War Against the Hive Quest/Spoiler

Equipment

 * Rope or equivalent items or spells

Orockle is trying to fight against the destructive Hive Born. You can do the following missions for him; there is no particular order. Each missions counts as an "action" against the Hive Born. Enough actions will result in increasing the stage of The Hive, which introduces access to more areas.

Orockle will give you the items you need, but if you lose them you can buy them from him for 150-200 gp per item. You can quit an active mission and restart it again later without losing any progress. You may only quit a mission every 30 minutes.

First Stage
The first stage missions are to blind the hive (Antenna Blinding), disrupt its digestion (Disrupt The Hives Digestion), gather acid (Dissolved Chitin), or disable swarm pores (Pore Stuffing).

Antenna Blinding
Orockle will give you a Strange Powder. Travel around the east side of The Hive and use the powder on any of the antennae to disrupt their communications. You must use the powder on 8 different antennae.

Mission: Disrupt The Hives Digestion
Orockle will give you a Blob Bomb. Travel to the far eastern side of The Hive and use the Blob Bomb on Floor Blobs.

Mission: Dissolved Chitin
Orockle will give you 8 Flasks of Chitin Dissolver and a Swarmer Drum. You must kill 8 Swarmers (try one at a time) or find their recently dead corpses and use one of these flasks on them to dissolve their chitin (what insect shells are made of). Using up the flask you will then get a Flask of Dissolved Chitin

The next step is to use the Swarmer Drum while you are on the ground floor of the northern Hive side. This will summon a Swarmer Hatchling which you should then feed to green Flask of Dissolved Chitin to. Immediately the Hatchling will travel to Orockle who will collect acid from it.

Return to Orockle after feeding 8 Hatchlings.

Mission: Pore Stuffing
Orockle will give you a Gooey Substance. Travel to The Hive side and use the Gooey Substance on 7 Hive Pores to. They will spawn many Lesser Swarmers.

Second Stage
The second stage missions are to kill the guards (Kollo's Killing) or break the control crystals (Destroy The Hive Crystals).

Mission: Kollo's Killing
Kill 9 Kollos'.

Mission: Destroy The Hive Crystals
Orockle will give you a Reagent Flask. Travel to The Hive side and use the flask on the corpse of a Spidris. Do this five times. You will then get a flask of Aggressive Fluid. Use it on the black crystal Insectoid Monoliths to destroy them. You can refill the flask on another Spidris corpse.

Third Stage
Unknown.

Rewards
Doing the missions earns points: the first stage missions are worth 1 point each, and the second stage missions are worth 2 points each. 150 points must be earned in order to access the reward room. You can continue to earn points and every time the reward room is accessed 150 points will be removed, but you keep whatever number of points are left.
