The Wasp Queen is the first boss in Fable and Fable: The Lost Chapters. When the Hero graduates from the Hero's Guild, his first quest, Wasp Menace, is to defeat the Wasp Queen because she is terrorizing the local Picnic Area. She is fairly easy to defeat because she attacks in intervals. First attacks with her base attack then retreating to summon normal Wasps to fight you. Once you have defeated her you will receive your first trophy of the game, the Wasp Queen's Head. Afterwards you will probably find people are cheering you a lot more for maybe the first time.

It is suggested by the Guildmaster that evil forces may have turned the Wasp Queen against you, probably Jack of Blades. She used to be a peaceful creature.

Strategy[]

Your goal is to kill the wasps in the Picnic Area. If you don’t know how to reach the Picnic Area, then you’re in luck. Not only will you find blinking gold exit markers showing the way, but a man will run up to you once you’ve exited the Heroes’ Guild, and he’ll lead you to the area.

Wasps are only a little more difficult than beetles, and so you shouldn’t have much of a problem dispatching them. After you’ve killed the first batch of wasps, the wasp queen herself will arrive. The wasp queen isn’t all that powerful, either, but she can create more wasps, and so you should try and kill her as quickly as possible. Since the wasp queen flies it's best to shoot her from a bit away and step from side to side to avoid her attacks.

The Wasp Queen has two stages, the second stage being activated by a scripted spawning of wasps. Thusly, she cannot be one-shot by weapons like Skorm's Bow.

Notes[]

  • If you stand still while you are close enough or lower enough to the Wasp Queen while she is attacking, then she can't hit you.
  • Because of the arch of her attack and how the game registers the damage, it is possible to get hit by the Wasp Queen while she is recovering from her attack (after striking, before going idle).
  • Since the Wasp Queen can't be killed during her first phase, it is possible to keep attacking her to farm a higher combat multiplier and experience points before she triggers her spawning of wasps.
