Last update: 02 September 2024
During The Hive mission, you will infiltrate the Ashiga Clan stronghold. During the quest, you will also learn about the Crimson Dawn conspiracy, which will shed new light on the tense situation within the Kijimi-based syndicate. On this page of our guide we have collected a handful of useful information and tips that will help you complete this main storyline quest.
How to get to the fortress?
The entrance to the fortress is located in the southern part of the city. Before entering you will meet Ank and Qu'ra. They will give you a bomb with which you can blow up the fortress wall.
Follow the mission marker as you complete the platforming sections. Once you reach the active fan, use explosive rounds to break up the rock blocking the electronics. Shoot down the fan's power supply (after Nix opens the door for you) which will deactivate the device. You can now safely jump to the other side.
Plant the bomb and go inside. Continue your journey until you reach a room with a large group of guards. Be careful, as raising the alarm during this part of the mission will result in failure.
The terminal used to deactivate the turrets is located behind the energy barrier. To turn it off you must destroy three power sources.
The first power supply is easy to spot. It is located immediately to the left of the energy field.
The second power source to destroy is located on the mezzanine. To access it, send Nix to activate the button that lowers the ladder for you. Climb up and then shoot the machinery in the ventilation shaft.
The final power supply is behind the door above the room you came from earlier. Nix won't open the door for you because it's too high and hard to access. You have to get higher.
To the right of the energy field you will find a wall you can climb. Cross it to the raised area opposite the power supply. From there you can send Nix to open the door for you, behind which there is machinery to destroy.
Once you destroy the last power source, the barrier will fall. Hack the computer inside, then disable the defensive turrets in the fortress.
Go to the next room, where another wave of enemies awaits you. Be especially careful of small spiders - they will explode when they get close.
After the fight, Ank will inform you over the radio that the Crimson Dawn is heading to the cryochamber to steal an important artifact for the Ashiga Clan.
How to get to the cryochamber?
Continue your journey until you reach the ice-covered cryochamber. Inside you will be attacked by Crimson Dawn agents. Defeat them, then take the artifact from the stand.
Follow the marker. Narrow tunnels and a ventilation shaft will eventually lead you to the palace of the Ashiga Queen.
In the palace you will be able to decide whether you will return the artifact and power over the clan to the current queen, or whether you will support Krisk supported by the Scarlet Dawn. You can find more information about the consequences of each decision on a separate page of our guide.
Regardless of your decision, the Swarm quest will end with a cut-scene of Kay talking to Qi'ra and Ank joining Trailblazer's crew. This is also where the main storyline on planet Kijimi ends, which means you can safely move on to the next hub.
