God of War includes many challenging encounters and areas, all of which are fun and exciting. One such area in God of War that players must work to unlock is the Hive. An interesting space with a plethora of new challenges, the Hive is a place worthy of discovery. This article explains how to break into the Hive in God of War.
Kratos and his son must enter the Hive in order to eventually dispose of the Black Breath. The Hive, in Alfeim, cannot be instantly entered, however. In order to enter the Hive, players must complete a puzzle that allows them to proceed further into the zone. Indeed, the Hive is a segue into the rest of the story, and now that God of War: Ragnarok is on the way, there is no better time to jump into Kratos' legend.
How to Break into the Hive
The Hive entrance involves a simple puzzle. Once players arrive at the Alfeim zone and find themselves among the giant tentacles and expanding nodes, they are ready to complete the challenge and enter the new area in God of War's story.
There are a few glowing webs of flesh attached to three different overhead tentacles. Players need to line up the first set of glowing webs and, using the axe, destroy them with one throw. The overhead tentacle should then disappear. Players can then move to the two other tentacles. Once the webs beneath them have been destroyed as well, the entrance to the Hive is available.
Within the Hive, players have a few goals. They need to destroy the enemies of the Hive, find the Light, and Escape the Temple. These are elements of the main quest and are therefore important for completing the rest of God of War's unique story experience. Fortunately, once players know what to expect from the entrance to the Hive, it is easy to break in and continue Kratos' journey.
The Hive is certainly an area worth exploring, which is exciting for fans of the God of War franchise. And, now that God of War will soon be released on PC, there are soon going to be many new players who want to experience Kratos' story for themselves.
God of War is available now on PS4 and PS5 and will be released for PC on January 14, 2022.
