Overview

The Hive is a Trial zone in CoH. A hero needs to be at least level 45 to enter.

The Hive is perhaps one of the most dangerous areas in all of Paragon City. It lies deep within the wild untamed regions of Eden and contains many forces of the Devouring Earth. Few Heroes have ever ventured in without being defeated, and none have explored the Hive in full. It is strongly recommended that Heroes venturing into the Hive be fully prepared and travel in as large a group as possible. In addition, only those with superior tactics will have a chance of success in this deadly complex.

The Hive Reconnaissance Officer

(-2374, 5, -557)

You are now in The Hive. This area is beyond anything you've ever experienced. What lies down there will not only wipe out you and your party, but a few other parties as well, if you're not careful. You are going to need massive reinforcements working together in order to survive here.
See my report for more information. It should give you an idea what to expect:

Exploration Badges

Time Bandit (1742.0, 1.7, -3819.0)

Portal Corporation had their main facility here until the Devouring Earth destroyed the area. This forced them to move their headquarters to Peregrine Island.

Heart of the Hamidon (-3.5, -338.0, -2181.5)

The Hamidon has defeated many heroes.

Transfer Points

There is only one entrance to The Hive. In Eden there is a gate in extremely poor repair along the northern half of the far east wall (marked on the in-game map as a red locator).

Notes

The northwest corner is where Portal Corporation once had their main facility. It has since been abandoned, and is relatively free of the Devouring Earth monsters that patrol the zone.

Villain Groups

The Hive is completely under control of the Devouring Earth. At it's center, you can find Hamidon, surrounded by it's mitochondria. Thorn, Stropharia, Lattice, and Quarry monsters roam through out the zone, while Devouring Swarms patrol the skies.
