The Hive
--------
This dungeon resets every 7 days.

Walk in through the main door and through the hallway.  Directly
ahead of you is a room filled with a very large quantity of devils
of various ranks. When they're dead, jump into the hole in the
floor on the southwest side of the room. (All of the doors out of
this room won't budge.) From the bottom, clean out the room to the
north and then follow the tube to the south.

As you're in this entire complex, you'll get a message about the
Flush System. When the "Flush is in progress", everyone in the
party will take a small amount of damage unless they're standing
on one of the blue squares that is "Protected" (that's the name
you get when you hover the mouse over it).  On the side of the
tube will be a room guarded with a few devils. There is a switch
on the opposite side of the room that you should flip. Continuing
down the tube, there is a chest a little further down.

The next door on the left leads to a room with a large red switch.
This switch will teleport you back to the entrance. You won't want
to push it yet. If you continue along the tube, there will be a
keg in a side room that restores 20 hit points when used.
The tube now loops around back to the large central room.  Cross
that room and jump down the hole in the southeast side of the
room. Follow that tube around the corner and then through the
large green door. Behind the door is a passage that leads around
to a secret door near the entrance. Yet another way to get out of
here. Return to the hallway below and continue down the tube.
Skip past the next door (since it won't open) and enter the door
after that on the left. Inside this room is a switch which you
should flip, and a chest that contained Lucius. Continuing down
the tube, the passage will let out back into the large room.

Now head for the northeast tube and jump into it. Follow the tube.
There will be set of rooms to the north and south. There is a
chest of items in the corner of one of the rooms. Continue down
the tube.

Around the corner is another chest. Inside this chest is the Hive
Sanctum Key. It's important -- don't lose it. The tunnel continues
until it reaches the backside of a door in the passage north of
the large central room. Return to the large room and take the
northwest pit.  In an alcove on the north side of the passage,
there is a button on a ledge. Push that button. Then continue down
to the next room. In that room there is a chest full of items. The
tube continues back to the passage to the north of the large room.

In the large room, look at that grate in the middle of the room.
If you stand in the middle of the grate, you will fall through it.
In the resulting tube, follow it to a medium sized room. On the
east side of that room is a door that opens only if you have the
Hive Sanctum Key. Go through the door. On the wall around the
corner is a switch. This switch will cause the floor to disappear
and allow you to drop down in the sanctum. It will reveal a room
that has a reactor in the middle.  Destroy the Reactor. (You must
use ancient weapons to do this; all other weapons and spells are
useless.) When it dies, you will be teleported across the room.
All of your magic will be dispelled; the room will fill up with
devils and behind you will be a demon queen. Kill 'em all.

When they're all dead, head into the room where the Queen was, go
to the back of the room, and click on the swirling black wall (the
one labelled Exit) and you will have WON THE GAME.
