Throne and Liberty: How to Defeat the Honeypot Ant

As part of the Beginning of Misfortune Ant Nest Exploration Quest in Throne and Liberty, players are tasked with finding and then defeating a Honeypot Ant. But finding a specific ant within a nest can be considered as easy as finding a needle in a haystack, or at least that’s how it was supposed to be.

Here’s where to find and how to defeat a Honeypot Ant in Throne and Liberty, as well as where to find the Giant Acid Ant.

Where to Find and How to Defeat the Honeypot Ant in Throne and Liberty

Unlike all of the other enemies located inside the Ant Nest, you will need to force a Honeypot Ant to appear to defeat it, a feat you can accomplish by defeating a set number of ants around a Honeypot Egg. The eggs will be easy to spot, given their bright yellow light. As you can see below, I found one by heading to the northwestmost portion of the Spawning Ground area.

After you make the Honeypot Ant appear, there will be no secret to defeating it, as it will be significantly weaker than even the regular Working and Soldier Ants found in spades around the area. If you don’t want to have to face all of the ants featured between the entrance of the dungeon and the egg, you will be able to get past them undisturbed by morphing into a creature. In my case, the Toximaw Spider did the job well.

Where to Find and How to Defeat the Giant Acid Ant

Now that the Honeypot Ant is done with and if you have already acquired the area’s Expedition Records, you will only need to defeat the Giant Acid Ant to complete Beginning of Misfortune. As you can see below, you can find the Giant Acid Ant by heading to the lower portion of the Garbage Dump area, located in the eastmost portion of the map.

Unlike any other enemies within the nest, however, I don’t recommend facing the Giant Acid Ant alone while at level 30-40, as it will have a massive health pool and the ability to drain your HP in seconds through poison. If that is not enough, facing the ant will also mean going against all of the ones surrounding your target.

Now that you know where to find both the Honeypot and the Giant Acid Ant, don’t forget to also check out how to defeat the Dark Specter in Throne and Liberty.
