Brittany's Report
This was a bit of an emotional roller coaster for us. We were lured in by the sweet scent, but when we cut it open, it was infested with huge insects! Alph fainted, poor thing. Then I realized that the "insects" were seeds! Yay! Alph will wake up, eventually.

How to Get the Seed Hive

Obtained After Defeating The Scornet Maestro

Seed Hive How to Obtain.jpeg

The Seed Hive can be obtained during the story mission Defeat the Scornet Maestro! After the Scornet Maestro is defeated, the fruit will appear. Transporting the fruit will take quite some time, so consider splitting transportation of the fruit into two days.

A Myserious Person will also appear along with the fruit, but transporting the person back will continue the story, making the fruit dissapear. In order to avoid this, first take the Seed Hive and the body of the Scornet Maestro back to the ship and transport the Mysterious Person last.
