Flight of the Bumblebees

What to prepare

Nothing to gather, but three other quests to complete along the way: Critters That Go Bzzzbz, Laying Leaders and Insectarianism. Some objectives are only validated by making them progress.

The 16 quest steps

1. 1Start the quest

   Dialogue[2,16] · Osamodas Priestess

   It all depends on the order of your quests. If you finished Trouble in Paradise before A Sizeable Problem, Corporal Gobastol offers you the quest at the end of that one, at [0,18]. If you did A Sizeable Problem first, or turned down the corporal's offer, it's the Osamodas Priestess who offers it to you, at [2,16].

   Dialogue

   1. “Say that you're ready to begin the mission entrusted by Osamodas”

2. 2Enter a Kabombz nest

   Movement[8,15]

   The priestess sends you to inspect the mounds where the Kabombz live. In the Osavane, at [8,15], there is one of the colony's entrances (there are others). You must be able to shrink: with the Automatic Dimensional Reducer, which you already have, you get in without doing anything, and the shrinking isn't even noticeable.

3. 3Try to talk to the Curious Quadrabz

   Dialogue[23,27] · Curious Quadrabz

   In the Bzzkkbz Zowzrbz, the Curious Quadrabz seems disturbed by the big probe stuck in the nest: when it tries to touch it, it is thrown back. Talk to it again. It doesn't understand your language and tries in vain to communicate.

   Dialogue

   1. “Ask the Quadrabz if the probe disturbs the Kabombz”
   2. “Remember that you're talking to an insect and imitate a wing flutter by going ‘bzzzzzz.’”
   3. “Reply ‘Bzz god Osamodas send bzz me among you, me come in bzz peace’”

   At the second choice, the other answer is possible: it changes the rest of the dialogue only very slightly.

4. 4Learn the Kabombz language

   The conversation gives you another quest: complete Critters That Go Bzzzbz to learn the language of the Kabombz.

5. 5Talk with the curious Quadrabz

   Dialogue[23,27] · Curious Quadrabz

   Go back to the nest (access via the Toorbz at [8,15]). Explain to the Quadrabz that the probe raises the temperature: he doesn't understand why it gives off light and disturbing buzzing. Many insects are leaving the colony right now, but according to him it's not serious, the queens lay lots of eggs.

6. 6Talk to Corporal Gobastol about the probe

   Dialogue[0,18] · Corporal Gobastol

   At the outpost, the corporal can hardly believe it: his thermal probes are silent and give off no light. The repellent field that keeps insects away is working, though: he suspects sabotage. He gives you a flow switch to cut the field, and his Krosmoglob so you can contact him more easily.

   • Corporal Gobastol's Glob-Signalreceived

7. 7Chop the thermal probe's field

   [23,27]

   Go back to the nest and double-click the Flow Switch in your quest inventory. You get the “Thermal Probe Access” alteration, which lets you enter the probe. A buzzing escapes from it.

8. 8Defeat the Kabombz guards

   Combat[23,27] · Buzzing Machine

   Click on the probe to enter it. Inside you discover a Buzzing Machine that has no business being there. As you get closer, Kabombz appear to protect it: a fight starts, which can be done with several players.

   Dialogue

   1. “Get ready for the fight”

   • Kabombz Guardfight · level 170 · 5,500 HP · 11 AP · 4 MP

9. 9Ask the Curious Quadrabz for advice

   Dialogue[23,27] · Curious Quadrabz

   Exit the probe through the hole in the center and complain about the guards to the Curious Quadrabz. The guards only obey the queens: they will leave only on their order.

10. 10Convince the Kabombz queens

    Dialogue[24,23]

    The Quadrabz gives you another quest: complete Laying Leaders. The queens, convinced of the danger the machine poses, promise to recall their guards.

11. 11Study the Buzzing Machine

    Dialogue[23,27] · Buzzing Machine

    Go back to [23,27] and click on the probe again. No more guards this time, but there's no way to understand what the machine is for: you need the corporal's help.

    Dialogue

    1. “Take the time to study the machine”

12. 12Contact the corporal via Krosmoglob

    [23,27] · Corporal Gobastol's Krosmoglob

    Double-click the Corporal Gobastol's Glob-Signal in your quest items, then talk to the Krosmoglob that appears and describe the machine. It looks like a modified Foggernaut device: the corporal decides to blow it up with his Krosmoglob and advises you to take cover.

    If the Krosmoglob doesn't appear, exit the probe and enter it again.

13. 13Blow up the machine

    [23,27] · Corporal Gobastol's Krosmoglob

    Stand behind the big bolt on the left to avoid the debris, then talk to the Krosmoglob again: tell him you're safe and that he can send the orichoric energy. After the explosion, examine the Machine Reduced to Ash to find a piece of debris.

14. 14Show the debris to the corporal

    Items[23,27] · Corporal Gobastol's Krosmoglob

    Talk to the Krosmoglob again: a piece of turbine, a spring, and above all a part that emits a signal. It's a distress beacon: whoever installed the machine may show up. The corporal advises you to put the beacon back in place and turn into a Kabombz to unmask them.

15. 15Unmask the cult

    The Krosmoglob gives you one last quest: complete Insectarianism. It validates “Learn more about the builders of the machine”, then the objective “Put an end to the cult's meddling in the dimension”, which appears along the way.

16. 16Go back to the Osamodas Priestess

    Dialogue[2,16] · Osamodas Priestess

    Order is restored in the nests, but the seasons remain disrupted: the investigation continues with the zarbivores. The quest ends.

    Dialogue

    1. “Announce that you destroyed the cult's idol that was harming the insects”
