Smalland Black Hornet

You’ve battled your way through Smalland’s buzzing threats, and now you’re staring down the Smalland black hornet. No biggie, right? Except this beast doesn’t just want to sting; it wants to ruin your day with the most complex attack set in the game. Don’t worry—I’ve got you covered with this guide to surviving and conquering this Greylands terror.

The Black Hornet: A Quick Intro

The Smalland black hornet is the third major boss in Smalland’s progression line, and let me warn you—it’s not for the faint of heart. Nestled atop a dumpster in the Greylands, this monstrous bug is as intimidating as it sounds. It didn’t always call the trash heap home; according to Nok (your trusty NPC informant), it originally hailed from The Forbidden Monuments. That’s Smalland lore for you—everything’s got a backstory!

Once defeated, this hornet doesn’t just become a trophy for your kill wall. You can tame it using a Hornet Treat at The Playground location, turning this once-deadly foe into a loyal, rideable ally. But first, you’ve got to survive the fight.

The Fight: Why the Black Hornet is a Big Deal

What makes the Black Hornet such a challenge? It boasts three unique attacks, each designed to keep you on your toes:

• Basic Sting
  This is your standard wasp-like sting, and yes, it inflicts poison because why not? It’s slow but deadly if you’re not prepared.
• Side-Sting
  A lightning-fast side jab that packs extra power. This attack is particularly nasty because it comes out of nowhere, and yes, you guessed it—more poison.
• Charge Attack
  Like the Damselfly or Dragonfly, the Black Hornet charges at you, dealing serious damage if it connects. It’s the fastest and hardest to avoid of the three.

The real kicker? These attacks don’t follow a predictable pattern. The Black Hornet will mix and match as it pleases, leaving you guessing and dodging for your life.

Preparing for the Battle

The Smalland black hornet doesn’t have any particular weaknesses, so your strategy should be: bring the best gear you’ve got. Here’s what you’ll need:

Weapons
Skip the edged and poison-inflicting ones; the hornet laughs in the face of those. Instead, go for:

• Stinger Lance for quick, reliable strikes.
• Iron Hammer for heavy hits.
• Composite Bow to keep your distance while dealing consistent damage.
• Lubber Mace or Morningstar if you’ve explored the Ruins and want to bring the pain.

Armor
Piercing resistance is your friend here. The Bone Armor is a solid choice to help mitigate the hornet’s deadly stings.

Consumables
Stock up on Poison Resistance Brews. The Black Hornet’s poison attacks can whittle your health down fast if you’re not prepared.

The Strategy: Sting Back Harder

The Black Hornet is tough, but with the right strategy, you can clip its wings in no time:

• Stay Mobile
  This boss thrives on catching you off guard. Keep moving to avoid getting boxed in, and always have an exit strategy when it charges.
• Watch Its Patterns
  While the attacks don’t follow a set sequence, you can learn to recognize the wind-up for each move. Spotting these tells will give you a split second to react.
• Chip Away from a Distance
  The Composite Bow is a lifesaver here. Staying out of the hornet’s immediate reach minimizes the risk of getting poisoned.
• Close the Gap Smartly
  If you’re using melee weapons like the Lubber Mace, pick your moments. After a charge or side-sting, there’s usually a small window to land some hits.

The Aftermath: Sweet Victory

Defeating the Black Hornet isn’t just about glory (though, let’s face it, bragging rights are sweet). Here’s what you get for your trouble:

• The Iron wing Armor Set
  Bring the Black Hornet’s wings back to Nok, and you’ll gain access to crafting the Iron wing Armor. This set is a game-changer for surviving the toughest parts of Smalland.
• King Stag Beetle Location
  Nok will also reveal the location of the next big boss: the King Stag Beetle. You’re leveling up, my friend.
• Tame the Black Hornet
  Once defeated, you can tame a Black Hornet at The Playground using a Hornet Treat. Flying on this beast is the ultimate flex.
