Description

It has a brown wood-like appearance, with foliage around its legs, resembling wires. It also sports a Hive logo made of wood on its torso. It is powered by the Lifeweaving technology of the Hive, which explains its unique abilities to create life with some attacks. It is shorter than a Megalodaunt, however it's size is not to be underestimated. It wields incredible power and can easily take out an inexperienced player.

It cannot climb, but does walk very fast, so if you're unlucky enough to encounter one and are underleveled / unprepared, it is recommended to run away. It can be tipped over, so if you have Mantras like Flame Ballista, Grand Javelin or Wind Gun, you can use them to stun it to aid your escape.

Spawn Locations

Hive Constructs can spawn in Starswept Valley and Bluster Rift.

Tips

• These things do unrelenting damage even at Power 20. Do not take them lightly. Pay attention to undodgeable cues and stay wary for the blue particles around the fist signifying a Meteor Punch usage.
• Be careful if fighting alongside Hive Constructs; if you get downed, there's a solid chance you will get instantly executed in the crossfire.
• If you are being chased by a Thresher, King Thresher, Sand Knight, etc. and there's a Hive Construct nearby, try going to the Construct as it will aggro onto the mob trying to kill you.
• Meteor Punch can be parried, but if you miss, you will take heavy damage.

Trivia

• It was virtually impossible to fight these directly for years after Deepwoken's release due to their animations being heavily bugged. They were fixed at an unknown date.
• Prioritizes Stone Knights below Authority Captains, meaning it will fight the Captain before the Knight.
• Can win every fight with another monster in Starswept Valley.
• They will mock The Central Authority after defeating an Authority Captain during the Hive Construct vs Authority Captain event.
  • Hive Constructs will almost always win these events without player intervention.
• Unlike most monsters, they have cancollide on, which means you can touch their model without phasing through them.
