She calls herself Queen. But don’t let the glowing throne fool you... the Bee Queen is not your friend. This is one of the most misleading questlines in the entire game.

It starts weird, gets weirder, and ends with you questioning everything, including your ethereal cobweb budget.

Here’s how to survive her twisted little royal court.

How to Start the Bee Queen Quest

To trigger the "Confrontation Looks Like Hope" quest, you’ll need to explore the Farlorns. Look for the Weird Hive, a glowing, alien-looking place that’s hard to miss once you’re in the area.

Inside, you’ll meet the Bee Queen.

She’ll claim she’s alone, misunderstood, maybe even flirty. Then she’ll hit you with the real ask: ethereal cobwebs. Lots of them.

She wants to build her power back up, and you’re just the poor soul she’s chosen to gather the materials.

What She Wants from You

Here’s the actual breakdown:

She’ll give you the “Confrontation Looks Like Hope” quest
You’ll be asked to gather cobwebs and become her “consort”
Eventually, she’ll demand a total of 1,750 cobwebs if you keep saying yes

You’ll feel like you’re working toward something meaningful. Maybe a transformation. Maybe actual affection. Maybe a good reward.

Spoiler: it’s a helmet.

Rewards for Siding With Her

If you go all-in on her twisted fantasy, here’s what you get:

Sting (a poison-based sword, good for DoT builds)
Queen’s Protector Crown (a unique helmet with decent bonuses)

These sound nice. But here’s the trick... you can get Sting no matter what choice you make. You can side with her or kill her rival, and the sword drops either way.

So, yes, you just burned 1,750 cobwebs for a hat.

What Happens if You Refuse

You can reject her. You can call her bluff, tell her she’s gone mad, or even attack her. Doing so locks you out of the helmet, but that’s it.

There’s no permanent penalty otherwise. You can still get Sting by completing the quest another way.

Honestly? That might be the cleaner option.

The Real Problem With the Quest

The story tries to sell this as a grand moral dilemma. A tragic love, or a lost soul reaching out through the weirdness. But in practice? It’s just a fetch quest stretched across hours, disguised as a romance arc.

And if you try to roleplay your way through it, expecting something meaningful at the end?

You’ll get burned. Or stung, technically.

The Smart Way to Handle It

Don’t give her cobwebs
Don’t try to “save” her
Take the fast route to Sting
Kill the other NPC, get the loot, move on

If you really want the helmet, grind it out. But know this: the game does not reward your loyalty. It just makes you look foolish for having it.

Final Blurb & FAQ

The Bee Queen in Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon might seem like a mystery wrapped in royalty, but she’s really just a well-dressed quest NPC with a cobweb addiction.

You’ll get the sword either way. The helmet? That’s between you, your patience, and your sanity.

Trust us... you don’t want to be her consort.
