Should You Side With Broc or Queen Bee in Tainted Grail…

Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon allows players to meet interesting NPCs and receive quests from them, which often lead to tough choices and great rewards. Confrontation Looks Like Hope is a similar side quest that players receive from an estranged NPC called Broc, who warns you to steer clear of the bees and the Queen controlling them.

However, this quickly leads to a quest where players meet Queen Bee and decide whether to comply with her demands and kill Broc, or turn against her instead. Here's what you should do.

How to Start Confrontation Looks Like Hope Quest in Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon

Players can start Confrontation Looks Like Hope by talking to Broc next to a bridge located to the north of the Horns of the South in Tainted Grain: The Fall of Avalon. Broc will mention Queen Bee and how players should be wary of her. However, once players head further on the trail after crossing the bridge, they'll be briefly attacked by a swarm of bees.

After a few seconds, the bees will scatter, and a mysterious figure emerges from the fog, handing an invitation to meet the Queen Bee. You'll need to head back to Broc and inform him of this invitation, to which he'll request players to slay the Queen Bee and rid the land of her evil.

So now, players can simply head to the quest marker that leads inside a mountain through a path of vines. Here, talking to the mysterious figure, who'll be revealed to be the Ghost of Broc Meala, will teleport you into the realm of the Queen Bee.

Should You Side with Queen Bee or Broc in Confrontation Looks Like Hope?

Now, players will meet up with Queen Bee, who'll offer players a chance to be her consort, on the condition that they kill Broc, the traitor. This is the moment in Confrontation Looks Like Hope where you'll need to choose to either kill Broc or turn on the Queen Bee instead.

If players choose to attack the Queen Bee, it'll lead to a rather difficult boss fight. The Queen Bee has a large health pool and will summon the Ghost of Broc Meala to fight alongside her. If you're underleveled, there's a very low chance of winning this fight. However, if you do manage to defeat her, you'll get 10 Honey Jars from her Corpse, and the Sting sword from Broc as a reward.

If players choose to fulfill the Queen's wishes and kill Broc (which is much easier), she'll reward players with the Sting weapon and give them a new quest called "Gifts for the Queen." This quest will require you to collect 1000 cobwebs for the Queen, and in exchange, you'll receive more Honey Jars, the Ghost of Broc Meala summoning spell, and the Queen's Protector Crown.

So, in terms of rewards, siding with the Queen Bee is the way to go in the Confrontation Looks Like Hope quest in Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon.
