What is the best tactic to fight the Hive bosses as a solo Elite Knight?

Question

What Is the best/recommended tactic for the knights to farm bosses at Hive sole; and also:

• What is recommended level for the EK to go there?

Comments

First of all I think that question about profit in this place should be asked separately, since it has nothing to do with the tactic to fight with the Hive bosses.
Secondly, I think that in this particular place the profit is really hard to define. It depends on your luck with the shining Dung Balls. It's price is as high that your profit may vary by as much as 500k (or even more).

I removed the part regarding profit. Please, ask this question in a separate question if you want to ask multiple topics about the Hive.

Answer 1

Hive Bosses are usually surrounded with other mobs such us Waspoid's, Insectoids Worker's, Crawlers, Spitters and :

 Hive Overseer (summoning 2 Spidris Elite), Kollos, 

 Spidris Elite & Spidris

Level recommended: 300+

Weapon's Recommendations: Winterblade (from the 200 lvl)/ Gnome Sword (from the 250 lvl), Cobra Axe ( from the 220 lvl)/ Falcon Battleaxe (from the 300 lvl), Resizer( from the 230 lvl)/ Falcon Mace (from 300 lvl)

Tactic 1- Take it slow.

Move slowly and kill mobs on the way to the bosses to make sure they will not follow you and block you. Corner Hive Overseer (try to separate them and deal individually) and kill him as fast as possible. Once the place is cleared, focus on the Boss. note: Mew will be behaving like Overseerer and will attack you from distance. You will have to corner him. 

Tactic 2. Run Fast.

Run Quickly next to the wall (not many mobs is respawning next to the wall). Help yourself with  Energy Bomb Rune's and Energy Wall Rune's. It is recommended to use them to have an escape route in case mobs are lured in large amount. You will still have to kill mobs around the bosses.

I'm an EK 250 and I search regularly for these bosses in -1.

If you're also a low level as I am, I would recommend you never to run through the big room without knowing it very well.
First, there are too many monsters and the floor is quite confusing so that you can very easily get trapped.
Second, even if you know your way, you will get paralyzed sometimes by Spitter (which isn't the biggest problem) and if you are very unlucky, the boss Mindmasher may be somewhere hidden (even invisible) and you may get drunk (it took me some SSA, mighty rings and UHP to get out of trap with 8 monsters around me).

Very important: your biggest problem will always be the Hive Overseer and his summons (all the bosses, taken separately, are less dangerous than it and its summons). If you want/must kill it, use 'exeta amp res' to get it (just one if you're 300-) close to you and always focus your full attack on it.

As it is very slow, I usually lure all the other monsters (including bosses) to a place outside of its range and kill them without problems.
