The Wasp Nest is located on a canyon wall in the southern Alvar region. It must be explored to acquire Wasp jelly.

There are no chests in this dungeon.

The following numbered areas correspond to the numbers on the map.

1. Entry Hall[]

The entrance to the Wasp Nest is on the canyon wall. Once inside, the party will immediately be attacked by a large group of Wasp workers, Wasp sentries, and Wasp warriors.

2. First Hive[]

This part of the nest is three levels high with holes placed near the walls in the ceiling (and/or floor, depending on which level the party is visiting). If the party nears one of the access holes, more Wasp workers, Wasp sentries, and/or Wasp warriors will fly down to protect their territory. A jar of Wasp jelly may be present on the floor of any or all levels. In order to visit the levels above the entry, it will be necessary for the party to cast the spell Jump, either from someone's spellbook or from a scroll. In practice, some people report more success when casting from a scroll, which indicates the need is level-dependent. However, in testing this it seemed to be more important to cast from the correct location. It may be best to save the game and experiment with positioning.

3. Bridge[]

This bridge connects the two hives of the nest on the highest level.

4. Second Hive[]

This part of the nest is three levels high with holes placed near the walls in the ceiling (and/or floor, depending on which level the party is visiting). If the party nears one of the access holes, more Wasp workers, Wasp sentries, and/or Wasp warriors will fly down to protect their territory. A jar of Wasp jelly may be present on the floor of any or all levels.

5. Exit[]

There is an exit to the nest on the lowest level of this hive; however it is one-way. There is no re-entry on this side once the party leaves the nest.
