Backhive is a massive mammoth-like creature on four legs that dominates through overwhelming force and minion support. Found in The Claim Abandoned Auger Mine, Fadefields, Dissected Plateau. This boss can summon swarms of flying Kratch enemies while simultaneously launching devastating leap attacks and earthquake strikes. The fight becomes a chaotic battle of positioning as players must balance clearing the horde of summoned enemies while avoiding Backhive's direct assaults.
Circle around the arena obstacles to block Backhive from directly rushing you. This positioning strategy forces the boss to take longer paths while giving you clear sight lines to clear Kratch swarms.
