Hidden Grub in The Hive (reachable without double jump)

[Rei Scarlette]

Hi. I don't actually need help with this Grub, instead I wanted to share something I found. This Grub can be a little tricky, it seems people have trouble finding it occasionally. I hope that by writing the title this way, this topic will come up if people search for hidden Grubs or The Hive.

The Grub I'm speaking of is the one hidden away in the room before the Hiveblood charm. You can hear it, but its location is not immediately obvious. Normally, you have to go to the upper level of this room, super dash off of the top of the right wall, and then double jump into a hole in the ceiling to find it.

However, I ended up exploring The Hive early, before I obtained the Monarch Wings, so getting it the normal way was not an option. You can try to lure a bunch of bees over there and use them as a ladder, but that's very hard to set up. This alternate solution is much easier.

Firstly, you should walljump to the top of this wall, and stick yourself in the very corner of it using the super dash. You must be all the way at the top, you cannot afford any drop in vertical distance.

From that spot, you will collide with the left wall of the hole in the ceiling, instead of flying past it. You must walljump immediately afterwards or else you will fall. Do not hold left while walljumping, or else you will hit your head on the wall and fall down. Remember that you stick to walls after a superdash, so simply do a neutral walljump without holding left, and you will be up in the hole. From there you can proceed to the hidden Grub as you normally would.

Here is a screenshot of my inventory at the Grub's location, to show that I do not yet have the Monarch Wings.

Well, you could look at it that way. But another way of seeing it is that you found a difficult situation and came up with a solution of your own. I think pogoing off of the little bees is a smart alternative, even if the intended solution might be easier.

He found a difficult situation and made it significantly more difficult for no good reason* lol.
