Very good update. The Hive was the area where I struggled the most to get through in the game (I didn't do Godmaster), even more than the White Palace, and it was the only area where I lost my souls during the playthrough when I completed the game. I like the visual of the area, with colors that are stronger than the game's average, I like the bees as a theme, and the boss is quite enjoyable to face as well.
Apparently, Hive Knight was not a boss in the base game and was added to the Hive area to spruce up an area that already (and unfortunately because it oozes wasted potential) felt like an afterthought from the developers. Hive Knight is a fine boss even if he sometimes feels like Hornet’s second fight with extra steps. Defeating him will reward The Knight with the defensive, regenerative Hiveblood charm, which was a lifesaver while trying to zip around the sawblades in the White Palace. Neato!
