Get a "brain" from each of the three hives by killing any of the elite mobs at each one. Drop rate is very high; I didn't have to kill more than 10 mobs at each place before the brain dropped.

Recommend having one other person with you, but the mobs are soloable, though difficult.

Recommend doing Glyph Chasing and Into the Maw of Madness in conjunction with this quest.

Once this quest and Glyph Chasing are completed, leads to Unraveling the Mystery.

I hope you are right, the drop rate on this site is 1.9% lol

Awards 500 rep also

As of 2.3 these mobs are no longer elite.

Kommentar von liquidmetal

I don't know if there's anything to this, but I got all three of my brains from mobs that were in tunnels.

Kommentar von Thottbot

If you can kite, you can solo this, as long as you pull a melee type, you should have no problem. I just wish I was a skinner because I can kill these 60e bugs no problem.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Any of the elite mobs in the three hives will drop brains. The non elite wasps in Hive'zora will drop these too, but at a rate about 1/2 to 1/3 of the elites. Easily soloable by a rogue, just ambush, gouge, backstab, pop evasion, and then gouge, backstab, and evicerate your way to victory. The easiest mobs to go after are the Hive'ashi Stingers, Hive'zora Waywatchers, and the Hive'Regal Slavemakers or Spitfires. They have a few long spells they try to cast so be sure to kick or gouge them before they can get them off. Use dual instant poison and be prepared to blind them.

BRAIN drops suck. so look out you will spend quite some time on this quest.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Regarding the Silithid Hive Brains that drop for this quest; They will not drop straight away most of the time. It will take 5-15 kills approximately, such is the nature of the dreaded random drop. So its better to do this in a sturdy group of 2 or 3, Idealy while doing Glyph Chasing and Into The Maw of Madness. The Brains being a white (Standard Quality) Quest Item everyone in your group will get to loot it.

The Silithid Mobs are tough, but like mentioned above they are not quite as strong as normal 58-60 elites thus apparantly making them soloable for some people although I have not tried this myself as a 60 Orc Warrior.

Thnx for reading my comment and i hope it helped.

Orccheiften 60 Warrior, Kil'Jaeden

After I fairly easily solo'd Deathclasp with my 60 mage I started wondering what these elite bugs I had been running away from were like. There were nothing like I expected, and solo'd every one I tried without any deaths. Even did a 61 elite, which was a close fight, but still took it down.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Very easy for a 60 lock just pull ur mob out with our void. dot it and then fear it around, esay kill no damage at all

Kommentar von Thottbot

Soloed this as a 60 rogue usually with a Blind and Bandage each fight. I stuck to the 58 elites as the 59's and 60's required preparation and I aint waiting 10 mins per fight. You can stealth all the way in to the caves to find thr 58's. Dont touch the non elites as the are linked.

Kommentar von Thottbot

The hive ashi brain will drop from the non-elites that spawn after killing the undead in southwind village, easy way to solo one of the 3.
im gonna look for sililar things with the other 2 but think ashi is the only one that spawns non-elites

Kommentar von Thottbot

Solo'd as a Shadow Priest. Brain dropped off a Hive'Ashi bug right on the road at Cenarian Hold. The Zora brain took about 5 kills, those were a little tougher, just keep Vampiric Embrace on, drop out of shadow and heal if you need, but there's really nothing dangerous there.

Hive'Regal was a snap.. go after the Spitfire bugs, all they do is reduce your armor.. you'll take maybe 200 damage the whole fight if you keep your shield up and Vampiric Embrace. Easiest elites ever.

Kommentar von Thottbot

30.49
50.77
and a cave neer 35.64

took me 10-15min on this q

Kommentar von Thottbot

I see that only mages, locks, abd rogues say they can solo it... But if ure a shammy and in doubt if u can solo it have no worries... Just lightning bolt x2 and then frostshock, lightning bolt x2 and frostshock. U get the picture!

Btw: elemental spec helps alot sine crit dmg is alot higher ;)

Kommentar von Thottbot

damn low drop rates

Kommentar von Thottbot

I was able to solo it with about 5.5k mana and moonkin form with 11% increased chance to crit from gear before moonkin aura. entangle + spam starfire rank 7. if you're unlucky or bad you'll get hit once.

Kommentar von Thottbot

im happy, i was @ Hive'Zora and i attacked A non elite and it was bugged so It couldnt attack me, and it dropped a brain :D

Kommentar von Thottbot

I finished the brains quest and turned it in at the camp, but now I cannot find the other quest. Is there any reqiourments to get the next quest? Or is there a diffrent location to find the next quest? Please comment back!

Kommentar von Thottbot

These creatures must be quite stupid, cause they don't have any brains. See! The quest's idea is to kill the only one monster who has brains so that they
can't make any resistance.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Fighting the 'Bug War' or looking for 'Brain Bugs'.. this thing has Starship Troopers written all over it. =)

Kommentar von Thottbot

hehe , starship troopers rulez

Kommentar von Thottbot

Thank you sincerely for the suggestions of types to kill, they where so much easier than the first ones I tried.

For all rogues, kill the mobs he mentioned above and you shall succeed.

Roxy, 60 Night Elf Rogue, Lightning's Blade.

Kommentar von Thottbot

The drop rate is bad. Kiting to the city doesnt help because the guards just watch you die. They must have fixed that in a patch. :(
I miss MMO's where you could have fun and be productive just soloing.

Kommentar von Thottbot

59 resto shammy... when I accident;y pulled a 60 I was concerned... but I SOLOD it... these have to be the lamest elites in the game... and I am thankful for that

1190 - 1500 xp per kill too

Kommentar von Thottbot

As a frost mage at least. 1 of these elite bugs offers no challenge to me, the lvl 62 elite dragonkin at dragonmaw gates in the wetlands are far harder then these. I am a mage with +414 spell damage.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I was having problems with drops too, but I wasn't trying to diversify my kills. As soon I made sure I was trying to kill all the different types of mobs at each location I got my brains much faster.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I found the drops coming from ordinary elite workers, the one's that don't attack unless you strike first or usually guard thorium veins.
3 kills, 3 drops.

Kommentar von Thottbot

No longer elite as per 2.3. Have fun soloing.

Kommentar von Thottbot

believe or believe they drop they drop the brains like that:
1): from the first kill
2): from the second kill
3): from the 8th kill

Kommentar von Thottbot

I've killed each thing in Hive'Zora and still haven't come across the stupid brain!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I got the ashi and regal brains within about 5 kills, but the zora brain took about 30 before one dropped.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

...for a L60 Rogue.

I concentrated on the L58/59 Elites around the perimiter of each hive. I had to buff up my rogue with "Well Fed" and Scrolls, plus be prepared to use a healing potion if things got really bad.

I'd go after the solitary bugs, stealthing from behind and hitting with Cheap Shot, then Back Stab, then using Evasion once they turned around. Even with Scroll enhanced Agility, Stamina, Strength, and Armor, and both daggers loaded up with poison, these were tough fights for me against L59 Elites, but normally I could defeat them with 10% hit points left...sometimes a bit less. I tried a couple of L60 Elites but had to back off as they were too strong.

I eventually got all three brains without having to venture into any of the Hive basins...only by attacking solitary bugs around the perimeter. Took two trips to Silithus, probably about 2 hours total. I received 7g 96s for completing the quest!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

got them from the first drops in each place! :) maybe i got lucky! :)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

zora second, regal first, ashi 50 kills and no drops yet..

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The steps brainz and WoWFeenix said works ok for me for soloing. No one ever there to group with :(

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Bad Bad Bad drop rate at Regal... ive killed tons of mobs here, nothing... got a bunch of green EQ, but no brains.. looks like none of them have a brain :P

Kommentar von Allakhazam

2nd from ashi, 2nd from zora 18th regal, did it as a 60 holy pally

Kommentar von Allakhazam

you find them in the bugs that are in groups of 4 or 3

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Does this quest give any rep with CC?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Lvl 59 Hunter, Aint so bad getting the kills, Getting the brains... thats another story.. no drops yet for Any of them, been on this for ages... lol

Kommentar von Allakhazam

1. - i got hive ashi brain from killing the druid and sentinel ghosts at southwind village (off the non elite bug that spawns when u kill them)

2. Hive Zora - found some mounted CC guards, shot the closest elite 59 to them stayed def stance with shield on and let them pummel him , brain dropped

3. Hive Regal - no cc guards - as a warrior with crap gear - cant solo this one

Kommentar von Antix5280

While I realize this is a bit anecdotal, I killed several different mobs in Regal and Ashi, and thinking of the better of it, decided to start killing neutral reaction worker/tunneler/burrower silithid. In four worker kills I got three brains. Maybe this saves you some trouble, or maybe RNG was just messing with me.

Ich denke, ich kann ein Elixier entwickeln, welches uns die Entschlüsselung der Glyphen und der Sprachen der Silithiden und Qiraji sehr erleichtern wird. Was ich dafür brauche? Gut, dass Ihr fragt! Ich benötige Gehirne! Um genau zu sein, die Gehirne eines Silithiden aus jedem einzelnen Silithidenschwarm, welche die Schwarmbauten bewohnen. Bringt mir die Gehirne und Rutgars Arbeit ist vielleicht nicht umsonst gewesen.
