Strategies
So, what do you do against a powerful beast which has a huge amount of HP and can kill you in 4 hits? Well, first of all, don't bring a full pollen bag, because you'll likely die on your first attempt and waste all of the pollen in your bag. Second of all, use these strategies:

Rage and Focus:
The Rage and Focus strategy relies on Rage and Focus tokens to get the job done. As soon as you enter the lair, grab as many Rage and Focus tokens as you can in order to damage him as much as possible in the least amount of time. If you want to improve this strategy, take multiple Lion Bees and wear items that provide damage reduction in order to be much safer.

Speed Dodger:
If you don't have access to Rage or Focus tokens, then consider this strategy, which relies on the fact that King Beetle has a REALLY predictable pattern of follow, stop, and lunge. Wait around King Beetle, and when he stops, wait around one and a half seconds and run out of the way. King Beetle should lunge and miss. Repeat until he's dead.
