Solen Matriarch Quest
The Solen Matriarch Quest requires you to kill 7 enemy Solen Infiltrators and refresh the water supply for the Solen Matriarch. For this quest, if a red Solen Matriarch gives the quest, you must kill black solen. If a black Solen Matriarch gives the quest, you must kill red solen. The starting point for the quest is the center of the Solen Hive.
If the Matriarch will not speak to you, give her a plant seed. She will then offer you the quest. It is recommended that you collect 8 pitchers of water before you head back to the Matriarch, because that is what she asks for when she notes that you have killed the requisite Infiltrators. Once you've emptied the pitchers into the vats located at the south-end of the Solen Hive center chamber, head back to the Matriarch. She will ask for 200 Zoogi Fungus. Upon receipt, between 250-350 Gold and 100 Powder of Translocation will spawn in your backpack. You will also no longer be attacked by members of the hive, at least until you start attacking them. The Friendship of the Hive is conditional.
