Attack patterns
| Move | Tell | How to punish |
|---|---|---|
| Triple sting combo | Abdomen raises and strobes | Dodge left → punish once → reset. Never mash. |
| Aerial dive | Short lift, then angled dive | Sidestep at the last frame — rolling early gets clipped. |
| Hive call | Summons drones from the nest | Kill drones first — they chip Juno’s HP fast. |
| Phase 2 nest regen | Vespa seals the nest entrance | Burst damage through the seal to re-open the fight. |
Strategy
- Equip a fire-biased Divine Weapon — Vespa takes extra stagger.
- Eat a hearty dish at the camp before the fight.
- Open with a parry on the first sting to break its opener.
- After Phase 2 begins, prioritise re-opening the nest before attacking Vespa directly.
- Save your Divine Art for the Phase 2 opening — it skips several HP of the regen barrier.
Drops

| Vespa Stinger | 100% | Prologue-tier crafting material. |
| Divine shard (prologue) | 100% | Feeds the first Divine resonance upgrade. |
