How to defeat the Honeypot Ant in Throne and Liberty

The Honeypot Ant in Throne and Liberty does not reveal itself when players attack their nests directly. You can find this creature in the Ant Nest region and start clearing the area to eventually reach it:

You will need to get to the Ant Nest Waypoint and enter the dungeon.
Travel inside and start slaying down the Ants while going deeper into the region. Explore the area till you find a golden egg-like item on the floor.
Defeat the waves of enemies attacking your team. Once a lot of these creatures are defeated, the Honeypot Ant will emerge from the egg.
The lesser Ants will try to defend the Honeypot Ant and increase in numbers. So, it is best to defeat them as quickly as possible without straying away from the main objective.
Honeypot Ant is quite tanky and it will take a while to defeat it so it is best to adopt a paced strategy and switch between eliminating the swarms and dealing damage to the main enemy.
Once the Honeypot Ant has been defeated, you can claim its drops and enjoy the rewards.
