I actually bought a bunch of bombs in preparation of taking on the hive, since they were stupid cheap. Me shooting it to death was mostly accidental. I wanted to try your advice, and once I succeeded, I thought to myself "I wonder how bad the boss fight is?" Course, when I walked into the center area of the room, the game lagged like hell, so I was having second thoughts about trying to bomb the room. That's when I started shooting. I didn't plan to win when I started, but I was determined to try after spending 15 minutes going at it.I'm glad you were able to do it, but if you took out the hive with a musket then I think I might have an idea just how much food you're talking about. Even though I don't play succubus in hindsight I should've thought of suggesting 5 frag bombs just for taking out the hive, or at least mention the stamina because those things have so much stamina that berserk medicine doesn't last long enough to kill it that way.

Also hives are 2x3 big, the square on the bottom row and middle column (where the chest spawns) is dry and the others may or may not be wet, and it can take damage from all 6 squares. So if you're thinking this might make them susceptible to aoe then your thoughts are absolutely correct.
Even though this hive has only 1000 hp here's a demonstration of what I mean. (level is 99 but stats were lowered using cheats)

If you understand this then I don't need to tell you anymore where to put the frag bombs or how to make hive kebab. (or come up with something that at least doesn't take so much food)
The musket isn't too bad. Its bullet has like 75 base damage, which is amazing for someone with 0 Combat and is incapable of using fine weapons. It's also (as far I know) the only ranged weapon available to a Nympho, so I always carried it with me.
After fighting the boss room, I realized that it's possible to cheese the Fortune Teller's true form. If you kill her human form in front of the counter and 1 space to the left or right of the door to the back, you can shoot her to death without retaliation, since the hive's attacks originate from the center and can't shoot through walls. You just have to aim at its edges.
Obligatory warning for the other guys reading this post: Don't kill her unless you never plan on coming back to this building again. Also, if you're going to kill her, kill her husband too. He drops a lot of money, including a gold coin. No morality penalty for murdering anyone in here.
Edit: Nevermind, it seems that the gold coin drop is uncommon. I just got really lucky the first time.
