How do I kill a deathworm? deathworm battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
To whoever asked:
Go to the maps section of the app: Tap the menu button up top and go to maps, select the map you are playing on, and tap Creature map. Ten, scroll down until you see Creature select. Choose your creature (a thyla, in your case) and go back to the map. It will display the areas and rarity of your creature’s spawn. Hope this helps. You can also choose a resources map or exploration map.
So best way to kill one of these is a megatherium. There are chitin creautures everywhere to get the buff. Killed like 20 yesterday this way. But are they lvl 1 maximal on normal?
For those wondering
You can find these demons in an ice cave on Ragnarok. I do not recommend going unprepared-
How to kill this demon
Step 1: you don’t it kills you
Step 2: except your fate
Megatheriums are excellent for killing them including alphas. just murder bugs around the desert and the bug killing buff will allow you to tank hits and deal loads of damage :D
On Ragnarok I had the 'best' surprise ever and encountered one not knowing what the heck was happening I was gathering meat from killing animals and noticed some dust following me I stayed to see what it was and a giant worm appeared and killed my pteranodon and me along with it
If you are in single player you can see them for a split second not under the sand once in render range. If you have an imprint multiplier for your game set to 20 a 100% imprinted direwolf should suffice. Flying (cheat/command) also has the speed needed to quickly spot them render in. This does depend on hardware and device, I am using a gaming laptop for that with the game in an external hard drive. On another note most I have encountered seem to stay in one area for a small amount of time once rendered in before disappearing.
There’s a dead one on balhimer, Fjordur.
You find these things in the open part if the desert in Ragnarok. You really just need a good level Thyla and you should be fine. There a bit overrated, trust me I used to live in the desert. Mantises are tamed with Deathworm horns.
I know a good tip don’t encounter one
100% don't use herbivores unless you have veggie cakes I learned from experience R.I.P roco
Since everyone else's tips are stupid. If you want to find a deathworm, you can use k mode and look underground. If a worm is nearby, you will see it's body. You can use a land mount like a thyla or a flyer like the wyvern. If flying, point the flyer downwards to make controlling easier. As for fighting it....use whatever dino you have. Rexes are great, wyverns too. Wolves are effective against the worms as well as the alpha to. If you plan to live out on the dunes in SE, be prepared to have random encounters time to time. These worms CAN destroy thatch-stone-adobe. My solution was to just use my rex army but wolves work great early game.
Bruh, y’all takin rexes and wiverns, all u need is some oil jars and flame arrows
Hands down the best way to kill this is with a megatherium. When you are in the desert make sure you kill a bug to get its bonus and it will shred the deathworm with ease.
Ragnarok’s southeast desert region has them. Look around the base of the big striped mountain a lil bit up the shore. Use a rex or thyla with high stats.
me= *lands in dessert*
me=*sees sand blobs moving towards me*
deathworm= “YOU PICKED THW WRONG HOUSE FOOL”
me=shitshitshitSHIT RUN
These are on Fjordur map in the volcano region (bottom right). It scared the crap outta me!!!
Have a Petra and oil jars and flame arrows when the death worm comes at you set the oil on fire and when it goes under just go to the same spot easy XP or horns
While playing survival, you get yourself a megatherium, head on over to the dunes, start killing yourself some bugs, use the orbital camera to search out a deathworm. It levels you and your mount SUPER fast. Then you can literally hunt down deathworms. By the way, a high level megatherium can kill a rock golem.... hint hint.
Fuking run it will eat your toes
