Tips & Strategies from the iOS & Android apps
Get a few hoverskifts
Paint all but one black
Have your friends chase you with them
Fly right over an alpha one and have it destroy them
There you go you’ve re-enacted star wars
Get a decent Megatherium, kill any bug, and fight this dude. The Megatherium tanks the attacks like a pro, and it only loses 1500-2000 health. This is also an easy XP farm. At level 80 with 2x experience, you will definitely go up a full level and a half. Deal the final blow with the dino you want to level.
For me, the lightning wyvern worked best. You have to find a deathworm, wait for it to emerge from the sand, and start shooting it with the wyvern. Then, when it hides underground, you must sit on the ground and when it moves towards us, use wyvern push attack. After that, he should emerge at a safe distance to fire the wyvern again Important! Remember to keep moving backwards while on the ground, and push back approximately 5 seconds after the deathworm hides. I hope I helped <33
Why is no one talking about using a megatherium to kill these things? Just kill a quick scorpion to enter rage mode and destroy the deathworms
If you want to kill this easily,use one of the three wyverns.I prefer the fire wyvern
I watched a deathworm destroy my adobe structure because there was a dungbeetle inside.
I led a deathworm into a triple row of metal spike walls and it rose up in the middle of the spikes and ate me.
I did it for science.
What’s that rumbling underneath the desert sand? A death worm and if your I’ll prepared your probably dead! So let’s talk about them!
Appearance: Mud brown exoskeleton, with 2 legs on each side of the segmented exoskeleton, it’s face is similar to that of stag Beatles’ mandibles, with large legs dangling underneath them.
Where would you find one?: [MAJOR WARNING: these are extremely dangerous if you aren’t prepared] To find one simply traverse the border of scorched earth.
What do they do?: In lore, they were meant to terminate ANY survivors that try to exit the border, and they do this very efficiently. This is do to their massive health pool, their intimidating size, and the ability to come out of nowhere if your not paying attention. (So basically they’re the Gandalf’s of arks border: “you. SHALL-NOT! PASS!!!”)
Is there a reason to come face to face with one?: If your a low level… definitely not. If your a high level survivor with a fully imprinted tank of a tame, like a wyvern. Then yes there is a reason for killing them. Reason number 1 They are the only source of death worm horns (I know ironic right?). Reason number 2: The XP you gain when killing one.
Of course there’s also reasons not to mess with one: Their massive health pool. On top of being the equivalent to a reaper king Giga hybrid, it’s capable of taking huge chunks of health from your tame. If you run into one on accident without a tame, run while you still can or you can consider your self all sorts of dead.
Additional facts:
*Deathworm horns can be used to quickly tame a mantis
*Deathworms can ONLY traverse terrain while underground, while underground they sacrifice the ability to attack you, the same goes for you attacking it.
*deathworms can be detected by the bump of moving sand towards its target, they only attack survivors.
*When deathworms can’t reach the target, it has to go underground to get closer, before then being able to hit the target.
*Deathworms are around 1/4 taller than a giganotasaurus
