It’s favorite food is force tame

BEHOLD, THE MONSTROUS MURDER-MAGGOT!

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

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

They aren’t too powerful if you have something like a deinonychus or a good allosaurus or wolf with good melle. Don’t panic when you see one unless your on foot.

Me: NO
My Friend: What Happened?
Me: I DO NOT WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT
My Friend: Oh Did All Of Your Tames Get Killed By That Deathworm Again?
Me: NOT JUST MEH TAMES 😟🤕😠

Wrong category, go to Encountering

Ragnarock - Go into ice cave and kill the weak deathworms there. Use a good shield to block their attacks and melee them with a sword, easy quick kills because they have so little health and they drop the same loot as a regular deathworm. Make sure to wear warm cloths.

The quickest way to kill this thing is a flamethrower c4 high level lightning wyvern and a dodo level 1 with c4 on it of course

I know a good tip don’t encounter one

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.

In order to fight death worms, get a rex with around 10k health and 200% melee damage. This lets you tank it while dealing loads of damage.

I used a Rex to kill a Deathworm a few minutes ago...

For your assessment:
My Rex had 300% Melee Damage and 10,4k health
After our battle he had around 5k health left and I was able to kill another one because I forcefed him until 7k hp...
Don’t underestimate this worm ... :/

Don’t be in a desert area or die

Use the horns to tame mantises for mantis kibble then you can get rock golems

A level 1 megatherium can kill one of these if you have the bug buff

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.

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.

Knock it out then kill it because it’s torpor is a pice of poop

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
