Tips & Strategies

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.
More Deathworm Encountering Tips

When you have a giga....they are just worms...
Doesn't anybody think that on dodo dex you should be able to see were the creatures live or are most common at? I've spent an entire day looking for a thyla and never found one. By the way I did even look in the red woods still didn't find one
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
I watched a deathworm destroy my adobe structure because there was a dungbeetle inside.
For the few tips that I have read there hasn't been one that has talked about the Dinopithecus. If you tame a level 150 and get health up to 10k and melee damage up to 1000% these things tear through Death Worms
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.
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.
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.
These are on Fjordur map in the volcano region (bottom right). It scared the crap outta me!!!
