How do I kill a deathworm? deathworm battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
These are on Fjordur map in the volcano region (bottom right). It scared the crap outta me!!!
On the scorched earth you can find a ton of them in the upper right corner. They spawn there in groups of 3-5 sometimes with an Alpha. Just don't face them all at once or you die...
Interestingly if you come into an assumed view range of a Deathworm a bug, Pune not intended, allows the Deathworm to be seen for a brief second, allowing one to prepare against either attack or attacking the monster.
Have a lightning wyvern with 300+ melee and 10k+hp, 4 blast and it's done.
It doesn’t matter what level the death worm is, they will all have the same health and melee, I just wish you luck is all
If you see a couple big sand clouds when at the edge of the dunes... Just accept your fate. I wandering into the dunes riding my raptor and had my high level direwolf with me (Had all my stuff in it) goofing around with the oasisisaur and I saw the clouds coming at me... My direwolf put up a good fight but died and I couldn't get his stuff back since they were guarding it. Just think of outer dunes as off limits for terrestrials.
Killed it with my team of Argues on single player
me= *lands in dessert*
me=*sees sand blobs moving towards me*
deathworm= “YOU PICKED THW WRONG HOUSE FOOL”
me=shitshitshitSHIT RUN
You just need a good thyla...
WHY IS EVERYONE TALKING ABOUT USING LIGHTNING WYVERNS AND YUTYS? Please explain.
Me: what a lovely day in the desert…
Death-worm under the sand: mmmh… a snack!
Me: what’s that rumbling?
Game: you were killed by lvl 100 death-worm
For the iceworm cave on ragnarok, a mantis with a good sword will slaughter everything
Get a Rex with atleast 10k health and 200% melee damage. If going with a buddy, I highly recommend bringing a Yutyrannus with you. Their strength boost is very helpful in situations like these.
Steal high level wyvern eggs, imprint them & it’s an easy kill.
Bring an army of high level wyverns and ride any creature that’s fast enough to escape the deathworm (or you could just ride one of the wyverns). Use the orbit camera to look under the ground until you spot a worm, run over it and whistle your wyverns to attack it. And don’t let it access any of your holes.
Do NOT fly ur Oasisaur too close to the ground or else it just teleport to the oasisaur ground and kill u
If you see orange dust in the desert run faster than sonic
You can lie down prone on the ground and enter orbital camera to see them under the sand. But beware, there's a glitch where they can despawn as you approach, because of this glitch I've never gotten the chance to fight one
This is not a boss why do they say it is
To find them just run/fly around and look for them when they first render in they flash out of the ground I found three in under 5 minutes each
I brought a radar stryder to SE to look for Phoenix and found that there are many many worms. I found 9 out from green ob alone. Most worms are up against the map walls.
Kudos to Wildcard for the outlined representation of the buried deathworm - or is it just me?
