How do I kill a deathworm? deathworm battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Just get a thyla with a crap ton of hp. They deal percentage damage bleed.
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...
Fuking run it will eat your toes
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.
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
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?
best way to kill a death worm is to get a decent level thyla with 3k health and 200 percent melee and then just keep hitting it with your bleed and it will eventually die.
You just need a good thyla...
WHY IS EVERYONE TALKING ABOUT USING LIGHTNING WYVERNS AND YUTYS? Please explain.
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.
Steal high level wyvern eggs, imprint them & it’s an easy kill.
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.
Use Sword and a mastercraft shield. Block worm's attack, then attack it twice and put your shield up quickly for worm's next attack. Rinse lather repeat. If you get knocked back too far the sword won't hit. Maintain push towards the worm to stay close while shielding. Practice the timing. When looking for them. Go on foot. They will find you. When u see a dust circle on ground in front, put your shield up for worm's surprise attack and jus keep up the pattern I mentioned. You can it twice after every block. That's how its done on foot.
If you run into an alpha one ether run or you are done for
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
Best way to find these easily is by using ORBIT CAMERA to look under the sand.
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
Don’t ever walk up to sand that is moving towards you it equal ☠️
This is not a boss why do they say it is
Don’t be in a desert area or die
