How do I kill a deathworm? deathworm battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
If you are new and think these are bad, dont worry. A decent pack of mate boosted wolves works great. I used 4, and R. I. P. Deathworm
To kill it easily... take you high level/OP lightning wyvern and hit it with the breath while flying. This makes it so the deathworm can't hit you and it'll most likely stay above ground since your close enough... at least that's how I killed one easily
Mid to high level wyverns annihilate these guys. Just swoop in and out while biting and breathing elemental breath on them
Not a boss, not a boss, not a boss, not a boss!
All you need is a oil jar, and to know where it is. Find the worm, throw the jar at the ground in front of it, then move backwards while keeping its aggression, that will kill it.
Use a lightning wyvern and regenerate stamina far away then snipe at it from the sky
If you want this thing then get a tanky T. rex with around 800% damage mine had 22953 health and tanked one in a head on battle
Using a mana in the lost island desert is a good way to farm deathworm horns. Just freeze them as they come out of the ground then jump out of the way before they hit you. Rinse and repeat and soon you have a dead deathworm
Go tame a couple thylacoleo breed them and then take 5 or 6 with you on the hunt. 100% imprinted thyla pack will shred deathworms in seconds.
Pack or good mutated direwolfs or thylas do the trick or if you're bringing stuff over i recommend deinonychus
WARNING if you wanna just take a walk on the sand don't they are hella overpowered they will kill you and you'll never know how many there are or where they will pop out from they are absolutely terrifying there is a alpha one!!! He is HUGE you can't miss it and if your just walking your done for
Use high-level gigas, I took on two alphas at once with a giga pack and won with no deaths
Simple, Blast the worm with your lightning wyvern.
Go into Orbital Camera mode (K button on PC) to scout them out underground
Breed dimorphodons and get lots of em easy kill.
Whoever said this isnt a boss last i knew it was it's a mini boss right?
Just use flame arrows or flamethrowers
A level 1 megatherium can kill one of these if you have the bug buff
All I used was a lvl 900 fire wyvern (max wild is 600 and levels gained max out at 300)
Allo army. Get, like, 30, and you should be fine.
