Elite Version Mechanics

The elite Giant Worm functions the same as the normal version, but with major stat boosts:

    Higher Damage Output: A single slam can devastate unarmored players.

    Faster Action Speed: Dodging requires quicker reaction times.

    Increased Health: Extends the fight, increasing exposure to Dark And Darker Gold poison pools and burrows.

Because of these changes, elite worms are far more punishing if you miss a dodge or fail to reposition.

Strategies for Defeating the Giant Worm

General Combat Tips:

    Maintain a balance between staying close to avoid repeated burrows and keeping enough distance to dodge slams and sweeps.

    Poison resistance gear or consumables can drastically reduce the danger of prolonged fights.

    Don't let the worm dictate the battlefield, try to fight in open areas without tight corners.

Solo Play:

    Melee builds should use mobility skills to close in after burrow attacks, ensuring consistent DPS while avoiding long-range poison zoning.

    Ranged builds can kite the worm during slam and sweep recovery animations, but must reposition quickly if it burrows.

    Use consumables between attacks to counteract poison damage.

Party Play:

    Assign a tank or durable melee player to stay in close range, preventing repeated burrow cycles.

    Ranged players should focus on DPS during the worm's recovery animations while avoiding poison zones.

    Support roles can stand outside poison pool range, ready to Dark And Darker Gold Coins heal and cleanse poison stacks.
