Useful Info
Swamp worms are aquatic predators, much like sharks and giant goldfish but faster and more powerful. They can deal significant damage to lightly armoured characters, but fortunately they are unable to reach you unless you're standing in or adjacent to water. They are common pests in the Swamp, and appear in a handful of other vaults.
Tips & Tricks
- A weapon of venom or other means of poisoning them lets you kill them even if they try to flee and submerge.
- Due to their low magic resistance, Hexes are also extremely effective.
