Useful Info
Worms are early-game monsters that are durable and powerful, but quite slow and easy to kite. They can be found as early as Dungeon:1 and are an excellent food source.
Tips & Tricks
- Worms have high damage and HP for their level, so don't be afraid to take a few steps back and pelt them from afar if they're getting the better of you in melee.
- Poisoning a worm, then backing up while the poison works its magic, is one of the safer ways to deal with them.
- Since their walking speed is slower than that of most characters, simply backing off and poking them to death with a polearm will work wonders and leave you entirely unscathed.
