“The fool, as I think, at the chasm’s brink,
Prone by the swamp or the marsh’s side,
Did, even as I, in the end rejoice,
Since the voice of death must be His true voice.”
-Arthur Edward Waite, “At The End of Things”. 1906.

Useful Info

Swamp worms are quick-moving, amphibious predators which lurk submerged in deep and shallow water, attacking when you get too close. Their melee bite is nasty enough to be a threat to lightly-armored characters, and they can painfully drag distant foes into melee with their Harpoon Shot. They are common pests in the Swamp, and appear in a handful of other water themed vaults.

Tips & Tricks

  • Swamp worms are one of the least dangerous inhabitants of the Swamp. The biggest threat they pose is if they manage to pull you into a disadvantageous position while fighting bigger foes. The Swamp's layout makes it difficult to bottleneck opponents, so be aware of this threat, and don't simply button mash enemies while swamp worms are around.
  • Due to their low magic resistance, Hexes are very effective.

History

Prior to 0.21, they lacked a ranged attack.

Prior to 0.18, they were unable to leave the water and follow you. They could also submerge again if you walked away from them.
