Disgusting Worms are big, mutated worm enemies found in the Toxic Sewers and the Ancient Sewers.

Behavior[]

Disgusting Worms move quickly once they spot the player and will bite them in melee. When killed, they drop six bombs which will then explode.

Moveset[]

Bite

  • Description: A short-ranged melee attack.
  • Can be blocked, parried, and dodge rolled.

Spite bombs

  • Description: Drops six explosives when killed which explodes in a random sequence.
  • The bombs can be repelled before they explode.
  • The explosions can be blocked or parried.

Strategy[]

  • Generally, staying out of its range then attacking it is a valid option, as their melee attack has very short range. This attack has a tricky timing to parry, with some delay, so try not to parry it too early.
  • Disgusting Worms have an ability to jump over small horizontal gaps to reach the player, after a long delay, so beware that this does not catch you off-guard.
  • The dash ability of the Assault Shield, Armadillopack, Magnetic Grenade and Wave of Denial can reflect all the bombs instantly. Tornado will also reflect all bombs it passes over.
  • Beware killing a Disgusting Worm near a ledge (or letting it die of damage-over-time effects). The bombs have some horizontal spread when they spawn, so can fall down cliffs and then explode.
