Alpha Deathworm — Detailed Guide
The Alpha Deathworm is the alpha form of the
Deathworm, the sand predator of Scorched Earth. It is much larger, glows red and has far more health, about 27,000 base. Like a normal Deathworm, it bursts out of the sand to chase anything in range.
Where to find it
Scorched Earth only, in the dunes and more often far from solid ground. Its red glow makes it easier to spot at night.
How to get one
You cannot. It is not tameable, rideable or breedable, and it is torpor immune.
Uses
- ASE loot: 20
Deathworm Horns, the
Alpha Deathworm Trophy and a
Manticore Helmet Skin. - ASA loot: a later patch changed it to guarantee 75
Black Pearls and a
Treasure Map.
Tips
It stays above ground longer than a normal Deathworm, which gives ranged attackers more time to hit it.
