Is it possible to tame Deathworms in Ark Survival Evolved?
The Deathworm, featured in Ark Survival Ascended, is a predatory invertebrate renowned for its territorial behavior, roaming the desert map among endless sand dunes. This creature is not able to be domesticated, mounted, or reproduced within the game.
Strategies for Defeating the Deathworm in Ark Survival Ascended
Deathworms can be encountered patrolling the sandy ocean surrounding the Scorched Earth desert map, as previously stated. Furthermore, players also have the option to spawn this creature using the Ark Survival Ascended console commands.
A Deathworm’s attack may come as a surprise, often signaled by a disturbance in the sand. However, with proper preparations, such as taming a Thylacoleo, Rex, or Rock Elemental, defeating it can be a relatively simple task.
A Thylacoleo is highly sought after for its Bleed Effect and Agility, while a Rex is known for its unmatched DPS. On the other hand, a Rock Elemental is a formidable option with its resistance to all types of damage except for armor-piercing bullets and explosives, which can make the battle easier. Ultimately, the decision of which creature to use against a Deathworm is up to you, as all of them have proven to be effective.
When facing a Deathworm, it is important to remember the following tips:
- When burrowed, a Deathworm is unable to attack, making it possible for you to safely use a Thylacoleo to apply Bleed without being exposed to incoming damage.
- In addition, Deathworms possess an Alpha variant that is bigger and more powerful than their regular counterparts.
