Talk:Depths Worm/@comment-6328541-20140118212004

Okey, these are the most difficult mobs to beat in the game, also they spawn very often like hounds do.

So I was thinking if we can come up with the ultimate way to deal with Deapth Worm waves.

They deal massive damage, so tank and spank is not the best strategy unless you are fighting one at a time.

I was trying having a Rock Lobster get their attention, but most of the time only half a pack starts attacking him and the rest keeps chasing me, but it is always something

They cannot be frozen.

Can they be put to sleep?

Can they get set on fire?

Do they keep attacking you if something else attacks them (pigs, bunnymen, beemines)

I was playing with some gunpowder / slime to see if you can destroy them with an explosion, it seems to be the best option.

My best idea is if we bring 2-3 Rock Lobsters that attack them and tank them, then put down 10-15 gunpowders / slimes, a little spread out around the rock lobsters (rock lobsters take 95% less damage while camoflaged, so they won't die from silly explosions!) and then light the fuse and laugh : )

The only issue with explosions is that the worms crawl around underground so they don't take any damage if they aren't surfaced, but lots of explosives spread out deal damage over time. 5 explosions kill a worm.
