Notes
Minor Erdtree (Altus Plateau)Erdtree. Minor Erdtree (Mt. Gelmir) (disguised as Burning Putrid Corpse). Crumbling Farum AzulaDungeon Stance: 80. Parryable: No Is vulnerable to a critical hit after being stance broken Damage: Standard, Strike Inflicts: Death Blight Negations (or Absorptions) Standard: 0 Slash: -10 Strike: 0 Pierce: 0 Magic: 0 Fire: 0 Lightning: 0 Holy: 40 The negation numbers are the of your damage that gets blocked. For example, if a negation is 60, 40 of that damage by that type will go through and 60 will be negated. Bigger number less damage. A negation of 100 means no damage goes through, and a negation of -100 mean the enemy takes 2x damage from that source. 0 means damage goes pretty much as is. Wormface Boss Guide Wormface Fight Strategy. The Best Tips for Wormface: Use the Lone Wolf Ashes Ash Summons Use The Flame of Frenzy Spell Use Order Healing and Law of Regression for curing Bring Prince of Death's Pustule or Prince of Death's Cyst Talismans Bring Immunizing Cured Meat consumable for Death Blight mitigation Bring Rejuvenating Boluses used solely to Alleviate death blight buildup Melee Users As a melee user you are susceptible to whenever it performs its mid ranged Death Blight attacks so you will have to be extra vigilant. When anticipating its spewing and cloud release. Try to have larger trees to your side to have something to duck behind. To quickly deplete its health as a melee user, as much as possible you can hug this creatures feat, but circle behind so it cant grab you and deal your series of attacks on its legs from behind. This creature has one of the more slower moving actions but its attacks deal great effects so be careful when running in. Run in between attacks and keep to its legs from behind so you are out of range to be affected by melee attacks as well. Keep focusing on hitting its legs until it is defeated. Bring extra talismans that can mitigate death blight for more aid and Rejuvenating Boluses to decrease buildup. Magic and Ranged Users Keeping at long range against this boss may invite it to also counter with its main long ranged Death Blight attack. Getting hit by this puke attack causes serious damage and serious Death Blight buildup. Since it is encountered in the open world, use large trees to your advantage to avoid its effects. At mid range, you can also still be affected by the cloud AoE it releases. This moves relatively slowly so back away as this approaches. At this range the wormface may also attempt to run at you. It isn't a very quick dash however it closes the distance very quickly and then will usually follow up with an attempt to grab. From here, circle away from its grasps, if you would like at this point, temporarily switch to melee to get some hits on its legs. Since it doesn't have the fastest actions, with ranged combat wait for its attacks to and and deal an attack of your own in between each completed action until its HP has depleted. Use Order Healing and Law of Regression for curing if available. Wormface Attacks & Counters Attack Description Counter Head Smash Slowly pulls its head back and brings it down to the ground for a head smash Roll during this action Head Sweep Performs one quick head smash then proceeds to sweep its head left and right while on the ground. Roll during this action or back away Death Blight Spew Spews a cloud of worm-riddled toxins that build up Death Blight. Can be performed in a combo. Use the obstacles in the environment to your advantage. Duck behind trees. Prepare to do so as soon as it pulls back its head in preparation for this action. Roll back as far as you can and keep backing away until you are sure it has stopped. Cloud Spews a slow moving damaging cloud with an AoE Back away and avoid the area of effect Run and Grab Wormface runs towards the player and closes any separation quickly before going in for a grab. Circle around him to avoid its arms and deal some hits to its legs from another angle Wormface The file names for the Wormfaces are Deracine Male for the small ones, and Deracine Female for the large ones. Deracine could come from a French word for uprooting trees, or it could mean displaced. Wormface Altus Plateau. Drops 10,000 Crimsonspill Crystal Tear Speckled Hardtear HP 5,876
