Lesser Wormface | Elden Ring Wiki

I wish they never respawned

Submit

They are pretty freaky, but relatively docile. You can ride around near them without them reacting to you, and even when they do, they give up the chase pretty quickly.

Submit

Kill them. Kill them all...

Submit

There is a small but potent list of enemies in this game which are purely upsetting and unpleasant in every way shape and form, and this one is high up on it.

Submit

The way I see it, Sacrificial Twig is basically the Homeward bone equivalent for getting out of Boss Fights with your runes (before the Crystal tear that does that, but You can't swap if you respawned at a stake of marika) Since it's used for getting out of encounters and not just going back to grace at any point (we can just teleport) I understand that they're rarer than Bones but like cmon you get like 9 twigs in the whole game and you can only start farming them with a 2.5% drop on an annoying enemy at a point really close to when you can get the twig crystal tear.
I'm not sure anyone even uses them for this express purpose because you can always quit out. :^(

Submit

Worthless, diseased vermin. Exterminate their kind, leave no survivors. Burn their corpses to make sure they won't spread. Execute all who aid these unholy creatures and keep them out of our reach.

Submit

golden ****

Submit

**** the wormfaces

Submit

Their face weak to fire, i throw boom on their face and it catch fire and they got stagger.

Submit

Why do they spew out death blight??
Vaati?

Submit

Any enemy whose main form of attack involves spewing clouds of deathblight around them repeatedly, forcing you to run away and wait and wait and wait for the clouds to clear is automatically horrible and unfun to engage. I'd rather fight Giant Crows and Runebears. Why are these things even resistant to holy?

Submit

These guys sound like a toilet vomiting, and I assume they smell as bad as they sound.

Submit

Disgusting, spammy and annoying enemy. They deserve to be exterminated.

Submit

Honestly the most unsettling enemy I have encountered in over 20 years of gaming, including Cerberus from Dantes Inferno.

Submit

Why are these deathblight riddled walking corpses filled with maggots RESISTANT to holy? Aren't they totally undead, as they're influenced by Godwyn, the "PRINCE OF DEATH"? Thank you, Miyazaki, very cool.

Submit

Task: Kill the steroid-abusing lovechild of Cthulhu and a Basilisk.

Reward: Literal ****.

All in all a 10/10 From Soft experience, I'm not even mad.

Submit

The sounds they make are creepy in a good way. One of them sounded like it had the sniffles real bad.

Submit

Definitely have died to these things a couple of times particularly when I was surrounded with them. Their vomit has a very long reach as well.

I remember death blight completely crippling my mimic tear summon on a boss one so I had to kill it by myself for the most part.

Honestly I just hate fighting them plus they are pretty gross.

Submit

4075 hp in Farum Azula, tested with serpent arrows and a rot pot

Submit

Yeah yeah they're gross, but when can I have their big stick?

Submit

Field tested:
1300 - 1600HP in
Altus Plateau, took about 3 tics with Rotten Breath.

Submit

I like the part where they put 40 of these things in farum azula and told me to go **** myself. :thumbsup: :)

Submit

"lesser wormface" is a brutal insult

Submit

Spawn of Cthulhu lookin-ass nightmare fuel

Submit

These things aren't that hard,provided you take care to avoid their death blight vomit, but good god do they scare the **** out of me.

Submit

Someone really needs to include absorptions and resistances for "basic" enemies (or at least the ones that won't die in 3-4 hits from a standard weapon.) Often, I have to check the boss versions to get a general idea.

Submit

I hate these things, esp in groups . I dye to them more than any other creature in the woods. Rune bears you can make a run for it or scramble to get the upperhand. But these things suck. Instant Deathblight shots all the time. They make a frigging clouds of it. Makes the frog guys seem easy as u can dodge away. But the sounds they make and ability 2 1 shot you, very tanky= my new most hated. Remind if the dragon people in DS3.

Submit

Not the hardest enemy but certainly one of the most disturbing ones.

Submit

Nothing lesser about an enemy that literally spits Death.

Submit

Fire decimates these guys. One Giantsflame to the face stuns and almost one shots the ones in farum azula. I wish the wiki pages had resistance breakdown on normal mobs like there are bosses. I didn't see this listed anywhere.

Submit

im at a point where these guys dont give me too much trouble one on one, but the noises they make cause me to completely avoid them. that chorus of laughter when you're on or near the bridge in altus will never not disturb me

Submit

do the wormface sort of talk to themselves? I'm at writheblood ruins, I can hear something talking in a funny voice, I'm facing north east and right on the edge, I'm not making enough of it out to be able to understand what they are saying, its not the only place I've heard this chattering either.

Submit

it says here the "weak enemy" that turns into a wormface at mt gelmir is the lesser wormface, but I walked right into that trap, just like I did with that F**king rune bear or "leeser" rune bear or whatever in limgrave. I'm not 100% sure, but sure enough to put my money where my mouth is. there was nothing lesser about what that putrid corpse at mt gelmir turned into, it was a lot bigger than the lesser wormface you see around woodfolk ruins, it was the same size as the boss variant by the minor erdtree in altus plateau. when the putrid corpse turned, it was looming over me. I think its deathblight killed me faster than the lesser variation as well.

Submit

I dub thee 'Mr. Snuffleupagus' and look forward to collecting your gold tinged excrement.

Submit

****ing cheap enemy with stupid deathblight

Submit

Most of them in Altus will not attack you unless you invade their personal space. Even the ones hidden along the paths will allow you to walk on by. Farum Azula's are more likely to run you down.

Submit

The sound these things make sounds nothing like the ghasts from Minecraft, but it reminds me very strongly of them.

Submit

****ing dumb enemy, worst enemy in the game so far next to revenants

Submit

wow it looks like asmongold

Submit

Gnarly lookin enemies. The ones at atlus plateau erdtree are nightmare fuel. A bunch of em there.

Submit

I could be tripping but i killed one in mt gelmir and it dropped a larval tear.

Submit

The best strategy for those in Altus Plateau seems to be to use torrent to run away

Submit

Bruh it’s creepy that they talk if you close enough

Submit

Nasty

Submit

I think there's some misinformation here as immunizing Cured Meat only raises immunity. Vitality is the stat that increases resistance to deathblight.

Submit

This is the type of enemy that makes me love FromSoftware games. A ghoulish laughing monster laughing its ass off in front of a gravesite of some poor chap he killed. He goes back to the gravesite after buriel, sits down, laughs his ass off while mumbling random nothings.

Submit

Hard to target with spell because the targ point is so low on them. When they're not standing up you have to get right on top of them to target.

Submit

Whoever edits this, I was trying to farm some of the lesser wormfaces to see if they can drop their stick weapon, when they dropped a sacrificial twig. Looking at the drops, it seems no one documented this, but it could be really useful to know.

Submit

For some reason lightning spear can bring their health down from full all the way to ~1 but is unable to land a killing blow? Has anyone else experienced this?

Submit

These things seem to be nearly blind, so equipping the Crepus’ Vial talisman works wonders here. It’s not foolproof, but you can avoid quite a lot of aggro by using it.

Submit

They need to make the clouds these guys spew a lot more visible than they are. Just lost 200k runes because these obnoxious things shoot clouds of death blight everywhere and it's often pretty hard to see where it even is. Something that kills you that quickly if you're standing in it should be made a lot more visible I think.

Submit

Anyone else notice that their cloth wraps look like guardian armor? Anyway, wish you could get their weapon as a greatsword.

Submit

These guys are annoying. I mean, say what you want about Basilisks, but they are squishy, have short ranged and don't deal damage outside of their death clouds.

These horrible things are not only extremely annoying due to them constantly making slurping and coughing sounds, but they are also rather tanky, can hit somewhat hard in melee and cover half the area in death worms.

Submit

Just got killed by one of these with death blight. Can't get my 220k runes back as they are not at the marked location. PLEASE FIX

Submit

Not sure about the Altus variant but the azula ones seem to be wrapped in a tarnished gold wrappings and seem to have what look like medallions tucked along the wraps. It makes you curious their origin

Submit

They might be associated with the Man-snakes from the Volcano Manor, since they have similar body structures apart from the worm tentacles and there is a giant wormface close to the path that leads to Volcano Manor, and the region next to Volcano Manor (Altus Plateau) is the region that has most wormfaces. I wonder how they got to Farum Azula though, maybe through the teleporter traps like the one under Raya Lucaria that takes you to Volcano Manor

Submit

"Lesser Wormface may not be as large as Wormface itself but they can be found roaming around in groups around Crumbling Farum Azula."
Where does this quote come from?

Submit

They seem to be humanoids infected with some horrible disease

Submit

Elden Ring sure has a lot of poo-poo-themed stuff.

Submit

absolutely nobody:
Wormfaces: "hehehe.... bring the pain!"

Submit

These are some of the scariest enemies in the game. Not hard but just pure nightmare fuel. The noises they make are horrible and if you're ranged they eventually stand upright and run at you at full speed. Awful. 11/10

Submit

they noisy

Submit

These enemies seem to be crying. You can even find one specifically mourning over a grave and it has even placed a flower on top of it which you can pick. Would love to learn the lore behind them.

Submit

any weaknesses?

Submit

any weaknesses?

Submit

Wtf is the lore on these things? How did they come to exist?

Submit

These along with the beastmen immigrated from Yharnam's Forbidden Woods it seems.

Submit

The ones in altus that use a hood looks like a reference to the monster from the movie The Village from Shyamalan

Submit

After listening to them for forever, it sounds as though theyre saying "foul tarnished. Stop threatening me" interspersed with coughing and cackling.

Submit

I think those guy's audio is a bit buggy at the moment. You'll seem to hear their coughing at higher volume from way further away than any other enemy in the game, at least for me.

Submit

so there's a wormface...a very large wormface underneath volcano manor on the way to the erdtree. Turn right after spawning into the Road of Iniquity. He's concealed as a random weak pleb looking at a fire. When you kill the pleb, it literally transforms into the wormface boss lol. I ran away but when I went back afterwards to see if it was still there and it def was.

Submit

Not sure why it isn't stated here, but these things are also found in Altus Plateau, in the misty forest valley with the Minor Erdtree dead-center.

Submit

can you get their weapon as a drop? the little twig looking thing

Submit

They can drop Sacrificial Twigs. Very rare drop.

Submit

Ebrietas had kids.

Submit

These guys sound so frigging creepy.
