Wormface | Elden Ring Wiki

Any lore reason behind why are they holy resistant?

Submit

instakill status enemy in a tight space my beloved

Submit

Fun fact: you can't get grabbed while on torrent, you can safely attack it while it spams the same janky animation over and over!

Submit

did you know that the worms on wormface face are real giant worms that buried them selves into wormface face. now try to sleep with out having nightmares about worms digging into your face.

Submit

It was so satisfying killing Wormface by using Spinning Wheel on her head

Submit

not a body horror game, not at all *throws up*

Submit

What is it with Miyazaki and making you fight terrifying abominations of nature in melee combat

Submit

Fun fact: the name "Worm Face" was also used for an enemy from the Shadow Tower games, also developed by From Software.

Could be a reference, but then again the wormface from ER looks way different from the older one.

Submit

The real bossfight here is the framerate

Submit

if it kills you with the grab attack, it swallows you whole and then the camera zooms in on its bare feet. miyazaki must have personally designed this one...

Submit

Godslayer at +10, start combo behind him and its dead in few seconds. Basically sooner than your death counter fills up.

I suggest clearing everything around first tho. One in Alteus I mean.

Apart that, they do not like headshots from Golems Greatbow. Probably can even one shot them, if you got high enough upgrades or stats. Also they tend to line up nicely so its possible to get two in one shot as Golems Greatbow default ash of war is piercing attack.

Submit

The lesser version face is super weak to fire, they scream and hug their face when i throw fire boom at their face. Idk about the boss version since it really hard to throw a fire boom into their face when they are so tall.

Submit

Apparently the bigger ones are female, because compared to what the smaller wormfaces wear, her outfit is fancier, cleaner and has lace on it. So a matriarchal society like Demihuman huh?

Submit

Who doesn't like getting hugged by these aberrations of nature? Because I sure love being teleported into their arms even though I'm clearly out of their range.

Submit

does the one in Atlus Plateau lock out player summons after it’s slain?

Submit

when they eat you, your runes don’t drop on the ground, they drop inside of them… adios 90k in azula

Submit

Hear me out.

Submit

I don't know why the death hunters like D focus on the shitty little skeletons and mariners as the primary target of their ire when these things exist.

Submit

My experience vs the Farum Azula wormface: Was wearing Cleanrot Armor (bad vitality like most armors) up to this point, but kept dying to death (so to speak) vs this trio, then I carefully lured out the two lesser wormfaces (with Kunai) and killed them, then put on my best Vitality clothing and started to fight the big Wormface, and then died to... physical damage (got stepped on and then grabbed and eaten). I'm mad about it!!! But I'm coping.

Submit

These guys, winter lanterns, and wretches are best friends.

Submit

horror game

Submit

odd that some of the most unholy creatures in the game are resistant to holy damage

Submit

sneaky poison cheese dat rump for no violating tentacle action

Submit

Fromsoft is amazing at making monsters. Everytime I need to get my last larval tear from the colossal, I shiver a bit.

Submit

It’s name sounds like an insult.

Submit

You can cheese this boss. Sneak behind him and throw poison mist. He will not wake up. Do that a few times while having a coffee break and he is dead.

Submit

devs should copy the vore move and give it to malenia in a future patch

Submit

this might be the creepiest boss in the game

Submit

all i had to do was wack the feet a few times and strafe right around the boss. for some reason i only stood in death fog for a few seconds max the entire fight. probably had to do with the boss moving away from the fog. would recommend

Submit

Of course the evil worm infested black skinned zombie monsters that inflict deathblight are holy-resistant :/

Submit

There's a Wormface near the Mt Gelmir minor erdtree, except that sometimes it's not there. I can't find any rhyme or reason as to when it spawns, can anyone confirm/offer an explanation?

Submit

My least favorite enemy in any fromsoft game. I'd rather fight 5 pus of men at once than a single one of these things.
It's not that they're particularly hard to kill, the noises they produce make my skin crawl. Plus, their ****ing faces! I once killed a big one, and when it fell, its face went right in front of the camera. I've played these games for a long time, but this was the one moment I was ever truly jumpscared.

Submit

Man I love OHK attacks

Submit

Honestly because I'm such a collection freak I need to know. The smaller worm face mobs carry a weapon. Is this weapon something that they will drop?

Submit

Do we have any lore at all for these guys? What they are, why they're like that, etc. Did From just forget to include any at all for them? Extremely interesting creatures, Altus Plateau which is the 2nd brightest area in the game and then we have these abominations around a minor Erdtree, which are supposed to be sacred. Nothing at all?

Submit

fire O, fire,
praise the explosion
(extreme repentance)

Submit

bloodborne called, they want their eldritch horror back

Submit

what I hate/love is they still seem perfectly sentient, like you hear them talking to each other and some seem to be mourning at various gravesites

Submit

And of course it has a disgusting grab attack. Of course it does. It wouldn't be a Souls game without a large, disgusting abomination trying to defile you.

Submit

the most creepy/disgusting enemy in the whole game jesus

Submit

Just don't bother with this thing or it's smaller versions, it drops paltry amount of souls and it's poo. overall a disgusting and pointless experience

Submit

Blasphemous Blade special ash melts these guys in one shot.

Submit

God these guys are creepy. Got shivers down my spine whenever they tried to grab me over and over

Submit

For melee users, just do it on horseback. Turns it into a cakewalk.

Submit

terrible, horrible, awful, horrifying, please no

Submit

Scarlet rot for the easy W

Submit

Killed him in a few hits while two-handed wielding giant-killer with sanctified ash of war. He was basically staggered the entire time. I didn’t even get to see any of his animations.

Submit

The currently listed resistances are either wrong or outdated. The Wormface at the minor erdtree in the altus plateau took 6 light hits to bleed from a weapon with a bleed buildup of 61, meaning it has a bleed resistance of 300+, twice as much as is listed. It took me 5 hits to inflict frostbite at 80 buildup, implying a resistance of 320+; again, twice as much as currently listed. And it took 5 hits at poison buildup 83 to inflict poison, so again, at least twice what is listed. I don't currently have a weapon that inflicts scarlet rot, but I doubt the results would differ from what I already found. Please update this page when possible. Thank you! :)

Submit

She's extremely scary but I cheesed her by killing her 3 guardians and sneaking up to poison mist proc every time the status runs out, what can I say? She kills me in 1 hit :(

Submit

Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope

Submit

I’ve noticed that when using Flame of the Redmanes with a +17 Flame Art Uchiganta, Wormface takes barely any damage on the first shot, and gets staggered and loses almost half of its health on the second. Not sure if this is a glitch, but it made fighting this boss REALLY easy, as he dies in about 5 shots from Flame of the Redmanes. Using the Mimic Tear summon allowed me to use multiple FotR bursts so he went down even faster.

Submit

Pure bullshit at it's finest. Honestly now I think Malenia isn't so bad after all after facing that goddamn face roll attack so many times

Submit

What the actual hell is this? How came this to be? Why do they wear clothes? Why are they attacking us?

Submit

Why are these strong against Holy damage if they're part of the undead group of enemies that gets shredded by Holy damage?

Submit

There is also a Wormface in Crumbling Farum Azula, guarding the Glovewort Picker's Bell Bearing [3].

Submit

I hate how creepy and fast these things are. First time I saw this thing running mach speed at me I nearly **** my pants

Submit

i succesfully dodged 4 grabs in a row just for him to pull a 5th grab and kill me instantly from full health. best boss in game

Submit

Thank you Zullie for showing me an up-close angle of their face. Now I can sleep slightly less better at night.

Submit

Not even a hard boss since it has like 3 attacks, but damn does it leave an impression

Submit

D'aaaaaawwwww

Submit

The glitchy vore animation is kinda scary, whenever it actually swallows you when you die if you don’t land where it’s mouth is in the animation and end up floating on the side you see the tarnished’ body crushed and contorted into a ball to mimic what your character should look like when it is swallowed by this monstrosity.

Submit

Death's Poker's Ash, Ghostflame Ignition (coolest name in the game btw) works incredibly well against these. You can just keep hitting L2 and the ghostflame will stunlock them and quickly drain their life. Or you can just use it once, and then use a heavy attack and the ghostflame explosion will do huge damage. Though I'd recommend just hitting L2 multiple times so you can stunlock it and not get any deathblight.

Submit

Theres this naked one near volcano manors erdtree. On the way down to kill the ulcerated tree spirit, he was NOT there I swear...but after I killed it (the tree spirit), I reloaded the area and went back down to where the tree spirit was and got VORED by a completely naked, VERY FAST, different moveset wormface.
Idk if it was rare but ive never managed to see him again, and he was enormous wth lol

Submit

he just needs some cough syrup

Submit

This is a fight you don’t want to summon Mimic for. Unless you want it to run into the death cloud and die instantly.

Submit

Yay, more of the Dark Souls trademark "grab attacks that ignore iframes, poise, everything else and also interrupt all kinds of attack" xD

Submit

With these guys you either succumb to vore galore or death blight wrecks your life

Submit

Hilarious that once again, a boss is highly resistant to holy damage. Even though it inflicts death blight which usually means Golden Order spells might finally be useful… 40% mitigation! Why do they do this???

Submit

Anyone know where the summoning effigy for the one in Altus Plateau is?

Submit

during the deathblight death animation you can actually be grabbed out of it, dunno if it prevents deathblight from killing you though since i died to le grab

Submit

why is it resistant to holy???? Doesn't make sense

Submit

A note here, this boss can kill your Mimic Tear with Death Blight easily...

Submit

My spirit ash (Oleg+8) basically soloed this guy. I just occasionally cast charged Night Maiden's Mist to help out. Rest of the fight I was crouched in Unseen Form. Boss never managed to land an attack on me due to me ducking behind walls and he could barely detect me anyway. Spirit was on 80% HP by the time this thing died.

Submit

wormface try not to grab or spam deathblight challenge (impossible)

Submit

I think it’s the creepiest enemy in the game, when it’s a bit dark and you’re creeping through the ruins and you just see large tall hooded figures looming over with worm faces that will spit at you which easily kills you

Submit

worm face is so pawggy woggy

Submit

But why is he so fast? He doesn't look like he'd be able to move like that.

Submit

There's also one at Farum Azula and Mt. Gelmir (near the Road of Iniquity)

Submit

Be careful fighting ranged. This guy is deceptively fast and will full sprint on you. Keep moving.

Submit

There is one on Mt.Gelmir before the ulcerated tree spirit. I have no clue why no one brings up this one nor why its not in the wiki yet. Does this one go by a different name?

Submit

Grab does like 50% with medium armor and 35 vigor. I think people don't know that you can escape the throw and think it's a one shot.

Submit

BEWARE: Killed it with arrows from the floating platform and it did not drop the tears loot, only got runes

Submit

I died at the same time as "Wormface" yet I was still able to claim the rewards through a button prompt while I were in the "You Died" screen. Not sure about the runes, sorry.

Ultra Obvious, but I recommend NOT going there at night, the death blight will be hard to see and you'll be prone for an ambush. I think the other loons out in the woods are patroling or somehow notice when you start the fight (who wouldn't). Better clear out some before to make sure. Just as most things flesh/fur they're weak to Fire.

Submit

If you have a faith build the Flame of Frenzy destroys these guys.

Submit

Players with emetophobia, beware these dastards. Highly recommend fighting them muted, as they make horrendous vomiting sounds... ugh.

If you are worried, they're quite contained in their areas, thankfully. Main areas with them are the forest of Altus Plateau (where the Minor Erdtree is) and an optional area of Farum Azula. Other than that, there is a single jumpscare one in Mt. Gelmir west of the dead Minor Erdtree that's disguised as a burning corpse enemy. It only spawns if the thing dies (but it blows itself up, so be wary).

Submit

Wolves Ash summons +7 and all I had to do was ride by and whack him once every few seconds. Never got hit or grabbed or puked on. This boss just looks like it will be a pain but it's a pushover by the time the average casual player gets here.

Submit

That death blight spit attack is crazy, he spat it at me once and I got death blighted instantly...

Submit

very underwhelming i cheesed him to death with the fingerprint shield

Submit

janky ass fight... janky ass hitbox. Seriously, camera doesn't lock on to legs nor the head. it locks on to the damn body. Entire fight, you have no idea wtf is going on and not even proper sound cues like the fire giant to circumvent any of the camera problems.

Submit

For those wondering: he can use the ranged attack of the Lesser Wormfaces; fought him with Loretta's Greatbow and used the ruins and roots for cover and Avionette Soldier Ashes for the fire damage, not difficult at all if you can avoid the death blight.

Submit

These fellas seem pitiful. "Cursed existence" type ****.

Submit

The one in Crumbling Farum Azula that guards the Glovewort Bell drops 6812 souls and no items.

Submit

Bosses get lame when they are this big, you just can't see crap of what they're doing. I thought they realized that after Giant Lord but apparently not.

Submit

Spirit Ash summons appear to be immune to deathblight. Wolf pack trivialized this fight.

Submit

Anyone knows if Farum Azula version has something interesting?

Submit

Drops:

10k Runes
Crimsonspill Crystal Tear
Speckled Hardtear

Submit

Found another, non-boss version of this guy in Mt.Gelmir, on the road between Volcano Manor and the destroyed Minor Erdtree. It's disguised as one of those flaming kamikaze zombies. Easy to ride past and miss at first and pretty damn alarming to look behind you after hearing the big boom only to see a 25 foot tall, death-blight spewing aberration appear out of the smoke.

Submit

gives 10k souls

Submit

Wow his grab kinda sucks. I was standing behind him and he grabbed me. One of the worst hit boxes for an attack I’ve seen in this game. Just spam him with holy spells or fire and he’ll go down easy, but that grab has a terrible hit box so watch out for it
