Talk:Staff of the Mechworm

"The Mechworm is very useful for farming, with high level summons being more than capable of taking on any pre-Devourer boss with the exception of Providence, the Profaned God as it will struggle to keep pace with Providence." On Normal, with 6 segments, I barely managed to attack the DoG, the mechworm was literally ripping it piece by piece from its rear end. So I'm not sure if that fits

Did you even read what the text said? "The Mechworm is very useful for FARMING, with high level summons being more than capable of taking on any PRE-devourer boss" Minecat (talk) 09:06, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Bugs

There is currently a bug which can cause the mech worm summon to always be summoned regardless of being dead or even closing your world and restarting, this results in always having a summon slot occupied.
There is another which causes another player in your world to be constantly pursued by a fake version of the worm.

Are you wearing the God Slayer armor? The armor set bonus summons one mechworm, which shouldn't take any minion slots. Willowmaine (talk) 02:47, 7 September 2018 (UTC)

Profaned Soul Artifact

"If minion slots are lost in any form, such as getting struck while the Profaned Soul Artifact is equipped and the Offensive Guardian is active, then the entire mechworm will disappear."

Am I right in saying that the minion slot provided by the offensive guardian is not lost on taking a hit, as per its own wiki page?

Fixed the section regarding the PSA, that was an issue fixed with the 1.4.3.001 update. Losing minion slots will still despawn the mechworm and/or reduce it to 1 segment due to the godslayer and auric tesla summoner armor sets. Merkalto (talk) 16:38, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
