How to Beat The Devourer

Tips on Beating The Devourer


Hit its Head While Standing Away from the Tail

The Devourer Tail
The Devourer will continuously switch its location by burrowing around the field. Always reposition and aim for the head to deal damage to the Devourer. Be wary of its tail area as it can slam you for massive damage!

Watch Out for its Vomit

The Devourer Vomit Attack
The Devourer periodically vomits a green liquid that stays on the ground for some time. Walking on the affected ground can incrementally decrease your health.

Defeat Fresh Larvae

The Devourer  Fresh Larva
Fresh Larvae spawn during the fight with The Devourer. Though the Larvae themselves cannot kill you immediately, they can deplete your health just enough for The Devourer to one-shot you.
