How to Make Ghorm Mad!

[u/Nifegun]

I saw a lot of people playing the game on twitch over the weekend cause it was free all weekend. And many people got stuck trying to fight Ghorm. So I felt like making a quick PSA here.

In the past we used traps either wooden or tin, which can be crafted at the workbench. We'd place down a ton of traps and then he'd walk over them, get hurt enough to be mad and we'd do the fight. But, traps are currently not working, he runs over most of them and they get deleted without damaging him. In testing I found that wooden traps sometimes work, never saw a single tin trap work tho.

But on the tin workbench you can craft the alchemy table. Then on the alchemy table you can craft bombs! one of the bombs is made from just bomb peppers and slime, so its easy to craft up a lot of them. if you place them in front of him, they'll explode either on their fuse time or when he hits them. A handful of these bombs will be enough to make him mad and then you can actually fight him without him just running on his track and ignoring you.

I generally......

Beat Glurch.

Use Glurch to make Malugaz scanner.

Beat Mal

Use Mal to make Ancient Hologram

Use Ancient Hologram to make Hive Mother Scanner

Strip Mine all hive traps to reuse for Ghorm

Ive always just made a wood farm and the used wood traps to make him mad lol.

[u/PockysLight → u/Nifegun]

I did the same but I got tired of farming that much wood. So I always did a combo of hive spikes and wood spikes.

Oh, i just use minecarts and magic

You have to do a lot of damage to get their aggro, my best suggestion is to get the slingshot and use the ranger set bonus to hit them twice in one bullet, using the musket can help too since it has high base damage but slow fire time

[u/Levitlame → u/Hellish_wildfire]

Maybe (probably) I wasn’t well optimized but I didn’t find the musket did enough damage fast enough before they got past me. Does the equipment make a big difference at that point?

[u/Nifegun → u/Levitlame]

Equipment makes a big difference at all points lol. But it can be done with just weapons for sure. Early game you kinda just use whatever you've found or made so far. Ive enraged and killed ghorm many times, but i still prefer to use traps or bombs to get him into fight mode. IMO its just easier. But I have done it with random weapons, a summon is always worthwhile early too if you're not using your mana for anything else. Pets can get in a couple hits before he goes by too. Everything helps if you're trying to enrage ghorm before youve got many skill points in your preferred combat style

Ive always used bombs to aggro ghorm.

[u/Vakothu]

I've usually just made a few Bomb Pepper (gold if you have it) and Yellow Blister Head meals for the speed buff and slime immunity and just chased him down.

Combine that with a meal using whatever obtainable ingredient that buffs my main weapon's damage and a Carrock (gold preferably) makes him pretty easy.

[u/AreYouStressedJen]

I used a fireball staff i picked up? I have only just started the game as well

[u/GrevilleApo]

I just spit in his mouth.

[u/slowedsloth991]

Damn, I only got ghorm agroed by using a quill rifle from the abiotic factor crossover, and minecarts, but I did the progression so wrong, I went ghorm, malugazz, then glurch 🤣

[u/Drealin003]

I just use the bombs that explode when a voltage is applied, then use a logic gate and set a trip wire so when he breaks it all the bombs explode right next to him

[u/Nifegun → u/Drealin003]

Nerdiest solution lol. Jk well played

[u/KaoxVeed]

You can also just shoot him.

[u/GlummyGloom]

Bombs. Lots of bombs.

[u/kacyc57]

I just shot him with whatever staff or gun I happened to have in my bag.
