Round Worm

Recognize it and read the attack

A pale upright worm that appears from the floor.

Periodically burrows, resurfaces elsewhere, and spits a blood shot if Isaac is in its line of sight.

What makes it dangerous

A cleared firing lane can become dangerous when the worm reappears.

A suggested response

  • Find its new position before standing still to shoot.
  • Sidestep the aimed projectile and attack while it is exposed.

Check the other enemies before committing to this response. Obstacles, your weapon and your character can change the safest angle.

The mistake to avoid

Continuing to aim only at the place where it disappeared.

Read the firing direction before crossing its lane.
