i beat him mostly poke run around poke run around if you dodge the net that pops out every 10/15 secs its not so hard however i cried man tears at his drops all yellows QQ

Once you're character is powerfull enough with good equipment you can beat him easily. I have a pure arcanist than can kill him before the 3 second Mirror of Ereoctes runs out.

wow you guys gotta have a higher level than me... I have a level 17 soldier and that guy tears me a new one in like 3 hits...

I don't know if he still has the boss-leash (I tried this so many times, many patches ago so not sure if it's fixed) but you can cheese him by grabbing any gun or ranged spell and shooting him, then backing very far until he goes back to his spawn point. Rinse and repeat.

You can even do this, theoretically and if you're careful enough, as a level 1 but it will take FOREVER.

Gutworm can be beaten by low level characters, but as others have said it takes a long time. Once you get up into your 20s he goes down fairly quick. The exploit of sniping him then running away while he goes back to his starting point is true of most bosses in the game.
IMO this is one of the few faults the game has. If the bosses pursued you the game would be a lot more challenging..

okay that guy was tough.. but I got him... took a stack of health potions though

awesome game, I hope they finish it this year (I hope)

Only from distance, if not play easy or normal. My story: I was 24L vs Gutworm 31L. His single swing took 1700Health, so he ripped me in 3sec with mealee atack and regenarating his health. So I found a place to shoot him from above, its taken about 15minutes. There're nothing worth in chest or on his corpse!

Yup, Gutworm has craptastic loot. Not even worth the trouble. I haven't bothered with him in a very long time now..

Just ran into this guy for the first time on a new character.

Quite the challenge! GD needs more mini-bosses like this guy.... =D

Just wait till you get to Burrwitch village and encounter Gastris The Foul. My character is well built I think(shoot'n'run 2h forcewave soldier) and the Maneater felt easy for me, but this guy made me give up in 15 secs.

Rng is Rng i have alot decent loot and materials/blueprintsfrom G.W.

[DeMasked]

Gutworm is generally easy to find and only consists of him and his dungeon/chest which may explain the rng loot. He also can drop Ancient Hearts which is another reason to farm him.

The area outside caps at a low level as well unlike areas like Depraved Sanctuary where you have a large area to get through before getting to the mini boss later on (and they have higher scaling).

[Dogtown1]

yeah that depraved sanctuary has a boss that has me stumped now... dont know the name of that guy but I cant beat him yet

[dluttrell]

Salizar is the main boss in the depraved sanc .What level are you ? he doesnt scale above 39 .

[Dogtown1]

20 something.. I may be able to get him now, I left him alone and wandered off killin other stuff to beef up a bit
