How to spawn or find Overloading Magma Worm?

[solid.]

I viewed screenshots a few minutes ago and I saw a picture of an Overloading Magma Worm. How do I spawn or find this Overloading Magma Worm? It would help alot if you can help.

It's just a rarer spawn than the regular Magma Worm. The same goes for the variants of the other bosses.

Correct. They have a higher chance of spawning at higher stages, so when it's your 3rd or 4th run through (repeating instead of going to the final stage), they may spawn more often.

Hm, sometimes i find them as the teleporter boss for the first or second level during the second or third run through the levels. Trust me, they're arguably the strongest boss in the game if your movement isnt up to snuff, you cant camp on ropes or small platforms to deal with them as the Overloading Magma Worm will hurt you on touch, just like the Jellyfish would, which makes for a difficult fight as you'll be desperately searching for a safe (fighting) spot in the swarms of monsters.

Why i've seen them so many times i had one hell of a rant about them here at one point, so consider yourself lucky if you dont see him all that often. :P

Playing on monsoon will increase the chance of getting the variants of bosses as will playing a single run over 200 minutes and cycling through the levels.

Another way to make the game harder

[Mr. Fibble]

Back in beta you could edit one of the config files to make the difficulty scale faster with time so by 5 minutes in things were starting to go totally nuts. I found it via a screenshot showing a dozen vagrants in formation around the player with a mildly ironic title complaining about how hard the game was.

I cant remember which one it was sadly but it might have just been difficulty level under gameplay in prefs. Might be worth trying that if you're happy to backup the files and whatnot before you start messing about.

It's possible someone else here recalls what it was and can shed more light.

Wrong. the chances of meeting these bosses scale as your difficulty rises. you can stay in stage one all game, and at one point will basically meet nothing but these harder bosses like overloading magma worms, used to do just to farm gear.

Oh, so they come more often when the difficulty is harder, and the bosses themselves are harder to kill? Sounds like a challenge. By the way, I GOT MUNEY

[Mr. Fibble]

Except the chances of surviving in the first level for 200 minutes are less than if you cycle levels given the finite chest spawns unless you get the captains wheel.

Cycling levels also reduces potential for tedium to set in well before you see the higher grade variants.

By the way, after I looted all of the chests in area 1, can I move to the next level?

[Mr. Fibble]

The only thing that locks the next level is triggering the portal and killing everything on the map after that.

Looting chests is optional, that said I tend to grab chests and only try gamble shrines if cash is spare during the portal phase.
