Sandworm caves have to go

[EasyZardozIt]

The one thing about this game that makes me rage quit is the stupid sandworm caves collapsing on my head, or having to pass for 50 turns in a row waiting for the sandworms to dig me a tunnel in the direction I need to go. This isn't challenging. It isn't interesting. It is just tedious. GET RID OF IT.

[DStar7]

No! they are fun

[EasyZardozIt]

Counterpoint: I disagree.

[Bozobub]

It's such a small part of the total game and so unique (and actually, so skippable, if you really want to, AFAIK), that I just don't get the angst. Not poking fun at all.

[Fishyflakes]

The level is such a meme though.
And it lets certain builds and teleportation items have a use xDDD

I died from suffocation the first time I entered the Sandworm Lair. Every time since, I have escape with the sandworm's heart.

Good levels.

Daikara is worse if you wanna pick a T1

Stone throwers can really make you eat salt

Maybe it's just me, I feel some sort of ASMR in this level. Just chill and follow the worm. It'll absorb any kind of non bouncing projectile attack. Melee oriented NPCs also have to wait until the worm is no longer in their path. A lot of chests for fishing randarts, which is good for the next horrible stonelightningfirebreathfest that is Daikara. Not really a bad level if one has means of escape.

In sandworm u can get t5 orange items (at ~20lvl !!!). That's totaly worth to wait 50-100turns with Rest button.

Btw in sandworm lair u can fight around worms: using them as meat shield is really fun. Or u can kill enemis with sand. Pretty fun. My favorite tactic here: it's using track and then Vimsense. U'll get aggro in 22-30radius. All enmies in this radius will hunted you! Most of themm will die in sands :p

Yeah sandworm lair is a really tedious area.

[Gui]

Never had too much problem with it, original, loot rich and I think you can wait the Queen if you don't wanna explore.

Not all dungeons must be "traditionally designed".
Dungeon like sand worm lair give a fresh feeling in game play.

Not everything design for everyone too.
Doesn't mean 1 minor downside mean I have to give up the game.

[Huzzy]

There are only like two handfuls of dungeons that you can't skip to win the game, and the Sandworm Lair is not one of them.

The Heart of the Queen is reasonably skippable too, while the Wyrm Bile that is much more important is pretty easy to get.

[Berenthas]

If you skip the heart you won't be able to get the bile.
Back up guardians don't spawn if you havent killed the original boss

Well my argument is dead then.

My new argument is: if you can't take resting for 50 turns every now and then you might be playing the wrong game.

Or make sure you have the ability to dig your own tunnels.
