Possible Carthus Sandworm bug?

[vi]

Short version: CS doesn't spawn anymore, but he has never been killed.

Story time: I was playing on my mage character, passed Sandworm and went to the bonfire behind him, near Old Demon King bossroom. I shut down Evelyn, went through about four different locations, then went back to kill Old Demon King, but the Sandworm did never come out of the ground again. I tried to trigger him, coming to him from all the different angles and bonfires, but he just doesn't want to "spawn". And no, Evelyn did not kill him, because the only time I saw him on this character was when I ran next to him. I wanted to reinforce my Estus to the highest level and get the achiev, but because of him dissapearing it is not possible. Does anyone have the same problem or solution?

Just a stab in the dark here, but maybe he'll reappear if you turn on the ballista again?

Still nothing unfortunately..
I wonder if this is this versions bug or if I somehow bugged him into wall or something

You can just get the achievement by going to NG+ and picking up the nearest shard. :)

Didnt think of that :D Thanks, will do. However if this bug is somewhat common, the devs need to know about it.

The weird thing is, if the worm somehow fell through the world (which wouldn't be weird, lots of creatures do it in this game), it should've died and you should've received the shard automatically. If you didn't get it, it means the worm is still alive somewhere *0*

Can the worm ever get killed by the ballista?

Yeah, Ive done it once, with a different character. It deals pretty decent damage, unlike most of the players when they get there.

Yes, that is how I usually kill it.

The sleeping dragons at Lothric castle actually glitch through the walls if you hit their feet across the bridge where they start breathing fire. I managed to glitch them through the walls and I think they died after a bit on their own. It's not impossible this happened to the worm, although I don't know how physics based its body is or how it's interacting with the world.

But like I said, if the worm did clip (and died, as it would), op should've gotten the shard and the miracle; they're added automagically to the inventory, aren't they?

I'm gonna find out with my new character tomorrow. BTW I've searched the whole area of his whereabouts, haven't found any loot.
