Super annoying Ice Worm

[Primarch Alves]

I can't explore the Spires because of this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ worm! It literaly appears under me every 10 seconds and i can barely move... Thumpers just give me around a minute until the worm just pops under me again.... it's just annoying because i can't explore the biome, even with the snowfox the worm still appears under me and noc me off! Anyone knows how to deal with?? or how to just disable it?

Use the prawn suit. It never attacks while you are in it.

How do i get with the prawn there?? I use the snowfox boost to jump the cliffs and get to the Spires entrance

It's possible, just go around the long way without jumping cliffs.

You can drive the prawn all the way to the basin and jump up onto the walkway with jump jets, then just walk to the spires over the bridge.

Oof, I wish I thought of that before I had to use Console Commands for the first time in-game; I try avoid them otherwise but this got too obnoxious while I was looking for Purple Tablet fragments . I could've turned off Ice Worm hunting mode but that would be way too easy, so instead I had to spawn more Thumpers, one after another to replace the one that could no longer distract the Ice Worm (not sure if it got destroyed in the end). I kept doing that until I found everything I needed to find and left the area.
Before I used the Console Commands, I did find the Thumper blueprint and crafted one legitimately, used it, but it was then to no use when it was only a temporary distraction. At first I thought a four-slot item that is there to literally help you survive an unkillable land leviathan was more permanent, but then after that reveal I thought "did they expect us to craft a bunch more Thumpers to fill our inventory space just so we can explore this big area without Ice Worm attacks??". Therefore my use of Console Commands felt more fair and reasonable in that situation.

So yeah, if I need to return to the Spires I'll be sure to bring my Prawn Suit. Thanks.

Are you playing the main or experimental builds?

In experimental I was actually disappointed at how easy it was to avoid the worm even on foot.

The Prawn suit does make life easier, although there is a bit of an incentive to "accidentally" knock out an over-agressive Stalker or two.

I'm in main build. Not sure if I want to go experimental in case that will affect my save (even if I start in a new save slot) and if it will be so buggy it'll break the game. I have never played experimental builds before.

Oh, no problem with the Snow Stalkers, I kill them anyway with my Stasis Rifle+Thermoblade combo if they get in my way or start pouncing me.
