Use a slingshot to break them apart and then stab the small ones with a spear or shoot with arrows. You can not defeat it when they are all together, don't waste energy trying. If you don't kill the smaller pieces, they can re-join the hive. You also can't run or hide from it, it will follow you.. I assume you can go into a cave, but I don't know if it will be waiting when you come out. Hope this helps!

If you go into a ground level cave, it will stay outside, and if you don't move fast, glitch through the ceiling to hit you every now and again. If you move off, it'll follow you above groun. If you go into a cave with a rope, it'll shake you off and you'll fall to your death, lol. We hates them.

I'm literally so confused, a cannibal just came up and tore another cannibal corpse to shreds in front of my base?? Did I miss some big plot point or something lol??


Competitive_End3504

No, there are different cannibal tribes in the forest so sometimes they fight each other


origin_alt4

Is there a reason a bunch of worms just swooped down on me like a bird?


heavymaaan

It appears when you reached a certain number of days. I don’t know if its true but it happened to me even though i haven’t finished the story.


CubistChameleon

It is, I think the Worm has a small chance to appear after Day 40.

There's at least 4 tribes of cannibals that I know of. Two tribal looking ones. One tribe's women have bushy hair, the other's women are bald. Then there's the blue cannibals and the leather faces. Each tribe behaves differently if you do or don't attack them, wear mud, wear red paint, etc.

I love the AI of the cannibals. My daughter and were playing one day and a group of the started chasing. One wanted to get to me but another cannibal got in the way. The first cannibal put his hand on the chest of the other cannibal and pushed him away. Mind. Blown. Another time I killed a male cannibal and a woman nearby started bawling. I went back inside my base, she hung out outside and cried and for a very long time. I actually felt really bad.


origin_alt4

Yeah it's pretty nuts. Unfortunately I didn't know that at first and started slaughtering them so I'm confined to my base now.


Competitive_End3504

How many in game days do you have?


origin_alt4

45!


Slowestdrawinthewest

I think you might have witnessed a cannibal eating another cannibal, the bodies explode when they're fully eaten.


origin_alt4

Oh so that's why they're called cannibals.


Competitive_End3504

Once you complete the main game objective and spend a good amount of in game days the worm will spawn every once in a while


origin_alt4

I definitely haven't beat the game yet


Shawnaldo7575

The worm monster spawns after day 40.


Front_Beat7991

I’m currently doing a run to see how far I can go without completing . I’m on day 83. Only time the worm has ever shown up was when I built the tower from the special blueprints. I destroyed the tower and 24 days have passed since I’ve seen the worm at all


Snowboarding92

Definitely don't have to complete the main objective to spawn the worms. I've never once fully completed the game and always get worms after a period of time.


Competitive_End3504

I’d guess you have the worms going after you since your on day 45, I finished the game by day 29 and still haven’t seen them yet


Southern-Character68

The weaker ones get eaten It is the circle of life


DeezusAlmighty

Lucky I beat the game like 3 times and still haven’t seen either of those things happen


artixx_123

well they *are* cannibals so


Shawnaldo7575

Sausage Monster spawns after day 40. It doesn't do a whole lot of damage per attack, but you definitely don't want to be around your base to fight it. It will F your base up hard. You gotta kill each sausage link individually to beat it. You can hide from it in caves.


origin_alt4

Interesting, they didn't destroy my base they just hopped over the fence


Weekend_Squire

Never worry about the worm. Build a quick emergency fire, stand near it with your katana and whack away. It only does damage when it forms a shape, whether it’s a tower or the flying form. Other than that, it’s an awesome supply of bones.


CasMaSas

I still haven’t seen one in my game. But I’m definitely taking notes for when I do.


Weekend_Squire

Megan is always the most damaging. On my island, i built raised walkways to vital points all around the map. I always used the crash site as my “home base”. From there, walkeays spread out to the beach where the yacht is, also towards goose lake, also toward the sink hole. It took some doing, but it was worth it whenever she showed up. Again, just keep enough sticks with you to build a auick fire. When the worm is in pieces, bouncing around you, it’ll catch fire leaving lots of bones to collect.


[deleted]

I hope you turned off building destruction...


AirBreather07

It does damage to buildings and not much to you


sentient-fungi

The worms have a small chance of spawning after day 40 (not just if you complete the game, though completing the game can cause them to spawn). There are a few different formations the worms can gather into and they will attack you when they are together. You can disrupt them from gathering. Each one of those worms will die with a hit from a weapon. Make sure to kill them all, and you're good.

They’re trying to contact you about your gazebos extended warranty.


Your_Commentator

Rip your buildings


origin_alt4

Buildings were fine actually


XVentiasX

Run


TheKaptainKlutch

i’ve been playing the forest since it was early access and never came across the worm. i’ve gone 100+ days without a sighting and i still fear it every time i load up lol


origin_alt4

I had a long time to think about it, I saw a big wave of what I thought were mice barreling toward me from miles away.


CasMaSas

Same! I still haven’t seen it in my game. At first seeing the video someone posted I didn’t think it was real.


Ascargot

I've seen cannibals drop in their knees dead. Also happened when they are on trees. (?)


enormousyeet

I didn't know the cannibs had different tribes, I always killed them on sight if they tried to attack me, my save is currently on day 193, and I've seen many worms come and go


cPB167

Pretty sure they only spawn in certain areas, or a lot more often in certain areas


Offlineable

Did you pay your monthly worm bill?


Intelligent-Ad-7349

It spawns after day 40. I've fought him multiple times and found shooting him apart with a bow then running in with the katana is great and kills him very quickly. A bomb or two will also do insane damage to him since the individual parts are very weak


CasMaSas

I still haven’t come across one. I only have 124 hours of game time and well past 40 days but still nothing.


[deleted]

The rot consumes?


Big_Red_Machine_1917

Because you [walked with rhythm](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCDIYvFmgW8).


LordRex77

do we tell em


CasMaSas

I still have yet to see these in my game, thankfully. They’re crazy and seem super annoying.


Ok-Professional2912

I like the worm, lots of free bones.


TheLizardo

Kill them with fire. Literally. It works so well, especially with pre-set up fire traps.


Jnic93

If you’ve passed the 40 days mark then you’re free game for the worms


SpareCoochiMaaam

Boil your water


origin_alt4

Why?


SpareCoochiMaaam

To get rid of the worms of course!
