Encounter
To encounter the Eater of Worlds, the player must first defeat The Infinite Hunger. After doing so, you will be able to obtain a Screaming Invitation to allow access to the Absence of Symmetry and Harmony.
Afterwards, tradeable versions of the Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Screaming Invitation" can drop in any T14+ Map influenced by the Eater of Worlds after defeating the Infinite Hunger in a Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Writhing Invitation".
Tips
The moving orbs in the arena will inflict a debuff called "Drowning" with a 3 second timer when the player touches them. Failing to move away from the orb to remove debuff will cause the player to die after 3 seconds. The orbs will move towards the player while the character is facing away, and move away if facing towards the orbs.
Attacks and Spells
- Basic attack - tentacles are spawned under the player.
- Sphere Slam - "Hunger!" - teleports to the player's location and channels a large sphere around itself for ~2 seconds, before delivering a slam around itself. The boss often repeats the spell one more time. Very high damage.
- Tentacles Slam - "Writhing mass!" - after a delay, summons a set of tentacles that slam in a direction. Medium damage.
- Lightning Beam - "Perish!" - channels for ~1 second, then fires a Shocking beam. Somewhat easily sidestepped. High damage.
- Doom Phase - "Inescapable doom!" - the boss teleports to the center of the arena and begins to channel, while tracking the player with a beam with a steadily growing AoE from above. Purple spheres are spawned around the arena by Maven. The player has to stand in the circle around each sphere for a few moments to activate them (the sphere begins to glow distinctly). If the player fails to activate all spheres in ~20 seconds, extreme damage is dealt to everything in the arena.
