Behavior

The Megamoth Larva is found in a skull-like room within the Woodland Labyrinth, immediately attacking as soon as a player draws near. Throughout the fight, it will constantly spawn Mini Larvae to fire radial attacks.

The boss itself alternates between two attack patterns:

  • Chases players with radial bursts of green spirals that inflict Sick.
  • Chases players while firing a 3-armed spiral of blue missiles, alongside smaller shotguns of green Sick spirals.

After taking enough damage, it will use a special attack. Moving to the center of the room and flashing red, it will fire a large volume of bombs that spawn Puke Water all over the center of the arena, which lasts until the end of the fight. If the Larva is brought to 0 HP before using the attack, it will momentarily remain at 1 HP in order to create the hazard.

Note: If insufficient damage is dealt after a set amount of time, it will use its special attack, then continue using its normal attack patterns until falling to 1 HP. It will not create a second set of puke tiles.

When killed, the Megamoth Larva will go invulnerable, flash red, and turn into the Mammoth Megamoth. It cannot be reduced below 1 HP before its transformation.

Tips and Strategies

The Megamoth Larva is mostly harmless, its attacks can be avoided by simply moving in a straight line away from it due to its firing patterns. Do not get cornered, however - its attacks deal significant damage if you are forced to take them head-on.

Trivia

The Larva Puke spawned by the Megamoth Larva is spawned in one of many preset shapes. There is a very small chance that it will spawn puke in the pattern of a Knight, as a reference to how players were able to coax the pre-rework Megamoth Larva into targeting specific tiles to create “puke art”.
