Tips

  • As with all worm-type enemies, Diggers can be easily killed with spears, as these weapons can travel through blocks and can hit multiple of the Digger's segments, drastically increasing damage output.
  • Much like the World Feeder, if the Cursed Inferno debuff is inflicted to multiple segments, damage can quickly rack up.
  • Since the Digger shares the same kill count and banner as the Giant Worm, Worm Banners obtained pre-Hardmode can be useful for fighting Diggers.

Trivia

  • The Digger's sprite greatly resembles that of the Devourer, such as having recolored body and tail segments as well as sharing similar facial characteristics.
  • The BestiaryBestiary entry for the Digger: "Exposure to the effects of ancient magicks flowing throughout the cracks of the world causes unusual rapid growths in giant worms."
