The Ice Worm fight is quite a spectacle in Armored Core 6 and tasks players with facing off with an enormous C-Weapon.
In Armored Core 6, players will face off with a number of dangerous foes. One particularly massive opponent players will face at the end of Chapter 3 is the Ice Worm. This Institute-made C-Weapon is fuelled by Coral and has an incredibly powerful two-layered shield which makes it very difficult to hurt.
Defeating the Ice Worm in Armored Core 6 requires the collaboration of several different factions the player has worked with up to this point. As such, players have AI ACs supporting them for most of the fight by taking out drones and providing additional firepower. This boss could be considered a spiritual successor to the fights with the Storm King, Yhorm the Giant, and Praetor Rykard, from previous FromSoftware titles. It requires players to utilize a special weapon that is provided to them right before the fight to overcome the Ice Worm’s shield. Attacks
The Ice Worm spends most of the fight diving in and out of the ground while launching energy projectiles and missiles. These can be avoided by staying on the move, quick boosting when missiles are getting close, and keeping track of Ice Worm’s position using the compass/radar at the bottom of the screen.
After it recovers from getting its shield broken for the first time, the Ice Worm will deploy drones to provide it with covering fire. These launch more energy projectiles and missiles, which can be avoided in the same way as the Worm’s own projectiles and should be destroyed as soon as possible.
The Ice Worm can also attack by bursting out of the ground under a target, though it will almost never land this attack on the player if they keep moving.
