Worm Challenge Frustrations!
Lordhelmos
What the hell is the deal with this challenge? I never see any lost souls and the maddened spirits spawn way too fast. I don't know how you people are getting 1000 points but this mission is seriously pissing me off to no end.

Perhaps someone can offer some insight now how the physics of this mission work. I'm starting to average about 90ish points and open all the chambers, but there hasn't been a single lost soul spawn.

I tried it for fun yesterday, but the maddened spirit kept hitting me with 700 damage a strike and put me out of my misery pretty fast.

People are getting 1000 + points because they're using 55 monks and soloing maddened spirits, or whatever there own personal prefference is lol.
From just using the wurm i can average about 100 - 150 points per run, thats transforming back into a person to regain hp if i mess up and a spirit starts beating on me.
Thats just me though lol.
The lost souls are pretty rare too, ive only ever managed to kill a few, there really low levels though and give 7 or 8 points, i forget.

What has worked for me is, I wait around until I get 60 points so that all areas are open. Then I just tunnel around the map (The souls shouldn't catch you and you even have a speed boost
) until I find a Lost Soul.

The strat I use is to begin with the wurm and clear the starting area and hope enough greater infestations spawn there to get 60 points and kill the maddened spirits. I will then go look for lost souls. Sometimes I find two, other times I don't find any in 30-60 minutes runs or so. I switch between wurms if needed and will 55 if too many spirits chase me.
I can't seem to get my 5th armor piece. Chances decrease when you allrdy have 3-4 heros with the armor upgrade.
Although I like the uniqueness of this mission, I feel like playing a racing game last days, just to get that last armor piece. I was first going to stock up a few to sell, but I dislike that mission in the meantime. Some peeps wanne buy it for max 5k, so I can't be bothered to farm it for them and waste hours. They'll have to learn it themselves. I just wanne have that last piece and will never come back there again.

Hehe, yes preach on brother! Frustration city.
I finally explored it all and got about 45 points max. Not fun.

I usually manage to get 60 points and what I do is usually every once in a while I weaken a Greater Infestation to near death and I continue killing, also making sure he doesnt regen, and when the maddened spirit comes I just do a quick kill and then Im able to use all my skills on the maddenned spirit!

I think it only applies to the first area, but if your wormy is low on health just hop out n grab a new one: full energy, full health.

made it to 60 and tunneled for 30 minutes before a lost soul spawned. Way too rare, and even then there is only a % chance you will get the armor if you kill him. This seems impossible to do effectively without cheating by using a 55. The armor is beginning to not be worth the frustration this mission causes. It would take hours stacked on hours of mindless running in circles just to find those lost souls, and half the time they spawn in non worm areas that forces you to get off the worm in order to get to them, in which if you dont have sprint or some running skill the maddens come up and kill you before you can get another worm. By the time you find you first lost soul, you have about 5-6 maddened spirits on you ass and even with the spirit form they still deal 150 each and will kill you. They should makes spirit form grant you invincibility to maddened spirits for its duration and up the spawn rate of lost souls. As of now, this mission is a mindless and irritating grind. Getting the armors here is like standing on my lawn watching the grass grow, I've gotten to the point where I'd rather buy them off people than deal with this mess.

When a lost soul spawns in an unlocked location (not entirely sure about locked), it stays in the same location until you kill it. It should take you only a few minutes to loop around the entire area checking the spawn locations. Quote:
Legit, it was also the most boring 3 hours of my life and I didn't get any armors that run (thank you Anet for not giving a reason for people to stay there). Probably the last "legit" score that'll ever be on the high scores, thanks to a few people. Oh well, I got my armors out of it, and I'm working on a guide for it and wurms in general. (Why? Because I can.)
