I just fought this baddie in Grenths Footprint - scared the bijeezees out of me (i took a bunch of pics). i did a search and apparently he spawns has spawned in other zones before.

so, if anyone is looking for this big bad lvl 28 worm i found him in grenths. i had farmed the whole grenths map on several occassions since past and have never had this happen unitl tonight.

anyone else have this happen in grenths?

That's good news for the Necromancers trying to capture Feast of Corruption, travelling to Dreadnought's Drifts (Maw's usual stomping ground) from Rankor is such a drag with the countless Tundra Giant mobs doing their 'haha, I knock you down with my ranged attack over and over, oh by the way, giant stomp - say, isn't this fun?' bit, which gets so tedious that mobs of Azure Shadows become a welcome relief after a while.

Heh, looks like you fed him very well. Did your henchmen win or loose?

What is it about Bigfoot, Nessie and Maw that prevents people from taking a clear photo, anyway?

NDA and stuff like that. The NSA is pretty uptight, especially with Bush being made fun of on The Daily Show and stuff like that....

all i got was a blue scoll of adventurers crap. i will post the pic when i get home from work. sorry about the quality - reduced the pic the only way i know how and thats what you got.

and yes, he was fed well for a moment until the healer henchies finally kicked it into gear. the only reason he killed me *cough cough, was because i just got done fighting a slew of stone summit and ice imps *cough cough...

i am serious the healer henchies suck since last patch

Shmash!

Random pops are exciting arent they?

I belive he doesn't drop any greens. Greens are only dropped by bosses who are 'native' to Sorrows Furnace and Grenth's Footprint, and since Maw can be found many places, he isn't one of those bosses.

He's pretty easy though so just kill him if you see him and hope for a purple or a gold item.

when you all found him did he keep popping in and out of the ground all irractically (sp)? he kept doing this to me almost to not serve any purpose. i thought he may have been kinda bugged or somthing or maybe i wasnt supposed to be seeing him.

Shmash!

and yes, after i was ready to fight he was a very easy kill.

he keeps popping up and down, doing damage, but if you hit him and keep a melee person on him he'll stop so you can nail him above ground. If not, get a bunch of elementalists and nuke his ass. Even if he pops under ground, if an ele is casting something like immolate it hits. Plus immolate sets them on fire :P I like fire :P

He was easy since I killed him with hench. Needed the necromancer elite skill off of him, plus I wanted to see a boss wurm lol.

has anyone encounted him in snake dance
cause i wanted to cap punishing shot with a PUG group and he ambushed us when we were fighting a group of azures and griphons and we could not take him on and all the azures and griphons as most of us died already. He had the element of surprise and most of us were kinda shocked seeing him here, after a while we just went to war camp to clear dp and go to the new outpost for some of our new characters.

sorry for not posting photos i couldn't at the time i was trying to kill all the other creatures and hoping that everyone in the team does not die

Yeah, I have also found that he spawns close to Copperhammer. I think that Anet added some spots for him.. (of course after I had to get it in Dreadnoughts -_-)

I got him last night just outside the Footprint entrance in Snake Dance. Take the first right, up the pass to where the Hill Giants are. He was right there.

Interesting. My Necro killed him in Dreadnaughts though for Feast of Corruption. The trek there isn't hard for a necro.

Yeah, the trek to where Maw used to be isn't nearly as hard as most people make it out to be. The journey's even less tedious now that you can start from the Warcamp! I made it up there with henchies to cap FoC, no problems at all
