Scans of the ice worms bones show that they have a surprising degree of flexion in them. The ice worm can be temporarily distracted through the use of sonic devices.Īssessment: Aggressive and lethal - Avoid It then lunges through the ice and uses its horn and mandibles to attack. It relies on sound traveling through the ice to alert it to potential prey. As the ice worm burrows, small microscopic grooves continuously channel water into these chambers allowing it to burrow with ease.īehaviors: The ice worm is an ambush predator. The inner chambers of the horn are filled with deposits of raw alkali metals that react violently with water, creating an exothermic chemical reaction. Super-heated Horn: The horn of the ice worm is the thickest part of the creature.

The anterior of the ice worm is covered in a thicker skin that doesn’t require plating. The spikes create treads that rapidly shuttle melted water back as it burrows, similar to tire treads. The exoskeleton protects the soft upper body of the ice worm as it moves through the ice. Plating: The ice worm is covered in a thick exoskeleton with backward facing spikes. It is also impossible to scan a living Ice Worm, and as such, scanning the Ice Worm carcass in the Arctic Spires the only way to obtain its databank entry.Īn extremely large and dangerous leviathan, roughly 95m long, with a thick plated exoskeleton that burrows through dense ice shelves with minimal resistance. It is impossible to kill an Ice Worm, as it does not have a hitbox. If there is a Snow Stalker within their vicinity, an Ice Worm will eat it suggesting it as their primary known source of nutrition and sustenance. When an Ice Worm enters hunt mode, they begin to rapidly attack the player, using dive attacks, pokes, spear attacks, and whip attacks. While tunneling, it can dash at the player, and if it catches them, it will spear them, and then fling them into the air, before swallowing them whole. If it is closer to the target it will do one of many close-range attacks. After it has lunged at the player, it will either emerge back out of the ground to do another attack or it will poke at the player from underground with its horn. If the player or Thumper is a reasonable distance from the Ice Worm, the Ice Worm will lunge at the target.
Once it is above ground, it will do a loud roar before doing an attack. It is attracted to noise and vibration, and will surface to attack whatever produces these things. The Ice Worm travels just below the surface of the ice, producing a distinct trail of pushed-up snow accompanied by a jet of steam. The tail ends with a pair of long and thin spines. The inside of the upper and lower pair is lined with black spines. Each is long and curved with a solid black exterior and fleshy red interior. Below the horn, the creature's four mouth-parts can be seen. This horn is super-heated and allows the Ice Worm to melt through ice in order to burrow. The head is mainly comprised by a single huge plate which tapers into a long, thick horn sticking straight out from the head. The underside is grey in color and has two rows of parapodia used to grip the ice running parallel down the body. The underside of the creature is bare and unprotected, lacking any protective plating. Beneath these plates are another set of triangular plates that stick out horizontally, each with a backwards facing spike. So get ready to blast off in a rocket fuelled Starfield performance preview.The Ice Worm has a very long body, the top side of which is completely covered by a thick segmented exoskeleton. We also compare the improvements over the previous showing, enhancements within the engine, and much more.

The biggest question after the show(s) was: why is it 30fps on Xbox Series X and Series S and not 60fps? In this IGN Performance preview, we dive into the details shared by the team, the revealed PC minimum and recommended specifications, and how the Creation Engine 2 works, comparing the previous games to gauge some of the potential reasons why the team might have chosen 30fps. With Starfield being the center of the Xbox 2023 Showcase last week, Bethesda gave us a deep dive into one of the biggest games this generation.
