Destroy the eggs quickly. Eggs left alive can help the boss recover HP.

### Stage 2 - Water Ball

<img src="https://static.divine-pride.net/images/mobs/png/2530.png" alt="" width="120">

The Dark Faceworm creates **Water Ball** hazards around itself.

Keep moving and avoid staying near the Water Ball areas.

***

### Stage 3 - Venom Bugs

<img src="https://static.divine-pride.net/images/mobs/png/2531.png" alt="" width="75">

The Dark Faceworm can surround itself with **Venom Bugs** and recover HP during the mechanic.

Create some distance when the bugs appear.

***

### Stage 4 - Poison Areas

The fourth area contains additional poison hazards.

The Dark Faceworm can create **Venom Fog** around itself, so positioning is important.

Defeat the boss to open the path to the Queen.

* If the Queen is positioned correctly, Chaos will damage her.
