Useful Info

Steelbarb worms are swift-moving annelids found in the Spider's Nest. They can inflict the Barbs status effect on melee hit.

Tips & Tricks

• Barbs is less threatening when you consider that nearly every resident of the Spider's Nest is faster than you. You should be positioning well before you get hit in melee.
• They are not vulnerable to poison, but they aren't resistant to it either. Most poison attacks will work well on a steelbarb worm.

History

• Steelbarb worms were added in 0.28.
