Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Altaroth are giant ant-like insects that crawl along the ground, foraging in areas with berries or mushrooms.
  2. 2
    Their stomachs swell when they eat and change color. Killing them when their stomachs are a different color will result in a shiny dropping that could yield items from what they’ve been eating.
  3. 3
    If they go to the mushroom area, it's one of the few ways to get the Ripened Mushroom, an account item.
  4. 4
    If provoked, Altaroth will attempt to bite at you with their massive jaws.
  5. 5
    To make Altaroth die and leave behind a carveable body, you must poison them. Poison weapons or shots, or Poison Smoke Bombs are the way to go, with Poison Smoke Bombs being the most reliable.
Tips
  • Killing Altaroth when their stomachs are swollen and a different color can yield special drops.
  • Poison Smoke Bombs are the most reliable method for poisoning Altaroth to get a carveable body.
