[[Defeat the crimson head of the great jungle wurm]] is a level 52 [[group event]] that occurs in [[Bloodtide Coast]]. The objective is to defeat one of the heads of the Great Jungle Wurm world boss.

== Event Schedule ==
{{world boss table|Evolved Jungle Wurm}}

== Objectives ==
* Time limit: 14:00
* Crimson Great Jungle Wurm
* {{event bar}} {{event boss}}
* Time limit: 1:30
* Crimson Great Jungle Wurm Head
* {{event bar}} {{event boss}}

== Rewards ==
{{event rewards}}
* [[The Wurm's Bronze Chest]], [[The Wurm's Silver Chest]], or [[The Wurm's Golden Chest]], depending on the number of heads severed from the wurm's body.
* [[Great Jungle Wurm Chest]] once a day, upon killing all the wurm's heads within the time limit.
** Chance at the following unique loot:
*** {{item icon|Triple Trouble Tooth Piece}}
*** {{item icon|Connie's Lost Wedding Ring}}
*** {{item icon|Amulet of Triple Curiosity}}
*** {{item icon|Annelid Rifle Skin}}
*** {{item icon|Mini Cobalt Great Jungle Wurm Head}}
*** {{item icon|Pile of Regurgitated Armor}}
* {{rewards item|Tasty Wurm Segment (Medicine)|qty=75-125}} <small>(if [[Horn of Maguuma (achievements)#Skyscale Medicine Masker|Skyscale Medicine Masker]] achievement is active)</small>

== Walkthrough ==
When the event begins, Crimson will have {{effect|Slick Skin (Crimson Great Jungle Wurm)|Slick Skin}}, rendering it immune to damage until removed.

Around the field will be mushrooms players can interact with to gain a stack of {{effect|Might}} and {{effect|Nutrient}}, which makes the player immune to one instance of Drool flung at them by the Great Jungle Wurm. Attempting to eat the mushroom again will change {{effect|Nutrient}} into {{effect|Parasites}}, unlike during the escort events.

During the fight, Crimson will spit the following things. They must be dealt with quickly or groups may find themselves overrun.
* [[Great Jungle Wurm Egg]]s — Hatches into [[Great Jungle Wurm Larva]] if not destroyed within 20 seconds. Can be [[reflect]]ed and [[Block#Projectile destruction|destroyed]] before it lands. Having at least one player take care of this is recommended. Up to nine of these can be spat out by Crimson every 45 seconds.
** [[Great Jungle Wurm Larva]] — Deals high damage and applies conditions.
* [[Champion Partially Digested Husk]] — Has very high [[toughness]] rendering them immune to all types of damage other than [[condition]]s. Inflicts {{effect|Parasites}}. Up to three of these can be spat out by Crimson every 90 seconds.

=== Removing Slick Skin ===
Throughout the area will be multiple [[Phytotoxin Cloud]]s which grants players one of three uniquely colored phytotoxins and three [[Phytotoxin Extractor]]s. Players must run through all three clouds and collect the phytotoxin and bring it to its respective extractor.
* {{effect|Amber Phytotoxin}} — western extractor
* {{effect|Cobalt Phytotoxin}} — southeastern extractor
* {{effect|Crimson Phytotoxin}} — northern extractor
Players can carry all three colors at the same time. Running through a cloud with a color they already have will 'not' result in refreshing the duration back up to 60 seconds. Clouds will disappear after a certain amount of time and respawn in a different area. Using a [[teleport]] skill will cause players to lose all phytotoxins they have collected.

All three extractors must be filled each with 30 clouds of phytotoxin before Slick Skin may be removed.

Once Slick Skin has been removed, Crimson will fall down and be susceptible to damage for 30 seconds. After this time has passed, it will return upright and regain {{effect|Slick Skin (Crimson Great Jungle Wurm)|Slick Skin}}. Players need to refill the extractors until the great wurm is decapitated, causing it to burrow underground.

The timer will also be set to '''1 minute''' if it was the first one to be decapitated. If the other two Great Jungle Wurm heads are not decapitated within this time limit, the event will fail.

=== Severed wurm head ===
Once all three Great Jungle Wurm heads have been successfully decapitated, they will all unburrow and the timer will be set to 2 minutes. All three severed heads must be defeated in order for this event to succeed.

After the final head has been defeated, a portal will appear nearby which will bring players to [[Firthside Vigil Waypoint]] where players may claim their rewards. Crusader Yipp doesn't take this portal but returns the long way round.

== Notes ==
{{bug|Decapitating all the great jungle wurms in exactly the same time (within a few seconds of each other) will not stop the timer from the first phase, causing two timers to countdown and forcing event failure as the first timer runs out. To avoid this issue, ensure the great jungle wurms are decapitated at staggered times.}}
