The video provides a detailed guide to hunting the Yormandi Worms boss in Star Citizen’s ASD Onyx facilities, covering optimal gear, access routes, combat strategies, and looting tips for efficient and safe runs. It highlights the benefits of teamwork, strategic use of resources, and offers insights into the fight’s mechanics while encouraging community engagement and promising future mission guides.
The video is a comprehensive guide to hunting the Yormandi Worms, the newest boss fight introduced in the ASD Onyx facilities in Star Citizen. The host, Loud Guns, begins by discussing the importance of gearing up properly for the fight, recommending heavy armor for survivability but cautioning against pairing it with dual heavy weapons due to reduced mobility. The suggested loadout includes a lighter rifle or SMG for clearing enemies en route and a powerful LMG, like the Pulverizer or Fresnell energy LMG, for the boss fight itself. The guide emphasizes the value of carrying a tractor beam, med gun, med pens, and ample ammunition, as well as the benefits of tackling the fight in a small group of three or four players for optimal efficiency.
Next, the video explains how to access the Onyx facilities where the boss fight takes place. These facilities are scattered across the Stanton system but only become visible on the star map once a mission from the investigation section is accepted. Upon arrival, players land in large hangars and proceed to the lobby, where they should search for blue loot boxes containing valuable items, including yellow key cards. These key cards are crucial for taking a bypass or express route to the boss arena, allowing faster and safer access. The video details the standard route through the research wing and site B, highlighting combat encounters, loot opportunities, and strategic navigation tips to avoid unnecessary fights and injuries.
The guide then covers the express route unlocked by the yellow key cards, which involves sneaking through air vents and a locked door to bypass most enemies and reach the boss arena quickly. This route is particularly useful for repeat runs, saving time and reducing combat risk. Once at the boss arena, the team prepares for the fight by checking ammunition and loadouts. The boss fight itself involves battling two large worms that attack with lightning-based abilities and lunges. Players are advised to use cover, dodge attacks, and focus fire on the worms’ weak points, such as electric scars and eyes. The guide also mentions the strategic use of plasma batteries found in the arena to stun the worms temporarily, making them more vulnerable.
After defeating the worms, players must loot specific valuable parts—two eyes and one tongue from each worm—using prompts or the tractor beam to extract these items. The host expresses some personal reservations about the current hunting mechanics in Star Citizen, noting that the process feels somewhat limited and hopes for more diverse crafting uses for animal parts in the future. Following looting, players exit the arena promptly to avoid a violent reset that kills any remaining entities and returns them to the facility lobby where they can heal injuries sustained during the fight.
In conclusion, the video praises the Onyx facilities and Yormandi boss fight for their balanced difficulty and engaging mechanics, especially when compared to other boss fights like the Apex Valakar. Loud Guns encourages viewers to share their experiences in the comments and invites them to join the F FRCN Discord for group play. The guide is positioned as a helpful resource for players seeking to farm valuable loot or enjoy a challenging new encounter in Star Citizen, with a promise of a more detailed mission line guide coming soon.
