Behavior [ ]

Similarly to the Squealer King, the Antlion likewise gives presents to players in return for Trinkets. It will give Desert Stones when given near Trinkets and Eggs. If provided a Beach Toy Trinket, the Antlion will give the players the Blueprint required to craft The Lazy Deserter. Equally long every bit information technology is given Trinkets, Rocks or Eggs from fourth dimension to fourth dimension, it will not go enraged and not cause Sinkholes and Cavern-ins.

When given a phase one, 4 or 5 Thermal Stone, the Antlion will either freeze or smolder, and then go enraged at the player. The Antlion will then attempt to trap the player within Sand Castles (not to be confused with Sand Castles featured in the Shipwrecked DLC), and then repeatedly slam into the basis, causing Sand Spikes to jut out of the basis, dealing either 50, 75, or 100 damage on hit, depending on the size of the Sand Fasten. Mobs take double damage. Any structures placed/congenital that are striking by Sand Castles or Sand Spikes will be destroyed. The Sand Castles and Sand Spikes can plough into Glass Castles and Glass Spikes when set on fire.

During rain, the Antlion will temporarily couch itself underground, disabling players from interacting with it.

In combat, the Antlion can heal. The Antlion heals by 200 each fourth dimension it eats rocks. The healing tin be interrupted by attacking the Antlion.

If killed, the Antlion drops iv Meat, 6–8 Desert Stones, a Lazy Deserter Pattern, 2–four Rocks and varying amounts of Trinkets.

Beneath is the number of hits information technology takes with each weapon to impale a Antlion when playing with characters with a default damage modifier. The Weather Pain is non included due to the random nature of its projectile.

Mechanics [ ]

Sinkholes [ ]

For Sinkholes leading to the Caves globe, run across Sinkhole.

" The ground crumbles beneath me. "

–Wendy, when announcing a sinkhole.

Sinkholes are craters that are created by the Antlion during summertime when displeased. When they are created, they damage players and destroy Structures where they class. Once formed, new structures cannot be congenital on them and they'll irksome downward all players walking on them. Sinkholes cannot be removed past the role player and will only begin to self-repair after 21-22 days since they were formed, taking ix-eleven more days to fully repair. Players can prevent them from appearing by contributing items to the Antlion (listed below).

Characters also say different quotes depending on how long before the sinkholes happen.

Cavern-ins [ ]

" The ceiling is going to collapse! "

–Maxwell, when announcing a cavern-in.

Cave-ins, similar to Sinkholes, happen in the Caves when the Antlion is displeased. Big boulders will driblet on locations close to the players inside caves, dissentious them if striking, destroying whatsoever Structures nearby and potentially blocking the style. Like Sinkholes, they tin can exist prevented if the players occasionally requite items to the Antlion. The boulders that drop on Cave-ins can be carried, much like Suspicious Marble, and tin even be brought outside the caves. They tin likewise exist mined for rocks using a Pickaxe.

Tributes and Rage [ ]

When the Antlion get-go spawns in Summer, players have about iv days to pay tribute earlier information technology becomes enraged. When the timer is up, there will be 3 warnings to allow the players know that Sinkholes or Cavern-ins will get-go to spawn soon. Up to two players tin can be targeted by the Antlion in a single attack with betwixt 2-5 sinkholes if on the surface or 6-10 boulders if in the Caves spawning around each of them. When the assault is complete, the Antlion'due south rage timer is reset. Though it'south not articulate when the Antlion will attack the next time.

Players can either contribute Rocks, Trinkets, or Eggs to the Antlion and it will have away a fleck of its rage. Each item delays the Antlion's rage as shown below.

Days	Items
0.33
0.66
0.99
1.32
two.98

For case, if 1 gives the Antlion a Hardened Prophylactic Hurl, it would delay its attacks for a whole day. I should keep in mind that its rage timer cannot exceed 6 days, so players may demand to contribute a hefty corporeality of items to it at to the lowest degree twice throughout Summertime in order to never be attacked.

Rewards [ ]

When the Antlion is given anything other than Rocks, Cutting Stone, or Thermal Stone, information technology will give a Desert Stone. If it is given a Beach Toy, it will requite a pattern for The Lazy Deserter but no Desert Stone.

Tips [ ]

Fighting [ ]

When fighting the Antlion, i should motility in a circumvolve within the castles, avoiding Sand Spikes. It tin can be kited.
Always wait near the player's feet. Sand Spikes testify a sand circle before shooting up.
Endeavour to become a good amount of Desert Stones earlier killing the Antlion, as they volition not be obtainable until the post-obit summertime.
Since it is unable to directly attack the thespian and cannot move, the Antlion is specially vulnerable to large stacks of Gunpowder.

Offering [ ]

It is really more efficient to give the Antlion 10 rocks instead of using them to craft a Thermal Stone. 10 rocks delay the rage timer past 3.3 days, while a Thermal Stone (stages 2 and 3) merely delays the rage timer by ii.98 days, plus costing two Twigs and 5 Flintstone to craft.
The Frog Rain and Moose/Goose in Jump volition leave aplenty amounts of Meat to the player. These meats can be converted into Eggs to offer to the Antlion in Summer.
