History of Worm Familiar

The Worm Familiar is a story item from the The Cunning mission of The Witch Queen.

Acquisition

1. Defeat the Warden. Scorn Chieftains spawn in the corners of the arena and make nearby allies invulnerable with their totems, so clear them first. Chip at the Warden's health; removing most of it makes it briefly immune and spawns a larger wave.
2. Solve the symbol puzzle. After the Warden dies, use the Deepsight Orb beside the Rally Flag and shoot the five symbols on the left side of the arena.
3. Climb the platforms that appear, use the next Deepsight Orb, and shoot the vertical line of symbols.
4. Grab the Worm Familiar from the platform near the statue at the center of the arena.

Sources differ on what follows the grab. One guide describes an Ahamkara illusion that attacks once the familiar is taken, with damage windows when its mouth glows orange, and advises staying behind the pillars. The other describes the grab as the final puzzle objective.
