Tired of getting sent back to the space rig by what is essentially a group of giant aggressive asparagus plants? I was too, which is why I went all out to make this video with everything I know about the Korlok Tyrant-Weed. I hope it comes in useful when you encounter one of these things in the wild!
Also, as I said in the video, thank you so much for the 1000+ subscribers people! I'm extremely grateful for all the support and discussion coming from everyone and its only more motivation to keep going!

ENOUGH! I hereby decree, the OMEN Exterminator as our champion! After seeing your comments its pretty obvious that you guys want the OMEN video first and Ive decided to work on that one in earnest. Dont worry, the BET-C video is definitely happening too. Thanks for voting! (also I guess I can do Community Posts with polls in them now so Ill probably just do that in the future for this kind of thing. I got that ability late for this one so oh well!)

Omen is too deadly compared to the rest. I have 500 hours into the game and friends all have around 250 and we just skip that event to not potentially wipe. We make a plan and something always goes wrong. If there was a way to cheese it we would totally take that route. I carry the team a lot of the time but that is one event I can't carry. Also great guides btw. I saw your engineer one and I thought no one but me had figured out the "Rail Gun" build as I also call it. Great editing and organization too.

An important note on dealing with sprouts; yes, they resist most elemental damage, but ANY DoT effect (fire, shock, neurotoxin, etc.) will basically "stun" the sprout from attacking you, giving some extra time to evaluate your next move

Tip for spotting the healing pods, they emit a stream of thin purple light out to the main heard when they're healing it, you can use that to see if there are any and find them if they're obscured.
other suggestions: leveling guides for us greenbeards - teach us what the early 'trap' upgrades are or what are some solid ways to spend our limited resources Guides for Grenade / Mobility Tools / Utility Tools for each class. Is shooting minerals with Gunner really any good? i see people do it alot but the resources seem lesser.

Omen for sure. Some greenbeards I get matched up with don’t even know how they work
Great to see some bossfight guides. I'd prefer OMEN next, I'm kinda fed up having to waste time not getting any cores because people don't want to fight it/don't know how the fight works.
definitely omen, greenbeards keep eating shit on it
What I like about the Weed is that if it’s in a closed off or some other convenient spot you can just leave it alone and come back later when you’re more prepared. You can do this especially if you already destroyed the healing pods or if it can’t heal any further anyway.
I am not kidding when I say that in a haunted cave mission, in an egg hunt, in the main room, there was a corruptor and a tyrant weed, quite hard.
Found myself as scout with 3 green beards who refused to attack healing pods. Went through 2 supply drops and had to resort to pickaxing them... Guide should be mandatory viewing before playing

Oh those are the worst! I had one next to the Omoran heart stone and we had no choice but to fight it. Didn't end well lol Also I'm definitely feeling the OMEN extractor. They're very obtuse to figure out and its hard to get practice in on them with how rare they can be.
The dreadnought hiveguard’s fight is similar to the korlok tyrant-weed with a wash, rinse, spin and repeat pattern cycle, but it keeps the same difficulty. My ideas for the dreadnought tyrants are: First stage of the sentinels, the hiveguard does not attack at all except for shooting fireballs at you every three minutes When the three weak point spores are available, the enemy shoots three fireballs (every fireball is shot every 1.5 seconds) with a cooldown of one minute When vulnerable at the back, it is the exact same. (The Weakspots on the hiveguard are covered up with a very heavy layer of Armor material) - The hiveguard spawns in more until / till the first third of its health has been depleted Then it adds a knock back stomp attack that launches dwarves thirty meters per second horizontally and thirty metres per second vertically (the stomp animation is super slow at first but then progressively increases faster and harder!) The dreadnought hiveguard’s fireball technique uses the season two and later attack and keeps the old one, the old one remains one minute, and the new one starts at 30 seconds between rounds. (The new fireball blast is in between 0.5s to 1.5.). Then on the third phase of the fight is with the stomp speeding up and the shockwave knock back blast excels 50mps horizontal and vertical and when almost dead it reaches 60mps to 120 meters per second. And the new fireballs are ten seconds between each time and the old season 1 and back is 15 seconds. That all I have to say about this. Goodbye!
Great guide and sick editing. I love your stuff. My vote is for the OMEN tower. There's a lot of fun ways to approach taking it down and a guide in your style for that would not only be good to watch but would surely give some much needed education to the many dwarves I've seen struggle with not wiping on it.
While I was new to the game, I was playing with a friend and ended up in a VERY deep pit with a Tyrant Weed in it. Luckily I was Scout so I could zip out of there
Having the high ground is a significant advantage for this encounter. Easy to take cover, and quick to peek to shoot the pods and the core.
In all my times in DRG, I had only ever found 1 team that was able to take down that damn weed. It really all came down to some freaking cooperation. You need the team to be fully into it and not half arse it. Or have one or more teammate off doing some other shit. Another thing to look out for is positioning. Having the team where they need to be to make work of the weeds parts and make sure that core gets opened fast, and unloaded on it even faster.

I’d say do one for the omen it’s difficult and a kick in the teeth if you don’t know what to do also keep up the good content
Fuck, I didn’t know about the rewards, I just killed it and left
I found those annoying because sometimes a scout rush into it and triggered it by accident, then it starts blasting shots through the cave forcing us to take cover - it has such a long range.
My friends and I have another strategy for killing Korloks--Goon Rushing. We simply jump it like a tourist in downtown NYC.

Boss says yous gotta go, vegetable
I once had a Tyrant weed in a TERRIBLE location in a solo game. It was so bad that all plant parts were on different platforms and different cave halls and If I was unlucky a healing pod would spawn downstairs so I had to run or dig my way down everytime! I did do it eventually but it was frustrating to deal with the healing pods there.
bonus: u can drop a suply drop on it when it´s open it deals 1/3rd of its health as damage and you can jump over a stage when u time it well
Karl's approval is always something to consider
The intro animatics are some top-tier editing

There are plenty of things to infuse cores with. Guy in my party managed to explain the whole thing in 1 sentence
Ah, the weed. The boss that can be either a breeze or a complete nightmare depending on how the clam is positioned. Shooting sprouts do massive damage and their spawn is not exactly too predictable. The fact that wave may happen in the middle of the fight is also a problem - chaos is the worst enemy when dealing with the weed.
Great guide! And I absolutely love the visuals and editing.
Here are some tips I have for Tyrant-Weeds 1.If you are going to c4 the heart make a sort of elevated perch so everyone can shoot it more easily. 2. If there is crater where the heart is you can platform to allow other to melee it just make sure to go overzealous with the platforming if there is more c4 to throw on it. (You can also use it to allow for c4 to still be place near the heart even if there is a crater) 3. Use DoT effects to your advantage on sprouts this will help you not waste as much ammo. 4. Cyro is not good against the heart but very helpful against sprouts use it to support your team or make you secondary more efficient. 5. Gunners use ziplines as a quick escape down if the Heart is in high up. 6. This enemy resists explosive and electric damage and is weak to melee, ice, and fire. (Btw resistances are different between the sprout, heart, and healing pod but is generally accurate) 7. Try and rally your team before the heart opens so that you don't waste time and resources in the same phase.
Just discovered your channel and man is it qualitative. You Rock and you Stone.
As a gunner I usually run berserk, so my general approach to a Korlok is to stay close to it and pick off the sprouts and pods with the minigun to then throw as many power attacks as I can into it when it opens and unload a bulldog magazine into it before it closes.
this video was very well put together, I'm looking forward to seeing more quality content from DRG
Me and my friend were fighting a tyrant weed. it was a little under half heath when mission control wants to chime up and go "team we have something big on the scanners". for people who don't know that spawns a dreadnought. The worst part was we found a betsy after that right when we didn't need her it was also end of the mission too

Great video! Keep em coming!
Definitely Omen. I've seen Omens wipe a team more than anything else to the point where doing one feels a bit like a gamble.
I highly recommend using Nuk17 (as Scout) with explosive ammo overclock and auto reload perk, as reloading the gun makes the ammo you shot before explode in the enemy, always shoot it but don't hit the reload button, instead change your gun and wait till the perk kicks in (not reloading it manually thus not exploding), do it till you shot 4 whole magazines on the Korlok and then when it closes, hit the reload button, you might 1 shot the thing.
This makes my day. Keep up the good work!
Great vid, love the quality and the hard work you put in

Great video! I scrolled through a decent bit if comments, didn't see anyone mention that when you freeze the healing pods they stop healing. It's not a big deal, but if driller is near one, he can stop it until switching weapons or getting help from someone else.
if you shoot the projectiles with a plasma gun it causes a large plasma reaction that removes dirt/rock and your health.
Wow, given the quality of your videos I’d expect your channel to have >50k subs! I’m new to the game and loving these. Keep it up!
Sincerely, i have understood how to do OMEN in an easy way a week ago!😉😁 First step: the explorer have to be on the top of it, shooting down drones and weak points of the top level. Up there the only thing that can damage you are drones going towards you. But they aren't really much, 1/2... With that technique, you will destroy the upper top level very fast, without taking damage. Another way to go up there, it can be that you positionate yourself at the center of it, before it raises up. 👌👍 I hope that this advice can help you
i remember having to deal with my first one just a few days ago, still early in game (JUST got my first promotion and got one.) the way it was placed made it EASY to kill, a wall next to it where i don't get shot at. killed it solo too
This was fantastic, I keep going back to press like to see I already have haha.
Picked up DRG about a week ago, and went in completely blind. My 1st encounter of the Korlok was in Dense Biozone, and where it was meant everything spawned on multiple levels so getting back to damage the core gave me less time to deal damage,I didn't know about the healing pod (since it spawned in a small coveree nook and didn't know to look for it) and it took me FOREVER. Then a Bulk Detonator started chasing me right after I finally killed it, so safe to say I hated these things until I learned that, while tough, I got super unlucky the 1st time
