Corpse Grubs are enemies in Dark Souls 3.
Description[]
The evolved form of the parasites residing in Infested Corpses, these vile creatures are comprised entirely of maggots. Most of them appear in a waterway in the cathedral's grounds and one is found in a cell in the Irithyll Dungeon which drops the Great Magic Shield sorcery.
Locations[]
- Three are found by taking an alternate path to the right of the Cleansing Chapel, lurking about a shallow waterway surrounding the chapel's annex.
- Another is found a bit further, by following a narrow passage located to the right of the Ravenous Crystal Lizard's dwelling place. It guards the Poisonbite Ring.
- One is found imprisoned in a cell on the first floor of the initial cell block, roughly below the first bonfire. It drops the Great Magic Shield sorcery.
Strategy[]
Like the other maggots enemies, Corpse Grubs inflict the maggot status with their attacks, which can be removed with a torch, or cured with a Bloodred Moss Clump. Although stronger and more aggressive than their infected hosts, they share the same weakness to fire damage and will writhe in agony if set alight.
