When the Worm boss thrusts its head down, move left or right to avoid it. Watch for its pincers opening twice as a warning.

3
Repeat this process, hitting the Worm's eye with two missiles.
4
After hitting the eye twice, position yourself to the left or right of its head, but not in the middle.
5
The Worm will pull into the ceiling and burrow past you, ending the current encounter.
