Lunar Seer Quote
You dream of wurms.

Helminth Hatchery is one of the five new environments added to the game with the Seekers of the Storm, located on Petrichor V, and is found in the fifth set of Environments in Risk of Rain 2.

It has two notable surfaces that have an effect when an entity is standing on them:

1. Lava: the character takes 10% of their max health as damage every 0.2 seconds. Some monsters are immune to this.
2. Tunnel: the character receives a speed boost; 4 for the normal tunnel surface and 5 for the sections that glow in blue.

Newt Altars

There are 4 possible locations for the Newt Altars and exactly 2 will spawn:

• 
  1. Inside the mouth of the dead Magma Worm (Consistent spawn)
• 
  2. Inside the rightmost tower
• 
  3. Inside the isolated tower
• 
  4. On the bottom floor, under the Magma Worm body

Lore

Massive shining coils shift, red as Mercury blossoms, revealing a sphere of bright molten obsidian glowing inside a bowl of red stone.
Four stories up a large dark hand reaches through the glassless window, pets the coils and brings the bowl inside.
Strange tools of silver line the walls alongside endless artifacts freely given, intricately carved, and tenderly loved. His tribute.
He pulls an oblong clay jar down, a seal bearing his likeness breaks under his grip with a hiss.
Inside the jar, crackling starseed thorns and dried kifruit skins, their earthy scent fills the smoldering workshop.
For the morning star, he reaches into the molten obsidian and pierces the bowl with a starseed thorn from within. A thorn for each fate changed.
Many thorns and fates later, he tap tap taps a silver tool against the stone of the workshop.
Red coils in the window shift again, a massive burning eye curiously takes in the room, then it’s open mouth appears in the window, the sudden heat wave sending a song through a ceiling of silver chimes.
He places the spiked obsidian ball inside and pats it’s muzzle twice. The gilded wurm is to take the mace to the surface. The obsidian cools in a shaft of putrid moonlight, collecting lunar rage and loneliness.
For the handle, he wraps a rod of silver in dried kifruit skins and an eon of freedom, lost to gravity wells long ago.
Finally, he seals the obsidian weapon with a golden T emblem.
His gift. No, his apology.

  Armor: 15 are twice as likely to be chosen as the Teleporter Boss than the other bosses.
  • A consequence of this is that Horde of Many is also more likely to occur.
  • Reaching Helminth Hatchery before looping when at least 60 minutes have passed, the Scene Director will have sufficient credits to spawn an Overloading Worm if it is the first spawn card it selects. This has a 23.33% chance of happening. This is approximately twice as likely as the same thing happening on Sky MeadowSky Meadow (Stage 5)

    because of the worm's higher spawning chance.

  , Helminth Hatchery spawns white multishops instead of green. If Survivors of the Void is enabled, green multishops can spawn along with white ones. This inconsistency is likely an oversight for the interactable pool.
