Why do I get hit by the toxic projectiles even when I’m not standing in the red circles? Horrible hit markers or what?

As far as I have observed this (and this is the hardest boss I’ve faced in there):

The circles mark the AoE of the END of the projectiles the boss (and the adds) fire. Since you can intercept bullets with your body you can also intercept those AoEDoT-inflicting bullets, resulting in getting damaged.
I could be wrong though.

That’s just unnecessary and tedious if you’re right, as if having 10+ shot around you with barely maybe a second to dodge isn’t hard enough.

I’ve beaten TA ex, but every time the worm is a pain in thekitten and this has always bothered me.

If you’re in the middle of a dodge-roll you can’t be hit. If you run out of the AoE sideways/away from the boss you shouldn’t be in trouble either.

Again. Not sure if I am right though.

The spit is first a projectile, then turns into ground AoE. The hitbox of the projectile portion is large and last awhile.

Make sure you are fighting in melee against the worms. Be good about clearing blossoms and stay in melee to trigger their ground slam attack instead of spits. The concept here is simple but the execution takes some getting use to. Once you are used to it it becomes clockwork just like everything else.

Hadn’t tried this yet, but I will. Thanks for the help all.
