A Small Issue I Have With The Great Worm

[Left 4 Sharkb8]

Love the Greater Depths Worm, but a small problem I have with the creature is what happens when it hurts you. Touching the spikes of the creature often incurs very rapid hits and a high-pitched stabbing noise for each hit, and the knockback from every third hit often sends you careening into another set of spikes, leaving you stunlocked until you end up flying away or the beast stops to eat. My main issues is the audio and visual feedback from getting stabbed to death is a bit overstimulating, with the screen flashing with every rapid hit. This also extends to being eaten, which is similarly a bit much for me while I'm playing. For being eaten, it would be nice if the number of hits was lessened, as you could still deal the same amount of damage without making the screen flash a bunch. For the spikes, the noise could be tweaked, and perhaps the knockback could be adjusted so that you don't get launched into more spikes as often.

 

This post is mostly about the sounds and sensations that comes with this boss, which makes my head hurt and causes me needless discomfort while fighting it. Being stunlocked adds another layer to this, but I feel if the other two are changed, it shouldn't feel as bad to fight for me.
