The Korlok Tyrant-Weed is a hideous agglomeration of near-sentient plants, working together as one. At the center, the armored, clam-like heart of the whole structure, a biological factory pulsing with ill intent. Surrounding it, watchful, aggressive sprouts, ready to fire globules of stinging ichor at any adversary. The Heart-Clam will continually attempt to spawn new sprouts, so be sure to take the damn thing out when it opens up to give birth.
— Miner's Manual Description

The Korlok Tyrant-Weed is a mini-boss found on any mission type on any biome. It consists of Korlok Sprouts, which have a spit attack similar to the Spitball Infector's attack. Killing enough of these will expose the Heart-Clam to attack. Korlok Healing Pods will heal the Heart Clam

Combat

Spawns Korlok Sprouts and Healing Pods after every time its Heart-Clam opens. Sprouts will attack you with projectiles, similar to Spitball Infectors, while Healing Pods will quickly heal the Heart-Clam. The Heart-Clam only opens briefly once every Sprout and Pod has been killed; this is the chance for Dwarves to damage it. The Tyrant-Weed's health bar is split into 3 equal pieces. Once one of these bars has been depleted, any Healing Pods that spawn will not be able to regenerate any portion of that depleted bar. The Heart-Clam drops three Tyrant Shards when killed, which give a total of 1050 Credit and 1500 Experience Points (multiplied by the Hazard Bonus).

  • Avoid engaging the Weed if you do not have a substantial amount of Nitra. The Weed can take a large amount of ammo to take down
