In Warhammer Survivors, Nurglings are a type of enemy that can be found in Gallowdark and Imperial Shipyard. They have a fixed movement path, meaning they don’t infinitely lock on to you. Killing a 1000 of these nasty creeps unlocks Max Mahon. How to defeat a 1000 Nurglings? Let’s find out.
Learn how to kill 1000 Nurglings:
Where to Find Nurglings
The Nurglings are found in two stages. First, you can find them on Gallowdark, which is unlocked when, on one of your runs, your character reaches level 20 on Imperial Bastion. The second place where you meet them again, this time with greater density, is the Imperial Shipyard. To unlock this stage, your character needs to reach level 50 on Ork Stronghold.
How to Kill 1,000 Nurglings and Unlock Max Mahon
Go to the Imperial Shipyard. That’s the easiest location to farm these little gremlins. I went with my favorite character, Luca Amasiu. He starts with the Boltgun and reduces weapon cooldown by 20%. Play the stage naturally. By minute 15, you should have killed enough Nurglings for the achievement to be unlocked. However, if you are having trouble with survival or just run around and can’t handle the hoard, let’s talk about the build. After killing 1000 Nurglings, you’ll unlock Max Mahon. He wields the Combat Shotgun.
Best Build for Nurgling Farming
Once again, Luca is my character for this build. I am aiming for the Heavy Bolter (So Dice Cubes are picked) and Tape Measurer to increase the size of the bullets. I pick Shield of Faith and Bugman’s tankard to evolve the shield. I’ll take the Chainsword to complement the Tape Measurer. Fill the rest of your slots however you want. These three will carry you to kill the 1000 Nurglings easily. If for some reason you still can’t kill 1000 Nurglings in a single run, go and find the Da Lucky Stikk on the Ork Stronghold. This item will increase the spawn rate of enemies and the drop rate of items.
Nurgling Stats and Weaknesses
Nurglings have variants. There’s a base version, which you see the most throughout the game. The telltale difference between this base form and the other forms is the speed at which they move. Slower versions have the same HP as the base variant but reward you with much less EXP than usual. The faster variant, however, is faster, has more HP, and gives you 8 times more EXP.
| Variant | Base Wounds | Power | Speed | XP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Nurgling | 1 | 0.5 | 600 | 1 |
| Slow Shipyard Variant | 1 | 0.5 | 125 | 0.05 |
| Fast Special Variant | 50 | 3 | 800 | 8 |
| Additional Shipyard Variant | 1 | 0.5 | 200 | 0.1 |
Why Isn’t the Nurgling Kill Counter Increasing?
The quest’s counter won’t increase in the menu no matter how many Nurglings you kill in the stage. Since you have to kill 1000 Nurglings on a single stage, the counter is kinda obsolete, and the character will be naturally unlocked when you are done killing 1000 Nurglings.
In other words, killing less than 1000 Nurglings will keep the counter at zero, and killing more will unlock the character.
Are Nurglings Related to the Great Unclean One?
Here’s my little corner to sprinkle some lore on you guys about the world of Warhammer. In the lore of this world, the Nurglings come from the Great Unclean One. This boss, which appears at the end of both Gallowdark and Imperial Shipyard, is a Greater Daemon of Nurgle himself, the god of corruption, disease, and decay.
