Ghorm is one of the three bosses in early game. When defeated, Ghorm will drop Ghorm's Horn, one of the three items required to power up the core. Your world save file will also be marked with the same icon.
Ghorm spawns halfway between the Core and the Great Wall. It circles around the Core, moving between The Clay Caves and The Forgotten Ruins, destroying everything in its path. Ghorm the Devourer Scanner can be used to locate its position on the map, though largely unnecessary, as you can always find its track no matter which direction you go. Ghorm track appears approximately 220 tiles away from the core. You can use this measurement against any other bosses for reference. The track is approximately 8 tiles wide, filled with ground slimes.
To respawn Ghorm after it has been killed, place Ghorm Summoning Idol on its rune circle. The idol can be purchased from the Cloaked Merchant. The merchant will restock their items after some time has passed.
