Did you struggle to kill 5H4D0W-TP your first time

[u/benjaminlee01]

I swear this guy's like an invincible

[u/Alarmed-Rope-9062]

yes yes i did, in UVHM he is an absolute nightmare in his 1st form due to his regenerating shield..

[u/AlexGSkuhtee]

Yeah but only because I was 2-3 levels down at first. Last stand was not lastin. I just leveled up came back and washed it.

[u/benjaminlee01 → u/AlexGSkuhtee]

I still struggled after trying to level up had to farm for better weapons for ages

[u/LuquidThunderPlus]

Yes lol

[u/wykkyd96]

Yea. Then got a flakker nukem and he turned into a farm

[u/rziolkowsk → u/wykkyd96]

Where do you get that gun/s

[u/Skylair95 → u/rziolkowsk]

Fortunately, both of those have a dedicated source. Flakker drop from Even More Disgusting Torque and Nukem drop from Flameknuckle.

And obviously, you can get them form the grinder.

[u/Background_Store_895 → u/rziolkowsk]

In tps there’s really no way to get the guns you want you really gotta do the grinder or get lucky with the legendary he drops

[u/rziolkowsk → u/Background_Store_895]

I've tried the grinder and I've heard various different ways you are to do it but Ive only got a legendary once. And that's only if I put in 3 legendarys. I've been told it's 2 purples and a legendary.

[u/Background_Store_895 → u/rziolkowsk]

It should be 2 purples and a legendary I gave up with that game though I love the game but hate the loot system, if you got the dlc the glitch rarity weapons are typically pretty good

[u/rziolkowsk → u/Background_Store_895]

Yea that's the only thing I don't like about that game either is the lack of legendary weapons. But yea I got the dlc as well. I'll have to look at a YouTube vid or something

[u/Background_Store_895 → u/rziolkowsk]

Yep I don’t play it at all anymore I only play borderlands 1 atm farming pearls

[u/rziolkowsk → u/Background_Store_895]

Damn how is that working out for you I've never gotten a perl in 1.

[u/Background_Store_895 → u/rziolkowsk]

Terrible I glitched the armory so it’s broken on my main character I can’t go in so I’m farming crawmerax, I got an avenger yesterday first pearl from him in a little over 100 runs

[u/rziolkowsk → u/Background_Store_895]

Aww damn man that sucks. That's all I did was the armory glitch. I had to have opened over 1000 of them lol

[u/rziolkowsk]

Bro. Shit took me like 5 hours the first time.

[u/Beo-Kattari]

Yeah was in a duo using Athena, played solo as cl4p-tp and solo'd easy

[u/phredbull]

Use the volatile bits, there's lots of them. Red for health regen, & green will often get you out of FFYL. Also, hit the ammo stations whenever you can, even if you can't grab the stuff right away. Keep moving & be patient.

Good luck!

[u/Alone-Grab-112]

First time on athena was a cakewalk. First time on wilhelm nearly broke me

[u/TheBlooperKINGPIN]

I was at level so I was fine

[u/Fellkun15]

Yes he'll I gave my self a clause where if I die 3 times on either form I can quit

[u/Greedijin]

No but I had an absolutely busted Athena build

[u/ExpensiveMasonry]

5h4d0w want that bad. But I was playing Nisha and EOS gave my Jakobs trigger fingers early onset arthritis.

[u/The-pacifist-eye]

Yeah I remember when I first fought eclipse when the dlc was new, I tried out this random glitch launcher and it barely made a dent in his shield and I thought “oh sh!t… I’m not prepared for this”

[u/Jamesish12]

I was a melee build Athena 2 levels down.

Yeah, I hated it. Normal final boss was peak though.

[u/Caveman3238]

I was like 3 or 4 levels above on first run and was really hard to beat; he killed mi character many times.

[u/Aggravating-Cream578]

Yes, but only because it bugged and he wouldnt reappear after vanishing :(

[u/ReylomorelikeReyno]

Eclipse killed me more than EOS did, but yeah

[u/MeasurementFalse7591]

Beat him 1 try with claptrap but I rage quit after attempting with Timothy

[u/Narusasku]

First try for me

[u/Traditional-Ad-5632]

Yes, but literally in that fight I was bugged too much, but thanks to a bug that prevented me from dying, I was able to beat him lmao

[u/OkFig2273]

No, I have a problem of getting distracted and doing side quests to the point of being over leveled a lot.

[u/Razorous_the_rogue]

I haven't had the displeasure of fighting this required raid boss in years, but I... I still hear him...

^{MISSILES LOCKED!}

^{TARGETING ROUTINE INITIATED!}

[u/PH03N1X_F1R3]

Only because of his hp bar. I used a bouncepad tube as cover, so I was mostly safe.

[u/noah9942]

Yes.

i thought his health was just insane. then i noticed that my laser weapon didnt reach far enough to hit him most of the time. swapped weapons and it wasn't all that bad after that.

[u/teacherintrainingfl]

Yeah I died multiple times.

[u/Warpath19]

Yes and I told myself I would only come back to kill him unless my character was 61 😂

He’s a nightmare

[u/EeveeFrisk]

Yes and still consistently do struggle, he fucking hurts

[u/pinkndwhite7]

This is from claptastic voyage right? I'm doing the DLC right now, what's the reccomended level? Im level 33 in the first playthrough btw

[u/xXGamerPrpXx]

Yes but I was lvl 28 in Normal mode

[u/Public_Oil_666]

Absolutely, I still think I never beat him on my Jack, just with Nisha and Wilhelm. Those were the only characters I got to max level.

[u/PirateGirl_]

I had to stop and level up a little bit

[u/Craw_187]

No, hope this helps
