(spoilers?) Calus Boss shield

[daveyboi]

i am doing legendary campaign on boss fight. How do I remove the shield from calus? The only way seems to be unloading about 30 mags into him until the shield dies.

For the normal campaign a single grapple melee takes his shield out, for Legendary you may need a couple more hits but it will be quicker than shootong him.

Keep your weapons infused to match power level and to me it seemed like it just took damage to remove the shield but I think Strand does more damage to it because that's supposed to be the point. Non-matched shield damage now does 50% less damage so its probably that.

I didn't realize it was a strand shield, i thought there was some weak point like on the new mini boss dudes (devourers or whatever the hell they called)

Just loaded in on Legend and Strand definitely isn't necessary to take his shield down, you were definitely just underleveled.

Outside of power-level, I found the alt-fire on glaive weapons to be /extremely/ effective. That, and the grenade mode on Quicksilver Storm.

It was still a nightmarish pain in the rear. Got it done at 4AM :pepeW:

There are forced mini phases or at least there is one forced time where his shield goes up otherwise there are tormentors to distract you.

Even on legendary with 3 people and being hela underleveled (My dumbass) we still had no issues taking down his sheild. 1 G-horn rocket does it easily. As does an AOE grenade or a if shots from something like a sniper or a grenade launcher.

He is right when i used wither and it was ticking damage his shield didnt went up.

calus was easy to kill, it was the tormenters that killed me all the time, and my dumbass falling off but i killed him lower leveled

Striga and other damage over time gets debuffed in second phase where the majority of the damage ticks will say "immune".

Pro tip; on legendary, Quicksilver Storm grenades do the same damage as nearly 2 linear fusion hits, can't imagine how much dmg that stuff would do on normal difficulty.

Yeah Quick Silver is always a good back up weapon to have. Very good on add clear due to large mag size, high fire rate and decent damage. And then the 3 nades aint bad for extra chip damage when you either dont have heavy/special or dont want to use it.
