how do you defeat saturn?

[▙▘▚ ▜ ▞ ▟ ▚▝ ▛]

this is the first time ever having problems with it, gaige on op 8, cant seem to find a critical spot

[pill cosby]

Saturn doesn't have crit spots. I just hide behind the buildings and beehawk him.

[▙▘▚ ▜ ▞ ▟ ▚▝ ▛]

WELL THAT SUCKS

all i ever do is aim for criticals

[pill cosby]

Yeah he's one of the harder bosses to deal with on higher levels.

[▙▘▚ ▜ ▞ ▟ ▚▝ ▛]

well, im good. figured it out myself

You can actually just bypass him. Just in case that would be useful.

Edit: just saw you're talking about OP8, so nevermind what I said.

wasen't not trying to bypass tho

Weird. Since you're on OP8, you've already dealt with two Saturns simultaneously on the Peak. How did you manage back then?

honestly this is was the first time dealing with a saturn alone on mechromancer

[LightChaosman]

And this here, is why you should solo the peak

OP8, Saturnd does not solo you.

And you should solo it. To avoid being weaksauce. You know, to be one of the elite.

[LightChaosman]

Clearing him in the peak at OP7 difficulty should give you enough knowledge to get past him on OP8 (@ arid nexus), especially since in most cases, a player's OP8 gear is much better than what they have when they do the OP7->8 peak. (In my case at least)

easy, hide where nothing from him can get you and corrode him till his robotic testicles fall off

In other words in levels OP6 and or OP7 your mech attained OP8 due to your teammates' efforts. I believe this is specifically why dontu recommended soloing the peak all the way from OP0 to OP8 (as I did to you about five months ago) - playing solo forces you to learn new strategies for handling the transitions up to the next levels. Had you solo'ed your first round meeting Saturn on DP, you'd have no problem handling the multiple Saturns that can appear at OP8. New advice in this string that may prove helpful is to maintain an offensive front of continuous corrosive however your mech's Skill Tree and collection of OP8 arms best allows.

Just a small correction Zen -- Saturn is immune to slag. He'd be better off just going with corrosive. Other than that I agree.
