Terramorphous Safe Spot Broke?
So I managed to kill Terramorphous the other night but last night I had horrible luck I guess. Died so many times I didn't count. Had him down to a sliver and killed him while in FFYL but since he has to emerge and do his death animation apparently it didn't count and I died.

The main problem is both "safe" spots do not seem as safe as I remember. When the Boulder throwers show up you are screwed a lot of the time depending where they come up at. Ducking doesn't help in the safe spots as the boulders clip through the terrain. I don't remember having this much trouble a few years ago.

Did something change or have I been cursed?heh

Works fine for me. You just need to *ahem* GET GOOD!

I'll be leaving now...

I'm plenty good. Guess just bad luck for me. If the rocks didn't clip through the terrain I wouldn't have an issue. Maybe I'm too close or something, will give it another go to tonight and see how I fare.

No. Not broke. Not moved. Assuming you're using on-level gear and are at least level 50 in UVHM, I can't understand the problem killing Terra as long as you're using the right weapons on his tentacles and through the "10 Phases of Terra" himself. Mebbe a refresher course will help https://borderlands.fandom.com/wiki/You._Will._Die._(Seriously.) Have fun :steamhappy:

I think my setup is fine just bad luck with rocks.

I have a 4800x2 SMG with burst fire and it takes his health down at a decent pace with the Bee. Also have a Burning Infinity pistol for when my ammo runs out with SMG and Droog. Got a relic giving me 15% to shield and recharge rate. Using Slayer of Terramorphous class mod.

Using Gauge btw at level 50.

I have killed him a few times before solo. I just don't remember the rocks clipping like they are. Hmm I think I have a few ideas to try. Also probably wouldn't hurt if I tried farming a better Bee with higher capacity and recharge delay.

The fact that you think it's as easy as sit behind the rock and take no damage shows that you have probably never done this fight. It's obvious. Anyone here who knows how to do this can see it. But sure, claim whatever you want.

You forgot to mention your mode. You only mentioned Gaige Lvl 50 but you'd best be in UVHM or I'd forget about soloing Terra til you've entered UVHM at about 12+ levels higher than your current one.

I have killed him twice at least, almost had him last night but finishing his health in FFYL apparently doesn't count for second wind.

Check my content section and you can see some of the gear I have including my second Slayer class mod, my first one had 25% to fire damage and chance, the new one is only slightly improved at 26%.

I have found out from some research the Bee isn't best for Gauge so I am going to stack up Anarchy before the fight and slap on a better shield and see how things go. Sounds like The Hail might be worth getting as well.

The rock has never provided foolproof immunity for anyone. Ever. You claim this was once the case and that it must have changed somehow. Yeah right. Everyone who has done this using the rock knows how to use it: That you must move at times, and which way and when to move. These requirements to using the rock have never changed ever. It's that simple.

As one poster said, Git GUD. I would add, quit claiming BS. Muddy the waters all you want. You need to learn how to do this cause obviously you never knew.

It's been a while ok, I swore before there was a spot where the rocks wouldn't hit you at all.

You are just making yourself look like douche by the way, with your responses.

Yeah clearly I have never killed Terra solo, that is why I had 2 Slayer class mods, the newest which I just got the other night. Got lucky that night I guess as I only died a few times before killing him without rocks hitting me.

Before I beat him the other night it had been several years since I tried as I had been playing other games. Just got through the PRe-Sequel a month ago or so. Final boss there was gravy with the weapon you get from the Ghostbuster themed quest.

Thanks for all your great and wonderful input Dontu...........

Oh NormireX, it is you to thank for this idiotic post & thread - this is wholly on you. You got the answers you deserved. Mebbe you wanna try it again, sorta taking it from the top once again, in a more well-considered post? Go for it. So far as dontu_worry's comment, you shouldn't get so twisted over people's occasional soft sarcasm - it's the internet ferchrissakes. dontu is one of our old & true forum regs who has helped thousands of beginner players for years just as he tried to help you before you exploded at him which I assure you sailed right past him. Reread his para starting with "The rock has never ..." for there is wisdom there. You may want to stow all that self-righteousness where it belongs, stand up, do a jog around the house & return here if you must. But if I may suggest it, next time, keep your eye trained on the donut & not upon the hole. Salaams :steammocking:

It's OK. Exploding snowflakes are funny. Never gets old.

Wow what douchebags.... Feel sorry for you morons that have nothing better to do than wait around to jump in a thread and act like scum. You are exactly the kind of people Phil Spencer wants to come after.

Bunch of Simple Jacks up in here.
