A Dam Fine Rescue

[Nijn]

So to make it short, I was stuck on this mission because I couldn't defeat W4R-D3N and kept dying. I gave up but decided to give it a go again. I play completely solo as Maya, only level 12. I have pretty good weapons but the problem is that because I kept dying a long time ago, I barely have any money and I'm running out of ammo. So my first question is, am I allowed to leave the area? (I am at the prison as I didn't realise first I had to defeat it) Will this affect the quest? My other question is, does somebody have any tips on how to beat it alone?

How the christ did you get that far at only level 12?

I just followed the story and got there at level 12.

If you are at the chunk before you meet Roland, you can back track freely with nothing special happening.

If you met Roland and saw the Warden, then once you get out onto the Dam proper, an invisible timer or something starts up. Once it hits 0, Warden leaves the Dam, and moves to the Friendship Gulag area accessed from The Dust.

Being a Story Mission, it cannot be failed. Worst case, you have to go to the Gulag to rescue Roland, instead of saving him at the Dam.

So it's alright if I leave Roland in the Gulag to do some other stuff to level up?

Do the sidequests too man. There are some that gives you eridium, nice weapons or head customizations. Also the +XP is not a bad thing to be stronger.
And just rocket that warden to shreds on normal difficulty.

Yes u can do other missions/stuff, suggest getting a rocket launcher usually avail at lvl11 if u have not got one, plus a corrosive weapon if u can find one if not whatever puts out the most damage.

With this sort of mission (lots of enemies all the time) it's best to be a level or 2 higher if playing solo (although it can be done 1 or 2 levels BELOW as well.. depending on skill and playstyle etc). If you're getting your backside handed to you on a silver platter, then don't be afraid of doing a few side missions to level up, then head back. We've all done it.. or maybe it's just me ;)

Correct. The absolute worst case is that you have to run through the Dam before he gets moved to the Gulag, but the Dam has a 1-way/leaving-only Fast Travel station VERY close to where you fight Warden, so you can warp to The Dust to head to the Gulag.

I made it there at level 11. No wonder this was ass-rape hard. I just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ran past all the enemies on the dam because I was dying so much.

You just replied to a 3 year old thread. Good job.

Haha, what's happening? This is already the second time a +2 year old thread of mine was revived due to a reply in a week. I'm kinda confused as to how you guys keep finding these threads, haha. I don't mind, but please check the date of the thread next time!
