How am I supposed to beat Son of Crawmerax?

[Nineteen]

I even respecced my Axton and farmed a bunch of explosive weapons, and I still can't beat this thing. My turret stays up for all of two seconds, and then I can't even kill the varkids that show up because this thing is beating on me. I watch videos of people soloing him, and he just sits there for him. When I fight him, he crawls around on the ground and chases me. Oh, and he one-shot kills me too.

I have a Slagga, Double Penetrating Unkempt Harold, Ravager, Badaboom, KerBlaster, Grenadier purple class mod, and The Bee.

Sand hawk with bee should kill him pretty fast I reckon

he is pretty ez ... the last raid boss is imposible

Are you doing the mission, or fighting him again after the mission? He seems to be much tougher after the mission (his "raid boss" form).

What mode are you playing in and what level are you? If you're not playing in UVHM, one option might be to level up and get higher level gear.

If you have the Mag-Lock skill, you can put the turret on the side of the cliff (the Longbow skill will help with that). Putting it off the ground can protect it from melee attacks from normal enemies, but I don't know if it will help with SoC. The Longbow skill also doubles the turret's health, and Phalanx gives it a shield, so it can survive longer. And Double Up gives you 2 turrets, for twice the distraction.

Between SoC and the minions, a Bee may not be the best shield choice, since it may be down a lot of the time.

With zero I got him with roid boosted melee spam with a bladed grog and a rapier. It was tougher to beehawk it with maya. For zero all the spawn helps, it gives him other things to melee to restore health. But for maya its the death of a thousand cuts, the bee is down down down all the time. I never played axton to higher levels or thru that dlc.

Here are some notes i have about maya's fight with SoC.

*** Craw
resists all on his outer shell
use fire, shock, or explosive
bee
resists corrosive and slag on belly
crit spot are purple orbs

Maybe you could use explosive weapons (harold and ogre) along with grenade+explosive damage buffs that axton gets via class mods and skills?
