Hardest challenge in the game? Try Harrow with melee only!

Post nerf of close combat trait + with wave of mobs. Pure melee fight. Probably hardest challenge you can imagine in this game right now! Harrows damage is way higher than I expected (second most powerfull armor in the game and you still losing like 80-90% HP in one single hit with AoE wave. All direct hits are lethal). I spend multiple hours (5,5 to be clear) with different weapons and periodic damage, but only Voice of the Tempest finally helps me to take down this monster of close combat! Main strategy is to make Harrow run out of stamina, so you need to dodge numerous attacks in short period of time and wait till correct moment to attack.
Harrow have multiple random patterns (depends of his current health): Running away and call horde, make pressure with runing messacre attack, or make deathwish capture (instant death if successful). There are mutlitple attacks (depends of range): AoE swing, multiple AoE hits (usually 3), side/back single hand swing (to hit enemeies in flangs or behind), running massacre, turn around swing.
Bigges problem is ALL of Harrow attacks have huge AoE in one way or another, so even with dodge you still have hight chance to being hit in other hitbox (behind or from the side).
Lucky me the have worst scenario - boss called horde of insects (its possible to skip this phase, but you know it wont be that epic anymore). To stop spawn of mobs you need to go in melee range with Harrow and let him start to attack you again. You will need to care of mobs left in area and focus on boss again. If you wont go to contact with Harrow at all, he will keep summon waves of mobs until you die. If you run far away he can start to call horde even with full HP or in time he usually dont do this. So stay close is the only way.
P.S. The only side buff I used is from hound master beef (+15% crit damage for 60 minutes).
Horrible and awesome fight in same time! Enjoy!

Try Leto's lab boss with melee in solo. This boss looks like impossible even with guns. With melee i think you just die in stunlock.

Leto's Lab boss you can obliterate in the matter of seconds using that graviton thingy weapon, if you do your aggro right. (At first I tought it is a bug, but I tested it several times and you can instantly go from 1st phase to 3rd phase.)
