S3LF-Eater Guide [ Simple Way to Do It ]

[ Big Spoiler Alert For Those Who Wants to do the thing Their Self ]
This is how I have done it and how simplest way I can explain to yall

1. Starting the mission

In order to start the campaign, you must first finished the main campaign. After that go to Science Tower location of the map. Go the left side of the map and you will see Security and { something something } Building. Go Up the stairs and you will find a new door with Blue Neon Marking on it. Just go in there. You can read some lores and such and keep going inside until you see a Shrine with a Clockwork theme Sword stuck inside it. Take it and you will start the campaign.

Starting this will spawn S3LF-Eater to hunt you. He can one hit kill you with his charge attack so make sure to have another companion that you can switch to when he grabbed you. You can save your grabbed companion by pressing E From Behind

2. Kill it to progress

S3LF-Eater is freaking Tanky. My best advice on killing it is Close Quarter while your companion shoots it. Time your blocks so it won't use his charge attack. That's my best advice.

Just HIT IT UNTIL IT DIE

3. Cyber Bandit Shrine & Cyber Marking

After killing it, it will lead you to one of the Sectors of the Nexus City. It's random because I got Industrial Sector and my Friend got Residential Sector . Go to the sector that you get and you will see a portal in that sector ( it will always be there so don't worry about it moving ). Go in there and kill those bandit and interact with the book on the shrine. You will be told to find 5 Cyber Marking things.

I am not sure if the Cyber Markings are static or random. For me, I got them in this order.
1 in Science Tower.
2 in Mining Sector.
1 in Outskirts.
1 in Residential Sector.

If you don't know where they are, you can kill the S3FL-Eater for hints. It's hard but it's the only way to know where the Markings are.

4. Forging the Sword

After getting the markers you can go back to the Cyber Bandit Shrine. The locked door will now be open. Progress normally until you see another Shrine. Kill the Half-Mag bandit and interact with the Shrine. You will be told to get the sword parts.

Warning :This Part is what confuses the others but this is how I think it works

So, when finding the sword parts. I believe you may need to kill the S3FL-Eater because the locations that I get is not the same as my friend again. The Sword Part Portals are random I believe.

In order to know where they were, you NEED to kill S3FL-Eater for it.
Once you kill it. It will give you a Sector. Go to that Sector. Kill S3FL-Eater again just to make sure that you are in the right Sector. If it gave you a Sector that you are already in it, that's mean you are in the right Sector to search for the Sword part.

Because when I killed it, It gave me Mining Sector. I searched for it but to no avail. So I killed it again and it gave me Commercial Sector, that's when I found the Second Part of the Sword.

So, Kill S3FL -> Get Location -> Kill it again to confirm, if not go to the location that it gave you > if hint Location is where you are at. Run around the map to search for the portal ( it's not hard to miss, it's a giant Blue Portal coming up from the ground.

The Sword Parts go accordingly.
Hilt. Handle. ( I forgot this one, Somesort of holder). Blade.

Remember, if you reach the Sector that it gave you, make sure you kill S3FL-Eater again to confirm that you are in the right sector.

5. Killing the S3FL-Eater

Once you get all the sword parts go back the Sector where you have your Bandit Shrine. Go all the way back to where that Half-Mag Bandit is in. Interact with the Shrine and Forge the Sword. You now have a way to kill it.

S3FL-Eater has 3 Corpus. It's still Tanky but I won't Spoil how it fight. Have fun fighting it and getting the kill.

Once you are done killing it, take the sword back to the place where you started the Campaign and place it back.

You have officially beaten the update DLC.


I hope this helps. If you guys found easier ways, be sure to let others know in the comments. :D

Pro Tips From The Comments

• Farm The Laser Guns. Those things SHRED the S3FL. If wanted, do a mission that have 4 players and leave the mission. Go to Cyber Bandit Portals and get those Laser for each of your companions.
  
• Thanks to Velmi Artrid in the comments for this. I didn't even know about this.
  At the top of the Science Tower a Dissonance Lancer (+2 clips), Heavy Laser Rifle (+2 clips), 4Pack, and Züker spawn in every time you reset the area. This is useful to know because the S3LF-Eater, being a thing that is made of matter, is deathly allergic to anti-matter.
  
  Assuming you hit all your shots, the D-Lancer alone can shred down the S3LF-Eater before you can touch the third mag! Even if you somehow manage to whiff more than you hit, you have three additional high-damage weapons to back you up.
  
  It may be a long run to go all the way back up the Science Tower and then back down to go to your next area, but I can guarantee the damage output makes it worth the extra exercise. Personally, I liked to keep the extra weapons on me for Step 4 so I could make those fights even faster as well.
  
  Hope this speeds up the process for anyone trying to complete this DLC in the future! Good luck!

Also the Sheriff has infinite reloads with all ranged weapons.

Since you have to beat the game for this anyway if both characters get gibbed run back to the outskirts and check the last mural in the basement of the mart there to watch the credits again. It'll throw you back in the safe zone with Jebus and the Sheriff.

And learn to dodge if you haven't already. I admittedly don't really use it much either but man does it help against that bastard.

a note for players new to s3fl eater:

in part 2, the cyber markings are random, as ive checked the outskirts and the science tower, and i got 2 from the industrial sector i believe its called, also, the area jebus and sheriff meet, is NOT, connected to the s3_l eater update, meaning if you want a break from the s3_l eater, just run to that place and your good. my locations were:
1 in residental
2 in industrial
0 in science tower
2 in mining sector *one vanished after fighting the s3_l eater and zeds, meaning they teleport.*
0 in the outskirts
0 in the abandoned sector
hope that helps, ill try and update this as i play through the s3_l eater

Sheriff is broken use him.

[Doggarunner]

I didnt have to kill the Self Eater more than twice. Once to initiate and another to end. You can find the markers and burrows anywhere if you just explore. For killing the Self Eater i just spammed prima blade.
Personally I did not like going on a scavenger hunt

[NonstickSQYD]

this was such a disappointing update

[mines]

thanks man ! i did it and i worked !

[Sketchhead]

also, BR, check out other ways to go around the bridge. even at science tower there was a hidden (for me) lever that led me directly to the elevator on opposite side of ground level map

[Sketchhead]

also recommend using sheriff with any firearm, because for some unknown reason this guy has unlimited ammo capacity and can reload weapons without any ammo left in his pockets

[mines]

theres a part on the residential sector with a bridge but the bridge its not down
what i should do to make the bridge go down ? new game ?
