Ugh for fucks sake these DLC raid bosses. My friend and I finally take down Hyperius and decide to try Gee- after like an hour of that we quit- I come back later and say "gently caress it" and just cheese the bastard on my own. Hey guess what I got? Truckload 'o Eridium and a mess of green and white weapons and a blue shotgun. Useless. Screw farming this nonsense.

Gee is bugged to not drop Seraph Crystals. He can drop a similar amount of items compared to Terramorphous, but that's not guaranteed either.

no poo poo. I thought I might be able to solo Hyperius since I can solo Terra pretty easily. I can get him down to 1/3 to 1/2 before his cheese move gets me

I wouldn't mind so much if the rewards were actually worth anything- the Seraph weapons are fun, but nothing special really. Plus you need 120 to actually buy one. I got 7 crystals when my friend and I killed Hyperius.

Why does Terra and apparently this guy drop loads of Eridium when you'll have bought all the upgrades by the time you're able to kill them?

I'm guessing Eridium drops are just based on the monster's level and maybe some kind of 'boss' flag, rather than someone setting it to drop a bunch of useless bars.

If I happen to pick up the siren legendary mod I'll pass it along to you, though I don't really have anyone to spawn Vermivorous with at the moment so it's probably not going to happen anytime soon. I don't have the heads either at the moment, but if I come across them I'll certainly be willing to give those to you too.

If anyone is in the mood for killing anything, like Verm for example, I'm usually on during the day all week and during the evening for at least a few hours, EST.

I'm willing to do some stuff, I usually play on Wednesdays during the day and likely will be on Monday as well.

I should also be clear that I'm willing to dupe my stuff for goons if they want em, even if you don't have heads that I'm looking for. Just want to help out.

If I'm playing COD or watching a video I won't switch over, but if you see me playing BL2 send me a message!

The level 50 Lady Fist will do enough damage to the Warrior once you pop his chest plate weak spot that you'll stop him from using his attacks. Use an AR or SMG to pop the chest, then switch to the Lady Fist.

Otherwise, grab the biggest Hyperion shotgun you can find and drill the core.

It's a Zen thing, like how many babies fit in a tire.
Anyone have any good advice/techniques for getting Verm to spawn? We've tried a few times and gotten up to one Ultimate Badass spawned, but we can't seem to get that jerk to evolve after that point. I know his drop rate is crappy, but I'm never going to get the legendary siren mod if I can't even get him to spawn :(.

If you have the pirate dlc don't even bother with verm and just glitch the treasure room for it. I got the Siren, Mechromancer and Assassin legendary mod in there with little to no effort.

I do have the pirate dlc, but I can't get the treasure room glitch to work for me (I always fall to my death during the jumping part at the very end). I'm pretty much stuck with farming Verm, I think.

Edit: Hahahhahaha, got it to work, but I finished the dlc at around 39 so everything is spawning at around that level. Yay!

Well the one place I could think of trying to make him spawn is in caustic caverns since there's that one adult varkid flying to you at all times. I had it go up to the penultimate transformation but it stopped there so I just said gently caress it and moved on. The farmhouse in tundra express is also a good place but I've had no luck getting any past super badass let alone get there.

Just wait until the game freezes up when you kill him! His fight is so incredibly stupid. Kill worms, guide him through center of worm acid blood three or four times so his shields start dropping, hide behind rock by entrance, go make sandwich or post on the internet, swear at console when he dies and game locks up.

How do you know this, is there a video preview out yet?

The drop rate on legendaries is the only thing that properly pisses me off about this game. The combined legendary rate between all my characters (Salvador PT1 & PT2, Axton PT1, Maya PT1 & PT2) is 6. That's pathetic. My friends play on 360 whereas I play on PS3 so I can't use co-op to boost it. I don't like playing with non-friends as I don't use a mic so it's not as fun.

If they only do one more thing to this game, I hope they significantly increase the drop rate for legendaries.

I've been trying to spawn Verm for the past few days. It's good to know there is an easier way to get them. I was curious if they would drop there too. Since the bee is getting nerfed, what other shields are worth a drat? Also, do you think it is possible to get the Blood of Terra relic from the treasure room as well?

No poo poo. I've gotten more Orange drops from the treasure room then from bosses.

From the treasure room, I've gotten a:
Skullmasher
2 Conference Calls
2 Deliverances
Babymaker
Stormfront (seriously, who thought this was a good name?)

I've gotten the following to drop from bosses
Lyuda
Conference Call
Some pink unicorn skin for Zero
Bee Shield
A bunch of Terra class mods, but those are a guaranteed orange drop.

I'm sure I could get a Slagga at some point, as you spawn close to a catch a ride in the Dust and its a 10-15 second drive to kill the Hodunks. The Infinity pistol eludes me because it's such a pain in the rear end to keep reloading, and the same thing applies to try and get the Bonus package from Boom and Bewm. I can't get a Maggie (Legitly) because I chose to side with the Zafords. More often than not, it's a pain in the rear end to try and farm some of these bosses because of the trek to get to them, and it's going to be an even larger PITA with the bee shield nerf. However, I wonder if the Sandhawk is going to be captured in the nerf. It shoots 7 or 8 rounds at a time, but doesn't officially show that on the stat card. Farming Terra is much easier than with a CC.



If anyone wants to help out, I'll be on at 8pm EST. PSN is abaddonis. I'm really interested in a Hide of Terra, Maggie, Bonus Package, Infinity, Norfleet, Hellfire, and Blood of Terra.

Only orange relic I've seen is Breath or Terra (0.5% health regen/sec). Seen a couple purples (Moxxi's Endowment comes to mind), but that's about the extent of it.

It's a Zen thing, like how many babies fit in a tire.
So, in my quest for the legendary siren mod, I managed to do the treasure room glitch properly (thanks very much Gildersneeze for your lovely tutorial on that). However, since I went through the dlc for the first time early on in playthrough 2, everything spawns at level 39. Should I just go ahead and assume that I'm stuck with this and go back to banging my head against the Tundra Express Farmhouse until I can get stupid Vermivorous to spawn?

Thanks for all of the answers/suggestions so far, by the way. I knew I should have waited until 50 to play the dlc though :(.

The Sham is a pretty drat good shield for it's ridiculous absorb rate and the Hide of Terra is a drat good all rounder shield. You can use the Love Thumper to force shieldless skills to always be active or have a melee Zer0 murder everything with it. I highly doubt the Terra relic is in the treasure room since it seems like a very specific drop but I could be wrong.
