Any way to level up bosses?

So when I first beat the campaign on normal mode i went back to farm on the snowman boss he was level 27 and i was 33 i checked the bunker boss he was 26 and i want to know is there any way to raise the level of the boss without changing to true vault hunter mode and i’m ps4 by the way and if i do need to change the difficulty do i stay in that difficulty or can i change back to normal and the boss will have a higher level and do i have to finish the campaign in true vault hunter mode to make the bosses level up.

In normal mode all regular enemies and bosses are locked to the initial area level. In TVHM, everything stays at level 50 once you finish the campaign. You can go back to normal and TVHM any time you like, but the enemies will always be the same level they were when you first entered the area (or level 50 in TVHM), no matter how much you may have leveled up since then. Only in UVHM the enemies will scale to your level. And yes, you need to complete the campaign on both normal and TVHM to unlock UVHM. Only then the enemies (and the loot they drop) will keep leveling up with you.

I also heard that you need to get tourge tokens and buy stuff with them levels the boss up is that true and Thanks

You can only get and use Torgue Tokens in the Mr. Torgue Campaign of Carnage DLC. They drop from badass enemies. Once you have a decent amount of tokens, you can use them in the Torgue vending machines to buy random Torgue weapons (including Legendaries). Torgue tokens do absolutely nothing to level up bosses. It’s just a different type of currency exclusive to that DLC and nothing more.

Let me also add that you also get Torgue tokens for every Barroom Brawl that you complete- eventually you’ll earn 20 at a time after completeing the brawl, and you can do it indefinitely…

Plus you can usually find 10 at least while doing it.

Stuff is so packed together that a Norfleet CRUSHES barroom brawl.

I finished the campaign on TVHM and none of the bosses leveled up and im lvl 50 currently am i doing something wrong?

If you finished TVHM, every enemy should be around level 50 now. Then in UVHM, they will keep leveling up with you. Are you sure you are in TVHM? In normal mode all the enemies will remain at their initial low levels, even if you finished TVHM. Try selecting your character again on the start screen and choose TVHM to keep playing at level 50 or start UVHM to continue leveling up (which is advisable - if you wait too long, your weapons will be severely underleveled once you start UVHM).

That DLC seems to have some scaling issues as I have experienced that issue myself. I am not sure if there are other DLCs with that issue but it seems that sometimes the level is just locked in TVHM no matter what you do. Even if you’ve never started that one and only do so after finishing TVHM it’s just locked for some reason.
As the trigger for the scaling TVHM has already been set I assume there’s simply no way to get this DLC to scale. You could probably try with another character and hope for the best or just start UVHM, there are no scaling issues there for sure.
