I am currently level 39 and my character is: Wilhelm
I gave jack the key which turns out was not jack and then you have to
fight the giant robot again… The furthest ive got is when his shield
recharges for the 2nd time. But I keep dying… its really hard and
frustrating
Rocket launchers are no good and they dont even touch him
Please please please can somebody tell me how to do this?
or even help me?
Xbox one GT: T3ddy B4gW3LL, I currently have no mic… but if anybody is
willing to just help me kill him please can you send me a msg and il
invite you
I am pulling my hair out and wondering why they made a
enemy/boss Sooooo hard and difficult. its making me go off the game and
avoid it… Ive been trying to kill him since Tuesday
There is a search feature you know, works pretty well:
Anyway, a good all-round tactic is to find one of the two vertical tubes with jump-pads underneath them, (they’re off to the sides of the main bridge), and just bounce up and down. You can use a slam to stay in the tube so that none of his attacks get you, but otherwise you can shoot at him at the bottom or at the peak of your bounce. At that point it’s a question of ammo. Do watch out for his minions, they manage to climb under you sometimes, but you can mostly ignore them too.
Another general tip: use glitched guns (the ones with ones and zeroes flowing on them). You get several during a playthrough of the DLC (or if you really don’t have anything you like, kill the Denial Subroutine, or grind 3 glitch guns to get a new one). They are very powerful on their own, and when a special effect kicks in, things generally get wrecked.
One recommendation I would make would be to use a Gun Damage Moxxtail from Concordia. It’s a shlep to get back to the arena after downing it, unfortuantly.
I can barely get health damage on Shadow Trap (which is apparently the first of three forms) and admittedly, it is infuriating. Unjustifiably hard. I am playing a super tanky Wilhelm, and dying very quickly. I’ve tried other specs, other weapons, and “farmed” for a shock bull pup for far too long, just to get 7 fire versions and zero shock versions. I really don’t get how GBX thinks this is cool for a final boss. A raid boss being nigh impossible to beat solo I understand. But a mission boss? It sucks the fun out.
I can help, lvl 70 Wilhelm, diogenes49 on steam, will be on Monday afternoon, Central time US. Also, you are killing those little surveyor drones that fly around him, right?
Oh, we made it through that fight, but I stayed glued behind cover for all it … only peeking up to take pop shots when I had the chance. Longest Eclipse fight I’ve ever had.
My brother and I are having difficulties defeating Phase 1 of Shadow Trap as well. We are in UVHM, both at lvl 65, so natually Shadow is lvl 67. He’s using Nisha and I’m using Clap Trap (awesome combo choice, btw!). We spent over an hour only to chop off 20% of his HP, and that was with only one time successfully depleting his shield. We are completely frustrated. He teleports away practically every 30 seconds, we lose him, then his shield regenerates completely. Is there a way to reduce how often he teleports? We aren’t sure if maybe fighting right in front of him makes him feel the need to retreat; maybe keeping a good distance away? We have good glitched guns so doing damage isn’t a problem, we are good at staying alive/second-winding, and ammo isn’t an issue because my “Gun Wizard” program in my Action Skill replenishes 100% of both of our ammo when we get low–it’s ripping his shield off which feels almost impossible due to his never ending teleportation.
Ok, something that makes the fight WAY easier on all levels of difficulty:
Upon entering the boss arena from the vendor room, if you go down and to the left off to the side, there will be an octaganal (8 sided) island with a jump pad on it, with 4 or 5 ammo restocks in the vicinity around it.
The jump pad on the 8 sided island takes you straight up into a tube.
While you are in this tube, you are completely protected from all attacks in all his phases ( his crazy purple / pink laser MAY hit you through the bit of gap in the bottom ). Just keep bouncing up and down in this tube.
When you emerge out the top, unload on him. While you are travelling up and down through the tube, reload.
If you dont want to take damage or need to let your shields reload, simply buttslam back down onto the jump oad before you emerge from the top of yhe tube and you will not be exposed to any fire.
You WILL get knocked out of the tube sometimes, but it’s very easy to get back into it.
I was able to beat him with Wilhelm at level 33 (boss was 36) using this method, and with other chsracters it’s probably even essier.
EDIT: Thanks to @Greasy_Broccoli for turning me on to this life-saving technique!
Hey Eddy I got passed the eclipse part and he was easy but the second part when he like a Helios station well I got him down to the 3rd shield generation for the 3rd time and then that’s when I get killed
