My healt6h won't go above 595. It use to for a long time. any one have any ideas?

I cant kill the m ain orc in the battle where I am trying to save the queen. I have done everything I know of it just won’t die. I am even using deathtrap and 12,000 gun. Any suggest would be helpful. This is the battle in the forest. Borderlands 2

Thank you in advance

What battle in the Forest to save the queen? Are you trying to get past the orcs to get to the blood fruit so you can get to the next area, or are you trying to do the side mission where you have to protect the sapling?

If you’re talking about the Duke of Orc…

  • he’s vulnerable to fire and has no shield, so slagging and then a fire weapon will hurt him…eventually

  • he won’t chase you after awhile if you run…you may be able to find a spot just outside of his range and snipe him

  • in the end tho, he’s a big guy and has huge health…he won’t be a pushover, no matter what strategy you use

Does indeed sound like the Duke of Orc, who will always out-level you. And he is indeed tough the first time around!

One thing to note is that he can get stuck where he can’t hurt you:
• In the mine, back up across the bridge and then drop down onto the rock ledge
• Alternatively, cheese him around the pit in the middle of the camp, but don’t fall in it!
• In the lumber camp/forest, he can sometimes glitch onto a fence in the higher level where he spawns if you’re in the lower level
• Alternatively cheese him round the middle section of the camp

And keep doing what @kenloe said!

In the mine, what works best for me is to lead him back to the entry area, where the fast-travel and vending machines are; there, I run up the ramp (be sure he’s following you) and off the ledge by the machines and then wait where I land. He won’t follow you off of the ledge, instead he goes back down the ramp, giving you a few seconds to fire on him. When he gets close, run another lap or two and do it again. It takes a few minutes but it works for me every time. If you have a Lascaux, this is a good time to use it.
