Borderlands: Crawmerax

[dthvirus]

Earlier today, I was trying to kill Crawmerax in the third Borderlands DLC. I have no idea how any of the character classes, save Lilith are supposed to defeat that thing solo without glitching. Sure, Borderlands is a co-op game, but they shouldn't lock out the best loot in the game to people who can't get a party together.

So, has anyone else killed the damned thing solo without Lilith or a glitch? I'm gonna author an angry e-mail to Gearbox sooner or later...

Pff, it can't be that hard, unless your tactics are run and run. I know the third dlc is hard but... bosses should be hard like fuck, let's take the last boss of ratchet and clank 1. That one took me 6 months to kill.

I don't know, but isn't that a welcome change from the last boss in the vanilla Borderlands?

That was the easiest boss of all time.

I don't know the boss in question, but my tactics or 'Unleash explosive hell on it from a distance, get in closer with something automatic and finish it with shotgun' works with every boss up until now.

Perhaps there's something special about this one, I don't know.

One of my friends said he was able to solo it as a maxed out healing soldier, because his turret and large amounts of health kept him safe for most of the time.
I was able to 2 man it, but it wasn't that tough.

Yeah, I'm running a L61 Mordecai. I don't have the health to take the hits. One whack drains my 2330 DR shield and about 900 HP. And don't get me started on the colour-coded worms.

This difficulty whiplash isn't exactly welcome. It's like munching away on your favourite candy only to find someone replaced the last piece with a tasty-looking rock.

I ripped out his heart with my soilder, it did take a lot of shots though...
