The Invincible one (2nd fight, the raid boss). Regular Pete was simple, this one not so much.

Fair enough. I just finished Regular Pete myself, so no raid boss yet.

I know Gaige had guitar solos before, did they add new ones?

So, after 20+ attempts, I finally managed to solo Pete the Invincible. My loadout was as follows (as Siren):

Dastardly Maggie
Conference Call (Shock)
Norfleet (Explosive)
Sticky Homing Bonus Package
Ability Cooldown Relic (~34%)
Grounded The Bee

Norfleet rocket launcher pulls duty as stand-in for Bonus Package grenades when I run out. Start with Phaselocking (Ruin tree) to put Slag on, CC his shields away (two to three full clips). Switch to Maggie, reapplying phaselock as needed and run like hell. I alternate water switches to keep from having a Lv 61 spiderant/rat appear for as long as possible. In a pinch, either use the Norfleet at close range for a second wind or use the CC for that purpose. Took me about 5 minutes on the fight I won, about two hours or so total.

It's difficult but doable. He dropped the Whiskey Tango Foxtrot shield for me, about 15 Seraph crystals, and no Torgue tokens.

Your stategy (and rewards) may vary, but I thought I'd present my example here for reference.

Run around a lot, shoot down the missiles.

Wasn't that hard for me, but I'm in a normal run, at level 29, and playing as Gaige (so DT would distract it). 41% adaptive shield was useful.

Wouldn't a Pistol Aggression mod or something that boosts cooldown something better than an increase in pistol fire time? The Maggie already fires as fast as you're able to pull the trigger

You could use it but the sheriff's badge also gives you a boost to fight for your life time. I had the legendary assassin mod so cooldown wasn't an issue for me. You don't have to use this setup since others have done it with other stuff so experiment if you want.

Which drop is that? If it's the Slow Hand, that also drops from Badassasaurus Rex.

It's the Cobra sniper rifle which I thought was a quest reward but nope.

Tell your friends we're coming for them

Hello! I think I broke my game and I can't find any information from googling.

I just started my second playthrough with zero (true vault hunter mode?), I am level 40 because I was hanging out with a level-50 friend in his game to chat and I leveled up while I was there. So I start a new game+ and the enemies are at 35-38, which seems about right because I overleveled a little. But the Get Bullymong Fur mission was an impossible level 50. I finished it anyway because the bullymongs I found were level 36. Then the midge-mong mission was level 50, and going that way the bullymongs right after the electric barrier were level 50. I tried to continue with the mail mission, but after boom bewm all the enemies are level 50 too.

I'm guessing the game got confused because I was in my friend's game? But that was on playthrough 1, and I didn't create a playthrough 2 until after that. And the start of playthrough 2 was fine. So I'm doubting that restarting a playthrough 2 would fix it. Is there anything I can do?

The whole 'ultimate coward' spiel felt a little ironic after I spent most of the boss battles in the DLC hiding behind things. In TVHM they can kill you so quickly and there's often no way to avoid damage if you try and take them on directly.

I know TVHM is supposed to be a challenge, and that the game isn't really balanced for solo play, but some of these fights just felt badly designed.

Piston himself was a fun fight at least! Running circles around him and backing off from his jump attacks, more of that please gearbox!

I breezed through Pyro Pete and the Flyboy fight. Motor Momma, on the other hand... well, I guess I didn't need to have money anymore. God drat the second phase was infuriating.

I had more trouble with the first phase since there's next to no cover. Dunno what she does in the second since I one shotted her in the back of the head. The personal troll actually gave me a hard time and made me pull out the bee to end his rear end.

Edit: Other folks are saying since the boss fight only happens once if he doesn't drop it, reset the game without saving.

I want to say that was a quest reward for one of the DLC missions. I have a slag version at does approximately 15k damage. I never use it anymore now that I have a skullmasher

You're right. The link says it is from "Don't Copy That Floppy." I remember I had to quit the game and restart the mission because the enemies stopped spawning and I couldn't get all of the discs.

Yes, loot was supposed to fly out of the grate in the middle of the arena. It's a bunch of whites and greens with one or two blues/purples and the very occasional orange.

So apparently there's a limit to how many times you can gently caress with the system clock for the raid bosses. My date is at December 1st and it just tells me to try again tomorrow even when I change it to 3 days later. I was six crystals away for the shooting star too.

I bought the season pass to this game, I've never done that before. I like BL2 that much.

Last night I was randomly playing with a Japanese guy, I wanted to hear how the localization was over there, with us simultaneously playing the game but in different languages, that was fun.

One annoyance though: NG+ is a lot more fun than the first time through I think, but I want to try just NG+ as a different class. I wish I could respec my character into a different class...

Yes. The Hide of Terramorphous is a roid + spike + nova shield, and the Blood of Terramorphous is a relic that adds +0.5% health regeneration. I've killed him at least fifty times without seeing either. I think his orange drops are on Warrior-level rarity.

I must have gotten really lucky then because I got a Hide both times I've actually killed Terra. And I got the Commando class mod the first time too. (I was playing Axton, so that was nice.)

On the other hand I killed the Warrior more times than I could care to count and got a single Flakker for my troubles. Thankfully a nice goon gave me a corrosive CC for helping him with something a while ago. And then a dozen other oranges just because.

He also drops the Teeth of Terramorphous shotgun (http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Teeth_of_Terramorphous) which has red flavor text but actually is a blue item (so people should check their blue drops from Terra too)!
