  • How to unlock In the Eye of a Murdercane

    This achievement requires that you "beat" the DLC. To do this, you need to defeat the boss located in the center of the map, indicated by the red skull icon. By the vending machines is a spot to drop into the boss arena. 
     
    Before you can stand a chance against the boss, you'll first need to obtain good enough gear. This is done by looting chests and killing enemies, just like in the main game. You'll start with absolutely nothing and spawn at one of a few set spots, but be aware that there will always be a white long weapon chest very close to where you spawn. You don't need to melee enemies to find weapons to start. Once you've gotten those (likely) white weapons and hopefully a shield from the nearby chest, you'll be in good shape to kill pretty much all regular enemies. Even the white weapons seem to be good. Choose an area of the map to go to (preferably one you haven't been to yet that's still grayed out, to make progress towards "Complex Made Simple") and kill enemies along the way, keeping an eye out for weapon chests. You could go to one of the treasure caches marked on your map, but I always ended up getting just as good gear from enemies as from chests. Once you have at least elemental green weapons or regular blue weapons, you're in good enough shape to beat the boss depending on your skill in the game. 
     
    As for the boss himself, he is the same every time you play a round. He has a blue bar of health for his shield that you must first deplete, then a yellow armor bar you have to take off second, and then a red health bar. Obviously having shock and corrosive weapons is ideal, but like in the main game, having enough firepower will get you through any fight. The arena is pretty small and you'll have to deal with regular enemies continually spawning. I found it best to hide behind one of the four pillars if need be to let your shield regenerate. Whittle down his health and you shouldn't have many issues. The boss himself doesn't do much damage to you once you remove his shield, so get rid of it as fast as possible, because the electricity dome he shoots is pretty strong. It's mainly the enemies that'll chip away at you constantly, so don't hesitate to take them out first. As soon as you beat the boss, you'll be victorious and this achievement will unlock.
