        00. Farming the Leviathan (aka "How Marcus got his Loot back"(aaka "Fuck Raid Locks"))

After completing Treasure of the sands the first time you will be able to receive the mission a second time from the Oasis bounty board. You can farm off of the first mission run through but it will make it difficult to continue onto Hyperious and Gee without a lot of bullshit.

(Essentially this is a modified version of Duping on consoles)

If you've already killed the Leviathan see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Czw7WLgpf60

 

-Complete Treasure of the sands up until Scarlet turns on you and you must "Follow the Beacon".

-Fast travel to Wurmwater

-Go to your options menu and switch to a secondary save device.

-Use the Catch-a-Ride and travel to the Beacon

-Go through the motions and get to the Chest room

-Loot what you want and transfer it to an alt Via splitscreen or Online co-op

-Save and quit

-In the Main menu reselect your original storage device

-Load up and you should be at Scarlet's boat about to go to the beacon

-Repeat previous steps

-when finished Reload your character from your primary storage and transfer your Ill gotten gains to him/her and move onto another quest

-This will allow you to complete other DLC quests without ruining your farm

-If you don't like that this is in here go bitch about it on /vg/. We care, REALLY.

Important information

-Check to see if your shield explodes or anything similar when depleted, Geary hits hard and has no health

-respawning at a fast travel station Fails the quest, this includes Players joining the game.

-Opening the fast travel system (without using it) will NOT fail the quest.

-Dying will not fail the quest unless you respawn at a New-U station or fall into lava with the gear

-Who possesses the gear is not yet understood. Factors include who picked it up, who have been downed, the time of day, luck, and Jacks current mood.

-Being downed with the Gear may transfer ownership to the Reviver.

-Falling into the Lava with the gear destroys the gear and will end the quest.

-Do not assume you borked the quest and give up, you can still travel to Geary and if worst comes to worst he is a guaranteed head drop.

-The Center chest is guaranteed to have purple items.

-Using a sing Bandit technical to transport a full group is the safest travel method.

-Until you know the route, setting "kill yourself" or "to grandmothers house we go" will provide the same travel route as this guide save the mountain part.

 

 

        2.Vermivorous the Unspawnable

-The Final evolution of a varkid

-a cunt

Basic instructions

-find an area with a good amount of varkid

-aggro them

-run around and watch for them to pod up

-rinse and repeat till you have a Vermivorous

 

Important Information

-To farm Vermi successfully you simply have to get used to the timing of evolutions and know when to cut your losses.

-If any of your Vakrid have not podded at all after 2-3 minutes Reset them by leaving the area or killing them.

-Blood of Terramorphous Is not required to spawn Verni, but may improve the likelyhood of his evolution.

-Damaging them is not a prerequisite, neither is multiple Varkids, or Specific Varkids in specificquantities.*

-Varkid evolution is chance due to the ability to morph into vermi is a very low percentile.

-Suggested farm site is the caustic caverns, specifically the minecart tunnel for the Dahl minecart mission. In the entrance to tunnel there is a door that can be opened, Varkid are unable to enter but will remain aggro'd so long as the door remains open.

-It Is possible to spawn multiple Vermi's.

-This is a simple process to follow and success hinges on your own ability. If you are having trouble reference youtube videos to better understand how to farm Verm.

        -Splinter Cell (or should I say SHELL)-

After Visiting "Wildlife Exploitation Preserve" and getting your refresher on elemental effects Dr. tannis will have a new mission available at HQ.

After you have killed Lee, Mick, Dan, and Ralph proceed through to the room containing a tv, couch and gunchest. To spawn Flinter press the TV button three times, rotate the valve once, then pull the floor lever twice.

        -Minecraft Cavern-

In the Caustic Caverns there is hidden cave full of Stone blocks and Creepers, to reach this area you must travel to the most morthwestern section of the "Caustic Caverns". Here you will see minetracks that cross a bridged gap and lead to an unopenable area. Proceed to the right of the entrance over the square stones and down into a pathway, you will see Dirt minecraft blocks blocking the entrance. Once you break through you can fight multiple creepers until a Badass creeper shows up (can drop an Orange sniper or shotgun), all creepers drop Minecraft skins and heads.

 

        -A Sacrifice to The Gun God-

During the rescue of Roland you may have noticed some(as in a lot) of the bandits have started worshiping Marcus and even went so far as building giant statues in his honor. To show your appreciation Travel to the "Bloodshot stronghold" and fight your way to the "bloodshot ramparts" till you get to the location where you battled the Constructor holding Roland.

Unconfirmed: Sacrificing more people makes the loot better.

 

        -Character Back stories-

Ok, I tried typing this up, but its a big hassle to write out a detailed guide to show you where these ECHOs are, and it'd be more confusing then helpful in your search so I'll link to videos showing the Locations instead.

        -Baby bear & Momma Bear-

This is two semi related Easter eggs in Wildlife Exploitation Preserve. The first Easter egg is a small bear that has been torn in two and hidden, make your way south down to the docks. When you reach the stairwell that heads east you'll see a large radio antenna next to a mushroom, search the concrete base of the antenna behind the vine to reveal a teddy bear's head and take it. From that spot head north and jump onto the roof of the Electrified garage, you should see two yellow loot crates against another low wall to jump on. Search under the plant growing on the wall to your right to find the other part of the teddy bear, then  return to the garage roof and use the electric barrel to jump on the roof opposite where you found the other half. You are now able to place the Teddy on the pipe which will trigger the crane to (slowly) reach over and pull a giant Teddy from the boat in the harbor, and also allow you to ride (don't crouch) onto the building to reach a vault symbol.

 

        -Bear Minimum-

This mini-quest requires you to find 5 stuffed bears stuck in Stalker goo.

1. After entering the zone proceed south into the stream, follow the stream until it curves south into a passage covered in stalker goo, the bear is hanging from a boogy on the right hand wall.

2.After entering the Preserve via the damaged bridge make your way to the first building (Broke glass/blood) and look into the next area. You should see a mushroom to your left, right, and center, head to the center mushroom and free the teddy hanging slightly above your head.

3.the third bear is north of the vending machines is the centrifuge room. As you exit this room heading northwest up the ramp, turn to your left and jump onto the concrete ridge, hanging from one of the missing panels is another teddy.

4.Located West of the centrifuge building, kill the constructors to gain access to the animal holding building and enter the first animal cage  on your left. In the back right corner will be a hanging teddy bear that you'll have to jump to get.

5.Exit the animal holding building south by following the partially destroyed pathway. Proceed towards the chain link fence and search the mushroom closest to it, you will find the final teddy hand from it.
