Say goodbyes (optional)

This part is optional, you can say your goodbye to almost everyone including Marcus, Ellie, Zer0, Ava and many more.

Most of them won’t give you anything, and those that do give, mostly hand out nonsense.

Like this guy Marcus who only gives one pack of free ammo. It’s probably a joke.

If you go to Moxxi though, she’ll ask you to try the slots and you’ll win a weapon.

The rest are mostly useless items. Hammerlock only gives a pistol.

Next, you’ll need to raise the tank pressure by turning the valves. The location of all 4 valves are shown in the map.

The first two valves are on the ground and are easily accessible.

After you turn the first two valves, two more Anointed soldiers will appear. Kill them first.

Once the area is secure, you need to turn the other 2 valves. Both of them are located at the top, one on the left and the other on the right side.

To get to the top, you’ll need to go either to the left or right first.

There’ll be two enemies on each side.

Find Troy

You’ll need to go all the way to find Troy.

bl3 - the great vault how to beat troy

 

Defeat Troy (boss)

Finally, you’ll get to fight Troy.

bl3 - the great vault how to not die in 1 hit - troy

The battle is pretty tough although his HP isn’t too high. It’s difficult because he can kill you in 1 hit.

If you get hit by any of those energy orbs, you’ll be incapacitated. Similarly, he can glide towards you and take you down in 1 hit.

Either way, you’ll probably repeat the fight many times.

bl3 - the great vault troy boss battle

If you do get into the “fight for your life” mode from getting hit by the orbs or whatnot, you need to immediately try to get second wind before you die.

Kill any of those regular mobs.

If you can’t find those Tinks to kill, look up in the sky. There may be bird creatures to kill and get second wind.

I don’t know of any regular way to not die immediately from those orbs, but if you’re Moze, the Iron Bear can withstand a couple of hits at least.

It’s mostly about reflexes and it’s especially important in this fight.

Troy also pairs up with Tyreen during the fight to create energy attacks from the ground. Avoid those glowing yellow energy balls (indicator) and you should be safe.

He also uses a wall of eridian energy. If you get caught in it, you’ll probably get incapacitated as well.

Don’t stand too far out and you’ll be safe.

Troy can also create a giant rock-like arm and slam it on the ground. Just run around to avoid it.

The easiest way to clear this boss battle is by joining a group.

That way, if some die, the boss fight will not restart as long as there are members still living in the arena.

 

Investigate ECHO device

Once Troy dies, pick up the ECHO device.

 

Talk to Lilith

Speak with Lilith.

 

Loot vault

Next, the vault door will open. Loot the vault.

Pick up the Eridian Analyzer inside the vault. There’ll be other regular loot as well.

 

Talk to Tannis

Go back out from the vault and speak with Tannis.

The mission completes here. You’ll earn cash and get an item as reward.
