Whilst not being all that difficult to bring down, Terramorphous offers some great loot, and is situated in one of the best arenas there is.įollowing on from Wotan, Scourge the Invincible Martyr is the second raid boss to grace Borderlands 3, and takes the form of a massive and incredibly deadly Eridian Guardian. Taking up the role of the first raid boss in Borderlands 2, Terramorphous is a huge Thresher that will whip and smack you right back to the digistruct spawn pylon. To this date, Terramorphous the Invincible remains my personal favourite raid boss in Borderlands, as it was the first that I ever encountered. Grab yourself a Sand Hawk SMG, line-up Hyperius' Loader-bot minions and fire a few rounds through and this boss will drop almost instantaneously, which is quite a shame since Hyperius is one of the few Seraph Guardians. Hyperius the Invincible, whilst being a personal favourite of mine, gets knocked quite significantly due to how easy it is to insta-kill this boss with Zer0's Bore mechanic. Wotan spawns shield after shield after shield, all whilst reigning hellfire on you, which basically means you're going to need a shock elemental weapon if you want to stand a chance here. This gigantic robot, whilst featuring a whole range of exciting new mechanics, only cracks the tenth spot due to its super annoying shields. Marking the first raid boss to grace Borderlands 3, Wotan the Invincible made its first appearance as part of the Takedown at the Maliwan Blacksite DLC. The ability to be able to create one of the monsters anywhere Varkids can be found allows the fight to always be that little more unique, despite the fact that it won't pose as much of a threat as the other traditional bosses. This ugly bug can be created by letting a Varkid reach the Supreme Badass stage on True and Ultimate Vault Hunter, and that's precisely the reason why it's ranked so high. Haderax the Invincible joined the Borderlands 2 party late, in the Commander Lilith & the fight for Sanctuary DLC, and whilst offering a new challenge, compared to the Seraph Guardians that came before, Haderax doesn't quite live up to the hype.Īs far as challenge goes, Vermivorous the Invincible is perhaps the least threatening raid boss of them all.
The Invincible Sentinel does transform into the The Invincible Empyrean Sentinel when you whittle down enough of its health, elevating the challenge of the fight, but with some real titans coming up, this one just doesn't quite stack up.įighting one of those massive sandworms from Dune has always seemed pretty cool, but when you are a Vault Hunter equipped with massively powerful weapons, it turns out the fight isn't all that fair. This ancient being is just a stronger version of a story boss, and despite having some pretty interesting mechanics, we don't ever really feel the call to jump back in to fight this one. The Invincible Sentinel / The Invincible Empyrean SentinelĬonsidering The Invincible Sentinel is all that Borderlands: The Pre Sequel brought to the table in terms of raid bosses, it wasn't all that special. Sure, he makes for a great place to farm Badass Tokens and loot, but for a raid boss, he feels lacking compared to the competition.ġ3. This boss is basically just an upgraded version of Pyro Pete and is super easy to take down, provided you don't get too close to him and can withstand his elemental damage. Someone had to take the bottom slot, and for me, this is without a shadow of a doubt, Pyro Pete the Invincible. Needless to say, a wave of memories flooded back over me, memories that cost me billions in digistructing fees, but it did give me the idea to rank each of the 15 raid bosses that have made an appearance in a Borderlands game to date, in my own personal opinion of course. This vicious Varkid once again made me realise that I was in fact not the biggest badass to wander the galaxy, and it made me think back to the countless times when I deluded myself into that very same false sense of security. While the murder mystery storylines are daft and fun to play, myself, being a lunatic, was instantly drawn to the call of the new raid boss, Hemovorous the Invincible. With the Borderlands 3: Director's Cut launching just a few weeks ago, I've once again fallen back into my vault hunting habits to explore all the new content the expansion has brought along.
