Its not the First time. In the D1 Strike with Valus Taaurc you could hide in ramp with a few Boxes and just Camp the Boss dead with Icebreaker(Sniper with Infinite Ammo). Cheese is a Part of Destiny.
@@Esoterickk nah mean he’s so right. You’re a fucking badass and have helped out countless guardians. On behalf of ALL of them I give you much respect and thanks 😊
You have saved the sanity of my friend and I. After the "Strand Trial" which had us ready to rage-quit, this fight was lookin' to claim that honor. But your video helped us so much! Thank you for being the best Guardian you can be!
you can just swap to another subclass after u get strand empowerment that damn mission really stressed me out too, but this realization allowed me to put on void and go to town on the last guy
I'm happy I stumbled past this I just got to the boss fight, I haven't died to any of the enemies but I keep flying off the map, thank you for this I look forward to trying it
While using the cheese I noticed occasionally he would go back to center and I'd have to reset him again by shooting towards the platform again, but it worked
PSA: Loreley splendor helm works with Strand during the campaign missions, as long as you have the Solar subclass equipped. Grants a lot more survivability on strand Titan
Yep this is what I ran. Osteo striga to keep a ticking dot on calus preventing shield regeneration, good ol Cartesian coordinate for chunky burst if needed, then a hothead for quick burst on calus during second phase. Took about 15-20 attempts to do legit but worth it!
The Loreley Splendor build is still just completely busted lol. I breezed through Lightfall's legendary campaign with it. The hammer does insane damage that heal you a ton, and the sunspots also heal you as well as ad clear. Just spamming hammers makes you literally unkillable lol
The entire time I was doing this, i kept thinking how boring it was, but then I realized I'd much rather be bored running it oncet han be pissed running it 200 times, thank you
Thanks so much for this! As a casual player I found this mission just too challenging and really tedious, not fun at all after a few attempts. So thanks for getting me through 🙂 A few rockets in phase two gets the job done quick too
This was a tough fight but I managed! If it helped, I used the usual double fusion well warlock with starfire. It's such a basic build but it worked effectively (I didn't use any cheese). I realized what killed me most often is the dangerous platforming, I fell down wayyyy too many times. So I didn't use any Strand or grapple stuff.
Callus is able to hit thru the steps sometimes in the first part of the encounter and if you decide to go for the tormentors make sure you keep track of them. They hop onto the platform on the left and can use the scythe attack to hit you.
They can, but I didn't find they were hitting me consistently enough to be a threat. Worst case I found walking forward on the pipe to break their line of sight, causes them to jump back to the center platform to try and get at you.
Calus wouldn't move for me either so I had to spam threadling grenades to kill him. Also, the tormenters tried to flank and chip away my health when they weren't trying to knock me off the pipe with double suppressor dives.
Dude. It works so great. I used Osteo and pleiades corrector but any scout in energy slot will work great, because on 2nd phase where you’re stuck in the bubble, calus ends up having his face perfectly placed so you can just face shot him with ease. Shoot osteo, get the poison going, switch to scout get headshots all day. ❤
Thank you so much for this, I did this twice, in a fireteam with my Titan and solo with my warlock. I truly tried to do it with my hunter but I kept getting pushed off the map and got sick of it. Again, thank you mate. Respect
Took me 3 hours in previous method , as it was hard to execute phase 2. Grapple from under the bridge to a bridge and land perfectly was a pain , but I finally did it . This method would have saved me lot of nerves ... tnx
@Soft_Serve05 it took me this much since I would execute the grapple jump badly and wouldn't dock on the side bridge, and I would have to start all over again ... first time i managed to land on the side bridge , all was fine, but to get to this point you need to dps the boss for like 5 minutes ... This new method is much easyer and 100% safe .
I had the same issue, so I just melted him with Thunderlord in phase one from the upper catwalk and then grappled up when the dome came down. Thunderlord melts him in maybe thirty seconds. Then once on top I was out of heavy and pecked him down with a pulse.
@@westhemann lol there’s no way your talking about legend campaign though. Calus legend campaign takes quite a bit to take down. Wouldn’t even recommend Thunderlord tbh.
As someone who just tried to do this final mission with a friend on legendary and after 3 hours we gave up and did on classic just to get strand, this brings me great joy
That final fight and all the other ones where they locked you in a circular room with no cover only to force you to use strand grapple....yeah....that's bullshit man....the boss wasn't hard clearly depicted here in this video is an example of how the boss was a pushover you can sit off the side and kill him....I love this game but the artificial inflation of challenges is going too far....
@@zigzag2370 The tormenters were harder than calus lol. Plus the fact that there is next to no cover with a million adds makes regening incredibly hard
For those who are doing this on a second character I would recommend the deterministic chaos if you aren't using a exotic already. It helps alot for the 2nd phase.
Thanks so much for the Guide. I killed both the Tormentors first, then Calus phase 1, so he wasn't very co-operative for phase 2. I actually had to lean out quite a ways on on the right side (opposite of your video), before he would walk over so I could shoot him. So if others have this issue, just have some patience and take some shots on the platform to draw his attention. Once again, thanks for the Video!
Thank you for this! This worked perfectly. After getting flung off for the 3000th time, I was gonna give up. The grapple is a mess, it doesnt even stop you from falling most of the time.
I felt like the best way for me to get good damage under the stairs was walk right up to the slits and when you see damage incoming from tormentors or calus you can just crouch and most damage won't get you, and if you need a break from splash damage just take a few steps forward after crouching. Especially with osteo striga and the randomness to the bullets it made it a lot easier to get bullets through the stairs and into dudes head, hope this helped.
Hi Esoterickk ,thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏you are amazing , I spent over 48 hours over few day just to solo on legendary level but I’m just not as skilled as most young games as I’m a older gamer ,basically a part timer just for fun not too serious , as I’m very busy person , playing games , takes my mind off the huge stresses that my job entails . I thought I was never going to beat the boss after the first boss fight then things hot up and boom , you fight him again in the arena , I thought I was finished , absolute impossible I said to myself. Until I saw your video and thought , wow are you sure , it took me 3 goes and I made it , I’m average player . Big big thanks to you for helping the community on your videos . I’m very greatly appreciated if your skills , I’m not sure how on earth you find these ares of the game to beat the boss , buy you are a genius , thank you 🙏
DUDE , I GOTTA THANK YOU!!!!! I did phase 1 okay yesterday under the stairs, BUT I fell like a rock when I tried to make it to the platform to then grabble the bubble!!!! Dude, I'm old and slow no way I was gonna do this without you!!!! BTW, the ENTIRE 2ND PHASE was done USING 3 SUPERS AND 4 OR 5 RIFTS , Callus only came over in shooting range for one brief second!! Thanks!
I tried these 2 cheeses & could never get out from under the stairs w/o falling to my death-so did non-cheese for 1st phase & cheese dome for the 2nd-worked out-thx as always for your help!
@@VAVORiAL I wouldn't say that. For me it's just alot easier to move for me with my hunter then the other class. I've just never been good with how warlock and titans dash. I did this legit on the hunter but I had to use this method for titan because I just have way less control with when I get launched. I will admit it's probably a me problem but I just feel like when I'm not playing hunter I get hit more when I'm using the other classes. The only thing that saves me on titan is the solar subclass and this is just movement even when I don't abuse invis.
Also easy cheese, use outbreak perfected and come out of cover and use super to kill each tormentor. Your super will be able to regen from the damage to kill both of them anyways and then swap to gjally before phase two and keep away from calus by sticking to the air for fast and easy kill
I never ever comment on stuff but after 10 straight deaths by calus blowing me off the sides during second phase I was done. Thank you so much for this video. ❤❤❤❤❤
My hands started to hurt after the first few attempts at this normally, so I’m glad I learned about the phase 1 before I did the fight just in case. A few attempts later I learned that phase 2 could be cheesed as well, thanks to this video. That said, always bring a Wish Ender, that thing HURTS them good
I was already done with this fight after barely even three consecutive attempts that ended in getting flung off the ledge by a Tormentor. This video saved me a lot of stress, and probably the cost of a new keyboard.
It's been patched, but you can still use this strat! You need to get under the platform you spawn on, instead of crawling under the stairs. It will still allow you to shoot through the stairs, and is actually a safer position overall for first phase.... then you'll need to swing under the walkway (in front of the stairs) to be in the same position for phase II. Definitely less convenient, but still works.
@@shunaustin4679 That’s right. If you try you’ll find you can’t go through what the guides show. But there’s a new method that Tristain talks about. Jump to either the right or left upper catwalk, then turn around and jump onto the X patterned metal struts underneath the platform, and from those jump onto the pipe. There are some videos that show it, you can search “updated Calus cheese” for example.
Imagine waiting waiting so long to fight your favorite Guardian, only to fight said Guardian through a staircase 🤣 Destiny cheese will always be a joy to me
I tried the "normal" way for like an hour......kept getting killed.... said some four letter words....then decided to opened up TH-cam....prayed to the gods and BAM! Prayer answered in a the form of this video by Esoterickk.....thanks Esoterickk......much appreciated.....now do you have a video on how to cheese work so I can play Destiny more often? 🤣
Outbreak is a great option for phase 1. With catalyst it's hitting like 2400 per impact and just melts him. Then I did the grapple thing on top of the bubble and absolutely shredded him with it
I used Polaris Lance for phase 1, because that explosive shot does insane damage, then switched to Le Monarque to cheese phase 2 from on top of the bubble. The poison dps was crazy, and he's so easy to crit from up there, lol.
Tried this and Calus just stands directly above me and rarely moves away. Nevermind. I had to start over twice until Calus moved his ass into place. Worked like a charm!
I think the previous cheese is easier on titan for jumping out since warlocks are momentum based jumps, but definitely helps knowing so the doing the alts aren't as much of a pain
Thanks for this. Took forever on the second phase as Callus stubbornly refused to wander over after a while. Fortunately the supercharged green sperms tracked him
I tried your other method of grappling above him, but missed and ended up fighting him normally inside the dome and it was actually pretty easy with Two-Tailed Fox. Just run, turn around and shoot/grenade/reload. Repeat.
Thanks for this E. Doing the second phase from under the stairs I could never get the boss to migrate over to the wings of the platform where I could take him down. However 3 strand supers propagated through the floor and took him out.👍
@Sathona - LOA This reminds me of the Winter's Run Strike cheese way back when by hiding under some stairs before they patched it in D1. Good times....
You’re not far enough to the left. You should be so far to the left that you’re convinced you’d fall. Also, Monarch wrecks him. It won’t shoot through the stairs for stage 1, but for the second part it’s perfect.
THIS STILL WORKS! THANK YOU! I just did it on my Hunter. Didn’t even take that long. I’d recommend bringing a good scout rifle as your secondary and a Machine gun as your heavy. Makes it even easier. This fight would be fine if Calus moved slower, the adds didn’t endlessly respawn, and tormentors where less annoying to fight. It just doesn’t feel fair for most players, especially new players like me. I was able to get Calus to the second phase SOLO but once he’s running after you it’s just awful. So glad a cheese like this exists and I hope that Bungie either doesn’t remove it or removes it and NERFs the fight heavily. Again, thank you.
So glad I stumbled on this in my recommendation. Not sure how difficult this boss fight would've been without the cheese, but I'm glad Esoterickk posted this guide. THANKS!!! 👍
I soloed this on my Warlock with little to no difficulty, but couldn't do it on my Titan to save my life. Was so pissed I uninstalled the game. I started wondering to myself if Esoterickk has a solo guide. Not only do you have it, but also a cheese guide which worked flawlessly for me. I appreciate it! 💯💯💯
Thanks for the video. I used Quicksilver Storm due its extreme stability when aiming between stairs. I was generally able to feed Calus a fairly steady diet of ~1200 damage per headshot.
I found Malfeasance to be a better damage dealer. I'm gonna pick up Lucky Pants and give this a go again as I died trying to grapple to the Bubble. But no longer Calus. Fear my Croutching Hunter hidden annoyance.
Spent over a week fighting Calus both by myself and with fireteams. Never even got close. This method I did solo, on Legend, and won the first try, Thank you so much Esoterickk
Thanks so much for this, saved me a lot of time. Took awhile to get the boss to migrate over to a side in phase 2, but finally got him to do it after waiting awhile 😊
In my case Calus wasnt moving at all. I recommend runing stasis hunter. You can ulti him from under bridge (dont get right under him or you will get yourself blown up) and also throw grenades under him and shoot ice wall it damages him. Look for parts protruding from top so you can locate him so you know where to throw grenade. It is a slow way but you will get it done. It should take about 4 ultis and 8 granades. In my case after I removed around 2/3 of hp bar he finally moved and i shot him then.
‘This exceeds my wildest expectations’ is what calus or anybody in the system says about esoterickk 😉💪🏻 Thx for this as always bro. I wasn’t even gonna attempt this maddening frustration …. But u have given this average solo casual hope 💯
TY so much for this. Ran it through the first time on my main with no problems. On my alt, had to be over a half dozen times I got to within seconds of completion and then would get bumped off of the platform. I cannot believe that the devs designed this, played it, and said, "wow, this is fun". This has to be the worst encounter in Destiny's history.
Holy Cow! This is absolutely genius!! I am stuck on this part currently and I am definitely going to try this method because the dome method I couldn't do
Thank you so so much. I got stuck in the second phase when I couldn't get Calus to go where I was shooting, but after a few minutes of waiting he finally showed up. Could never have done this alone.
Thanks for the help! I usually play Destiny 2 for the campaign and do only a little grinding outside of it. The whole fight is all over the top with all the additional enemies. You saved me a lot of nerves. Thanks! ♥
You my friend are an absolute legend! Just when I thought I'd flushed 30 pound down the toilet you provided me with this stroke of genius! Charles should give you a knighthood!
i did this on hunter pretty easy bc im faster with movement but warlock i did this cheese. Hats off to you for making it look so easy on a warlock man you are impressive beyond my comprehension! Appreciate all your vids youve helped me with so many things in this game and in turn have made it more fun. Cant wait for Elden Ring DLC to see you destroy everything without taking damage hahaha
I found this out today by mistake 🙂 I wonder what would happen if I didn't leave from here.. My only problem he never came to the edge BUT for those who are gonna try it..I found something great 🙂 use your rift & it does damage through the floor, because of the threadlings and you can use your super as it also goes through the floor 👍🏾
The first cheese took me a few attempts to get up on the roof, but got it done. Went back with a fireteam and it was easier to do legit. Happy to find the cheese when I was solo though.
I appreciate that cheeses like this exist, I'm not a big fan of using them but I'm less of a fan for feeling like they are nearly needed... I'm no Destiny rockstar and this dude has whooped my ass for several hours. Thank you for the help!
only problem is after you have use all your heavy and special dmg slows way down obviously. but if you have a shoot to loot roll especially with explosive payload or kinetic tremors you can kill the add that gather around calus and then pick them up with the weapon to keep getting ammo for your heavy/special which makes things go alot faster
Thank you sooooo much. Perfect guide on how to do it, worked perfectly the first time. Turned the hardest boss in this expansion into the easiest. Again, thank you so much!!!
this cheese is excellent thank you SO MUCH for saving 4 hours of my life on this cheesy mess of a final boss fight thanks again I've liked and subscribed

The architects are truly the strongest enemy in the game
While using the cheese I noticed occasionally he would go back to center and I'd have to reset him again by shooting towards the platform again, but it worked
The reason you haven't died to any enemies IS because you keep falling off the map.
@@tgblanke haha most likely XD
Flying off the map is what keeps killing me as wel

Also he wouldn't go left 2nd phase for me so right side works just as well.

There are some videos that show it, you can search “updated Calus cheese” for example.
I always appreciate your vids on how to cheese things. Your strat way back when for the Thorn quest was a huge help
Imagine waiting waiting so long to fight your favorite Guardian, only to fight said Guardian through a staircase 🤣
Destiny cheese will always be a joy to me
yeah man, i tried the first option but having trouble jumping out. this one did it .good looking out!
Thanks man. As an old average gamer this really helped me.
Also be patient it took a while for that chungus of a cabal to finally saunter over to die
I tried the "normal" way for like an hour......kept getting killed.... said some four letter words....then decided to opened up TH-cam....prayed to the gods and BAM! Prayer answered in a the form of this video by Esoterickk.....thanks Esoterickk......much appreciated.....now do you have a video on how to cheese work so I can play Destiny more often? 🤣
Outbreak is a great option for phase 1. With catalyst it's hitting like 2400 per impact and just melts him. Then I did the grapple thing on top of the bubble and absolutely shredded him with it
I used Polaris Lance for phase 1, because that explosive shot does insane damage, then switched to Le Monarque to cheese phase 2 from on top of the bubble.
The poison dps was crazy, and he's so easy to crit from up there, lol.
dude omg i just came across this video right now and it helped alot. thank u.
Tried this and Calus just stands directly above me and rarely moves away.
Nevermind. I had to start over twice until Calus moved his ass into place. Worked like a charm!
Thanks man, I'm a solo player and was having trouble, 10 minutes after watching ur vid easy breezee. Appreciate ya!!
I think the previous cheese is easier on titan for jumping out since warlocks are momentum based jumps, but definitely helps knowing so the doing the alts aren't as much of a pain
Thanks for this. Took forever on the second phase as Callus stubbornly refused to wander over after a while. Fortunately the supercharged green sperms tracked him
Classic. Reminds me of Archon priest nightfall from D1
Sitting under those stairs with icebreaker ♿️
@@3JJ3 Right? 🤣
I made a comment on your last video explaining this strat, a lot easier to do, glad you either read my or someone else's comment or found it yourself.
I tried your other method of grappling above him, but missed and ended up fighting him normally inside the dome and it was actually pretty easy with Two-Tailed Fox. Just run, turn around and shoot/grenade/reload. Repeat.
Was you playing on easy mode or legendary?
@@ethanbell7283 legendary that would work yea
@@ethanbell7283 Legendary. Void-Bastard Titan.
"There goes my hero!" Is the song I hear playing as you post this. Thank you.
Who else is happy we didn’t have to remember all the symbols on his coverbun
Thanks for this E. Doing the second phase from under the stairs I could never get the boss to migrate over to the wings of the platform where I could take him down. However 3 strand supers propagated through the floor and took him out.👍
i like to think guardians canonically cheese every boss fight
its probably the most Guardian thing possible
@Sathona - LOA This reminds me of the Winter's Run Strike cheese way back when by hiding under some stairs before they patched it in D1. Good times....
Thank you sooooo much. You have saved me from so much pain and suffering.
Anyone having issues with Calus not moving to the side and just being stuck in the middle of the arena?
You’re not far enough to the left. You should be so far to the left that you’re convinced you’d fall.
Also, Monarch wrecks him. It won’t shoot through the stairs for stage 1, but for the second part it’s perfect.
@@DHforHOF thank you!!
Thank you for this! I did a little bit of an fudge up at the end! I fell to my death when I went to jump out from under the platform lol!
It won’t let me crawl under the steps
THIS STILL WORKS! THANK YOU!
I just did it on my Hunter. Didn’t even take that long.
I’d recommend bringing a good scout rifle as your secondary and a Machine gun as your heavy. Makes it even easier.
This fight would be fine if Calus moved slower, the adds didn’t endlessly respawn, and tormentors where less annoying to fight. It just doesn’t feel fair for most players, especially new players like me. I was able to get Calus to the second phase SOLO but once he’s running after you it’s just awful.
So glad a cheese like this exists and I hope that Bungie either doesn’t remove it or removes it and NERFs the fight heavily.
Again, thank you.
Will definitely do this with other characters
So glad I stumbled on this in my recommendation. Not sure how difficult this boss fight would've been without the cheese, but I'm glad Esoterickk posted this guide. THANKS!!! 👍
Thanks!
And a thanks to you too!
Thanks,you one of the few content creators that try to help casual players
Literally a life saver 😭 the other cheese wasn’t working well for me lol. I don’t even care that I cheesed it I’m just glad I did it solo 😂
I solo this boss with leviathan's breath to stun his charge attack I don't need the cheese spot good video tip and keep up the good work
I soloed this on my Warlock with little to no difficulty, but couldn't do it on my Titan to save my life. Was so pissed I uninstalled the game. I started wondering to myself if Esoterickk has a solo guide. Not only do you have it, but also a cheese guide which worked flawlessly for me. I appreciate it! 💯💯💯
lol they actually patched this. i hate bungie.
Thanks for the video. I used Quicksilver Storm due its extreme stability when aiming between stairs. I was generally able to feed Calus a fairly steady diet of ~1200 damage per headshot.
I found Malfeasance to be a better damage dealer. I'm gonna pick up Lucky Pants and give this a go again as I died trying to grapple to the Bubble. But no longer Calus. Fear my Croutching Hunter hidden annoyance.
I got strand on my warlock and hunter no problem but titan felt like the game suddenly became a GM nightfall with contest, thank you for this
I gave up on Legend Calus last week but decided to try again today. Thank you so much for this!
Happy to announce this still works after the first reset, glad they didn't patch it yet :)
Spent over a week fighting Calus both by myself and with fireteams. Never even got close. This method I did solo, on Legend, and won the first try, Thank you so much Esoterickk
Thanks so much for this, saved me a lot of time. Took awhile to get the boss to migrate over to a side in phase 2, but finally got him to do it after waiting awhile 😊
In my case Calus wasnt moving at all. I recommend runing stasis hunter. You can ulti him from under bridge (dont get right under him or you will get yourself blown up) and also throw grenades under him and shoot ice wall it damages him. Look for parts protruding from top so you can locate him so you know where to throw grenade. It is a slow way but you will get it done. It should take about 4 ultis and 8 granades. In my case after I removed around 2/3 of hp bar he finally moved and i shot him then.
Thank you for this!!! He wasn't moving in mine either so I switched go stasis mid fight and did what you said
‘This exceeds my wildest expectations’ is what calus or anybody in the system says about esoterickk 😉💪🏻
Thx for this as always bro. I wasn’t even gonna attempt this maddening frustration …. But u have given this average solo casual hope 💯
TY so much for this. Ran it through the first time on my main with no problems. On my alt, had to be over a half dozen times I got to within seconds of completion and then would get bumped off of the platform. I cannot believe that the devs designed this, played it, and said, "wow, this is fun". This has to be the worst encounter in Destiny's history.
For anyone wondering if this method works .. just tried it, and it still works
you saved me i was trying to do it legit for hours ty so much
Holy Cow! This is absolutely genius!! I am stuck on this part currently and I am definitely going to try this method because the dome method I couldn't do
Can confirm this still works. Used Sweet Business instead of osteo and it worked great!
Thank you ❤
Thank God. After doing it once solo, and again with a friend, I couldn't be bothered solo on my titan. Absolute legend!
You saved my sanity and prevented me from rage smashing my controller!!!! Thank you for posting this!!!
FINALLY GOT IT! Thanks you earned a Sub pal!
After all the grinding I did to get this battle done watching this video helped me a bunch thank so much for helping that was a really good spot 😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you so so much. I got stuck in the second phase when I couldn't get Calus to go where I was shooting, but after a few minutes of waiting he finally showed up. Could never have done this alone.
Thanks for the help! I usually play Destiny 2 for the campaign and do only a little grinding outside of it.
The whole fight is all over the top with all the additional enemies. You saved me a lot of nerves. Thanks! ♥
You my friend are an absolute legend! Just when I thought I'd flushed 30 pound down the toilet you provided me with this stroke of genius! Charles should give you a knighthood!
Holy cow this was the cheese of all cheese. Thank you!
Can't wait to try this!! Thanks for the cheese!!
This helped do much, I was at light 1720 when I found this video and I cheesed both fazes. Thank you
i did this on hunter pretty easy bc im faster with movement but warlock i did this cheese. Hats off to you for making it look so easy on a warlock man you are impressive beyond my comprehension! Appreciate all your vids youve helped me with so many things in this game and in turn have made it more fun. Cant wait for Elden Ring DLC to see you destroy everything without taking damage hahaha
Thank you! I was struggling with phase 2, and of course it resets at the beginning.
Spent hours on this damn mission 400+ kills this saved me. Thanks!!
I found this out today by mistake 🙂 I wonder what would happen if I didn't leave from here.. My only problem he never came to the edge BUT for those who are gonna try it..I found something great 🙂 use your rift & it does damage through the floor, because of the threadlings and you can use your super as it also goes through the floor 👍🏾
tysm, you're going to heaven for this
Tysm for this video guide this helped out a lot keep up the great solo content
The first cheese took me a few attempts to get up on the roof, but got it done. Went back with a fireteam and it was easier to do legit. Happy to find the cheese when I was solo though.
I appreciate that cheeses like this exist, I'm not a big fan of using them but I'm less of a fan for feeling like they are nearly needed... I'm no Destiny rockstar and this dude has whooped my ass for several hours. Thank you for the help!
only problem is after you have use all your heavy and special dmg slows way down obviously. but if you have a shoot to loot roll especially with explosive payload or kinetic tremors you can kill the add that gather around calus and then pick them up with the weapon to keep getting ammo for your heavy/special which makes things go alot faster
Thank you sooooo much. Perfect guide on how to do it, worked perfectly the first time. Turned the hardest boss in this expansion into the easiest. Again, thank you so much!!!
this cheese is excellent thank you SO MUCH for saving 4 hours of my life on this cheesy mess of a final boss fight thanks again I've liked and subscribed
As a sucky casual player who never does anything on legendary, this was a godsend, so thank you for your service
