As a soldier, just before the elevator gets to the top, drop your turret, then run in a beeline to the spot. Don't hug the edge, but go in a straight line, and about 70% of the time you should make it there. If you hug the edge too much, they will see you, but they should focus on your turret most of the time. hth

If only all game how-to guides were this professional and no-nonsense. Great job on the vid.

Years ago, I used to farm Crawmerax A LOT for myself and for friends. I rarely got killed too. But a few years ago, I tried to do it again and couldn't. His worm buddies kept pushing me off of the edge.

EASILY the best video for tips on how to beat Craw out there.

Once I got a Pearlescent sniper from Crawmerax, if I recall properly I think it was called the Fearsome Bessie. That thing destroyed.

This was significantly more helpful than a lot of other videos on Crawmerax, well done Jay.

I've done it. To do it I recommend either a Bessie sniper, or a Skullmasher. Either will work but both are pretty rare so grind in Knoxxs armory before getting one. In your quickventory, have a corrosive, shock, and fire gun for killing crawmeraxs minions. Buy a bunch of Med Kits. Right when you get out, run to the rock on the right and do laps around it. With practice, you will get really good at this and be able to spot opportunities to hit him in the back. IT TAKES PRACTICE.

The tip in this video for the Orion works very well, especially if you have the Sniper Mod that gives you unlimited ammo.

I lov how detailed this guide is

Thank you so much dude. I love how detailed this guide is how you give us different ways to do it just in case the other didn’t work. I subbed

I have the steel anarchy, but no skull masher. I take out all his front spots with the anarchy, then fire a nidhogg over his back until i get lucky, works 9 times out of 10. Great vid man.

You can farm the vault three times. If you want to infinitely farm it, only turn in the first two missions.

Thank you so much for this video, I went to search for the leviathan and came right back to deal with Crawmerax.

"Ah the pearlecents" ~brick 3908

This was done very professionally. I learned a lot, thank you!

Skullmasher is my favourite for Mordecai. With full Trespass skill and everything else put into Bloodwing, one headshot usually completely refills the action skill, and then Bloodwing kills, loots and stuns everything you can see.

I killed it only once but using different method. I used this thing he does to make me fly high in the air to land on a high cliff. From that position, killing Crawmerax is easy. Only thing I was afraid of was the ammo depletion but it turned out I had it just enough.

. . . The right part only determines the magnitude of the main effects, NOT what they are. What they are is determined by the material part. The Maliwan_1 material, for instance, will only give the default effect (Team Cooldown Reduction, for Catalyst MODs), while the _2 and _3 variants give the default in addition to the first and second extra effects, respectively. Note that a MOD can have two effects even if there isn't room on the item card. This occurs with Specter MODs. Test to be sure.

man this vid brings me back memorys, thanks to you I got a Pearl smg

Wow! That's awesome! I really wish that Gearbox would allow you to carry over a weapon of choice or something.

I'm really going to miss S&S Munitions in Borderlands 2. :S I simply adore the Orion.... Also, instead of using the leviathan, you could use any old rocket launcher and hit between Craw's back spikes to take out the back spot.

I never thought of bouncing the bullets with the Orion to hit back :/ Thanks man for the info (also im going to kill crawmerax and stuff, cheers mate!)

thank you so much bro i just got into borderlands 1 since my dad had a copy and this farm was a pain with mediocre weapon guides and methods, farming for a spectre class mod now! again thank you.

A follow-up to an earlier post today. Got the Craw with an Orion Sniper ricochet off a pillar just to his right. His other parts I did with a Lightning Nemesis and then a Pearl Aries after the Lightning ran out of ammo. Never did see his back in the dozen or so attempts. Tracking down the Specter Class mod was the key and with infinite sniper rounds was prepared to camp out till hell freezes over. Very satisfying run. Being a Siren, it is tricky getting the Craw to fully expose himself without getting killed.

Thats a pretty good way all of them to get the job done I wouldve never known

excellent guide, best i've seen so far. also: nice editing. i personally felt a bit letdown by borderlands 2, its good, but not as good as i hoped, so still playing bl1

easily the most helpfull thing i have seen so far... sadly i don't have the stats to get that single shot for the back... but hopefull that one clear shot will be enough for me... ran out of rockets last time i did it.

Waiting for BL3 and BL1 Remastered!

lol when he said its hard to hit that back area, had to thumbs up.

Very good quality tutorial and voice-over. Thanks for creating it.

Every MOD has the standard level and quality settings, of course, in addition to the following: Look at the name. If the first digit is a 6, it gives the best skill bonuses (4 to one, 3 to the others), and lower numbers represent lesser bonuses. If the second digit is a 6, it means that the effect bonuses (+ damage, + ammo regen, et cetera) are top-notch. Less than 6 = lesser effects. If there is a zero at the end, it has at least a decent level, so it's usable. The left (cont.)

Dude thank you. This was by far the most useful one. If you or anyone is down to play b1 on steam comment back n lets play together.

I know Im late to the party but I found another way to hit his back spot,after Im done with all his front weakpoints I go slightly right plus crouch and he will come charging at you but because he cant hit you since youre beneath him you wont take damage.After hes done with that he will turn his back and walk.This is also only capable with a siren since he will hit you with those nasty acid balls.Also when youre doing this make sure that you killed all of his craw minions since they can hit you off the edge.

Right after i watched the tips vid i killed craw (thanks to you) And found two skull mashers In the wreckage Right when i really wanted one too

What did you expect? Did you see that pile of drops from Crawmerax? Tried doing him in for the first time today, but didn't get to the back critical -- I had another video that recommended a rocket launcher aiming for one of the spikes, but that didn't work out. Going to try the Leviathan suggestion now, but I guess I won't be able to hit anything with that; will probably just take every legendary rocket launcher that I own along with me to try out (for as long as I have rockets...)

I will probably do something with Borderlands 2, but most likely not at the beginning. Eventually though, I plan on doing something. It's been a while since I made a video, and Borderlands 2 is looking like it'll be a real winner!

I thought that I was the only one that knew about the trick to get the back spot. Glad that others know of it!

1. yes pearlescent (or cyan) weapons are the rarest and only one of each weapon type exists (note type is specific there is more than 1 combat rifle as there are more than 1 type ie burst fire is different than a 200 round lmg) 2. if you mean the equip slot, it is from the main story line, if you mean the backpack you get them from claptrap rescue missions

thanks for the idea of using a Leviathan! i was having problems with the back with my brick and I'm too big of a pansy to face him head on. works wonders

Very informative, lots of techniques, good quality, awesome video man.

I killed him with roland. I had 4 shotguns. Fire, electricity, corrosion, and a powerful one with no elemental effect. (Crawmerax has no weakness so its better to have one with more damage) I had a powerful shield which made sure I took 3 hits before he could kill me. I also had 2 different class mods. A commando, and a support gunner. The commando class mod allowed me to do more damage with a shotgun (all four were shotguns) and the support gunner class mod regenerated ammo. I also stocked up heavily on health kits. I kept my distance from him by running around the arena in a circle and killed his minions until all 3 were the armored craw worms since they are slower. (I used fire on the green craw worms and electricity on the craw maggots.) After that i just had to keep a good enough distance and shot at him until he died. If i got hurt i would use a health kit and if i went down i would kill an armored craw worm with my corrosive shotgun. It was sometimes hard to hit the back even with the turret as a distraction... because he broke it in 2 hits. Every once in a while (it seems like this happens only after i broke his eye) he would lose track of me and turn around so i could get a few shots in the back.

i dont think i've ever had a pearlescent drop from him - yet

. . . number (and left part of the MOD) determines skills in two ways. First, there's the magnitude, which I mentioned, bu there's also the setup. A "6" left part can be 6, 6b, or 6c, which indicates whether the first, second, or third skill gets the 4 bonus. Point of clarification: I've noticed the level-for-hundreds digit relation that I mentioned before, but it's possible that it only relates to the quality setting, not the level. Those usually have a direct variation, though. (cont.)

I've dropped so many oranges back in the day just for lack of space.

Game Of The Year Edition is different and not the same now even though it's very improved game following footsteps of Pre Sequel and Borderlands 2.

That back spot is the bane of my exsistence right now.. My friend and I can tag team crawmerax no problem but I cannot beat him with Roland..I need one of those Skullmashers!

Hey man, great vid. Got 2 pearls so far: Undertaker and Jackal :D, the way I do it is I use a Unforgiven masher on my gunslinger hunter to take out the front spots. Then I take out my undertaker and aim for one of the spikes on its back. if a rocket hits the spike, the splash damage will also hit its weakspot, killing it with just 6 well placed shots

I dont have an xbox but if you want gear, say you cant farm the armory, the area tannis is in (Dont remember the name, been forever since i've played BL1) is great for chests, 2 up by tannis, 2 down by the spider ants, 1 by the bridge and 1 hidden by the spiderants of a cliff (all in a closeish radius), if your going for speed dont hit the 2 by tannis as they are out of the way. Takes about 5 mins to farm the chests (excluding tannis')

No. Mord's Scavenger MODs can cause enemies to drop more items, mainly ammo and money. Lilith's Catalyst MODs can have "Team Find Rare Items" +1-3. They cause rarity levels of parts of guns to have higher values, which makes a difference in how good they are. Since there are many variables to it, though, you can't expect to equip one and watch a million legendaries drop or anything, but it can help a bit. Go to the wiki for all the MOD info.

It's a part of Secret Armory of General Knoxx.

Yes, Crawmerax is in the T-Bone Junction Area; General Knoxx DLC

The Leviathan helps with Roland as well. It takes a bit longer, but it is effective.

I am a siren, i would never take bloodwing over phaswalking.

Or just farm Rakk Hive, that's how I got my third Leviathan on my Soldier. The one from the quest ended up being better, but the fact that you can get one from the Rakk Hive is comforting if you accidentally sold your others

BUT...I get hammered by his worm and mini craw buddies as soon as I get off of the elevator. And sometimes, I never make to the corner, much less stand there looking at the big goofball looking around.

You have to complete the General Knoxx's Armory storyline to unlock Crawmerax to fight

Borderlands 2 has a lot of crazy shit. I've found quite a few odd weapons, Gunzerkers regen ammo without a mod simply by gunzerking and Ammo regen does exist but in the form of shields.

Awesome. Can't wait to try this out.

I was never able to kill this thing.

nice voiceover, nice editing, i like howu did this great job!!

I've killed crawmerax dozens of times, and I eventually did get a pearlescent weapon, a cobalt tsunami. I've used siren the entire time, and have just gotten a catalyst with +2 find rare items. I hope it will help, but I've gotten no luck so far. I've all so found many other awesome guns and shields. I got a 2909 shield from crawmerax and many other guns. I use crawmerax to level up my other characters, and my friends characters. I have a 1400 sniper, but I can't find a specter classvm

I just get him to lauch me on top of the wall of the legde you can be up there all day getting all your stuff leveled up i just love that and its not really a glitch i think.

The best way to kill crawmerax with brick with these gear: 1.corrosive crux shotgun over 170(x4 elemental) 2. orion sniper over 900(x4 elemental) 3. friendly fire between 200s with 6-12 ammo(x4 damage) 4. anarchy over 200(makes the damage x4 in this type of gun) 5. masher revolver in 400 but must have a fire rate over 1.0( mashers have x7 and if you have the unforgiven masher use it too) 6. transfusion grenade in 212(takes health from enemy's) 7. a ogre class mode in purple with ammo regeneration(must have Knoxx dlc and drop from devastators/ crisom chest) I would say how to kill him but i'll let you'll know the strategies to kill him if you are brick.

Rock strat

dude thanks so much man i spent 4-7 hrs tring to kill him and i was like fuck it then i searched it very helpful

same here ive gotten every single legendary (from light orange to red) and not a single pearlescent and to top it off, my friend got one his first attempt

Wanted: Fresh fish.

Holy shit ! I never knew that . Ive been using a mercenary mod for ammo regeneration and damage on my combustion hellfire !

aww yesss, the old borderlands looks so... old.

I found the bessie, undertaker, tsunami, serpens, and nemesis

now i wanna play borderlands

Craw is a pain in the ass to kill as mordecai, have to run towards the glitch spot hoping there is no craw maggots that spawned to headbutt me in to the abyss and hopefully hit his back spot fast enough then hide in the glitch spot. Only killed him around 5 times out of hmm 30 tries maybe which sucks. Mostly fail because of those damned maggots.

thank you so much i can finally destroy craw over and over

I FOUND A COLBAT TSUNAMI THANKS MAN!!!!!!!!!

thanks i like this video so i'll watch ur other videos this is my first video of yours that i watch

OMG the Nolstagia...

tmw this video is from before Borderlands 2 was released. I feel old

Did you know? you can get a bonus in Borderlands(2) if you have Borderlands(1) save game on your pc (or just the game)

You don't want to expose munitions during the quest "It's Like Christmas"

before you turn in on the treasure room mission do the floor glitch and keep farming it i can assure you that you will get at least 5 legendary's each time

Gen. Knoxx

I'm really looking forward to Borderlands 2 also, but I first want to kill Crawmerax first. Have tried it dozen of times with my Mordecai, but that back spot is just terrible to hit. Got any Mordecai tips for me?

You. Are. Badass.

Savage Unforgiven: jakobs revolver with ridiculous damage + relatively good aim = dead crawmerax in about 15 shots

Damn, so many legendary weapons!

Great video, thanks! Cant wait for Borderlands 2!

On my first ten fights, I found three pearlescent weapons. My second fight being one of them, then fight #6 and #7 with the other two. I do believe it is possible, if I could do it.

All i need is my trusty shotgun thats been modded and my awesome shield thats also modded to take him out multiple times over and over

Yes, the General Knoxx DLC.

I'm gonna test these tips ! I have kill crawmerax only once ( for the quest ) , but I want to drop some pearl/cyan weapons so I will try again with your tips thx a lot ^^

it's 2017....haven't beat it yet. 7 years and no luck. the spot doesn't work... i guess im doing it wrong ._.

Nice video man! very detailed

they ar the 3rd rarest type of weapon the scale goes (white green blue purple orange and the extremely rare pearlecent or cyan)

if you use the glitch spot for crawmerax and your able to kill him almost every time then the skullmasher should be an easy find because i have 4 skullmashers all from crawmerax and my best one is 456X6

Found the pearlecent sniper and the pearlecent revolver.

Thanks for the help. I'll try it out next time I'm playing. I think I tried this tactic before and it didn't work, but I'll keep working at it.

i found 5 pearlescents the second time i got around to killing him.

No luck yet but every time at least 4 legendaries

bad ass rating for this video......real nice dude

Yes.
