Walkthrough

1
Boss Fight: Colonel T. Zarpedon
- Zarpedon is fought in her powersuit. Lost Legion goons will also be present; save them for Second Winds if needed.
2
She has shields that she can replenish multiple times. Bring a shock-elemental weapon.
3
Her attacks include a standard laser, a slow-moving electric ball (easy to dodge), melee swipes, a leaping sword attack, and a volley of missiles from her mech.
4
Jack will assist in this fight, sometimes drawing Zarpedon's attention.
5
If Zarpedon targets you, keep moving and strafing. Maintaining distance helps in observing and dodging her attacks.
6
Boss Fight: Tungsteena Zarpedon, Ascended
- Zarpedon is now on foot and much faster.
7
Her primary threat is a shockwave attack that can deal massive damage. Perform a boosted jump to evade it.
8
Eternals will accompany her. They are tougher than regular Lost Legion soldiers and can ascend (recover health) around 50% health. They can be used for Second Winds but are harder to kill.
9
Other attacks include leaping strikes with her staff, energy ball projectiles, and a staff combo ending with a kick.
10
Keep moving and focus on dodging her shockwave. Good weapons will shorten the fight.

Shutting Down the Eye
- After defeating Zarpedon, take the marked elevator down to the laser core.
12
Follow Jack to the catwalk above the Eye of Helios.
13
Moxxi instructs you to press a console until the tube turns purple, then press it again to inject it into the eye. Repeat for all three consoles.

Go back upstairs and prepare to press a button, but Jack will stop you.
15
Follow Jack and fast travel back to Lunar Launching Station.
16
Enter the command center and initiate the reboot sequence.
