Kill Meg

Need help taking down Meg in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel? This guide covers the boss fight, her weaknesses, and the best strategy to defeat her.

Mission Details:

• Available: Complete 'Paint Job'
• Location: Hyperion Hub of Heroism; Nakayama
• Level: 18
• Rewards: 3208 XP, 155 dollars, Choice between a Laser or a Class Mod

Walkthrough:

Alright, so Nakayama's cooked up a little genetic freak that's making a mess in the trash compactor, and he wants you to deal with it. Head towards the waypoint, but hold up before you jump over that barrier. Look for a button on the wall nearby – hit that, and you'll be dropped right into the trash. Give it a few seconds, and out pops Meg, a big ol' Thresher!

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Meg is a Badass Thresher with individual tentacles that can be targeted.
• She has a large health pool, making the fight potentially challenging.
• Focus fire on her main body for the quickest takedown.
• If you go down and enter Fight For Your Life, target her tentacles to get a Second Wind.

Phases:

1. Phase 1: The Arena Fight
   You'll be fighting Meg in a relatively small trash compactor room. Her size and the confined space mean you'll need to keep moving and dodging her attacks. Concentrate your fire on her main body.
2. Phase 2: Second Wind Opportunity
   If you find yourself downed and in Fight For Your Life mode, don't despair! Meg's tentacles are destructible. Shooting them can give you the Second Wind you need to get back into the fight.

Strategy:

• Keep moving! The compactor isn't huge, so you'll need to be evasive.
• Prioritize damaging Meg's main body. While the tentacles can be useful for Second Winds, they aren't your primary target for defeating her.
• Be prepared for a tough fight due to her large health pool and the limited space.
• Once Meg is defeated, a path will open up allowing you to exit the compactor and head into the gun shop.
• After leaving the gun shop, return to Nakayama to complete the mission and collect your rewards.

Upon completion, you'll receive 3208 XP, 155 dollars, and get to choose between a new Laser weapon or a Class Mod.
