Best Story Mission / Location To Complete These Few Lore Challenges?

Battleborn Battleborn General Discussion
#1

Ok, so, I need to complete 3 Lore challenges (1 per character) to have Orendi, Rath, and Thorn mastered (which will bring my Mastered Characters up to 8) and since obviously doing them in PVP has proven quote challenging, I am wondering what the best story missions / locations within the missions are to do them at.

Here are the challenges:

Orendi - The Essence of Chaos - Use Nullify to Knock an enemy back into your Shadowfire Pillar, 20 times.

Rath - Axiom, Praxis, and Precept - Hit 3 enemies with Crossblade, 100 times.

Thorn - Spry Spirit Spray - Spry Spirit Spray Kill 10 players with Volley while airborne. (damn I guess this one can only be done in PVP huh?)

Dammit I just realized I am missing two for Thorn, here is the other one:

Thorn - The Last - Win The Archive on Advanced difficulty without losing any lives. (is that hard? Can I bring in help?)

Thanks in advance for any info!

Any. Just take the augment that adds a push effect to Nullify. Cast your Shadow Pillar behind any enemy, then use Nullify to push them into it.

Thrall tend to bunch up when they’re summoned, so The Renegade is a good one for that, especially the waves at the end where Cal charges his assault frame.

PVP only. Sorry.

It is hard and you can bring help. Note it’s not losing any lives, not nobody needs reviving. As long as nobody in your party (including you) respawns, you can do this lore challenge. You may want to either bring a full party or try it alone.

A few of us recently leveling/mastering Orendi noticed some maps at times don’t register for the pillar.
We did find that Helio always registers.
So, even if you only do the first part it helps a lot.

I found it fairly easy to do solo when I didn’t care about score. The easiest way to do that is to buy all the turrets all the time so that the minion traversal goes by quick, and also so you can always be building the other shield-breaking turrets against the boss. For gear, equip a cooldown, a cheap shard generator, and skill damage gear. I actually did it using a rare shard generator that also gave bonus shards on pickups, which made it extremely easy to rack up enough shards to buy all the turrets.

Actually in my opinion one of the best levels to grind basic kill stuff like killing blind enemies as caldarius, strike 3 enemies with crossblade, or even whiskeys melee kills/scrap knock back is the algorithm when fighting Geoff. On solo advance if you hAng in the back after the first firmware upgrade he launches 6 packs of basic minions and exploder bots. It may be a smidge slower than other tactics or options but you do t have to constantly reque and stuffs

I have found that the Algorithm is a great mission to do lore when it comes to doing lore likes raths hit x amount of enemies with a skill. Go to Geoff and get him to phase 2 where he spawns spider babies. It works for many BB lore.

If you ever want help with missions just let me know. Im more than willing to PVE

If you ever need kills with a skill / hit multiple enemies with a skill/ damage with a skill go for Algorithm.

Damage one of the swarmers until it starts spitting out more than 3 Mini Swarmers.

The Thorn challenge isn’t to for the Archive isn’t that hard , you can solo it (did it twice on hardcore).

Premium tip: in the First segment of the level farm for shards until you can activate all your gear. Also put up a thumper turret before the main entrance, on your way back you will be thankful for it.

The Big shards in the Archive respawn every ten minutes, so you can take it easy and get all your stuff before activating cronicle.

Also, on the Part there that Data Minions are going to Chronicle, you can hide behind the shield… Unlike in PvP you CAN shoot out, but the enemy won’t be able to hit you.

Last tip: wait for melka to go back for chronicle… if you don’t she might miss out the final fight meaning that the big bad guy is gonna aim only at you… she doesn’t do much damage, but is good as decoy, especially since she cannot die.

When ever you need kill X amount of anything there is only two real places to go in PvE.

Algorithum:

Head through the level until you get to the frozen section. The part right before you drop down and kill the Galatic Emperor. While clearing the frozen section do not kill a single Blissbeast. if you don’t they will continuously spawn little yellow things that die in one shot forever. Let them spawn 20 or so of them and then farm those.

Renegade:

Kill through the map till the end phase and kill the bazillion primal thralls that spawn on the docking points.

Also when mastering Phoebe you have to do the 2k damage with a single blade rush challenge at the end of the Varalsi Conservator. It is only possible when you get sucked into varalsi space (the black zone where varalsi endlessly spawn) then group them up in a line and fire away. This also works best for Caldarius’ kill blinded enemies because they don’t die to flash bang.

Suggestion for Thorn…
Try it in Advanced Hardcore if you go solo (or with a buddy).
Since you have to do it without dying anyway, might as well do it in hardcore.

The second level for the crossblades. The verelsi spawn in groups of 5 and you can circle them and get them in a line. It’s pretty easy. Especially at the end when you fight the boss and he sends you into that other dimension. There’s like 50 in there and it’s pretty easy to get them.

That first part of Helio is what I used, use it a lot for Lore, everything there mobs, they are already lined up. :smile:

#13

It’s pretty easy. Take a shard generator, build everything, and turrets will do most of the job.

It’s only 1800 now. I got it during a public normal run of the Renegade, I was killing spawning thralls in the last part. Maybe it helped that an Ambra was there with me too (her first helix gives +16% damage boost to all enemies affected by a sunspot).

I’ve learned that a good place to farm the rath cross blade challenge and other kill x enemies challenges is the voids edge boss. He infinitely spawns skulks that you can easily kite together for easy lore completion
