Eridium locations

A lot of the minibosses in the game drop at least one or two pieces of eridium on kill, so there’s an option if yu have the time. A really quick and somewhat easy boss to farm eridium from is Henry, who is just a few steps away from the Overlook spawnpoint. You can also check the stalker refuse piles scattered around her arena for eridium as well, making it fairly lucrative. Not to mention you can farm her rare heads while you’re at it.

If you’re strong enough or do it on a lower difficulty, Ancient Dragons drop around 80 per kill. If not, Warrior and Handsome Sorcerer as mentioned above are the next best choices, but yea you can get it from just about anything.

I am only level 18 at the moment. Playing Co op with another person…same level.

Ahh I suppose those are all ruled out then! lol just keep chipping away at the story, you’ll find plenty along the way until you can farm the warrior.

Well if you don’t mind getting over-level for the main quest, you could try Tiny Tina’s, though I am unsure of the minimum level, as it felt like that DLC dropped way more Eridium than any other part of the game in general.

But the side-quests and farming bosses will end up getting you over-level for the main quest anyway.

Ok, Thank

Counted what I collected once, but can’t remember the exact figure, but I think it is about 80 per round,

just ask, I would be glad to help anyone as long as they have the DLC (xbox 360 only at this time)(9pm to 12:30am EST)

Think it the Minimum level it starts out at is level 30ish

I have Xbox 1 but have all the DLC so it shouldnt be an issue

only issue is I don’t have Xbox 1 yet (maybe in about 2 weeks) when I get it, I’d be glad to help out if you still needed it.

Would also suggest that, if you do get someone to farm eridium for you, don’t buy Crazy Earl out, leave at least 2 item’s in there. Remember you still have TVHM and UVHM where you need to buy one Item from crazy Earl to keep the main story line going.
I know I have bought everything from him on a few toons in NVHM and have had to call on friends or open the game up to public to get past that spot.

Thanks1

In TVHM and UVHM, Scooter will tell you to go buy something from Earl, but you don’t actually have to. There’s no objective for it.

For low level characters, you can search all of the lockers in the bottom floor of the HQ in Sanctuary (where Tannis is). Seems like 90% of the time I’ll find 1-4 Eridium in one of the lockers or washing machines there. Save & quit and repeat. Very slow way, but it’s easy and practically guaranteed. At that point in the game, you’re trying to afford the 4-16 Eridium upgrades, so it’s a lot more worthwhile than it sounds.

Another option is to do some Mercenary Day runs if you have that DLC. Killing the Snowman boss at the end often drops 3-7 Eridium each time, and the train chests afterwards are guaranteed to have 2 spots that are either heads/skins for that DLC, or a 4-pack of Eridium. Lately it seems like one of the two is the 4-pack of Eridium on most runs. So that would be an average of probably 8 Eridium or so per Snowman kill + Train chests.

For Fallout 4? That’s my goal, anyway!

Yeah, that caught me by surprise the first time I noticed, but it’s true: in TVHM/UVHM you can grab the fuel cells from Scooter’s, then run straight to the spots where you place them, and you’re done.

Oh, Yeah, My most Favorite game, besides Borderlands

would really love it if they put some type of co-op level into it

Thank You!

I am VERY HAPPY you told me about Earl…I would have purchased everything and been screwed.

Can I add some people to my Xbox 1 friend list for help

Once you’ve got to Sanctuary in normal mode, and completed that set of initial missions, you can buy whatever you like. Don’t forget that some of those early missions also give you eridium as a reward - I do those in every play-through while levelling up.

I was saying you don’t have to worry about buying everything. It’s impossible to screw up there since you don’t actually have to buy anything from him in TVHM & UVHM. Scooter’s audio dialog will tell you to go buy something, but there is no actual objective for it. Just take the power cells and plug them straight in. No need to visit Earl on TVHM & UVHM.
