I don’t expect them to do anything about these REALLY unfair lore challenges. They didn’t when we all threw a fit over some of them for the Open Beta, and NOT A SINGLE ONE was changed since the Open Beta, either.

Now that the full game is released, it’s even MORE unlikely we’ll see any sweeping changes to lore challenges, due to logistical issues, such as:

  • What to do with players who have the challenge partially completed.
  • We would make people who did it the hard way mad.
  • Probably some other ones I’m too tired to think of right now lol.

I personally HATE PVP - I did NOT buy this game to be FORCED to play PVP content - I am quite happy with Story Missions Gearbox, and DESPISE being forced to go kill other players to unlock things…

…I’ve only tried a few times. My connection is usually VERY good, and I’m quite often the first to “join the match”, so I’ve gotten Galilea each time, but no Ambras…

I personally love both Ambra and Galilea, but I would NEVER play Ambra in PVP - I don’t need someone berzerker rushing me every flipping game ffs lol…

Apparently this Lore Challenge is getting Copy/pasted onto Alani.
Not sure if that helps or hurts Galilea Lore Completion or if it’s just lazy.
Regardless, Assists should count if they are going to make teaming Alani with Galilea versus Ambra a thing or else poaching will be an issue for frustration as well.

This is one of the worst lore “challenges” in the game. Its a terrible design and more reliant on luck than skill.

I just felt so proud I had to say this somewhere. I GOT IT. Me and my girl used gali (her) and Alani (me) and in two matches I went up 20 Ambra kills :smiley: Needless to say, one match was a stomping ground. But they combo really well with the stuns, aoe, and overall high damage.
Hint for it, (I know it sucks but if your’e going to try anyway and there happens to be an ambra) get the Dot on her riptide (Slow may be tempting to counteract her movement speed bonus, but the knockback and high damage destroys her shield and ruins her escape). Go with the flow, obviously. Hit her with an ult every time you land a geyser. To land, place under her while she’s attacking you - if you’re lucky she won’t make it out aand her range isn’t great anymore. Then riptide while she’s in bubble. Even though she’s airborne, the dots will still shrek her pretty badly. Ult if you haven’t already. And basic every chance you get.
I know the odds of facing an ambra, particularly a lower skill one than you, are slim. But you never know. I wasn’t expecting that at all. And it happened.

However, the lore is still poorly done. Hers, Gali’s, Whiskey, and Toby’s ult one. They all need fixing. But hey, if you can get it, do :smiley:

I finally got it after 2 days of ambra hunting(elusive bastards)

#58

Took me like a month to get this ■■■■. The main problem is that most good players will protect their Ambra, especially knowing there’s a Gals/Alani on the other team. Also, the overshield -> run away with +30% movement speed makes it a bitch to finish her off, even if do you get the jump on her when no one is around to 2v1 you. This must be GBX’s way of repenting for making Gals so strong back in the betas :sweat_smile:

#59

I would really like to read the lore, but I hate PVP to begin with, and am NEVER going to complete this one.

I don’t suppose anyone who has finished it could screenshot it and post it here…?

#60

Looking for Gali or Alani? I’m curious about the Gali one, too.
There’s also a thread where I posted 3 of the Alani lores. Can probably find it or a better one searching Alani lore :stuck_out_tongue:

@kennysded:

We are in the Galilea sub forums, so I was referring to Galilea’s version of the “Kill Ambra 25 times.” challenge.

#62

Oh, sorry, I hop too many threads and didn’t notice :slight_smile: in that case I second your motion, pics or it didn’t happen! Upload the lore!

#63

I helped a friend get the Addonexus challenge after talking with some other folks about it. We found out that the easiest place is at the last set of Waves in the Renegade.

Take gear that increases skill damage, and take the Exploding Blade rush, and the one that deals more damage the farther it travels. and basically aim it at a group of either primal or evolved thrall that appear at the 2 landing pads outside of where Caldarius is located.

First run out and he got the lore challenge.

#64

…Just adding that this is the last part of the Galilea lore I have left to Master her, it’s frustrating.

#65

Adding again that I’ve been doing this challenge practically since the day it came out and still haven’t finished. Ambra players are even less common these days. I’ve had an easier time with Alani (even though I’ve been working on hers since she was released for season pass holders and beta players and only have gotten to 15), I believe because it’s easier with a ranged character. Galilea is still at 5. This is ridiculous. Even averaging about 6-12 kills a game with Galilea, which I believe constitutes being a decent player with her, still no dice.
A challenge shouldn’t solely be based on luck or having to plead with opposing Ambras for free kills. 25 times is simply too much, Gearbox.

Gearbox knows. In the next patch, which should be coming this week or next, they’re tweaking a lot of the lore challenges and have specifically mentioned that they’re fixing the “Kill X character” lores by reducing the number required to 5 and having both kills and assists count for credit. You’ll still have to get lucky finding an Ambra on the other side, but it shouldn’t be too hard to get 5 kills/assists in a single game (also, if the patch drops, I think they’re keeping your existing credit so you’ll probably long in to see that you’ve got the lore challenge done when it drops).

#68

Thank you - I heard rumors about this but I never found the thread. Last I heard they were thinking about reducing to 10 but decided it would cause too many issues.

#69

Now it’s worse. I had killed ambra 15 times and with the update my trophy popped but my lore is stuck at 80somthin percent completion and I can’t get my gear and skin for completing. It’s weird because the lore page is completed. Smh

#70

All the lore completion is bugged. You’re not alone.

Send in a ticket. Complete a match with said character first, or it doesn’t pop properly on the computer. If that doesn’t work, send in a ticket. They’ll have to manually fix it for you.

#72

I didn’t play a lot of PVP until lately. Now I’m mostly playing because I need to get some lore challenges.
Played against an Ambra (a good one too) and only got one kill. What’s worse was I was basically throwing myself at the other team just trying to wound her in the hopes that ONE of my teammates would finish her off.
Nope.
So, any tips, strategies, builds, or gear you can recommend to really do a LOT of damage to Ambra would be helpful. Thanks in advance!

#73

That’s some bad luck. Literally every match I play has one on their team.
