How To Beat Troy Calypso In Borderlands 3

Just like other bosses and enemies, Troy is weakest when you shoot him in the head. That is what you should be aiming for. Lastly, we recommending having high shields and health in order to survive the encounter. With that out of the way, we can move on to the boss encounter and how you can beat Troy Calypso in Borderlands 3.

Dash Attack
This is a tricky move to dodge as it happens very fast and you do not get a clue regarding when Troy is going to use this move. Running to the side as fast as possible is one way of dealing with this move. You can also jump just before Troy lands this move in order to avoid damage.
Rockets Attack
You can counter this attack by moving sideways.
Shockwave Attack
You can counter this attack by moving sideways.
Pillars Of Fire
Troy will try and recharge and when that happens, Pillars of Fire will appear. You can avoid them by staying clear of anything that is glowing around you. This will keep you out of harms way.
Rock Sword Attack
In the third phase of the encounter, Troy is going to make a large sword made out of rocks that he will slam on the ground. You can avoid damage by moving around.
Rock Throws
