Lair of the Harpy

[[Category:The Anvil missions]]

Lair of the Harpy is a story mission in Borderlands 3 given by Sir Hammerlock.

Background

"Aurelia Hammerlock, Sir Hammerlock's sister and CEO of the Jakobs Corporation, is offering to pay you to leave Eden-6. She's invited you to Jakobs Manor to negotiate. It's almost certainly a trap. It's also the only way to find the Eden-6 Vault Key."

Walkthrough

Objectives

Return to Floodmoor Basin
Talk to Wainwright
Go to Jakobs Manor
Ride lift
Ring doorbell
Go to dining hall
Survive ambush
Go to theater
Kill Anointed goliath
Enter projection booth
Unlock trap door
Enter secret room
Find Vault Key clue
Take record
Exit through cellar
Return to Wainwright
Give record to Wainwright

Strategy:

Billy, the Anointed is a fearsome foe. Not only he is tough, but also fast and also ignores walls.

Attacks:

Punch: punches the target.

Pounce: Jumps far producing a shock shockwave of medium range upon landing.

Burning Skulls: spews few burning projectiles that slowly home on their target and produce an Incendiary field on impact.

Clap shockwave: claps producing shockwave of supposedly unlimited range (goes through walls).

Shock bolt: tosses an energy grenade-like bolt of shock element. Usually at close range.

Skulls may be destroyed or even evaded.
Shockwave can be jumped over but only when it runs low enough.
- Naturally if you are above Billy the shockwave can't hit you at all. He will attempt to close the distance by Phasewalking up to you.

Pounce is easiest to avoid as simply timing the jump correctly protects from it.
Billy has no shield, so Incendiary attacks work well.
As expected, his head is hit crit spot.

Local Fanatics may provide Second Wind opportunities.

Completion

"Still can't believe the Calypsos murdered my father. I need to get my record player working, but you know Aurelia's gonna send all those damn zealots to find us. If we're gonna last enough to open that Vault, we'll need an army of our own. I'm talking a Jakobs resistance."

Turn In: Wainwright Jakobs
