Nel is a non-player character and Mini-Boss at Moon Zoomy Run in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel.

Involvement

Nel is found leaning against a wall at Moon Zoomy Run where he acts as a simple mission objective in Last Requests. The objective is to interact with him and deliver an insult, at which point he crumples into a sobbing wreck on the ground.

Nel can also be fought after said mission has been completed as a "Boss" style fight.

Appearances

Strategy

In order to fight Nel two large signs with the letters "D" and "K" must be retrieved from tops of two buildings - the leaning tower to the east, and the IC 57 building just south of Nel. They then need to be placed on the IC 57 wall to spell the word "DICK". The letters can be retrieved by anyone with a sufficiently capacious Oz Kit - they require use of jump pads and O2 vent jets plus skillful double-jumping, and nothing else. However, Nel and the mobs spawned by him scale similarly to Iwajira, being around level 29 in Normal and 50 in TVHM, meaning they should be fought much later in said playthroughs.

After the letters have been placed he will message, sounding unhappy to have been insulted again. He will then walk to a specific location, where waves of Scavs, Lil' Scavs and Badass Scavs attack. Once they are defeated, Nel becomes hostile and can be fought. Being resistant to incendiary damage, Nel makes prolific use of said attacks, but is otherwise relatively trivial considering his health, lack of shields and vulnerability to freeze.

Notes

  • Nel has a 33% chance to drop the Skullmasher Sniper Rifle.
