Changes: Nine-Toes

Revision as of 19:38, 13 September 2016

Nine Toes is the first of many bandit lords, as well as the first boss the character will battle in the game. Although he is a boss, he's usually not much of a challenge.

Background

Even Nine-Toes doesn't know how he lost his toe. He suspects that Bone Head took it to use in his voodoo ceremonies. (From the official Borderlands guide)

Nine-Toes is an insane bandit lord who resides in Skag Gully. He commands some of the Bandits in the Arid Badlands and has two pet skags that he uses to guard his lair. The lair itself is set up in a cave system, close enough to stage frequent raids on Fyrestone. Reportedly, Nine-Toes is also in competition with Bone Head, a rival bandit.

It is suspected that Nine-Toes based his camp in Skag Gully in response to a challenge issued by Sledge, seen in the mission Why Are They Here? Possibly to try and compete with Bone Head.

Involvement

Players spend a large portion of the early game building up to Nine-Toes, including eliminating a small encampment of bandits just outside of Fyrestone. Once they are taken care of, the next objective is to enter Skag Gully and kill Nine-Toes himself. He is holed up in a cave hideout, with several bandits guarding him. Once these are dispatched Nine-Toes and his two skags will be found in a small arena at the back of the cave.

Quotes

He says all the quotes of a normal psycho, but in a much more calm voice. There are also some lines that are unique to him:

"You woke the wrong dog! Aww YEAH!" (Cutscene, accompanied by a pelvic thrust)
"I'll rip your arm off and beat your baby with it!" (Sometimes at the beginning of the battle)
"You remind me of my mother. I ATE my mother" (when encountered in Mad Moxxi's Underdome)
"Oh god! Oh god!!" (When on low health)
"Get away!" (When on low health)
"Somebody help!!" (When on low health)

Notes

Nine-Toes will respawn along with everything else in Skag Gully (although his skag pets won't), so he can be killed again for his loot.
Just as with the skags in Skag Gully, once your character's level is high enough Nine-Toes will level accordingly with the player, and The Clipper, dropped when he dies, will be similarly upgraded.
On Playthrough 2, Nine-Toes is Level 35.
Nine-Toes also appears as a boss in Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot.
Nine-Toes drops The Clipper

Trivia

A pre-release promotional video (and his in-game cutscene intro) introduces Nine-Toes with the tag line, "Also, he has 3 balls".
Nine-Toes is presented as being concerned with protecting his unusual number of gonads, as he wears a metal sign saying "Safety First" for a codpiece.
Judging by his quotes, outfit, and behavior, Nine-Toes is some sort of psycho that hasn't completely lost his sanity.
It is presumed that Nine-Toes lost one of his toes by accidentally dropping The Clipper on it, which is implied in the gun's description saying: "Don't drop it... might lose a toe".
The pet skags fight with Nine-Toes feature the names "Pinky", and "Digit", furthering the theme of toes used with this character.
Nine-Toes will perform a crotch chop when he is encountered.

+Nine-Toes is an insane bandit lord who resides in [[Skag Gully]]. He commands some of the Bandits in the [[Arid Badlands]] and has two pet [[skag]]s that he uses to guard his lair. The lair itself is set up in a cave system, close enough to stage frequent raids on [[Fyrestone]]. Reportedly, Nine-Toes is also in competition with [[Bone Head]], a rival bandit.
-Players spend a large portion of the early game building up to Nine Toes. Killing him is a primary quest objective and in order reach him players must first pass through a chain of quests involving encounters with many of Nine Toes' subordinates.
+It is suspected that Nine-Toes based his camp in Skag Gully in response to a challenge issued by Sledge, seen in the mission Why Are They Here? Possibly to try and compete with Bone Head.
-Once killed, Nine Toes has a chance to drop a rare item called [[The Clipper]], a Vladof weapon with the fire rate of a SMG, and the punch and accuracy of a Pistol. This weapon shoots incendiary rounds and is equipped with a blade that increases melee damage. This is a good weapon for every class; Melee for brick, Elemental damage for Lilith, Accuracy for Mordecai, and fire rate and damage for Roland.

-He is not very difficult but he does have a large amount of health. Although once he has received some damage he will summon [[Skag]] hounds to attack, his two pets Pinky and Digit. If you are in a group divert at least one person to [[Skag]] defense. It has also been noted that you can climb into the bleachers to avoid the [[Skag|Skags]]. Aim for head shots to gain extra critical damage and keep moving around the circular room to make yourself a harder target to hit.
