EMPOWERED SCHOLAR - Boss Fight (Short 3), Borderlands 3: Guns, Love, and Tentacles
Borderlands 3: Guns, Love, and Tentacles
Description
Borderlands 3 is a chaotic looter-shooter renowned for its zany humor and endless weapon variations. The Guns, Love, and Tentacles DLC adds a Lovecraftian twist to this formula. Within this expansion, the Empowered Scholar serves as a significant boss fight during the mission "The Case of Wainwright Jakobs." This Bonded cult member is sent to the Dustbound Archives on Xylourgos to eliminate the Vault Hunter seeking a cure for Wainwright. The encounter is multi-phased. The Scholar attacks with magma and summons allies, becoming invulnerable and regenerating health from floating Shards that must be destroyed quickly. This forces players to manage platforms and adapt elemental damage types (incendiary, corrosive, shock) as the boss gains shields and armor. Defeating the Empowered Scholar allows progress and grants a chance at the "Oldridian" SMG and "Void Rift" shield, the latter offering unique cryo effects. The fight is often challenging due to the Scholar's health, resistances, and regeneration mechanic, emphasizing tactical play and resource management.
