Tales from Elpis | Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel | As Claptrap, Walkthrough, Gameplay, No Commentary

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, developed by 2K Australia in collaboration with Gearbox Software, acts as a narrative bridge between the original Borderlands and its acclaimed sequel. Set on Pandora's moon, Elpis, and its orbiting Hyperion space station, the game charts the dramatic ascent of Handsome Jack from a Hyperion programmer to the infamous villain of Borderlands 2. This installment is lauded for its signature cel-shaded art style, offbeat humor, and the introduction of engaging new gameplay mechanics. The low-gravity environment of Elpis significantly alters combat, allowing for higher jumps and a new vertical dimension to battles. Crucially, the necessity of oxygen tanks, or "Oz kits," adds a layer of survival strategy, forcing players to manage their oxygen supply while exploring and fighting. The inclusion of cryo and laser elemental damage types further enhances combat possibilities, offering satisfying tactical options like freezing enemies to shatter them or utilizing futuristic laser weaponry. Among the many engaging side missions that populate this lunar landscape, "Tales from Elpis" stands out as a quintessential example of the Borderlands experience. Offered by the delightfully eccentric Janey Springs, this mission tasks players with recovering lost ECHO recorders containing her unique children's stories. These recorders are strategically placed, often requiring players to engage in light platforming, such as navigating gas vents near lava rivers, or to battle formidable enemies like kraggons guarding Janey's camp. The final recorder is famously dropped by a boss-like foe, the "Son of Flamey," necessitating tactical combat and an awareness of environmental hazards. Upon their return, Janey’s humorous reactions to her rediscovered tales perfectly encapsulate the game's comedic tone. Completing "Tales from Elpis" rewards players with experience and a useful sniper rifle, but more importantly, it offers a delightful glimpse into the whimsical and sometimes dark imagination of one of Elpis's more colorful inhabitants, enriching the player's understanding of the world and its inhabitants.
