Nine Toes, Take Him Down | Borderlands | Walkthrough, Gameplay, No Commentary

Borderlands

Description

Borderlands, a celebrated blend of first-person shooter and role-playing elements, thrusts players onto the desolate planet Pandora as Vault Hunters seeking alien riches. Its cel-shaded visuals, expansive world, and humorous narrative create a distinct gaming experience. Early in this chaotic adventure, players confront the deranged bandit lord, Nine-Toes, the first major boss encountered. Nine-Toes, an insane bandit, serves as the initial test of a Vault Hunter’s prowess. The quest to "Take Him Down" begins after assisting Dr. Zed and earning the trust of the blind, yet knowledgeable, T.K. Baha. T.K. directs players to Skag Gully, a perilous area swarming with mutated creatures, where Nine-Toes has barricaded himself. To gain entry, players must detonate explosives rigged by T.K., leading them into the heart of bandit territory. Inside Skag Gully, the path to Nine-Toes is riddled with danger and a poignant side-objective: recovering T.K.’s wife’s beloved "Lady Finger" pistol from her grave—a weapon T.K. believes essential for the impending fight. With the weapon secured, players navigate a winding cave system, preparing for the showdown in a small arena. The confrontation with Nine-Toes is a chaotic affair. Equipped with an average shield and health, he presents a formidable challenge, amplified by his two pet skags, Pinky and Digit, who join the fray once his shield is depleted. Players must utilize the arena’s pillars for cover, and incendiary weapons prove highly effective against both Nine-Toes and his animal companions. Strategic players might prioritize Nine-Toes, then use his dropped weapon, "The Clipper," an incendiary repeater pistol, against his pets. Remarkably, if Nine-Toes is defeated in a single, powerful blow, his skags may not even appear. Defeating Nine-Toes marks a significant early victory, rewarding players with experience and the unique weapon, "The Clipper." This act, however, is merely a precursor to greater threats, as T.K. Baha reveals that Nine-Toes was just a pawn in the larger scheme of his even more dangerous boss, Sledge. Nine-Toes’ peculiar nature is underscored by trivia, including a pre-release tagline, "Also, he has 3 balls," and the possibility that he lost a toe to "The Clipper" itself. His defeat is a crucial step, signaling the beginning of a larger, more perilous journey on Pandora.
