I don't think you've quite understood how the battle went from your intro... the O-Negative/Slag transfusion was vital to keep above 50% health (would be far harder with Magic Missile) - and this will be very difficult to do with any character other than zero as deception kept you alive multiple times, and gave you the time to heal and get the bee shield back up.
Yeah you're probs right the magic missile would be worse, but I feel that if you change the timing of throwing that nade you can get a similar effect. As for deception being the saving grace though, I feel that any other character with skill points is more equipped than a base deception
@@pintoescort thats not exactly accurate, but since likely what happened was the pseudo b0re glitch, which gives guns the b0re effect without damage stacking, that happens when you have b0re and respec to get rid of it
I'm seeing a trend with these videos that go along like "Killing raid bosses is easy! You just need these extremely powerful guns/shields that you can only get from beating raid bosses."
Let's think about this for a quick minute. In borderlands 2 If you didn't get excellent quality of loot from killing a raid boss or any kind of loot and high xp, what would be the point of even having a raid boss in a game?
Sandhawk is a story mission reward from Captain Scarlet's DLC, so you can dashboard until you get a fire version. The bee shield can be obtained in the vanilla game (hunter Hellquist - Arid Nexus Boneyard) or by farming the Treants of the Forest in Tiny Tina's DLC. The grog nozzle pistol is a mission weapon from the Beard Make's the Man mission in Tiny Tina's DLC. That's all you need, and they are all easy to get.
Hey guys, I didn't realize this video was getting so much attention and put it on the backburner for awhile. It's been awhile since I've touched zero, so in order to answer all these questions below I'll be retesting this method on multiple characters over the next couple weeks.
As an update, I had tried Sal and Axton. I had some trouble recreating this with Sal, but big trouble with Axton. Edit: Def seems impossible with Axton at the very least.

Dude I don't get it did you edit the screen to make it look like you didn't place your points? I'm using the same load out as gaige using the shield glitch and still doing nothing for damage. I've been fighting this dude for literally the last 8 hours without luck
I know you wrote this comment 2 years ago but I think you missed the point lol. You don’t need to use anarchy. The point of the video is to show you don’t need any skill points, honestly a bee shield and a sand hawk can almost take on anything the game can throw at you
Thank you for the advice. I think two attempts after watching this video, I killed Hyperius on Axton, lvl 72 UVHM with fire Hail, Slagga, double up turret, and hornet for the loader minions.
Dang that's where I'm at and still can't do it. Theres so much to this game wish I didn't waste so much time on borderlands 3 before i picked up the handsome jack collection. I find borderlands 3 too easy i have a weapon set up that I figured out after play through 2 and can kill anything easily. It's no fun
Bruh. Tried this method, and 1 of the ground pounds ends in immediate fight for your life. Also happens if behind cover or mid air, instant fight for your life. So... thats cool
Do you know the health-gate mechanic? Essentially it says if you're above 50% health then 1 hit can't kill you, it will just knock you down to 1 health... you then need to get back above 50% health before you are hit again. The key to this fight is to be ready to heal (with grenades or grog nozzle) as soon as you take damage.
@@marcuscooper9544 i promise ive been at full health, full shield, and even a nuke from a constructor, will instantly throw me to fight for your life, among other attacks. Like 1 hit from terramorphous, or this. I have at the minimum, op2 with all characters lmao
@@braddaechsel1268 well it shouldn't, unless they've radically changed something since the last time I played. Most of Terra's attacks are multi-hit so they will get you, and Hyp's double blast wave is tricky as you have to heal between the waves. The keys to this guy surviving in this battle were the transfusion grenades, so that his healing was already in the air coming towards him when he got hit, and deception on most jumps so that nothing targeted him after he took the first hit.
@@braddaechsel1268 and if you've got an OP2 Zero then save yourself a lot of time and grief by using the singularity grenade/bore method - it's pretty simple and there are a lot of other videos on it.
@@braddaechsel1268 You have not been at full shields and full health and been one-shot killed by any enemy in the game. The health gate mechanic doesn't allow this. The strongest hits in the game reduce you from full hp to 1 hp.

Are there any tips on the sand hawk? Like I already did the sand hawk mission at lower level and don’t want to restart all over on another character. Could I reset just the scarlet dlc? If so how
Been a looong while since i've played but I'm 80% sure you just have to restart and blast through it. If I remember correctly, I would always turn off OP levels and mindlessly grind the story, then turn OP back on for the Sandhawk. It's easiest to restart when you get a couple OP levels in.
Depends on how you feel about this but wanted to mention it as an option at the very least. I don't remember what it was called but I had some sort of hex editor, weapon creator, something that I found online that I used to create another Sandhawk appropriate for my level. The game has a built in sanity checker so it will not let you spawn in a 80 billion insta kill hawk or anything like that but with some checking around the internet I did find a way to create a slightly better sandhawk than vanilla game would spawn.
When u finish the quest just chech what Sandhawk that u got..if u dont get fire sandhawk press esc and quit and enter the game again......repeat till u got the bbest sandhawk

You can optimize this a bit more by swapping to the Lady Fist after shooting some Sandhawk rounds to boost its crit damage by 800%
Well that's actually brilliant
I don’t think hyperius has a crit
@@gucci.shadow his head is a crit spot.
You can't crit Hyperius when his shield is up.

yo bro thanks i finally defeated hyperius because of your guide so thanks alot
When i try to recreate this using Sandhawk + Bee than his shield pretty much absorbs all damage i do.
How come that you pretty much ignore his shield?
He is using non elemental

@@hansennoah1 Because he's using a mod.
B0re
Do you check your CZcams channel comments? A few people have asked you questions
Apparently not but I am now lmaoo
@Notorious BIG he said he did it on axton and maya
How tf do you do so much damage??? I'm level 78, using a 77 sandhawk and he's like 78 usually. I barely tickle him.
The level of the sandhawk isn't that important, the key is the amp damage from the bee shield, and keeping it full.
Supposedly, he's using a mod to bypass his shield.
