Guide Borderlands 2: Beat the Handsome Dragon

AntMag.NET

Alright, so you've made it to the 'A Game of Games' mission. This part can feel a bit like a maze, but don't sweat it! We'll get through this. Just stick close to the waypoints, and we'll be golden.

Walkthrough

1
First things first, grab that loot that's just sitting there, then run forward and use the lift.
2
You're about to enter a real labyrinth. Seriously, it's a maze. But the good news is the waypoints pop up pretty often, so just keep moving from one to the next. As you go, you'll be running into spiders and skeletons, so just keep shooting them down.
3
Eventually, you'll hit a classic 'squishy floor' puzzle. Yep, you have to run across it. There's no perfect path because the pillars are a bit out of sync, but here's the trick: give the pillars a minute or two to move up and down. You'll notice that when some are going down, the next one will be coming up. Just time your jumps and you'll make it across.
4
Keep following those waypoints. More skeletons will show up, so keep your guns ready.
5
After you've pushed through, you'll eventually find the prisoner.
6
Once the prisoner is safe, keep heading up the tower. You'll eventually come to the Sorcerer's Daughter boss fight. Take her down!
7
With her defeated, continue further up the tower until you reach the final boss of this section: the Handsome Sorcerer. Defeat him.
8
Once he's down, you'll free the princess. Take a moment to enjoy the view of the gameworld below. Congratulations, you've completed this part!

Tips

Don't get too frustrated with the squishy floor puzzle; it's all about timing. Watch the pillar patterns for a bit before you commit to running.
Keep moving! Standing still in the dungeon is a great way to get overwhelmed by the skeletons and spiders.
Make sure your gear is up to par before heading into the boss fights. A quick trip to a vendor or some farming can make a big difference.
