Navigate the 'Ell in Shining Armor' side mission in Borderlands 2's Assault on Dragon Keep DLC. Get tips and strategies to complete this quest with ease.

Hey there, Vault Hunter! Ready to dive into another one of Tiny Tina's wild adventures? This time, we're tackling the 'Ell in Shining Armor' side mission. It's a bit of a unique one, sending you into a fantasy realm where you'll need to protect a damsel in distress. Don't worry, I'll walk you through it step-by-step so you can get that sweet loot!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Starting the Mission: You'll pick this up from a quest giver in the Dragon Keep. Listen to what they have to say, and then it's time to head out.
  2. 2
    Entering the Dungeon: Follow your objective marker into the dungeon. It's going to look like a classic fantasy dungeon crawl, so get ready for some traps and, of course, enemies.
  3. 3
    Escorting Ell: Your main job here is to keep Ell safe. She'll move forward on her own, but she's not exactly a combat powerhouse. You'll need to clear out any enemies that spawn and get in her way. Think of yourself as her personal bodyguard.
  4. 4
    Wave Defense: Expect to face several waves of enemies as you progress. They'll come from different directions, so keep your eyes peeled and your guns ready. Use cover when you can, and don't let Ell get overwhelmed.
  5. 5
    Boss Encounter (Optional/Varied): Depending on the exact setup, you might encounter a mini-boss or a tougher group of enemies guarding the exit or a key point. Focus fire on the biggest threats first.
  6. 6
    Reaching the End: Once you've cleared out the final wave and Ell has reached her destination, the mission will be complete.
Tips
  • Keep an eye on Ell's health, though she usually has a decent amount of her own. Your main concern is preventing her from being swarmed.
  • Elemental weapons can be super effective against certain enemy types you'll encounter in these fantasy-themed areas.
  • Don't be afraid to use your action skill to clear out tough waves quickly.
  • Loot everything! You never know what valuable gear or ammo you might find.
