Chapter 18: The Talon of God
Talk to the various people in Sanctuary before talking to Claptrap to receive various items. Talk to Claptrap when ready then head to the Eridium Blight. Meet up with him on the marked location. Follow him to the main door and defend him from the enemy forces. Keep fighting enemy forces until Claptrap successfully opens the door. Continue upstairs to reach the Hero's Pass.
Note: The next area has tons of armored enemies so bringing in corrosive weapons will help
Once there, fight your way to the area where a hyperion barrier is deployed. Brick and Mordecai will join you so continue along the straightforward path until you reach the next area.
As soon as you reach the second barrier, keep destroying the enemies until Mordecai successfully destroys the barrier controls. Continue fighting your way until you finally reach the Vault of the Warrior.
Once inside the cavern, follow the path then use the elevator down. Activate the last fast-travel station and continue to where Lilith and Handsome Jack is. First, you'll have to fight Jack. He will be cloaked and will summon a double and a personal surveyor to restore his shield. Kill his double to force him to attack you then once he disables his cloak, lead him. His personal surveyor will appear later in the battle, restoring his shield. Destroy it immediately and continue shooting him whenever you can to end the first phase of the battle.
Not so handsome after all
Fighting the Warrior should be easy enough, if you haven't had problems fighting Jack. The Warrior will summon volcanic crystalisks which can be ignored if your shields are high enough to render most of their attacks useless. Otherwise, you may want to deal with them first.
Throughout the battle, the lava level will rise, making your combat area smaller. Don't forget to use the resupply station as well to recover some ammo. Aim for the Warrior's chest since it is its weak point. Use the stone pillars to take cover from its fire and shockwave attacks. It also dives and emerge from diffrent directions so use your minimap to guide you where it appears.
.... what warrior?
After the battle, you can now finally kill the Jack. Think of the most satisfying way for you to kill them then get rid of the scum. As a bonus objective, you can talk to Lilith and let her get her vengeance.
Next, examine the Key to complete the mission and end the game.
After the credits, you'll unlock a new playthrough called the True Vault Hunter mode. This will feature new and tougher enemies, get better loot and earn more levels. You can select this from the main menu. You can also finish the remaining optional missions you may have.
