Chapter 06- Once More into the Breach
Chapter 06: Once More into the Breach
The final showdown is upon you. It’s time to summon the vault, defeat The Traveler, save Gortys, and get loot. Buckle up and get ready for a grand boss battle.
When the team arrives, Loader Bot pulls out a broken Gortys. Her core still has Rhys and Fiona imprinted on it. Put the core together and insert it. After a technical mishap, Gortys comes back and larger than ever! Bringing her back also summons The Traveler. The team splits into two and goes off to their locations.
When Fiona and Sasha arrive at the caravan on top of the hill, the moonbeam from Helios fires! Vaughn thought he could land a shot, but he missed. The moonbeam has to recharge. It should be done before Fiona and Sasha blow up the teleportation gland.
Back with Gortys, Rhys is having some trouble convincing their giant robot friend to fight. She is convinced she cannot do it. Try as you might, Gortys cannot do this alone. She decides that Rhys should pilot! Inside Gortys, Rhys sits at a control console. It honestly looks like a fighting stick control pad. It doesn’t take long to find out that Gortys has finger guns. Rhys is a pro with finger guns, as we learned on Helios. Take aim and get The Traveler’s attention. Shoot and dodge three times to line up Fiona and Sasha to teleport inside the monster.
The sisters land the teleport! The Traveler figured out that if he destroys Gortys, he disappears. He leaves Gortys to go on and destroy other things. Inside the belly of the beast, Fiona and Sasha locate the teleportation gland, which is guarded by Guardians. While they figure out a plan to destroy the gland, the game cuts back to Rhys and Gortys.
Our giant robot friend needs some more combat guidance. She takes knowledge from her pilots and learns how to fight. Luckily, you have four other team members up for grabs. Gortys sucks up Loader Bot and the three members you selected. This part will play out in a variety of ways depending on your team. The core mechanic is the same though. Follow the quicktime events (QTEs) to beat The Traveler. They play out like fighting game combos. Complete them to beat this monster up. Go, go, Vault Hunters!
When you cycle through you team members combat, the game cuts back to Fiona and Sasha inside the alien. Pick a plan and use the anti-gravity to fight your way to the gland. For each Guardian, pick a combat scenario as Fiona. Any will do, so pick what you like most. When all three are selected, execute the QTEs to kill the Guardians. Toss Sasha toward the gland and arm the bomb.
Rhys and the Gortys team are in need of an explosion. The moonbeam is near full charge and everyone is ready to end it. The Traveler is headed toward Helios to stop the blast! Fiona and Sasha are racing out of the monster with the bomb locked and loaded. Press the detonator. It won’t work! The sisters are too far away. Sasha knows what has to be done. She takes the detonator and leaves the caravan. Fiona launches out of The Traveler’s mouth. Sasha hits the switch.
After the explosion, the Gortys team has to finish off The Traveler. Vaughn fires the moonbeam and weakens the beast. Taking a giant sword, follow the QTEs to slice and dice The Traveler until he is no more.
Amongst the ashes of the battle, regroup with everyone. Rhys and Fiona find Sasha’s body nearby. She is mortally wounded. Tend to her as best you can and bid farewell. Finally give her Felix’s gift and say goodbye to your sister.
Or not. Felix’s watch does more than tell time. It heals Sasha and saves her life in a slightly comedic fashion. Group hug time! Gortys thanks both Fiona and Rhys for coming back for her and then she goes off with Loader Bot in the most adorable fashion. While the group raids nearby loot, Rhys has his eyes on the prize.
He bolts and runs toward the vault itself. Fiona is not far behind. Enjoy the back-and-forth banter. Before we enter that vault, we have two key decisions to make. Possibly the most important in the game.
With that delightful moment over, the duo enters the vault. Inside, the two discuss what their next move will be. Will Fiona take on vault hunting full time or stick with the con game? Will Rhys become the next Handsome Jack or rule Atlas peacefully? These are your choices. At the top, touch the vault and say goodbye. For now.
