The Descent is a cave system accessed from the north-west of The Salt Flats, with the bottom end connecting to Eridian Promontory. Much of the area consists of shafts that must be descended and when this is done there is no path back up.

Inhabitants Edit

• Crimson Lance
• Guardians
• Trash Feeders

The Trash Feeders will be startled and take to the air shortly after the vault hunters enter the area. They are of little importance and will not attack unless provoked.

Most of the Crimson Lance and the Guardians will be found in a pitched battle in the huge chamber in the middle of the area. The vault hunters arrive on the scene from a high vantage point on one side of the conflict, so targets can be picked out with long range weapons from a safe distance, or the option of a more hectic fight can be adopted by jumping down into the fray.

Notable Enemies Edit

The only notable enemies in this are Badasses. One Badass Guardian remains hidden in front of the first Red Chest at the top and will materialise when the chest is approached.

Points of Interest Edit

There are four red chests in this area. One at the top will be apparently unguarded until a Badass Guardian appears when the chest is approached. A second one, near the first, is on a ledge to the left in the natural chimney forming the first half of the area and can be reached by jumping several thin stones protruding from the sides. A white weapons chest can also be found near the bottom of the natural chimney. The final two red chests are in the huge chamber at the bottom.

NotesEdit
