Borderlands 4: Sidney Pointylegs Boss Fight Guide
Sidney Pointylegs is a relatively simple boss to beat, but the main challenge is fighting the boss while dealing with the Ripper enemies, which continue to spawn during the battle. The green support drones (Skitter Balm) can even heal the boss during battle. It is advisable to blitz down the rest of the enemies first before focusing on the boss.
Pointylegs has three health bars: shield, health, and armor. They are vulnerable to Shock, Incendiary, and Corrosive Damage, respectively. The boss’s weak spot is its head, but once only the armor health bar remains, the head is destroyed, and you are left fighting mechanical legs without a weak spot.
| Attack | Description | Counter |
|---|---|---|
| Slam Wave | Sidney jumps high while spinning its legs and slams into the ground, sending shockwaves in all directions. | Jump over the shockwaves or stand on higher ground. |
| Buzzsaw | Mechanical legs spin while Sidney hovers back and forth, damaging players in the area. | Double jump and glide away from the boss. |
| Elemental Missiles | The boss launches a few elemental homing missiles. | Shoot the missiles, sprint in one direction, or tank them. |
- When the boss is down to its last (armor) health bar, it enters its second phase, gains a few new attacks, and becomes more aggressive.
