Once you pick up your first gun you will get a new marker. Follow Claptrap for a bit and you will eventually run into some Bullymongs. All of the ones you will fight, for now, are Monglets and Brat Bullymongs, who simply try to run up to you and perform a melee attack. So, if you keep your distance, then you will be fine. Just keep an eye on your health and check loot crates if you need more. After dispatching the second set of them, go and help Claptrap out of the snow and keep going until you come to the first boss of the game!

Boss: Knuckle Dragger

Knuckle Dragger is a pretty basic boss, as it only really has three moves in its arsenal, all of which can be easily dodged. The boss can pick up rocks and throw them at you, but they can be easily avoided by moving constantly. The second attack involves the boss leaping into the air and trying to land on you, dealing damage on contact. The last move it can do is the same as the Bullymongs you’ve encountered thus far, which is a melee attack.

Knuckle Dragger can be shot in the head to gain critical damage and kill him faster.

The best way to keep healthy while fighting Knuckle Dragger is to keep moving, as there is little chance that it’ll hit you if you do. Note that once its health gets to a certain point, it will jump out of the arena and sic some Bullymongs on you (Monglets and Brats), then join back in the party shortly afterwards. However, if you do enough damage, then it’s possible to skip this phase, although it’s still possible that the Bullymongs will spawn.

After the battle, pick up Claptrap’s eye ball. Now all you have to do is find someone to fix his eye. Claptrap says that Sir Hammerlock in Liar’s Berg can help, despite the desire to shove your hand into his eye socket.

Make your way towards a Hyperion barge where Claptrap will try and open the security door, but it won’t open for him. The woman who appeared on your screen before returns, using phase shift to open the door for you, mentioning about being an AI and connected to just about everything on the planet. Go into the next room, where you’ll find some loot crates and a big chest. Open it for some ammo and a new weapon, then talk to Claptrap to finish the mission.
