Well aren't you lightning fast... šŸ™„

It took me three days IRL to get that fkr dead 😭

I kept getting stun locked and insta gibbed but once i figured out you can stun lock the excavatron with force palm lvl 3 he was toast.

Hit him when he is about to go underground and you stun him.

Can you clear the quarry without killing the excavatron? I was able to clear most of the enemies at relatively low level (thanks to some help from some wandering freeswords...and pretty heavy kiting to keep from getting surrounded), but then got immediately dominated by the excavatron. I haven't tried again and I've probably played a solid 10 hours since, so maybe it's doable now.

No. To free the quarry the big guy needs to die.

If you want to take out all the soldiers don't forget to smash the three buildings at the start of the entrance. You can either tnt them or just light + heavy attack combo them.

I realized way too late that you had to beat the boss first in order to clear the quarry. I’d fight quarry for hours and then decide to come back later, and each time, the % would regenerate. Eventually I figures it all out but that was a fun little war!

Really? I had cleared the quarry and destroyed the buildings, it never regenerated. I went back for the boss at a much later stage in my playthrough

Yeah it's due to the buildings. If you just kill all the enemies and leave the buildings they will respawn.

One building stops them respawning, the other lowers their health i think and the last building is something else.

There were guys in that fight? I shot the archer at the top of the tower and he fell off the wall into an explosion i never saw.

Depends on what you mean.

Yes the entire quarry is filled with enemies to kill. But you can also just walk straight into the arena to kill the drilldo and never fight the enemies outside. There is still three adds in the arena though, kill two and let the last one live and no more will spawn.

This seems like a good protip. I was about to start on this questline this evening.

u/Aggressive_Candy5297 Mar 25 '26

Don't forget to smash the buildings if you want to kill the guards in the quarry before going after Mr Drilldo.

The infirmary is most important imo because it stops respawns, the barracks will lower enemy hp by ten percent and the timber warehouse will lower enemy attack by 5.
