    Just like in the 360 version you will encounter goliath all around the game. First appearing in Frostburn Canyon (an the best place to get the achievement).

    Once you spot one remove it's mask, so it show it's horrible face and becomes enraged.

    After this, lure him near enemies so that he kills them and start evolving.

    He goes through:
    Goliath--> Enraged Goliath-->Badass Goliath-->Super Badass Goliath-->Ultimate Badass Goliath-->Fatal GOD-liath

    Be careful, he es extremely weak against fire/corrode, so any Pyro near them might kill him. Try to damage all enemies around before removing his mask so he has an easier time killing everybody. Also killing Spiderants is rather fast and easy for him to evolve.

    The amount of enemies he needs to kill will depend on the enemy itself. But in my case he killed about 3 Pyros, 2 Nomad, 8-9 Psycho and more than 10 Spider Ants before reaching the Fatal GOD-Liath state.

    VeryMetalChewieI got this on the 360 but can't get it on the one, is this because I'm using the same character? Will it pop if I start a new character? Anybody know anything about this?

    GrdAdThrawn1This didn't pop during co-op, but my lvl 71 Commando in Frostburn Canyon on True Vault hunter picking off anyone with elemental (Fire) that could kill my goliath. Just stay out of his LOS unless you need to move him elsewhere.

    Here's a video guide if you prefer


    Requires you to let a Goliath level up 4 times (Fatal GOD-liath) before killing him.

    Best area to do this on would be “Frostburn Canyon”.

    Watch out for Pyros who do heavy damage to Goliaths and make sure to damage surrounding enemies to allow the Goliath to get easy kills, also look out for barrels and explosives try shooting them when your Goliath is at a safe distance.

    Having a character with elemental perks or a shield with elemental damage will make it hard to control the damage you cause to the surrounding enemies, I would advise using a character without those type of perks or shields.

    I have found that the easiest place to do this on Xbox One is in Thousand Cuts when you have to get to the end area with the Slab King. Knock off a Goliath's helmet and let him kill all the midgets that run around. Make sure he doesn't die!!! You can shoot the midgets once or twice to weaken them. I just killed a few of the normal sized enemies and the other Goliath(s) that came out so they didn't kill the one I was leveling up. It was pretty easy honestly.

    Good luck and Cheers!!
