How to unlock the It's Like That One Video achievement

    In the DLC Tiny Tinas Assault on Dragons Keep (towards the end), youll find yourself in an area called Hatreds Shadow. Continue along the only path until you come to a broken bridge on your right and a cave on your left. A little past those you will end up with a large entrance on your left and a small area with a bonfire to the slight right. Go down into that small area and there is a cave across from the bonfire that is marked as an enemy named 'The Darkness'. All you have to do is shoot at The Darkness until it is 'dead' and the achievement will pop.

    Killing The Darkness with anything will get the achievement to pop but to get the door behind it to open you will need to kill it with a specific grenade mod called Magic Missile which is a random drop off wizards, necromancers, (both of whom will drop a blue version) and badass wizards (who drop the purple version). Inside you will find a dice treasure chest. Some people have claimed that killing The Darkness with magic missle did not make the achievement pop but trying again (leaving the area and returning) with a gun did so its advised to kill it without magic missile.

    The whole bit itself is in reference to the comedy sketch by The Dead Ale Wives.

    AckterQuick note: I've had trouble getting this to unlock using the Magic Missile. Unlocked first time with a regular weapon, though.

    Dark2099For context, here is an animated version of the sketch. This video was originally seen after the credits in the game "Summoner".

    GoGoActionTeamHm. Thats an odd one Ackter. I havent heard of anyone having that problem...if anyone else has, please comment so I can update the solution. The good thing about it though is it respawns if you quit out of the game but I would still like to add a bit about that if its something thats happening to multiple people.

    BrokenKnghtI just experienced the same as Ackter. Used magic missile, but no achievement. Reloaded and used regular gun and it popped right away.

    Lyco499It's worth noting that it seems to only unlock for however actually killed it, so even if you damage it, and a co op partner gets the kill, it won't unlock. The same can be said for other similar achievements like the one for killing a chubby.

    Elite1111111111Yeah I think Magic Missile doesn't unlock it because it doesn't kill the Darkness, it just despawns it and opens the door.

    MetalsocksAfter trying to unlock this achievement a few times I can confirm magic missle does NOT work. I killed it with a corrosive shotgun and it unlocked.

    Rista BI can't get this to unlock. Killed it 4 times with different weapons (never used any grenades). Darkness dies, I get the XP, I can see the door. No achievement. WTF
