    This is the final boss of the Definitive Edition that you get to by following the main quest markers. I used Mac in the AP3 and Duncan in the SPDR because their killing blows are short and bursty. I prioritized attack on their gear. I switched partner and spammed the killing blows while dodging and shooting chrome shot. The boss kills you easily, so you want high damage to kill it as soon as possible. I was able to kill it in about 20 seconds. Remember, the partner switch is a devastating attack, too. Use it on cooldown.

    FoolsAndKingsVery good advice. I used Dog & Spider pretty much all the time during campaign and struggled until I read this, then it took about 45 seconds to destroy Boss +1

    AdayinI had Mack (lvl 40) in a K-9 frame with the AOK Obsidian Head, and Metal Bare Bones set gear in the other slots. +50% att/energy/def from the head, and 60-60-60 per item from the set pieces for a total 645-728-810 energy. Took the boss down to just under 50% and did a swap attack with Mack to autoinstamurder the boss. I was legit surprised at how quick this boss battle was.

    ZangorI would love to get this achievement but the problem is, I have already beaten the boss and the achievement didn't unlock.

    THIS GAME IS SO BUGGY.

    The Black Eye of Obsidian achievement is unlocked after defeating Sky Slasher, the Obsidian Cult overlord. Defeating this boss concludes the story of the Definitive Edition Title update for ReCore. It is story related and cannot be missed. Post-game play is permitted after defeating this boss.

    Story related activities required before this encounter include:
    --Unlocking the T8-NK frame in the Renegade Vault responding to Violet's tasking
    --Completing the Tumbledown Dungeon in The Cradle to gain access to the Starving Sea
    --In the Starving Sea, completing the Brimstone Cut, Well of Shadows, & Scalding Cell dungeons to gain access to the Obsidian Eye dungeon where the Obsidian Cult overlord resides

    Defeat the high level enemies outside the Eye of Obsidian Dungeon. There is a fast travel point just south of the dungeon that provides the most convenient access. Eye of Obsidian is a level 36 dungeon but it requires only 12 prismatic cores to access. By virtue of making it this far, you will have well exceeded this number. Once you enter, there is a fast travel point just inside. Use it to adjust your crew to your liking. From your entry point, in a corner to the immediate left, is a health booster. This is the only collectible in the dungeon. Enter the main hall.

    After a cut scene, Sky Slasher appears. He will be assisted by some other corebots as well as by flying healers. I recommend Mack in an SP-DR frame. That combination makes available a sweeping laser attack that inflicts substantial damage to all enemies in the arena and does not have to be aimed. The fight is not difficult providing Joule evades Sky Slasher's devastating attacks.

    Defeating the boss, triggers a cut scene during which the achievement pops. Below is a video showing entry to the Eye of Obsidian dungeon, the dungeon's fast travel point, the health booster, and the boss battle. Following the achievement popping, the CoreBot loadout is shown.
