Some issues starting "The Kevin Konundrum" have been reported.
IGN says "IMPORTANT NOTE: there’s a bug that sometimes messes with the side quest markers. This side quest is given by Claptrap who is on the Sanctuary ship but the marker may initially appear on The Droughts, Pandora. If you see the marker on The Droughts, Pandora go there and then return to Sanctuary and you’ll see the marker has been moved to Claptrap"
Unconfirmed at this time if it works

Thanks Jargon for the missing missions

Still waiting for that Kevin Konundrum patch so I don't have to start the whole game over again...

So I was at 96% for this, with Baby Dancer and the 3 circles to complete. The game glitched on the first slaughter wave so it got shelved for a while.

Just come back to it, completing said circle of slaughter. My tracker moved back to 1%…. I’ve now completed the other two circles and am somehow on 4%, dreading when I finish Baby Dancer tomorrow… will update as to what happens

Update: no issues - this and UVH popped as they should on completing Baby Dancer - phew!

Thank you for the guide. Cistern of slaughter never showed in my completed missions list but the achievement still popped after finishing all other missions. I retried it again just to see but it never shows in the list, for me at least.

Hey just a heads up... the Maliwan Takedown missions are not required for this achievement. This was a post launch add-on.

I'd like to add that you MUST COMPLETE THE CIRCLE OF SLAUGHTER MISSIONS to get the side quest achievement to unlock. I did the last mission on my list and didn't get the cheev to pop, double checked my completed mission list and saw that I had everything done that was listed in this solution. Then I realized that even though I did the "Welcome to Slaughterstar 3000" I didn't actually complete the circle of slaughter itself. After turning in the mission, once I completed the arena, I got the achievement to pop. Hope this helps.

Welcome to Slaughterstar 3000

You also need to complete all six Eridian trials and all three Circles of Slaughter. My achievement popped when I'd finished the last Eridian trial.

The rare spawn missions given in sanctuary are not needed.

Hi, I've read the complete thread about the DD, but I've still one doubt 'bout them..how many times should I do the DD mission? One or several times?
I'm asking this as I wanna complete all side missions and it still pops up as undone
And my last doubt is about the mission "Kill XXX", where should I find them? I've read on Sanctuary but I'm not that sure I can find them there
(Note I've finished the game in normal mode)

Thank you

Question. How many dynasty dash missions are there? I’ve found the one in Pandora and the one in Reliance, Floodmoor Basin. It still has not popped. Thank you!
