How to unlock the Blood Sucking Freak achievement

    Actions
    The quest can be found and started on the Sanctuary III in Claptraps room.
    After picking it up wait a second until the small box on the table opens up as it will gift you 500 Eridium for free. Next head to Darkthirst Dominion and simply follow the quest marker.

    @evomat91 told us in the comments that
    "If anyone is having trouble with this go into the invincible game with level 11 mayhem start the fight then turn the mayhem of. It says will reload achievement then unlocks".
    -> As several people have confirmed it looks like it works on the second attempt. Please look in the comment section below to find out if the trick still works and share your experience. I will try to update the guide frequently.
    -> I still recommend doing this the normal way with just killing him.

    NOTE:
    To fight against this Boss you will have to pay 500 Eridium - that means if you die you have to pay the 500E again in order for another try. You will face a huge door which only opens once you payed the price.
    NOTE2: @SideKick Dan pointed out that after respawing the door was still open. He only had to repay after he left the level to grabed some different weapons and came back.

    I suggest to disable any Mayhem/Chaos mode and play on normal difficulty.

    After entering the arena you will have to kill a few mobs and Hemovorous the Invincible will mutate a few times before you will face his final form and the real fight begins.

    The Boss himself got two health bars:
    The first one is yellow (Corrosive will melt through Armor).
    The second one is red (Incendiary damage tears through Flesh).

    Regarding his attacks I suggest to not stand still and always keep moving while shooting.
    You can dodge some of the attacks with moving/jumping over it.

    Down below you can find a helpful video and I suggest you to watch it before fighting him by yourself.
    I killed him solo in my first try and the achievement popped straight after he died but only two seconds later I died too and wasn't able to loot him facepalm.

    Good luck fellow Vault Hunters!

    Spartan 343xThank god this boss is done for me but random question for those who have more time in this game, but are there any more bosses that require Erdium or this the only one?

    Lynchno92Mayhem 11 glitch still working as of 4th March 2024

    KriostyxI found using the glitch unnecessary, I have a max lvl ( 72 ) character and it turns out the boss didn't keep up with its levels when I went at it in normal ( not mayhem ) mode. I think it was lvl 59 or something.

    I'm probably barely average when it comes to skill in Borderlands and my character build is probably all over the place, but at a level difference that big, the boss was an absolute pushover.

    So don't sweat it with this boss, assuming you have all the DLC so your max level is 72. Just play through everything else, get Guardian ranks after finishing the main story and tackle this when you feel like it. The loot isn't anything special of course since it's all underleveled but no need to glitch it out.

    Same thing with The Seer with the "Mysteriouslier" questline. When I was a couple of levels below The Seer, I found my DPS was just not enough to reasonably fight it, but it stayed at level 59 ish as I was lvl 72 when I turned off Mayhem mode.

    This honestly surprised me, I expected this and The Seer to keep leveling up with me. But no, they fall FAR behind you with the leveling. Just tackle this at lvl 72 and you can do it almost with you eyes closed.
