"Rescue Roland" is an objective in the Story Mission A Dam Fine Rescue in Borderlands 2
Walkthrough[edit]
Head on inside and toward the vending machines. Take a little time to restock and get ready to take this dam by storm. Turn to the North and head on up the stairs and through the door in front of you. You have Psychos waiting on the other side and a marauder. The Marauder can call out tacticals, so go for him first if possible. Otherwise just blast away the Psychos as they come running toward you. Just keep going North into the next room after that.
In this room you have more Psychos but also Nomads and Marauders. Use the cover provided with the entryway, the office ahead on the right or the stairwells. Continue on through and go through the doorway in the back of the room. In the next room you just have a few bandits to deal with. Kill them and continue North.
The next room, filled with turbines, has a lot of cover and on the far side a turret the bandits will run for. You have Bruisers, Marauders, Shield Nomads and a few Psychos. While the room doesn't seem that full, the first group is the easy one. Take them out and more Bandits, in greater numbers, will appear and come at you. Use the cover on the right-hand side of the room to keep the damage lower. Defeat them and head on to the North. This will lead you to Satan's Suckhole.
There a lot of bandits in this 2 tiered area. The first come at you from around the whirlpool in the middle. Go over to the right and keep out of direct line of sight when needed. The bandits will slowly come around to the same side as you start on, but it takes time and you can easily kill them all before they do.
Start on up the ramp by going around the area. At the top you are on the second level with less cover and the second wave of bandits. Kill off everyone you can before making your way over to the Northwestern corner. You will be attacks by a few more bandits and Mad Mike. A tougher Nomad. Take them on carefully. It is not easy to win against them the first time but very doable. Just keep in cover and use the circular area of the arena to your advantage. Because of the Rocket Launcher, be sure that you are a little bit back from wherever the shots are hitting to avoid the splash damage.
With Mad Mike dead head through the Northwestern door. You have a number of Bandits and Brusiers on the other side you need to deal with. Keep going to the North. Use the cover as needed to stay alive and deal with all the fire you're under. You have made it to the farthest Northern point of this area. Head over to the West and then turn to the South. Look for a small room to the East. Head through it, dealing with the Badass Psycho in your way, and throw the switch. This will release the electrical shield you noticed in the last room. Head back there and loot the big chest.
Head to the South from that room now. You have another large room, slightly flooded, and bandits to deal with. The guard rail has some cover to offer. There is a Badass Nomad walking just in front of the others with a shield. Be sure to lob grenades at him or just use blast effects to get through the shield and hurt him. Kill him and work on the others from cover. The initial wave is followed by a second from the passage on the left ahead of you. You can go up either side to make it farther South. Head over to the West in the next area. You have a Nomad and some Suicide Psychos there to deal with. Kill them and keep moving forward. This will lead you right to Roland. After the cutscene, make back as an EXP Loader will appear and blast the gate open.
After the door has been blasted open, run on through it. You have a large number of Bandits and Loaders ducking it out. You can either clear the area or just run on through. Either way, things are not going to be too hard until you make it to the Ramparts.
