The Magic of Childhood side quest: Survive the waves!

You must approach Murderlin's Son in the The Nursery during The Magic of Childhood.

Character Breakdown[edit]

Krieg:

This is a horrible area for Krieg to use his Buzzsaw Rampage as he is too high up to melee his foes and must rely on throwing the Buzz Saw. Shotgun builds will also have some trouble because of spread.

Gaige:

With the aid of Deathtrap this can be a very easy fight. Anarchy builds will have some trouble as there is a surprising amount of fine shooting. Keep the stacks low though and you should get through it pretty easily.

Maya:

The initial slow pace of Enemies favors Maya's Phaselock, provided they are in range of it. Grab them and gun them down to make your life that much easier. Anything that chains from killing in Phaselock will work very well during the final wave. There are a lot of Orcs though they do not group very well.

Salvador:

The ammo shrines definitely work in his favor, giving him a good supply of bullets. Save the Gunzerking for the final waves to just make your life easier.

Axton:

The turrets with the Longbow and explosive potential make the start of fights easier. It is still important to just keep things at range.

Zer0:

Melee focused builds cannot function here. You are elevated above the enemies, rending his Special useless. Still, a Sniper build or anything that can support mid to long range combat will find themselves in their element. There are a lot Orcs to kill,

Walkthrough[edit]

Head to the North then over to the East. There you will be greeted by one of the ugliest creatures on Pandora. Just head over to it and interact with Murderlin's son to get things moving here. You have a lot of slaughtering to do yet.

Wave 1[edit]

The Orcs start coming out from the massive building to the North of the Tower. They will be running toward the West to get at the base of the tower and try to blow through it. This is the easiest wave. Just watch for them showing up and you should make it. Be sure to keep a close eye on the tops of the buildings as it is here you will occasionally find the odd Sapper before they start their run, making them an easy target.

Wave 2[edit]

The orcs will change tactics some for this wave. They will start coming from the Southeast portion of the area. Once again you will see Fire Hoppers and Orc Zappers. They will either be hopping up over the lip of the ledge you see or dropping from the towers in that area. The final part of the wave has Orc Bushwackers.

Wave 3[edit]

The Orcs will now be coming from the West and from the Northern structure. You will see a number of Zappers and Fire Hoppers. They will either be coming out of the cave to the South of the Building or from the building to the North.


Wave 4[edit]

The orcs start coming in from the South. You will encounter them from multiple directions so watch your radar.

Wave 5[edit]

The orcs will be coming from various locations now in no one fixed order any more. Keep watch your radar and you should make it through without too much trouble.
