Mouthpiece | Opponent in Borderlands 3 Borderlands 3 guide, walkthrough
Last update: 17 September 2019
This page of the guide to Borderlands 3 contains a description of the boss fight with Mouthpiece. A fight with this enemy can cause you a lot of problems, especially since your character can die by activating numerous environmental traps.
The boss fight with Mouthpiece takes place in the final part of Cult Following main quest. The battle takes place in a large square room surrounded by many large speakers.
The speakers are deadly to your character. If you find yourself in their range when they activate, then you can receive a lot of damage or even die.
Their activation is signaled by the cables on the floor turning red. You will have a few seconds to move to somewhere else. We suggest moving between the central area of the arena, where Mouthpiece stood, and those of the outer fields alternately.
Mouthpiece has a weapon that allows him to effectively attack you from a distance. Run around a lot and hide behind obstacles to avoid getting hit.
The boss holds a shield in his other hand - he uses it to hide from bullets. You can try to aim in the head or patiently wait until he reveals himself or turns his back towards you.
There are also numerous smaller opponents in the arena. Try to ignore them throughout the majority of the battle. They tend to attack you with a melee weapon, so try to move a lot - you don't want to be surrounded.
Small opponents also have additional "use". If you are knocked down, for example, by speakers, you can easily kill one of the minions (they have very short health bars) and get the Second Wind.
At certain points, Mouthpiece will become temporarily immortal. The game informs you about that by changing the color of his health bar. You will also see that he is Immune to your shots. Wait patiently until you can start damaging him again.
It is worth noting that the room where you fight with Mouthpiece has numerous boxes with a cross icon. Each of them has syringes that will heal you. Get to them fast when you are on the verge of death and you don't want to risk with getting revived.
The defeated boss will leave behind a lot of the usual loot and a map, which is a quest item. You also have to deal with the remaining minions.
