How to unlock the It's Like That One Video achievement in Borderlands 2 - Definitive Guide

In the DLC Tiny Tinas Assault on Dragons Keep (towards the end), youll find yourself in an area called Hatreds Shadow. Continue along the only path until you come to a broken bridge on your right and a cave on your left. A little past those you will end up with a large entrance on your left and a small area with a bonfire to the slight right. Go down into that small area and there is a cave across from the bonfire that is marked as an enemy named 'The Darkness'. All you have to do is shoot at The Darkness until it is 'dead' and the achievement will pop.

Killing The Darkness with anything will get the achievement to pop but to get the door behind it to open you will need to kill it with a specific grenade mod called Magic Missile which is a random drop off wizards, necromancers, (both of whom will drop a blue version) and badass wizards (who drop the purple version). Inside you will find a dice treasure chest. Some people have claimed that killing The Darkness with magic missle did not make the achievement pop but trying again (leaving the area and returning) with a gun did so its advised to kill it without magic missile.

The whole bit itself is in reference to the comedy sketch by The Dead Ale Wives.

Quick note: I've had trouble getting this to unlock using the Magic Missile. Unlocked first time with a regular weapon, though.

For context, here is an animated version of the sketch. This video was originally seen after the credits in the game "Summoner".

Hm. Thats an odd one Ackter. I havent heard of anyone having that problem...if anyone else has, please comment so I can update the solution. The good thing about it though is it respawns if you quit out of the game but I would still like to add a bit about that if its something thats happening to multiple people.

I just experienced the same as Ackter. Used magic missile, but no achievement. Reloaded and used regular gun and it popped right away.

It's worth noting that it seems to only unlock for however actually killed it, so even if you damage it, and a co op partner gets the kill, it won't unlock. The same can be said for other similar achievements like the one for killing a chubby.

Yeah I think Magic Missile doesn't unlock it because it doesn't kill the Darkness, it just despawns it and opens the door.

After trying to unlock this achievement a few times I can confirm magic missle does NOT work. I killed it with a corrosive shotgun and it unlocked.

I can't get this to unlock. Killed it 4 times with different weapons (never used any grenades). Darkness dies, I get the XP, I can see the door. No achievement. WTF

To earn this trophy, you must shoot at a specific cave entrance way that's shrouded in darkness, and "kill" the darkness.
The darkness will have a health bear and will have the name "The Darkness." As far as I know, it doesn't attack you, and when I earned this trophy it had very small amounts of health/defense.
You basically just need to find it and shoot it.

Note: Only the person that kills The Darkness will earn the trophy if you are in a co-op game

You can find The Darkness in the 'Hatred's Shadow' area. On your way to the castle, you will pass a broken bridge on your right. To your left there will be an open entrance to what is known as 'The Pit'. Pass this entrance and you will come to a dead end.


From what I've read, using Magic Missiles grenade can open the door by killing the darkness with it. It would make sense considering the source video that inspired the trophy. Getting into the room isn't a requirement for the trophy. Simply killing The Darkness is.


In case anyone is interested, "That One Video" that's being referenced in the title is referring to the video below.

NOPE … your geek card is hereby revoked, on account of you don’t know what “that one video” is. The PS2 game “Summoner” (released in 2000) shows this video when you press “X” (cross) during the end-credits. Here’s the earliest version I could find on YT … https://youtu.be/zng5kRle4FA

In Hatred's Shadow, you will see a dark area on the wall across from a campfire. Use any weapon to shoot the darkness (an "enemy" health bar will appear when you place your reticle over the dark). A door will be revealed and you'll see a chest with two 20 sided die perched atop taunting you from within. Refer to the below image (courtesy of iBuzz7s) for the location.

Note: If you equip a Magic Missile grenade mod and throw that at The Darkness (instead of just shooting it) the door will open allowing you to open the chest inside. However, the achievement only pops when the Darkness is slain with bullets. Save your magic missiles for a subsequent trip through Hatred's Shadow. Magic Missile grenade mods are dropped by Wizards/Mages. (thanks to DustyTheHamster and TigersRule for the Magic Missiles tips). The Darkness respawns so you can go back and re-kill it as many times as you like. This is handy if you don't have a Magic Missile when you first encounter it.

In the Hatred's Shadow location, climb through the orcs to the castle. At the very foot of the castle, look to the right, there will be a kind of spot with a fire near the cliff. Go to the patch and look at the rock and see the Darkness. You need to kill her. Banter mission about fighting your fears

For clarity, video.
