The idea is you get into that spot and then pick off all his front facing crit points. The tricky bit is the back one, as you won't be able to hit it from this spot.
What I did was started a game by myself, made it public, got into this spot and picked off his arms & eye. To get the back spot I had 3 other people join. Once they came into the game and went to the top of the elevator they ran to the back side which caused Crawmerax to turn revealing his back crit spot which I then unloaded on finishing him off.
All in all took like 10-15 minutes.

To unlock this you need to complete the side mission 'You. Will. Die.' by killing Crawmerax the Invincible. You will be able to attempt this mission after completing the main story of this DLC and then picking the mission up from the 'T-Bone Junction' bounty board.
This achievement is the only genuinely difficult achievement in the game, however if you have taken the advice in the roadmap to use Lilith as your main character then you can take advantage of a glitch that makes this boss fight trivial.
As you disembark the elevator that takes you to Crawmerax's Lair, quickly start to run to the left and activate your action skill to become undetectable. As you're heading left you are looking for a small gap in the rock that you can crouch behind and you need to get into this position before your action skill runs out. Doing this puts you into a place that Crawmerax and its minions' attacks can't reach you. The glitch is somewhat temperamental and sometimes won't seem to work, however it most certainly does work after a little playing around with it. From this position you can now shoot the weak points on Crawmerax's body while it remains in place simply screaming every few seconds. Be sure to bring high powered weapons and preferably a mod that gives you ammo regeneration to make this as painless as possible.
The only difficulty when doing this glitch is reaching the weak point on Crawmerax's back. You cannot hit it from this area so the best way to get it is to leave the safety of the rock and run to the exact opposite side of the arena and try to get Crawmerax to look at you at this opposite side. From here, activate your action skill and get back to the rock that you were hiding behind and you will have a small window with Crawmerax's back facing you and you can get some shots off into its weak point. You may need to repeat this process a few times as Crawmerax will turn around to face you as soon as you start to shoot it.
Besides this glitch, if you prefer to attempt this legitimately, then good luck to you. You can also attempt this with a party of four players, however be aware that the more players you have in a party, the stronger the enemies and bosses will be, making an already very difficult boss even more difficult.
The location of the rock in question;
Terminator, and, Vuule, Archavia
Story related, can't be missed.
This is the final main story related mission (there are some side quests too, which can be done either before or after this). Crawmerax is one of the hardest boss fights in the entire Borderlands franchise. Both Crawmerax and his minions can kill you in one to two hits. The official wiki has a detailed breakdown and walkthrough of this fight: LINK. Crawmerax has a minimum level of 61, thus you need to be at or higher than that to even make a dent in his health.
Strategy:
- Craw Maggots: Weak to Shock, shoot in it's glowing eye
- Armored Craw Worms: Weak to Acid
- Green Craw Worms: Weak to Fire, shoot in eyes for critical
- Crawmerax: Kill the above minions until you hit lvl 61, it will be fast. Now, a low accuracy weapon is the way to go, as you have more of a chance to hit Crawmerax's purple weak spots. Shoot each purple-head till it pops, and when all the blobs are gone, Crawmerax is dead.
Here are some videos, showing various ways of killing Crawmerax - including variations on the Safe spot exploit. PS4 Note: The safe spot exploit has been heavily nerfed in the PS4 version of this DLC and only works to any successful degree if you play as Lilith but barely works at all if you play as anyone else.

This arena is a good place to level up your character. A couple of runs killing only small mobs raises the level by +1
The enemy has 6 purple dots that need to be blown up for him to die. Apart from them, it is useless to shoot anywhere, don’t waste your time.
He cuts 3 types of crabs - purple, green, worm-shaped
Each of them has their own weaknesses, without knowing which you will not be able to break through them
Green is killed by fire weapons
Purple is corrosive (green icon)
Vermiform electric
So it’s better not to bother without these 3 weapons. The tactic is to run away, kill the small crabs as a priority, and then, if possible, shoot at the purple pressure points of the boss
Glitch:
I did it like in this video, it’s easiest to do it as a siren, because she can go into invis and quickly get to the right place, but then the boss gets inconvenient and it will be difficult to kill him too far, so it’s better to let him in a little and then hide. If you don’t follow the siren, then run stupidly like in the video and try to make it in time.
The most difficult moment will be to break the purple circle on the back - I did it through the character on the second gamepad, went up the elevator when only he was left and jogged around the boss and shot the back:
