How to unlock the Destroyed the Hive achievement in Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition - Definitive Guide

Not missable and part of the main story on your way to collecting the vault key pieces. The rakk hive is Simple enough to kill aim for the rakk hives eyes to get critical hits, and shoot and kill the kamikaze raak as they fly towards you,
i would suggest being around the level 31 mark to make this alot easier for your self if playing solo like i did.

The Rakk Hive is found in the Trash Coast.

To actually get to the Rakk Hive you have to follow the Waypoint to the left after arriving at The Trash Coast. Between you and the Hive's location is a large piece of land that's swarming with Spiderants, make sure you have at least two corrosive weapons with you to fight them off. Once you get to the archaeology site where the Hive is, don't follow the Waypoint straight on but go left and onto the ledge above the Tents.

To kill the Rakk Hive we strongly recommend you bring a Sniper Rifle and a Combat Rifle. A Shotgun or Machine Gun/SMG is advisable as well. This is the easiest boss fight in the game if you do it right. After its intro cutscene, get your Sniper Rifle out and start taking out its eyes. At regular intervals the Rakk Hive will launch balls of goo at you that give of a corrosive gas so avoid them until they disappear. The Hive will also send some Rakk after you so watch out. The Rakk come in two types, Experienced Defender and Experienced Kamikaze, neither of which should present a problem if you kill them fast enough. The Kamikaze Rakk are packed with explosives and can do some serious damage if they hit you. If you are a Soldier or have one in your co-op group, then use your/their action skill to take out the Rakk if any appear. If you are not in co-op when you take on this boss, then use your Machine Gun/SMG to take them out.

Once the Rakk Hive's eyes have been destroyed it will be down to about half health so finish it off with any weapon you choose. After it's dead, loot the corpse for any valuables then head to where the Waypoint is pointing and retrieve the Eridian Artifact. When you first get near/enter the cavern where the artifact is hidden, some Rakk will fly at you but don't shoot at them as they are harmless and you can't hit them anyway so don't waste your ammo. The artifact is in the Chest at the end of the cavern, take it and return to Tannis to Turn In this Mission.

Note: It is also possible to get this trophy during the Mission "Old Spicy" in the "Claptrap's New Robot Revolution" DLC (Credit to PDXCharmand3r for this tip).
