How to unlock the Wanted: Krom achievement in Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition - Definitive Guide
After fighting your way through the valley towards Krom, you'll get the short introductory cutscene and then he'll almost immediately start shooting you with his turret that fires rockets and also has a machine gun.
The best method is to stay in cover, take out any smaller enemies that you come across and slowly work your way forwards. Use a rocket launcher that preferably has a scope on it, and then when you get in range simply keep firing at him.

Missions involved in this trophy:
- Meet 'Crazy' Earl.
- Get Off My Lawn!
- Hair Of The Dog - The Waypoint for this Mission is glitched and will not show you the locations of the bottles when they appear. This glitch isn't too serious as killing any enemy will make a bottle appear but it's annoying all the same.
- The Next Piece.
To kill Krom quickly and easily you need a Shotgun and a Combat Rifle (Burst Fire is preferable). Both must have a decent rate-of-fire and reload speed else you will be slaughtered. It will also help to have a high level shield with at least a capacity of 480.
From the start of the level you want to follow the Waypoint through the canyon to your left. Between you and the end-zone where Krom is, you will face many, many enemies of various types including Spiderants and Badass Psychos. Once you reach Krom's Lair, keep going right, keep running and don't stop for anyone or anything until you reach the little hut at the top on the left-hand side at the bottom of the platform where Krom is sitting. The Siren's Phasewalk action skill is a godsend during this part as you are invisible and invincible for the duration it lasts. The reason for all this is Krom is sitting in a big Minigun/Rocket Turret and will start shooting at you the moment his intro cutscene finishes. After you reach the little hut we mentioned earlier, get inside and use your Combat Rifle to pick off any enemies that have followed you. When they're dead it's time to kill Krom!
The key to killing Krom is to rush his position with your Shotgun out ready, kill the enemy or enemies that are up there, then turn it on Krom and let him have it! If you time it right he won't know what hit him. Once he's dead grab his unique weapon and the artifact piece then head back to Tannis to Turn In the Mission.
If you have trouble getting the above method to work then try this alternative courtesy of Maukutin:
This is an easy way to kill Krom: Right after the cutscene, use a shock Sniper Rifle and shoot his turret. Shoot him from that point you were at before the cutscene and use the cliffs as a cover. Easy.
