How to unlock the Hell-Burbia achievement in Borderlands - Definitive Guide

There are two ways to do this.

1) Play through with your character and complete the 3 small tournies to unlock the 20 rounders. Then play the 20 rounders to the bitter end and the achievement is yours. I recommend using a very low level character (I was a level 19 Hunter) as the host because the AI will match whatever level the host is, not one more or one less, and then have your level 50 friends join your game and everyone will get this achievement. Even IF they don't have the smaller tournaments done. I can confirm this works, EVEN IF YOU DROP OUT, the only person that has to remain constant is the host.

2) Find a game on Xbox Live that is close to being completed. Jump in their game and complete the game. They can even be on the second to last wave of round 20 when you join. As long as you are playing when the 5th wave of the 20th round is completed you will get the achievement.

I do agree though that jumping in late is shady. I wouldn't let someone do that.

It is kinda of hard to find someone playing the DLC, BUT it is possible. We had plenty of people jump in while we were playing. Plus if you need help, plenty of people on this site still need this achievement. Just ask.

You could easily set up a gaming session advertising that you need 3 level 50 borderland players, or 2 level 50's and someone with a level 20. Think before you say the solution is bad.

This solution is great, keep it up.

Wonderful solution. Borderlands is built on co-op, from the ground up. If you don't have friends to play co-op in this game, I understand why you'd be bitter.

im confused by this DLC. Im doing the prove yourself mission with a 2nd account level 3 and my lvl 45 Main. I just did hell-burbia which was 5 rounds each with 5 waves but no achievement.... Am i right in assuming by the guide that the Small tourney is the one i just did and there is then a 20 Round, 5 wave tournament as well that the achievement is tied too?

You have the right idea Hawk. You have to do each of the three tournaments first as 5 round batches, which will net an achievement. Then you have to redo each but they will be 20 rounds of 5 waves. Each map has an achievement tied to the 20 round tournament and completing all three is another.

There is a curtain that opens up near the mission board that allows you access to challenges 4,5,and 6, which are the long versions of the three maps.

thanks J Hart. Do you have to do all 20 rounds of each map in 1 sitting?

I’m thinking of picking up a physical copy of the GOTY version with the DLC on disc. Anyone know if the DLC on the disc is supported through backwards compatability?

There is also a part of the map which enemies can reach or shoot you. Looking at the boss stage, turn left and go up the stairs then jump up the containers and onto the roof. You can stay here as long as you like and snipe enemies, hordes cant reach you either so you can just sit back and pick them off.

Your solution assumes that everyone has one to three high-level friends willing to waste their time to help you. "Friends" are rarely that generous, and too few people have this dlc.

And how can you find someone playing this on LIVE? Finding custom games is decided by plot mission. This solution is so frickin' unhelpful.

You're welcome. Yes, unless you can connect with someone who is already on the last wave, but given the online presence of the game it is unlikely.

The game is supposed to support quick resume though, so that may work if you are running it solo. I'm using a second account with a lower level character on local coop to make the whole ordeal quicker and easier so the resume feature wasn't working properly.

The way I did these achievements was very simple. Have your main character to be a high level character from level 50 - 69 if you have the dlcs. Using a seperate profile/gamertag train up a character through the story till they can teleport to 'The Underdome' this'll be around level 10 maybe lower. Then go into a split screen game with your low level account as player 1, use your main higher level account as player 2, the lowest the enemies can be is level 12. Play through the small tournaments, then move on to the big ones, this will still take a fair amount of time, but with your high level character things should be a breeze. Good Luck

The easiest way I have found to do this will require you teaming up with at least two more people whom have characters at level 50.

The best thing I've found to do is for the host to be a level 5 (you could be lower as well) character and your friends bring in a level 50 character or the highest level character that they have.

The game scales the enemies to the host so if the host is level 5, then all the enemies will be level 5 making it easier on you because your friends are higher up than you.

The main thing is for the level 5 character to stay out of harms way for the most part. I'd suggest keeping one of your friends close that way if you get downed they can easily heal you.

I'm using the Siren so if I get in a bad spot, I can phase out and run to a safer spot, hence the reason I suggest being level 5. All in all each arena should take you around 1-5 hours to complete. Hope this helps, good luck.

You can fast travel to zombie island and underdome at anytime. At least i was able to. Let me know if you can't do it and I'll see what's up.

You should be able to do it from Fyrestone, the first FT pole you come to.

It doesn't matter if the lower person dies, as long as one other person survives the round.

First, you must complete the smaller tournaments before unlocking the big tournaments. Once you have unlocked the larger challenges, select Hell-Burbia. There are a few ways to earn the trophy.

1) Solo. Grind it out for hours fighting enemies equal to your level.

2) Co-op. Have your main character be a low level (10-20) and your second a high level (50+). Have the low level character start up the larger tournament for Hell-Burbia and use your high level character to kill enemies. This is the safer method compared to playing solo.

3) Online. Jump in a game that is playing in this tournament. You only need to be present for the last wave of the last round in order to unlock the trophy.

Once you have completed the tournament, the trophy will unlock. A few tips for Hell-Burbia are as follows:

For cover from badasses and herding the horde wave to where they cannot attack you, jump on the platform ledges along the SouthWest wall where the blue buildings are (see video at 3:36).

For difficult bosses, stay far back where the Crimson buildings are (see video at 19:48). You should be able to have a clear line of sight and can pick off the bosses as they come towards you. If they reach you before you kill them, simply run behind them and go to the curtain area and rinse and repeat.

Playing with no shield is by far the worse handicap. If this happens, make sure to play with extreme caution as you will certainly be killed a lot faster.

Here is the video reference mentioned above. Credit goes to DnB Alex.


Happy Hunting :)

at first glance it looks unrealistic, but you just need a second controller, create the character 1 levola, make him the main one, and make swag the main character as the second character, and then in oren the opponents are 30 less than you levola!
