How to unlock the The Angelic Ruins 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.

Ha ha, he copy and pasted his solution and you copy and pasted your bitching session. That's funny...

Yeah, I was wondering why I had so many private messages. I've got atleast 10 people on my friends list that have borderlands. Probably more.

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

Great Solution.

You don't need to train the second character to 10. Use your higher level character to get to the underdome instead. I went there as a 1st level on the first account and 61 on my main account. Sorry, until you change the info in this solution, it's not completely accurate and therefore, thumbs down.

First, you must complete the smaller tournaments before unlocking the big tournaments. Once you have unlocked the larger challenges, select The Angelic Ruins. 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 The Angelic Ruins 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 The Angelic Ruins are as follows:
Pick off eridians that fire mortar flames as this can be vital when fighting other enemies and/or trying to heal.
For herding the horde wave to where they cannot attack you, jump on the highest bricks located on the west platform, close to the boss curtain (see video at 15:17).
For difficult bosses, stay far back and pick them off from afar. There is plenty of open space and cover to circle around and kill them if need be.
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.
