How to unlock the A Good Dam Fight achievement in Duke Nukem Forever - Definitive Guide
Good luck!
Made what I thought was a near impossible fight to win into the easiest thing ever.
Unlike the previous fight in the pit, this time you will need to take him down twice before you can humilate him. He also has two allies on jetpacks, but they tend to concentrate on your teammate and didn't even pose as a distraction.
Playing on hard difficulty, I simply stood behind the blue car next to the boss and the first ammo box emptying my rpg and resupplying as soon as my clip was empty. If you center the car between you and the boss correctly, you will be able to just stand still and fire at him as he shoot at the car which can't explode so you are safe.
Eventually he will begin to move forward and kick cars at you (I had him down to just below half health by this point). At this point I deployed my holo duke and ran backwards while still shooting at him. Move back to the next ammo crate and finish off his first health bar. You will easily be able to do this before your holoduke expires. Once he kneels, run up to him and do your handiwork.
The second stage of this battle he will occasionally rush forward at you, dealing massive damage and throwing cars around also. If he hits you with this and you can't get away in time he will simply stomp on you, killing you instantly. My method of dealing with this stage was to simply take a beer at the moment that he stood fully up, and then repeating my barrage of rockets in his face.
He does deal a lot more damage in this second stage, but I managed to down him easily enough without even having to move back to the third ammo box.
Once he finally falls again, run up to him and mutilate him further before humiliating him to death.
If you are having any trouble with this boss or any part of my guide wasn't clear enough or didn't make sense, please feel free to comment or message me and let me know. I have only just started trying to write solutions and will be glad to recieve some feedback or criticism.
So you killed him the first time, before you run up to do the button combo make sure your rpg is full. Do the button sequence and quickly run right back to where you were, turn around and shoot him as fast as you can and get one more reload from the box. To the right of you there is a bus hide behind it and make it so you can only see his head over it, that made it so he couldn't hit me, unload another clip in him.
This is the hardest part wait till the right time (right when he stops shooting his minigun) and run for the box and back to the bus. Unload the last clip and he will be finished do the humiliation and there you go! Achievement. Good luck to everybody hope this guide helps!

You will meet this second Battlelord at the end of "Dam Top". This boss is really easy if you know the right tactics. First off, start to run back on the highway to the EDF Ammo Crate with a taxi next to it. Place yourself behind the taxi and start fire rockets with your RPG at him. It's really hard for him to damage you, as he will always stay at the other side of the highway on this part. Once you run out of ammo for your RPG, turn left and pick up some more ammo from the Ammo Crate in front of you. Keep doing this until he can only take about 1-2 more rockets. The reason you want to leave him with a little health left is to make sure you have time to run up to him. Run towards him while taking cover behind cars, and shoot him with your rockets on the way. As he lays down, run up to him and press to climb up his back. Then press repeatedly to rip off one of his horns and stick it in his head. As soon as you have finished your little bashing, run back to the taxi, but this time, hide behind the black van next to it. The Battlelord will gain all his health back, and this time he starts to move toward you, kicking away cars on the way. When he gets close you want to get his attention to make him stop by shooting a rocket at him between the van and the building to the right. Once he has stopped, throw all your Pipe Bombs at him. That will cause him a lot of damage. Turn around and run towards the pile of explosives on the sidewalk for some more Pipe Bombs. Get back to the van and throw over all four Pipe Bombs again. Keep doing this and he will soon lay down on the ground once again. Run up to him and press once again. After you've climbed up on his back, press repeatedly to make him a unicorn. Once he only has one horn left he'll sit down on his knees. Walk up to him to give him some shattered testicles by pressing .
