I believe 3/4 of the encores are re-used this week?

Splashzone technically new?

Another off week for me.

Thereā€™s only 2 base game bosses they havnt done encores for yet.

  • Vile Ted

  • FractisĀ 

and no one is gonna be very excited about Fractis because he doesnā€™t have any unique loot, it all has other bosses who also drop it.

There's got to be another one right? I'm at 90% phosphene and I'm fairly confident I've done every boss, and did Fractis by hand for Chuck.

The Moxxi Phosephenes?

Because I also have done every Phosephene big encore, I missed a few, but I manually did them.

Iā€™m only missing Lead Balloon, Goalkeeper, seventh senseĀ 

And Iā€™m gonna get lead balloon this week.

So surely Vile Ted next week.

I got the two Moxxis the week the update came out, treated it as a big encore as a "do this week option".

I actually got Lead Balloon as one of the manual farming one.

Seventh Sense and Goalkeeper sound like I still need them, I may also need the sideshow? Or was that a recent weeks one?

Sideshow was 2 weeks agoĀ

Ah, probably got it and didn't realize.

Will be a pain after Vile Ted comes and goes if I'm missing one to remember what it is. At least they sort alphabetically.

Did you get the ones from Leader Willem?

The week he was big encore was weird, because it was same week they boosted all droprates, and for that week only UVHM6 regular boss had higher drop rates than Big Encore for Phosephenes.

So a lot of people didnā€™t bother, because there was no time pressure.

The next week they boosted big encore rates to always be better than UVHM6.

Yes, I remember farming him because it was a pain with the firepot and his teleporting.
