The Meathead Riders—Saddleback and the so‑called Immortal Boneface—are an optional boss duo that’s worth your time. They sit on a compact loot table with fan‑favorite legendaries, can be summoned quickly, and are easy to re‑farm once you know the route and the elemental matchups.

Immortal Boneface location (The Old Scrape, Cuspid Climb)

Head to The Old Scrape, a Ripper Drill Site in Cuspid Climb (Terminus Range, on Kairos). The arena sits behind a metal drawbridge framed by giant skeletal remains. Clear the Ripper nest to provoke the encounter—Boneface arrives mounted on Saddleback.

Orientation detail: The Old Scrape is in the southern part of Cuspid Climb near the cusp to the Fadefields.

This is a two‑target fight with strict priority. Boneface is effectively untouchable while he’s riding or while Saddleback remains alive. Focus down the mount first, then delete Boneface in a second phase.

Boss Health bars (order) Recommended elements Notes
Saddleback Armor → Flesh Corrosive or Cryo → Incendiary Kill first. Boneface may briefly dismount but isn’t worth shooting until Saddleback dies.
Immortal Boneface Shield → Flesh Shock → Incendiary Becomes vulnerable once Saddleback is down. Shields regenerate rapidly while Saddleback lives.

Positioning helps. From the arena entrance, the enclosed section far left has a single choke point that reduces flanks and adds control. It won’t block everything, so keep moving. Leave a couple of weaker enemies alive as “Second Wind insurance,” but delete heavies with shields on sight.

Legendary drops and why they matter

The duo shares a small set of dedicated legendaries, making targeted farming efficient.

Item Type Special effect Why it’s notable
Hellwalker Shotgun Soothslayer Hard‑hitting shotgun with a punchy feel and instant utility in close‑range melts.
Lucian’s Flank Assault Rifle Trample — critical hits refill up to 2 rounds to the magazine Great sustained DPS for crit‑reliable builds; effectively “infinite” fire when you’re landing crits.
War Paint Repkit Chrome — on use: +30% fire rate and +30% movement speed for 15s; reduces Repkit cooldown by 2s each time you take damage Standout utility for aggressive builds that want mobility and a rapid fire‑rate window.

How to re‑farm the Meathead Riders

  • Return to The Old Scrape’s entrance after your kill.
  • Use Moxxi’s Big Encore Machine and pay the fee to restart the encounter.
  • Repeat clear, collect drops, and reset as needed.
Tip: Keep your loadout fixed to the phase order—Corrosive/Cryo and Incendiary for Saddleback, then Shock and Incendiary for Boneface—to trim each loop down to minutes.

Quick checklist before you go

  • Route: fast travel to Cuspid Climb, head south to The Old Scrape, cross the drawbridge, clear Rippers to spawn.
  • Priority: Saddleback first, Boneface second.
  • Elements: Corrosive/Cryo → Incendiary (Saddleback), then Shock → Incendiary (Boneface).
  • Control: hold the left‑side enclosure; keep a trash mob for Second Wind; remove shielded heavies quickly.
  • Farm: use Moxxi’s Big Encore Machine by the arena entrance.

Once you lock in the priority and element swaps, this “not so immortal” duo becomes a fast, repeatable source of Hellwalker, Lucian’s Flank, and War Paint—ideal for tuning early and midgame builds without chasing a bloated drop pool.
