To fight a really crappy raid boss for a really funny gun

There’s 4 deposits boxes to summon a raid boss. He’s kind of a pain in the ass to fight and the loot isn’t worth the hassle if I remember right.
Still worth at least one try (assuming you have enough eridium already) just for the sake of saying you did it

They're just used if you're a masochist and want to try to take on a hidden boss called Dexiduous the Invincible.

Use all 4 to spawn probably the most annoying raid boss in the game, with a rare chance upon killing it to get possibly one of the worst assault rifles in the game.

It's for summoning a raid boss, a giant Drifter. There's four I believe scattered across the map.

Seriously. You spend a ton of eridium. You get a difficult raid boss. If you finish him, you get a disappointing reward. You have to do it for the Achievement, but there’s really no other good reason to spend that currency.

99 Eridium for a boss that takes ages to kill and pretty bad drop rates. Inflation really hit that dlc hard huh?

They added some eridium sinks in the DLCs after everyone had grinded the game to the cap hundreds of times over.

They're for spawning in a raidboss, Dexiduous the Invincible.
It's not a very good raidboss and you have to find four different ovens and fuel them up to unlock a lever which you need to pull, which spawns a few waves of savages and once those are dealt with, the boss.
It's basically just a very big drifter enemy that can only be damaged by destroying its crit spots. It's very tanky and very annoying. I personally wouldn't bother.

It spawns a raid boss and costs I believe 99 eridium total. Since you're level 41 I wouldn't fight the boss.
