The second Borderlands 3 DLC; Guns, Love, and Tentacles, contains multiple named enemies that originally had a small chance to spawn. These Rare Enemy Spawns would later be patched so they would always appear, however, there are still challenges linked to these unique enemies. In this Borderlands 3 guide, I will tell you who these Rare Enemies are, how you can find them, and which rewards you can obtain when defeating them.

Guns, Love, and Tentacles Rare Enemy Spawn Rewards
The Rare Spawn Enemies in the Borderlands 3 DLC; Guns, Love, and Tentacles all have a unique dedicated legendary drop in their loot pool. Defeating them provides a 15% chance of obtaining their legendary item.
There are Save Stations near these unique enemies, allowing you to ‘Save&Quit’ and quickly farm for their dedicated drop.
Defeating all Rare Spawn Enemies in DLC2 unlocks the achievement/trophy, A Hunter, Through and Through.
All Rare Enemy Spawn Locations in DLC#2
There are 4 Rare Enemy Spawns, however, you only need to travel to these 3 locations on the planet Xylourgos.
1. Cursehaven – Amach
Amach can be found in Cursehaven he is an easy farm as he is located at the beginning of the map. I like to use the ‘Olmstead Square’ Fast Travel Station and then make my way to ‘Lantern’s Hook‘ because if you need ammo or farm the vending machine for that ‘Cloning Maddening Tracker‘ then that’s possible at this location.
The walk from both spawn locations is about the same, however, I prefer ‘Olmstead Square‘ because of how you enter the fight.
While Amach doesn’t always immediately spawn, you do have a clear view of his spawn location and haven’t walked halfway through a combat zone. This way you aren’t overwhelmed by all the enemies that have spawned if Amach decides to show up. You can recognize Amach by the red portal that he spawns through.
Amach has 1 shield bar and 2 health bars. He often has 2 floating orbs ((eye) witnesses) by his side and occasionally hides in a dark cloud.
The other enemies in this area mostly have health bars and a few carry a shield, therefore, I suggest you bring a solid shock and incendiary weapon. If you go down during this fight and have used the ‘Olmstead Square‘ Fast Travel Station, you can easily restock on ammo.
Amach has an increased chance of dropping the Unseen Threat. This Jakobs sniper rifle will ricochet 3 homing projectiles when you score a critical hit. The Unseen Threat is pretty Badass!

| Location | Cursehaven – Olmstead Square |

| Loot | Unseen Threat |
2. The Cankerwood – Fungal Gorger
Fungal Gorger can be found in The Cankerwood. Since there is only 1 Fast Travel Station on this map you have to walk “half-way” through the map. I recommend equipping a Snowdrift Artifact so you can swiftly make your way through the map.
Once you reach Fungal Gorger’s location, you can easily farm him as there is a save station just before his spawn location. When you enter the combat area that’s just before Rare Spawn Location, go to the right and take the upper level to quickly make your way through. Fungal Gorger spawns next to the big chest and the Echo Recording.
Fungal Gorger is one of those big enemies. He has 2 health bars and a big crit spot. There isn’t a lot of room for you to move around. What you can do is walk around the rock. Beware that some enemies from the previous combat zone are able to make their way near the Rare Spawn Location. Incendiary or other top gear will do the work during this fight.
Fungal Gorger has an increased chance of dropping the Mutant. This is a Jakobs Assault Rifle that fires a continuous laser beam.

3. Negul Neshai – Shiverous the Unscathed
Shiverous the Unscathed can be found in Negul Neshai. This Ice Dragon spawns near the beginning of the map therefore the walk isn’t that long. However, equipping a snowdrift artifact does let skip the combat zones leading up to the rare spawn location.
You want to walk passed the spawn location on your first attempt because you can then trigger a save station that’s just up ahead. This makes farming Shiverous the Unscathed a faster process as it’s a much shorter walk on the next attempt when you ‘Save&Quit’ farm.
Shiverous the Unscathed is an Ice Dragon and has 1 big health bar. As he flies around the combat zone he occasionally dives towards you and will attack you with his freezing breath. During these dives, you have a good opportunity to attack him head-on. Because Shiverous the Unscathed moves pretty fast, I don’t recommend slow-moving projectiles unless he clearly flies into them.
Shiverous the Unscathed has an increased chance of dropping the Hydrafrost. This is a COV pistol that deals 200% elemental damage on every 2nd shot after you have killed a target. The elemental damage can be either shock or incendiary and the damage will last for 6 seconds.

4. Negul Neshai – Voltborn
Voltborn can also be found in Negul Neshai. This is one of those enemies that summons ghost versions of themselves, however, the twist is that Voltborn can also become invisible.
This Rare enemy can be found passed Shiverous the Unscathed as you will have to make your way to the area where you had to activate that giant turret.
If you want to farm Voltborn the easy way, I suggest you walk a bit further and go into the next area. There is a Save Station just beyond the wall the turret broke. Now it’s a shorter run to the rare spawn location, instead of having to climb up the mountain again and going through the base.
Voltborn is initially visible when he spawns with his 3 shield bars, however, he will quickly go into hiding and summon ghostly copies of himself. Voltborn will try to distance himself from you and let his minions attack you. These ghostly copies will leave a trail of shock damage in their path.
On that note, the whole combat zone that you are fighting him in is crawling with shock-based enemies. So for Voltburn and his minions, you want to use shock weapons, however, for the other enemies in this area, you want to avoid that. Therefore, you should bring incendiary, corrosive, and shock weapons to this fight. But a badass Vault Hunter like you probably has at least 1 item of each element ready to go.
Voltborn has an increased chance of dropping the Shocker. This is a Torgue shotgun that works similarly to The Lob but can only spawn with the shock element. That said, the projectile speed of the Shocker is a lot faster than the orbs of the Lob.
Legendary Loot
These rare enemies all have a unique legendary weapon assigned to them. They also have a good chance of dropping the other Guns, LOVE, and Tentacles Legendary Loot. However, since they are rare spawns and pretty tough enemies to fight, there is a better legendary farm location in DLC 2.
