How To Find The Demoskaggon Location

The Fast Travel Station.

In order to reach the Demoskaggon, you only have to play through the opening of the game to unlock access to The Droughts region in Pandora. Once here, the map opens up to you and you can explore almost all the sub-areas within this location. You also don’t have to use a vehicle for this task, but grab one anyway to make this quicker for yourself.

Now from the entrance of the area, or the fast travel station, head down the road to the left. Keep going until you pass the bridge and come across the entrance seen in the image below.

An Entrance Near The Skag Den.

Turn left before this point, and you can then turn right into a small open area with some Skag dens. Once you enter this location, the fight will start, so make sure that you’re fully prepared and that none of the bandits nearby are following you inside. You do not want to have to deal with two different types of enemies at once, especially if you’re at a low level at this point.

The Demoskaggon Fight

The Demoskaggon Fight.

Here’s a breakdown of the fight and some strategies to succeed:

  1. Entering the Arena: As soon as you enter the arena, you’ll encounter Skag pups charging at you. Dispatch them quickly with shotgun blasts or other close-range weapons.
  2. Facing the Demoskaggons: Keep an eye out for the two Demoskaggons, which are larger and stronger than regular Skags. They have a distinct dark red color and their faces unfurl like flowers. Use your crosshairs to identify them, as their names will pop up above them.
  3. Combat Tactics: The Demoskaggons will attack with melee strikes and also launch red glowing projectiles from their mouths. These projectiles explode on impact and create burning spots on the ground. Avoid standing on these spots to minimize damage.
  4. Attack from Afar: If you’re having trouble dealing with the Demoskaggons up close, consider using a mid-range weapon to attack them from a distance. They will stand still while launching their projectile attacks, providing an opportunity to deal damage safely.
  5. Repeat Strategy: After retreating and attacking from a distance, repeat the process until the Demoskaggons are defeated. Keep moving to avoid their attacks and maintain a safe distance.
  6. Loot Drops: Once the Demoskaggons are defeated, they will drop a combination of Uncommon, Rare, Epic, and Legendary tier items. Take your time to collect the loot and see if there are any valuable items that suit your character build.
  7. Repeat Attempts: If you don’t find the desired items from the first encounter, you can always return to the Demoskaggon location for another attempt. Keep challenging them until you acquire the loot you’re looking for.

To farm the Demoskaggons and Night Hawkin:

  1. Fight the Demoskaggons: Return to their spawn point in the game and defeat them.
  2. Respawn Method: Exit to the main menu and re-enter the game to respawn the Demoskaggons. Note that simply fast traveling to another map won’t work; you must exit and reload your game.
  3. Repeat Process: Each time you load the game, make your way back to the Demoskaggon location from the fast travel station.
  4. Farming Rewards: Demoskaggons drop valuable items each time they’re defeated. Even if you don’t find what you’re looking for during one run, sell unnecessary items to vendors for cash that can be invested in better gear.
  5. Persistence Pays Off: While the respawn process may be repetitive, the rewards make it worthwhile, especially when farming for sought-after items like the Night Hawkin.
