Tech's Guide to Defeating Dr. Lash
- Thread starter Zavos
- Start date
Thing is he's at the same time that shiny beacon for all that want to prove they PC is umber-god in game world. I not think he would bring such 'emotions' if he would be just some npc/enemy that you need go some on one of planet explorable area to fight. Yeah he would be a huge challange but then again all to him would be to go beat him then been proud you beat all the game can throw at ya.
Yeah back in times he was added there was less options to become genderless or full change gender. Nowadays there is much easier for this so maybe with time all his advantages as npc not as enemy to beat will be enough small to make it easy move to add 'arrest' option.

So long as they stay on Tarkus and don't force anything on me/others cuz I didn't act or disappear on me, I'm content to let them sit and check the given updates followed by a quick load of a previous save. I get a feeling some anal will fix Lash in some funny manner though.

For now I want much more to keep beating him to get credits (yeah I know it's a lowly motivation). As for his services I never actualy needed them but I aware some people at least back in a days was happy to have this option opened for them even if it costed quite much. Plus he was way more 'peacefull' npc to deal with not like some nearby shop owner 
Penny already knows about Dr.Lash and where he is though. (She just doesn't care... She points you his way if you want to Bimbo Badger.) And she's the nearest UGC officer...
IIRC, Penny only finds out about him after she starts searching for someone capable of tweaking Badger's tech. And by that point she had decided to go along with your hairbrained scheme instead of properly reporting you and Badger. Which, IMO, makes zero sense for any non-libido crazy version of her.
It's not like you've actually done anything wrong when you walk up to Penny with the intent on turning in the dangerous weapon you were given by an incredibly dangerous terrorist to the nearest UGC officer. Hell I doubt it would be hard to lawyer your way out of accepting the job as it being under duress if you felt like stretching the truth.
Quite interesting thing is that atm Penny is nearest UGC officer we can report it too. Like one warp jump away. We have that comanding officer and some of ugc forces at the tether entrance but nada we run to Penny (oh yeah that officer can be easuy cut out if Tarkus only reduce to Nova ship. Anyway asking Lash to change weapon won't count as quite naive using one evil to fight other evil. But this time well we not actualy make them both fight so we then clean up the one remaining.

I had to take a diff approach to the fight since I went for a melee build on my PC, and this is mostly geared towards a Ranged-build PC.
First off, I would like to note that I have through various legitimate methods in-game, I increased all my stats to 40. I used most of this set-up, but I didn't have Black Void so I just used Goo Armor. Didn't have Volley either since again, Melee build, but did use "Take Cover"(Increases Ranged Evasion for 3 turns) in it's place to negate damage. Please note that while you will evade a large number of his attacks, he may land 1-2 hits per turn every now and again. And my weapon of choice: Vamp Blade, for high accuracy. Other perks that helped IMO were "Heroic reserves"(max energy +33), "Bloodthirsty"(Melee attacks restore a few points of Energy), "Second Attack" (Allows you to make a second, low-accuracy attack whenever you perform a melee attack), and lastly and MOST IMPORTANTLY, "Second Wind"(Grants the ability to recover half of your maximum HP and Energy once per combat encounter). With this set up, I only really needed the Crystal Shard and not much else. Maybe a Shield Booster right after re-applying Take Cover, but I don't feel the Shield Booster makes that much of a significant difference.
The fight with this set up is rather simple, but RNGesus may take a shit on you at some point, so be sure to save before hand. You start by using the Crystal Shard before engaging Dr. Lash, then just spam Take Cover and Basic Melee attacks. You can choose to re-apply Take cover before it's effects wear if you like, but you may need to use a Pexiga Saliva if you do. I just kept attacking until it went down, re-aplied, and repeat. Once your HP gets Dangerously low, Second Wind while Take Cover is still in effect, and continue as before. With a bit of luck you'll land quite a few double attacks thanks to "Second Attack", and maybe a few crits in there too, spelling near-certain doom for Dr. Lash.
Using this method I have been successful 4/6 attempts on Dr. Lash, pretty good odds if I do say so myself.

Proof that Lash can be defeated in 6.90. Details edited into original post on page 1. Good luck, this fight is even more RNG crazy then the previous tactic.
Apologies in advance for necro. But i do believe this is a relevant advancement of this thread.

I started as a mercenary, but the only real difference is that I really used headbutt, second wind when health went below 50%, and rapid fire for my skills. For my weapon however, was the Aegis S.M. gun. I also did a lot of shooting with my double shot perk. Also... HOW DID YOU GET 100% WILLPOWER!? IS THERE ANY SLOW TRAINING AVAILABLE!?
Aw, I wish there was because that is the one stat I need to get because I only have 21 of it
