Game Guide by Joyramen on Sep 15, 2025

To get your hands on the Hoarder Shield, a legendary shield that you'll need to farm the Skyspanner Kratch in Terminus Range.

To make it easier to head to the boss, you'll want to unlock and power the Heritage Opus Safe House to use fast travel.

When you make it inside the mine, the path is straightforward. You'll want to avoid unnecessary fights to not waste any time, as you might not get the drop on the first go.

Also, on your way, you'll encounter a large pit. Do not drop down – you will die. Instead, make your way up the platforms using your grapple to reach the boss arena.

After fighting the boss for the first time, you'll unlock the Encore Machine. The Skyspanner Kratch is not the easiest of bosses; it can take a while, especially with the number of drones it spawns.

You'll want to take your time to destroy every one of them, as they do drain a significant chunk of health. Always stay on the move and off the floor, and constantly chip away at his health until you defeat him.

Once the boss is defeated, you'll be able to leave the arena using a purple orb. It may take you several tries until the Hoarder Shield finally drops, but when it does, it will be worth it.

The shield possesses increased armor capacity, damage reduction, elemental resistances, and other random bonuses, making it worth it in the end.

Its signature effect is its 50% chance to kill to spawn an ammo booster that refills your weapons instantly and continuously; it works wonders when you pair it with a weapon that has a long reload time or high rate of fire guns that burn through ammo.
