The General Idea

Master gee is not as aggressive as other raid bosses. However, he has more health.
Use this guide vault hunters to help you. If this guide helps you, please leave a like and favourite.

There are 2 General phases of this boss fight
-1) Master Gee has his shield: While Master Gee has a shield, he cannot be harmed. You do no damage to him. You have to make sure he absorbs the acid pool from the worms.
You can do this with singularity grenades or:
-If you are playing axton, drop your turret into the acid pool and let Gee go after it
-If you are playing Maya, use the converge skill to bring Master Gee near the worms
-If you are playing as Zero, you can drop your decoy into the acid pool.
-2) The shield has been depleted: This is the stage where master gee can take damage.

Note: make sure you enter this boss fight with full ammo and singularity grenades. If your attempt fails, restock your ammo.

Recommended Gear

Required Gear for this boss fight:
-1) Singularity Grenades (Example: Longbow quasar). Singularity grenades should be used to bring master gee into the acid pool. If Master Gee does not absorb the acid, the arena will fill with acid and you could ending up in fight for your life.
Make sure the grenade mod is not homing.
-2) Fire Interfacer (Good for Gunzerker, Gaige) / Fire Conference Call/ (works almost as well) Fire Sandhawk (for maya and axton)
-3) Grog Nozzle for healing
-4) Fire Bone of the ancients
-6) Alkaline bee or Alkaline big boom blaster or rough rider depending on your playtsyle. The bee gives amp damage to the sandhawk. Big boom blaster drops booster shields that regenerate your shield, grenade and rocket ammo.
-7) Fire Omen for Krieg
-8) Fire Pimpernel for Zero
-9) Fire Avenger to regenerate some SMG ammo if needed

The Battle

As mentioned before, you have to make sure that Master Gee absorbs the acid pool. Otherwise, the arena will fill with acid which can put you into fight for your life. Alkaline shields grant immunity to the damage over time of the worms not when the arena fills with acid
What are the sources of damage:
-1) Master Gee's ahab
-2) The acid balls from the worm.
-3) The acid pool when a worm has died.

There is an easier way to solo Master Gee by hiding behind the rock near the entrance of the arena. When is it better to hide behind the rock and let Gee die off from the acid pool?
-1) When there are too many worms in the arena and you cannot handle them. Do not kill any more worms as that will fill the arena with acid
-2) When you are running out of ammo or grenades

However, with practise you can solo him without hiding behind the rock

When Master Gee's health becomes low enough, he will drop a purple bulb. When you enter the purple bulb, you become immune to all corrosive damage and it heals you.
