How do I defeat Bloodwing in the 'Wildlife Preservation' quest?
Can anyone offer me any guidance on the Wildlife Preservation quest, namely the part where you weaken Bloodwing. I realize there is a small spot over to the right intended to help you dodge her divebombs, but between fighting her and the Skags it's just so chaotic.
I've spent easily two to three thousand dollars on respawns at the New-U, but I eventually thought it was best to just go back to Sanctuary, do some side quests, level up, and come back and try to do the Wildlife Preservation quest. My personal problem is that I've never gotten past her shock elemental state. Divebombs aren't a problem, as I've explained before.
So anyway, can you offer some help beyond my own?

Given the limitted amount of info all i can say is you have to do 2 things:
1) go back and level up (more health = more chance to survive) 2) try to get better gear
I could probably give much better advice if i knew which mode you're on, your level, your class and your equipment. Though word of advice, in that map before bloodwing, theres a set of 4 cardboard boxes next to a red chest. if you're on the mission "Doctor's orders", these boxes have a really high chance of spawning loot midgets. so you can farm them for orange gear. (also a chance to spawn jenkins if going for the "challenge accepted" achievement)

What is the easiest way to kill Bloodwing?
my best advice would be to go down the elevator,die,then respawn at the top. i would recommend axton. then throw your turret down the elevator. when bloodwing lands, snipe her at the top of the elevator without ever having to enter the arena.Is there a way to save Bloodwing?
Nope. No way to save her. It's pretty heartbreaking as she was my favorite anime in the borderlands series.How do you fight Bloodwing?
Bloodwing will use Fire damage at the beginning of the fight, then transition to Electricity, and finally Corrosive. She will stay still when switching elements, giving you an opportunity to use your slower weapons. The fight is ended once Bloodwing reaches 10% health and Mordecai fires a tranquilizing shot.What legendary does Bloodwing drop?
The boss will spawn when you head back to the area after the storyline has progressed further than this point. The Son of Mothrakk is a reference to the first Borderlands where Mothrakk was a boss. SOM has a chance to drop the legendary the Skullmasher; Bloodwing also shares the same loot drops.Borderlands 2 : How to kill Bloodwing for Noobs

Answer 2
there are any number of reasons the Bloodwing fight can be difficult, but here's the most common fixes;
- you may just be under-leveled. remember, BL is a very interesting series in that, yeah after a little while even if you're under-leveled you might be able to get somewhere, but there usually is a spot where you can't continue regardless. try and make sure you're leveled enough to handle it.
- Bloodwing has multiple phases throughout the fight where her Elemental status changes, and for those on the Internet just reading for a walkthrough, that's evident by the colored texturing (eg. she starts as Corrosion, I believe, then with Incendiary, then Shock, and finally Slag). For each (minor exception of Slag), you need to swap out weapons according to her Elemental status, otherwise she becomes immune to your shots should they match.
if none of these are the problem (eg. you're dealing damage, but not enough), then you might just not have a large enough shield capacity to deal with it. i personally fought as Zer0 using the Law and Order combination for a good majority of my playthrough, included with the "melee attacks give back health" skills set within my tree, so my character kinda took the easy way out of things--if you used Axton or Salvador, for example, i can't give specific help there--but having a large shield and/or large HP definitely helps, as you're not eaten alive by the Skags before you know they're even there.
