Decide done easy

Complete stage one on monsoon difficulty with the Artifact of Honor enabled. It'll take 5-10 mins to collect all gear in the level.

Took me three tries to get the proper gear and every time the boss was a blazing wandering vagrant which is easy to cheese from far away with commando.

Another slight variation if this is still giving you a hard time.

 

Run with the following artifacts: Command, Glass, Honor.  Hope you get into a world with an equipment box, and pick up either the preon or the rockets (I don't remember their proper names), pick up a few Armor-Piercing rounds if they are convenient, and then run to the boss.  You do not have to survive the teleport event, just kill the boss.  Your equipment should do most of the work, and then you just run around in a panic until you can kill the boss.

 

Mrs. Bee and I managed this with both the Huntress and the Artificer after a few tries.  It may not be as easy as taking it slow, but it is certainly quicker.

Yup, this is the way to do it in my opinion. Don't get frustrated if it takes several attempts to get the right setup. Took me probably 25 or so respawns to finally get it done with the Preon.
