Borderlands 3's page

  1. Children of the Vault

    You arrived on Pandora as a Vault Hunter and joined Lilith's Crimson Raiders. The Calypso twins, Tyreen and Troy, had united bandits into the Children of the Vault. You recovered a map to alien Vaults, but Tyreen ambushed Lilith and stole her Siren powers. You rescued Lilith and left Pandora aboard Sanctuary III to pursue the twins across the galaxy.

  2. Promethea and Athenas

    You helped Rhys defend Atlas against Maliwan on Promethea and recruited the Siren Maya on Athenas. Together, you opened Promethea's Vault and killed the Rampager inside. The twins arrived to harvest its power. When Maya tried to protect her apprentice Ava, Troy drained Maya and killed her. You returned to Sanctuary with Ava, while Troy gained Maya's powers.

  3. Eden-6

    You searched Eden-6 for another Vault Key with Wainwright Jakobs and Hammerlock. Aurelia Hammerlock had allied with the twins, and you killed her before reaching the Vault. After you defeated its monster, Graveward, Tannis blocked the twins from feeding on it. They abducted her instead, forcing you to return to Pandora and fight through their followers to reach her.

  4. The Great Vault

    You fought the Agonizer 9000 and freed Tannis, who revealed the Siren powers she had inherited from Angel. You then attacked the twins' cathedral. Troy was using Maya's power to charge Elpis, Pandora's moon, as the key to the Great Vault. Pandora itself was that Vault. You killed Troy, and Maya's powers passed to Ava, but Tyreen survived.

  5. Nekrotafeyo

    You followed a message to Nekrotafeyo and found Typhon DeLeon, the first Vault Hunter and the twins' father. He explained that Pandora imprisoned the Destroyer. You helped him prepare an ancient machine to close the Great Vault before it opened fully. Tyreen interrupted, wrecked the machine, and fatally wounded Typhon. You had to return to Pandora and confront her.

  6. Lilith's Last FlightThe ending

    You killed Tyreen after she merged with the Destroyer, restoring Lilith's powers. Yet Elpis was still tearing Pandora apart. Lilith entrusted the Crimson Raiders to Ava and flew toward the moon to stop it, leaving a blazing Firehawk emblem in the sky. You returned to Sanctuary with the surviving Raiders. Pandora was saved, while Lilith's fate remained uncertain.
