Borderlands 3

Description

Borderlands 3, a first-person shooter released in 2019, is the latest installment in the popular looter-shooter series known for its distinct cel-shaded graphics, over-the-top humor, and vast arsenal of procedurally generated weapons. Players select one of four unique Vault Hunters, each with their own abilities and playstyles, to embark on a galaxy-spanning adventure to stop the fanatical Calypso Twins. The game builds upon its predecessors by introducing new planets, enhanced mobility, and a staggering variety of loot, making weapon discovery a core and addictive element of the experience. Among the various challenges available to players in Borderlands 3 are the Eridian Proving Grounds, including the Trial of Cunning. This optional test of skill is accessed after locating an Eridian Lodestar in The Splinterlands on Pandora and having acquired the Eridian Analyzer from the main story. This grants the “Discover the Trial of Cunning” mission, leading players to the Ghostlight Beacon where the trial itself is located. Upon arrival, the player accepts the main quest from the Overseer. The Trial of Cunning follows the standard Proving Grounds format: players must fight through waves of enemies across three distinct areas and defeat a final boss within a 30-minute time limit. Optional objectives, such as completing the trial without dying, finding a hidden Fallen Guardian, and finishing the boss fight with significant time remaining, add extra challenge and potential rewards. Ammo and health vending machines are conveniently placed at the start of the trial. The unique mini-boss for the Trial of Cunning is the Tink of Cunning. This respawnable enemy engages the player primarily with specialized grenades. Initially, it uses Homing Spiked Tires and Fire MIRVs. In its second phase, the Tink gains a random elemental imbument, becoming resistant to that element and replacing the Spiked Tires with a more powerful elemental grenade. These can include Homing Corrosion grenades, Shock Web grenades for area denial, or Incendiary Fireworks, each requiring different strategies to avoid damage. Successfully completing the Trial of Cunning rewards players with experience and money. Crucially for gear farming, the Tink of Cunning has an increased chance of dropping the legendary Dragon and R4kk P4k class mods. The Trial of Cunning offers a focused combat gauntlet that tests a player's ability to handle various enemy types and environmental hazards, providing a repeatable challenge for those seeking powerful loot and a test of their combat prowess.
