The Next Quest Thing | Borderlands 4 | As Rafa, Walkthrough, Gameplay, No Commentary, 4K

Borderlands 4, released on September 12, 2025, continues the beloved looter-shooter legacy developed by Gearbox Software. Set six years after its predecessor, the game whisks players away to the brand-new planet of Kairos, a world oppressed by the tyrannical Timekeeper. Following Lilith's accidental revelation of Kairos, a fresh band of Vault Hunters finds themselves captured and must rally with the Crimson Resistance to liberate the planet. Players can choose from four distinct new Vault Hunters—Rafa the Exo-Soldier, Harlowe the Gravitar, Amon the Forgeknight, and Vex the Siren—each boasting unique abilities and skill trees, while familiar faces like Moxxi and Claptrap make welcome returns. The game boasts a truly seamless open-world experience across Kairos's four diverse regions, enhanced by dynamic traversal options and immersive environmental effects, all while retaining the franchise’s signature outlandish weaponry and deep customization. One of the most intriguing side quests offered in Borderlands 4 is "The Next Quest Thing," a mission that masterfully embodies the series’ penchant for meta-humor and fourth-wall-breaking antics. Found in the Terminus Range’s Stoneblood Forest, this quest becomes available after completing "Sage Against the Machine" and features an NPC named Wayward Soul. The core of "The Next Quest Thing" lies in its brilliant role reversal; after undergoing bizarre enlightenment trials, the player is unceremoniously tasked with becoming a life coach for the utterly bewildered Wayward Soul. The mission's description perfectly sets the tone, questioning the very nature of the player's existence within the game. Objectives include hilariously absurd tasks such as balancing items on Wayward Soul's head, saving him from a swarm of Kratch, and then fabricating a justification for the ensuing chaos. The quest satirizes common game design tropes, pushing the player to have Wayward Soul embody negativity by throwing a rock at him for "awareness" and ultimately culminating in the player having to "accept his material burdens" and, in a darkly comedic twist, kill the now "enlightened" Wayward Soul himself. The rewards of experience, cash, and Eridium feel like a fittingly irreverent prize for navigating this self-aware parody of quest design, offering a perfect preview of Borderlands 4’s commitment to its unique and unashamedly quirky style.
