In Borderlands 3, you can currently get good loot from bosses. Particularly, the boss Graveward has proven to be lucrative.
How to farm bosses: In Borderlands 3, it is possible to fight many bosses again. Once the questline for the respective boss is completed, you can return to the fight area to challenge the boss again.
Especially in the endgame, this can be worthwhile if you are looking for a strong challenge using the Mayhem Mode. Then there is also good loot and plenty of XP – especially one boss stands out.
Note: If you absolutely want to avoid spoilers, it’s better not to read any further from here.
Farming Graveward and Location
Here you can find Graveward: Graveward appears during the story. He can be found at the “Altar of the Guardians” on Eden-6.
That’s why you should defeat Graveward: Graveward has proven to be a boss that particularly likes to drop legendary loot. You can get many of the currently 122 discovered legendary weapons from him.
Especially with the Mayhem Mode activated, he leaves behind a powerful weapon or two when you take him down. You also get plenty of XP when defeating him – Graveward is suitable for quick leveling.
This is important to note: If you go against him with the Mayhem Mode activated, Graveward will logically become more difficult. Especially on level 3, the Mayhem modifiers can really pose a challenge. Some mods can weaken bullet damage or elements can hinder you.
You can view the mods on the map before the fight. If there are too many negative modifications, you can reload your game – that reshuffles the mods.
How to defeat Graveward
This is how you defeat Graveward: On reddit, many players have identified Graveward as a good loot spot and devised tactics. Especially the strong Porcelain Pipe Bomb was massively effective against Graveward, but was nerfed via patch.
A popular weapon against Graveward is now the “Lyuda”. You can get it, for example, by completing all of Zer0’s opportunity targets. A reddit user managed to take down the boss using critical hits with the Lyuda in ten seconds at Mayhem level 2. You can see this in the video here:
Graveward’s weak points: The glowing spots on Graveward’s body are his weak points – and your targets. Otherwise, you are well set up with fire damage. Be especially careful not to fall off the moving platform!
Once you have defeated him, you can look forward to plenty of XP and strong weapons. If you are looking for more tasks – especially for the endgame – you will find them here:
