How to Unlock No-Escape Room in Borderlands 4
To start the No-Escape Room side mission, you must first complete the main mission "The Falling Wall." This mission becomes available after reaching the mid-game point in Borderlands 4's story campaign.
Once finished, head to Terminus District and look for a tunnel with distinctive purple lighting and various posters on the walls. Interact with the large red button at the end of this tunnel to trigger the side mission.
Borderlands 4 No-Escape Room Complete Walkthrough
Step 1: Entering the No-Escape Room
Interact with the button to begin the No-Escape Room challenge. The floor below you will open, dropping you into the first puzzle room.
Step 2: Choosing the Correct Door
In the first room, you'll see three colored doors: red, blue, and yellow. You must pick the correct door to proceed.
Look closely at each door - only the yellow door has no bloodstains or corpses nearby, indicating it's the safe choice.
Step 3: Solving the Box Puzzle
The next room contains five boxes that must be opened in a specific order to obtain the access card.
Search the area for wooden boards with clues that reveal the correct sequence:
- Flower
- Bird
- Monster
- Triangle
- Eye
Step 4: Navigating the Maze
After obtaining the access card, you'll enter a maze. The solution is simple: follow the direction that the carrot tips are pointing on the ground.
Step 5: Escaping the Trap
At the end of the maze, you'll be prompted to take an exit, but this is actually a trap. The floor will open again, dropping you into a toxic chamber.
Facing the Smiley Man, turn right and look up to see a vent. Use your grappling hook to open it and shoot the mechanism inside to power down the force field.
Step 6: Final Escape
After confronting the Smiley Man, he will walk into a red-lit corridor and be burned to death. Make your escape through the door on the left.
Take the elevator and jump down from the hole back to Terminus District to complete the side mission.
