Master the Trial of Supremacy in Borderlands 3 with our comprehensive guide. Learn boss strategies, optional objectives, and tips for defeating the Sera of Supremacy.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Accept the challenge from the Overseer and enter the trial area.
  2. 2
    Defeat waves of enemies, including Dark Maliwan Soldiers (prioritize NOGs to stop healing, then Heavies) and Eridian Guardians (focus on Heralds, then Seras; use Shock weapons).
  3. 3
    Keep an eye out for a Fallen Guardian near forcefield-blocked walls for extra loot and cash.
  4. 4
    Proceed to the boss arena.
  5. 5
    Defeat the Sera of Supremacy, a Sera-type Eridian Guardian. Use Shock weapons to break its shields. Avoid its Orb attacks by backing away. Deplete two full life bars to win.
  6. 6
    Open the chest at the end of the area to complete the trial.
Tips
  • Build: A strong build is recommended, especially for completing optional objectives within the 25-minute time limit. Aim to one-shot most enemies.
  • SDU Upgrades: Upgrade your ammo and grenade SDUs as you'll use a lot of resources.
  • Guardian Rank: Level up your Survivor Tree to unlock the Resilient perk, allowing revivals from Fight For Your Life with full health and shields.
  • Shock Weapons: Essential for fighting Eridian Guardians, including the boss, as they have shields.

Optional Objectives:

  • Find the Fallen Guardian
  • Complete Trial without Dying
  • Kill Boss with 25:00 Remaining
  • Kill Boss with 20:00 Remaining

These objectives reward extra cash and XP but are not required to complete the trial.

Boss: Sera of Supremacy

  • Type: Sera-type Eridian Guardian
  • Weakness: Shock damage (due to shields).
  • Attacks: Launches Orbs of Eridian or Radiation.
  • Strategy: Use Shock weapons. Back away to avoid Orb attacks. Deplete two life bars.
