Your Borderlands 3 walkthrough for the 'Discover the Trial of Instinct' side mission. Learn how to navigate to Wayward Tether and use the drop pod to complete the objective.

Alright, so you've picked up the 'Discover the Trial of Instinct' side mission in Borderlands 3. It's pretty straightforward, mostly about getting you to a new area. Think of it as a quick hop to unlock something cool for later.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Navigate to Wayward Tether: First things first, you'll need to use the navigation console. If you're not already there, teleport back to Sanctuary. Once you're in Sanctuary, head over to the Navigation Console. From there, you'll want to set a course for the Wayward Tether. Just hop in and warp over there.
  2. 2
    Use Drop Pod: When you arrive at the Wayward Tether, your objective is to head down to the very bottom of the ship. Look for the drop pod – it's your ride down. Interact with it to launch yourself to the planet below. This action completes the mission itself.

Once you've successfully used the drop pod, you'll gain access to an Eridian Proving Ground. This is a pretty neat endgame activity, and the game will point you to a dedicated page for the 'Trial of Instinct' if you want to dive into the details of how to conquer that. So, this mission is basically your key to unlocking that next challenge!
