Follow this Borderlands 3 walkthrough to complete the Golden Calves side mission. Find posters, print Vaughn statues, and destroy COV idols in Ascension Bluff.
Alright, let's tackle the Golden Calves side mission in Borderlands 3. It's a bit of a scavenger hunt mixed with some good old-fashioned mayhem. We'll be grabbing some posters, doing some printing, and then smashing some enemy idols.
Walkthrough
- 1Find the Posters in Ascension Bluff: First things first, head over to Ascension Bluff and make your way to the northeast part of the map. You're looking for a camp that's crawling with enemies. Clear them all out – no distractions allowed! Once the area is safe, you'll find three posters to rip down. The first one, the Poster with a Profile view, is on a wall near the camp's entrance. After that, head up the stairs, grab the White Chest at the end of the walkway, and then cross the bridge. The Poster with an Intimate view is pinned to a board right there. For the last one, the Poster with a Front view, drop down from the bridge and head towards the north side of the camp; it's on a tower.
- 2Head to the 3D Printing Plant: With all the posters secured, keep pushing north from the tower. You'll run into more enemies, so take them out as you go. Your destination is the 3D printing plant. Once you get there, interact with the printer to start making some Vaughn statues. After the printing is done, go ahead and interact with the statues to admire your handiwork.
- 3Destroy COV Statues and Replace Them: Now, Vaughn needs your help to swap out some enemy idols. You'll find the first COV statue chilling on a shelf to the right of the 3D printer. After you've dealt with that one, you'll need to find and destroy two more COV statues scattered around the area. Keep an eye on your map for objective markers pointing you to their locations. Once all three COV statues are destroyed and replaced with Vaughn's finest, it's time to wrap things up. Fast Travel back to the Crimson Command in The Droughts and have a chat with Vaughn to officially complete this side mission.
Tips
- Make sure to clear out all enemies in the Ascension Bluff camp before you start looking for the posters. It'll make your life a lot easier.
- Don't forget to grab the White Chest after ripping down the first poster – it's a nice little bonus!
- Keep an eye on your mini-map for the locations of the COV statues; they can sometimes be a little tricky to spot.
