Learn how to complete the Z8N-TP side mission in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. Find out where to get elemental putti and defeat the corrupted Claptrap.
Walkthrough
- 1Accept the Mission: You can pick up the Z8N-TP mission in Tycho's Ribs during 'The Beginning of the End' quest. Look for a jump pad near an elevator that leads to a side area with the NPC. The mission is available at level 27.
- 2Gather Elemental Weapons: Before you head out, make sure you have at least one weapon of each of the four elemental types: shock, cryo, burn, and corrosive. They don't need to be powerful; the goal is just to inflict the elemental effect.
- 3Travel to Eleseer: The 'putti' you need are obtained from Opha Guardians, which are found in Eleseer, the final area of the game. You'll naturally visit Eleseer while progressing through the main story mission 'The Beginning of the End', so you can tackle this side mission then.
- 4Farm Opha Guardians: Once in Eleseer, make your way to the end of the first path you encounter. Here, you'll find an Opha Guardian that continuously spawns. Your objective is to collect four different kinds of elemental 'putti'.
- 5Collect the Putti: To get the 'putti', you need to damage the Opha Guardian with one of your elemental weapons to inflict its specific status effect. After applying the effect, melee the Opha until it drops the 'putti' of that element. Repeat this process for all four elements (shock, cryo, burn, corrosive) until you have two of each.
- 6Return to Z8N-TP: Once you've collected all the required elemental 'putti', head back to Z8N-TP in Tycho's Ribs.
- 7Defeat the Corrupted Putti: Upon returning, Z8N-TP will have a problem: the 'putti' you collected will become hostile and start attacking! You'll need to destroy all of them.
- 8Finish the Mission: After clearing out the corrupted 'putti', talk to Z8N-TP one last time to complete the mission.
Tips
- Make sure your elemental weapons are equipped and ready before you start farming the Opha Guardians.
- The Opha Guardians can be a bit tough, so use cover if needed.
- Don't forget to melee the Opha after applying the elemental effect; just shooting them won't yield the 'putti'.
