Complete Borderlands 3 Holy Spirits: Athenas Walkthrough

AntMag.NET

Alright, so you're heading to Athenas and picked up the 'Holy Spirits' side mission while doing 'The Impending Storm' main mission. Let's get this done so you can snag some sweet loot!

Walkthrough

1
First things first, find Mendel. He's the guy you need to talk to to accept the mission. Once you've got the quest, just stick close to him and follow him around until your objective updates. Easy peasy.
2
Next up, you'll need to enter the Celler. Keep an eye out for something called 'Ratch Gunk'. To get rid of it, you'll need to shoot a bullseye that's nearby. The first one is to your right once you enter the Celler. You'll need to clear out three of these Ratch Gunk things in total, and the game will point you to them with waypoints.
3
After you've cleared a path, you'll head deeper in. This is where the Ratch Broodmothers come in. You'll need to take them out. There are three of them lurking around, so keep your eyes peeled and your guns ready.
4
Now, for an optional objective that's totally worth it: harvesting Intoxicated Ratch Livers. While you're busy dealing with the Ratch Gunk and the Broodmothers, look for dead Ratch scattered around the area. They'll be lying against the walls. Collect five of these livers for Mendel. Doing this will unlock a Red Chest for you, which is always a win.
5
Once you've dealt with the three Broodmothers, make your way to the final room. Your next target is the Ratch Nest. Take it out! After that, you'll need to grab the Bell Striker. Install it and then interact with it to open the door that leads back to Mendel.
6
You're almost done! Once that door is open, head back to Mendel. Before you chat with him, make sure you place the five Ratch Livers you collected into the pot. Then, talk to Mendel to finish the mission. You'll get access to that Red Chest behind the door as your reward.

Tips

Don't skip the optional objective! Harvesting those Intoxicated Ratch Livers is the key to unlocking a Red Chest, and who doesn't want more loot?
Keep an eye on your minimap for the waypoints guiding you to the Ratch Gunk and the Broodmothers.
The Ratch Nest can be a bit tough, so make sure you're well-supplied with ammo and health before heading into the final room.
