Your quick guide to completing the 'Discover the Trial of Cunning' side mission in Borderlands 3. Learn how to navigate to Ghostlight Beacon and use the drop pod.

Alright, so you've picked up the 'Discover the Trial of Cunning' side mission. It's a pretty straightforward one, mostly about getting from point A to point B, but it does unlock a cool endgame activity. Let's get you through it.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head to Ghostlight Beacon: First things first, you'll need to use the navigation console. If you're not already there, fast travel back to Sanctuary and then make your way to the Navigation Console. From there, select Ghostlight Beacon and warp over.
  2. 2
    Use the Drop Pod: Once you arrive at Ghostlight Beacon, which is basically a big ship, head all the way down to the lowest level. You'll find a drop pod waiting for you. Hop in and use it to descend to the planet below. This will wrap up the mission itself.

Completing this mission grants you access to an Eridian Proving Ground. This is a pretty significant endgame activity, so it's worth doing! For the specifics on how to tackle the Trial of Cunning itself, you'll want to check out the dedicated page for that Eridian Proving Ground.
