Last update: 04 April 2019

On this page of the game guide to Borderlands 2 you will find the walkthrough description of the main mission titled The Road to the Sanctuary. You will complete this mission after reaching the location named Three Horns Divide.

Three Horns Divide - southern part:

1) Starting point/teleport to Southern Shelf

2) Catch -a- Ride

3) Hyperion Adapter

4) Tunnel entrance/exit

7) Passage leading to Reiss

8) Reiss

9) Bandits camp

Three Horns Divide - northern part:

4) Tunnel entrance/exit

5) Sanctuary

6) ECHO Recorder

After you reach the destination, get off the ship and head towards the bridge in the west. As you move closer, you will witness it getting destroyed. Cross the demolished bridge and head up the path, where you will be attacked by Monglets and a Bullymong.

When you reach the top, head south towards Catch-a-Ride [2] and try using the device. It will be blocked by Scooter.

Now head to the camp in the north-west (the entrance is pointed on screen).

After eliminating the Bandits found inside, in the middle of the camp you should come across the Hyperion adapter.

Return to Catch-a-Ride [2] and install the Hyperion adapter. Use Catch-a-Ride and choose to Deploy Vehicle.

Enter the vehicle and use it to jump to the other side of the precipice from the ramp north-east of Catch-a Ride. Remember to use boost (by default F).

Once on the other side, follow the tunnel [4] north of the landing spot, as seen in the above screenshot.

After you exit the tunnel, head further north towards Sanctuary [5]. When you reach your destination, you should see a Bandit knocking on the gate. Attack him and more Bandits will come in running from the camp on the left.

With the area clear, approach the button to the right of the gate. From a short conversation you will learn that a certain Reiss has gone missing and you have to find him.

Enter the vehicle (if your previous one got destroyed, there's a Catch-a-Ride to the right of the gate) and head south-west [6]. Eliminate the nearby Monglets and pick up the ECHO Recorder from the road.

From the place where you found the ECHO Recorder, head a bit to the south-west [7]. There you will find a passage by which you'll have to leave your vehicle.

Keep heading south while looking out for any Monglets. Eventually you will reach a spot where 3 Bandits will be kicking Reiss [8]. Eliminate them and speak with Reiss.

Now head back north and take the first turn west. Following the tunnel you will reach a Bandit camp [9]. Here you have to kill 20 enemies and retrieve the Power core. The item will be dropped by one of the killed Bandits.

If you will still need to kill some bandits and there will be none around, head up the stairs in the middle of the camp. That will cause them to respawn. After completing the mission objectives, return to Sanctuary [5]. Press the button to the right of the gate and this time you will be able to head inside Sanctuary.

Go up the stairs of the building on the right.

On the terrace, first speak to Davis. Afterwards remove the old Power core from the reactor and install the new one. Speak to Davis again to end the mission. As a reward, you can choose one of the weapons.
