‘Her Flaming Vision’ is the tenth main mission that continues the story of Borderlands 4, following ‘Unpaid Tab.’ Callis the Ripper Queen has taken the Command Bolt and is employing it in her nefarious scheme. You must reach her fortress in the Crater and retrieve the device, even if you have to face the villainess herself. 

Borderlands 4: Her Flaming Vision Walkthrough 

Her Flaming Vision features a dramatic difficulty spike in its second half. Ensure that you are at least at level 14 and have reliable equipment for the mission.

  • Epic Assault Rifle
  • Rip It Out Vault Hunter Head
  • Punchy Whoopster Vehicle

Part 1: Reach the Crater

Begin the quest by speaking to Levaine in Carcadia. Callis the Ripper Queen has moved on to the next stage of her plan at the Crater, but Zane has an idea. Travel northwest up the mountain to meet Zane and set up the explosives he gives you to clear the path ahead. When that doesn’t work, enter your vehicle and drive into the obstructing rocks at full throttle.

Make sure you pass over the speed ramp on the ground to destroy the rocks. Summon your vehicle and back away from the ramp just enough to reach top speed. Then, drive down toward the speed ramp while using your boosters. Unfortunately, you aren’t able to launch yourself far enough across the chasm and will need more thrust. Head to the Gunworks to clear it of Rippers and look for the Spatial Accelerator

Climb the Drilldozer

The Spatial Accelerator is inside the Drilldozer Deluxe, a giant drilling machine. Destroy its turrets and jump onto it from the nearby buildings. After interacting with the maintenance access, jump off the machine and head to the broken-down crawler marked by the objective icon.

Kill Holey Moley and take the override key he drops. Return to the Drilldozer and interact with the maintenance access to open the engine room. Overheat the dozer by interacting with the two valves inside. Now, eject the spatial accelerator and return to Zane. Activate the two generators nearby, summon your vehicle, and drive over the ramp again to finally reach the Crater.

Part 2: Reach Callis’ Lair

As you land in the Crater, you’ll have an opportunity to sell and purchase consumables at two vending machines. Either fight through or bypass the enemy camps on the way to Callis’ Fortress.  

Upon reaching the Moon-Called Throne, clear out all the Rippers in the area. The battlefield here is expansive, and you can move from cover to cover along the periphery and use long-range weapons. After passing through the area, you’ll have to kill Mudmouth and his “friends.” You can stand on the elevated platform by the fortress entrance and shoot down at them from the vantage point. With the miniboss defeated, enter Callis’ Fortress. 

Fight your way through the fortress and follow the path to Callis’ lair. Defeat the Rippers at the entrance to open the door leading deeper into Callis’ domain. Keep following the path until you encounter two vending machines, and use them to prepare for a boss fight with the Ripper Queen herself.

  • Use Corrosive Damage to deplete Callis’ armored health bar quickly.
  • Callis has a small drone hovering around her called the Ripper King. Destroy it early on to reduce a source of damage. 
  • If you get downed, destroying the bombs Callis spawns will revive you.

Refer to the following table to learn Callis’ attack moves and the methods you can use to counter them. 

AttackDescriptionCounter 
Fire StompCallis slams a robot limb on the ground, causing fireballs to shoot in all directions and return five seconds later.  Double jump when she slams the limb, and stay out of the same line of attack when the fireballs return.
Tail SlamCallis raises her tail and jumps, spinning in the air and slamming down with red electricity.Dash to either side.
Uppercut Slash Callis strides up to you and slashes in an upward arc.Dash away or to either side.
Proximity BombsBombs spawn in a ring around the arena, detonating if you get near them.Shoot the bombs from a distance to dispose of them. 
Mortar Barrage Callis fires mortar rounds around the arena.Sprint in one direction while avoiding the target zones.
  • Second Phase: When Callis is reduced to half her health pool, she jumps high up the wall on a web and spawns red hologram mounds around the arena. Entering the hologram structures will damage and ensnare you, lowering your movement speed. Her minions will appear at this juncture, and you should focus on eliminating them before she jumps back down.

After defeating Callis, take the Command Bolt and return to Levaine to complete ‘Her Flaming Vision.’
