Borderlands 4‘s Waterstop Evocarium puzzle is one of the first to not just point you directly to all three golden spheres. The first two are mostly in plain sight, but the beam of light pointing toward the third sphere isn’t quite so helpful with its direction.
Below, we explain where to find the Waterstop Evocarium in Borderlands 4 and how to get its three orbs.
Waterstop Evocarium location in Borderlands 4
The Waterstop Evocarium puzzle is at the Waterstop point of interest east of your first base and northeast of the Splashzone boss fight. It’s filled with the Timekeeper’s minions, who’ve stationed themselves throughout the area, including on the walkways on the facility’s northern side, which gives them a clear view of pretty much everywhere in Waterstop. Use cover carefully, take your time, and don’t go in with guns blazing unless you’re playing in a multiplayer party.
Once you’ve cleared the area of all enemies, approach the small bridge in the center, and scan the Evocarium terminal to get a sense of where the three orbs are.
Where to find Waterstop Evocarium’s orbs in Borderlands 4
Two orbs are on rooftops nearby, and you can see one of them from the Evocarium terminal. Climb up to the roof, using the grappling anchor point if you need to, and grab it. Then, look back across to where you just came from, and you’ll see the second one. Use your glide pack to hover across the rooftops and grab that one.
The beam pointing out the third sphere points at a building you can’t enter, but it’s best to just ignore that. The sphere is here, under the building where you grabbed the first one.
With all three in hand, go back to the terminal, scan it again, and listen to the message. Like with Borderlands 4‘s other Evocarium collectibles, the message itself is your only reward. You don’t get anything else for grabbing this one just yet.
