Finding Fractis isn’t as simple as following a waypoint—his arena is hidden behind one of Borderlands 4’s most complex traversal puzzles. This exploration-focused guide shows players how to unlock and access his arena as quickly as possible.
Start in the Eclipsera region and locate the Obsidian Wastes outpost. From there, head toward the fractured canyon where three power conduits are located. Each conduit must be manually activated to open the path forward.
The conduits are guarded by elite enemies. Defeating them triggers energy surges that unlock the next checkpoint. It’s best to use long-range weapons during these encounters to conserve resources for the boss fight.
After activating all conduits, a portal device will appear near the canyon’s center. Interact with it to access the Fractis Arena. Be prepared—once you enter, there’s no turning back until victory or defeat.
Explorers should take advantage of hidden shortcuts. Several ledges around the canyon allow skipping entire enemy waves by precise jumping. Using a relic that enhances movement or double-jump ability saves significant travel time.
The arena itself is visually stunning, filled with floating debris and glowing ruins. Take a moment to explore before triggering the fight—hidden caches containing ammo and grenades are scattered along the edges.
Once unlocked, Fractis’s arena becomes permanently accessible. This means future runs require no puzzle-solving, making subsequent farming much faster. You can even teleport directly via the Eclipsera fast travel terminal after the first completion.
Understanding the traversal puzzle not only helps speedrunners but also enhances the sense of adventure. Discovering and unlocking Fractis’s domain is one of the most satisfying exploration experiences in Borderlands 4.
