Mission Walkthrough

Analyzing The Slab

BTFV-3

Make your way towards the lab where Tannis has instructed you to analyze the slab that has been stored for some time.

BTFV-4

Inspect the slab in the lab which will allow you to decipher it and play a message from one of the ancient Eridian beings who trapped The Destroyer.

After you interact with the slab, you will take out your device and you will hear Nyriad’s voice telling you about The Destroyer.

Finding Typhon DeLeon

Destroy the vines with your melee attack and proceed further heading towards the waypoint.

While making your way to the coordinates where you are to meet Typhon DeLeon, you will come across new creatures that you may kill along the way or simply run past.

BTFV-11

You will reach a room where there is a barrier blocking the exit which you will need to take down in order to continue towards your waypoint.

BTFV-12

There will be a power unit covered in vines that will require you to use your melee attack to remove them.

BTFV-13

Once you have removed the vines, interact with the power unit to redirect the power, taking down the barrier.

BTFV-14

Grab a vehicle from the nearby Catch-A-Ride and make your way towards the coordinates to where Typhon DeLeon is waiting.

BTFV-15

When you are near the waypoint, the path will be narrow so you will have continued on foot while you approach the meeting area.

BTFV-16

There will be a dead end which you need to approach in order to reveal its real form, a barrier disguised as stone.

Do not mind that Typhon uses his whip to get around as there will be areas you can move across to meet up to where he heads off to.

Placing The Vault Keys

BTFV-21

Upon arriving, Typhon will begin to talk about the situation and later on you will need to place each of the vault keys that you have with you in their necessary slots.

This will conclude the preparation for the opening of another vault and will complete the mission.

The First Vault Hunter Mission Rewards

Upon completion of the First Vault Hunter mission, you will be rewarded with around 14,192 cash and a rare cosmetic skin.

Tips

BTFV-23

  • This mission serves as an introduction to Nekrotafeyo and finally shows you the great Typhon DeLeon that you have been hearing about.
  • The enemies are all different from the previous ones you have encountered but can still be taken down easily as long as you have gear that matches your current level and theirs.
  • You can continue making your way towards the way points for most of the objectives and avoid confrontation, especially if your level is higher than the enemies in the area.
