You have already passed through the Desolation’s Edge and seen a gigantic cube floating in the middle of the map. We guide you to find the solution to the secret of the cube on Nekrotafeyo.

Borderlands 3 — How to solve the Floating Cube Puzzle in Nekrotafeyo?

The developers of Borderlands 3 thought of us. The game is full of references and easter egg of all kinds, and it's always fun to discover. To add a layer, it is necessary to know that secrets are present in the game, and we discovered one. We share this with you, hoping you will find legendary weapons there.

Solution of this Secret

To begin, in order to solve this little secret of Borderlands 3, you will need to have already advanced a minimum in history. If you have access to the Desolation’s Edge area, go there, with one weapon of each elemental type on you.

Once there, it will be necessary to activate the 6 sides of the cube. To do this, be patient. Pull on each side of the cube with a different element.

In fact, to activate a face (as on our screen below), you need to find out which element it corresponds to. There is one side per type of damage of the game, so: no element, incendiary, cryo, corrosive, irradiated, electrical. It's up to you to find out what corresponds to what, when you validate a face, it becomes slightly redder. The cube will eventually open!

Rewards and information

Opening the cube will drop you out the loot. It seems that the quality and quantity of this one depends on the level of difficulty currently faced by the host party. True hunter and Mayhem 3 is therefore the best combo to make this secret. So you have an interest in solving the latter: potentially seeing one of the game's best legendary weapons fall.

You can only open the cube once per character. The only way to do it again, will be to join the part of a character who has never done it before. The opening of the cube is validated and taken into account for all members of a game. Each of them receives the same legendary items from the floating cube.
