Exploring the sprawling neon-lit world of Promethea in Borderlands 3 introduces players to unique planetary environments and numerous hidden crew challenges. Among these objectives, tracking down the audio logs left behind by the legendary first Vault Hunter, Typhon DeLeon, provides crucial lore and valuable loot. Securing every log in the Meridian Outskirts area is essential for unlocking the regional Typhon Dead Drop cache filled with high-tier gear.
The Initial Log Near the Spillway Bridge
The first audio log is situated near the beginning of the zone, close to the makeshift rebel settlements. Players should head toward the massive support structures holding up the upper highway systems near the central spillway. Look for a rocky ledge elevated just above the main vehicle pathway where the terminal is safely mounted.
Approaching this platform requires a brief climb up the metallic scaffolding nearby. Once you reach the top level, the distinct yellow glow of the Typhon terminal will become visible against the concrete backdrop. Interacting with this device plays an entertaining story detailing Typhon's initial arrival on the corporate planet.
The Hidden Terminal in the Bandit Outpost
The second recording requires players to navigate deep into a Maliwan and bandit-infested camp located on the eastern side of the map. This area features multi-tiered structures that demand careful vertical exploration to clear out aggressive enemies before searching. You will need to fight through several waves of foes to secure the perimeter safely.
Look toward the northern edges of this encampment to find a small overlooking balcony built from scrap metal. The terminal sits at the edge of this balcony, giving a clear view of the industrial wasteland below. Activating this second unit brings you one step closer to revealing the secret stash location.
The Final Log Near the Elevators
The third and final collectible is positioned near the massive elevator system that connects the outskirts to the central metroplex. Players should explore the lower underpass areas beneath the primary elevator column where container boxes are stacked. This section is often patrolled by dangerous local wildlife and automated security drones.
Search the small alcove tucked directly behind the structural support beams to locate the device. Collecting this final piece of data completes the regional collection challenge for the zone. Tannis will immediately patch through to confirm that the coordinate decryption process is finished.
Unlocking the Meridian Outskirts Dead Drop Cache
With all three regional audio logs successfully gathered, the coordinates for the hidden Typhon Dead Drop will automatically populate on your map screen. The secure container is hidden inside a secure alcove located back near the central hub pathways of the outskirts. Players must look for a metallic shutter door that has now become interactive.
Opening this container rewards Vault Hunters with an assortment of randomized weaponry, shields, and useful class modifications. It serves as an excellent gear boost for players looking to optimize their character builds early in the campaign. Clearing this challenge fully completes the exploration metrics for this portion of Promethea.
