Beating Captain Haunt in Borderlands 3

To get to Captain Haunt, you’ll first need to obtain 25 Hecktoplasms, which are simply obtained by killing Haunted enemies found across the planets.

Haunted enemies will spawn randomly in the world, but if you’re looking to farm them, you can find them more frequently in these areas:

  • Circles of Slaughter
  • Lectra City
  • Voracious Canopy

Once you have your 25 Hecktoplasms, take them back to Maurice on Sanctuary and he’ll open a portal that takes you to Heck. Head inside, and make your way through the areas while killing the enemies.

Along the way, you’ll need to kill a total of three Keymasters to keep progressing. Keymasters will spawn as you kill more enemies, so just keep shooting away.

After killing all three, you’ll finally reach Captain Haunt himself. He’s a fairly easy enemy to kill, and shock damage will work well against his shields.

As the battle progresses, adds will appear to protect him, and you’ll need to take them out first before you can keep damaging him. Rinse and repeat until he’s dead.

Time needed: 30 minutes

To sum up, here’s how to kill Captain Haunt in Borderlands 3:

  1. Collect 25 Hecktoplasms and bring them to Maurice.

  2. Kill the three Keymasters while making your way over to Captain Haunt.

  3. Take out Captain Haunt’s shields with shock damage.

  4. Kill the adds that spawn in the middle of battle to make Haunt vulnerable again, then shoot him.
