Borderlands 3 All Named Locations Guide

September 19, 2019 by PowerPyx 46 Comments

Borderlands 3 (BL3) has 223 Named Locations and this guide shows where to find them. You need all Named Locations for the following trophies and achievements:

  • Master Of All You Survey – Discover all named locations.
  • A Hundred Names For Sand – Discover all named locations on Pandora.
  • City Slicker – Discover all named locations on Promethea.
  • Swamped – Discover all named locations on Eden-6.
  • Exoarchaeolo – Discover all named locations on Nekrotafeyo.

None of the named locations are missable! You can still discover all of them after the story in free-roam. You can go back to all relevant places during the endgame. However, you must collect them all in one playthrough. When you start True Vault Hunter mode (New Game+) the statistics can break and this can reset the locations you already found.

To keep track of your progress, open the map and hit the L3 / Left Stick. You can zoom to Orbit to view total progress (how many of 223 named locations you found), zoom on the planet (how many per planet you found) or zoom to a specific map (see how many you found in that area). You also need the locations from all Circles of Slaughter and Proving Ground Trials!

When you find something new it always says “Area Discovered” with the location name in the middle of the screen. All you have to do is step into every uniquely named area in the game. There is no need to uncover (turn blue) the whole map, you just need to stand in the specific spots to register them. By uncovering all of the maps you will find most locations automatically along the way, but some require very specific positioning as the locations can be tiny.

It’s best to keep the locations for last and do all side missions first. The reason being that certain areas are locked behind specific side missions. After having done every main- and side mission in the game you will be able to access all places. Until then some named areas are unreachable. If you don’t get the trophy for all named locations, double check that you got the Circles of Slaughter and Proving Grounds and check the tracker for each map again.

    Got all 223 Locations and didn’t get the Trophy on PS4?

      Click on every single map again and check the tracker, as the tracker in Orbit is often wrong and there’s still something missing on an individual map.
      Make sure you fully explore the Trial Proving Grounds & Circles of Slaughter as well (full map in blue color).

      If the trophy is bugged hard, reinstalling the game has a small chance to fix it (just going through some areas again – but if you have an old save before finding last areas that’d be better to trigger it after reinstall – check PS+ cloud for backup save if you didn’t make a manual one).
      The tracking in this game is completely broken for all collectibles and everything else. I also had the trophy for all Eridian Slabs glitch out and show 36/30 and there are many other glitch reports on various trophies. Wouldn’t be surprised if this is another bugged one. Let me know if you’ve found a way to fix it in your game, as that might help others as well.

      I had the same problem, had 223/223 but no trophy.
      Then i remembered that there was one location that i had visited during my normal run which i had not visited during tvhm.

      True enough as soon as i visited that location (which was “The Hall Obsidian”), the trophy popped. Hope this helps.

    I might have to just try it again on VHM (Vault Hunter Mode). Ive explored everything 100% except that 1 Eridian Door Room in the Ascension Bluff. It’s the only trophy i’m missing for platinum as well. And if i’m going to go through all the areas again I might as well beat the game again. Gonna try and reinstall the game first

      I guess you are missing waterfall location on Eden 6 at the eridian slab on upper left side of the map. You need to basically put your nose in on that sign to the left of it for the location to register

      I have the same problem, did you find a fix for this?!?!? I have 222/223 because of this, I personally visited all 8 spots a second time and nothing changed, still 7/8. So frustrating, spent so many hours trying to get this 🙁

      It’s just the tracker being buggy.
      My Cistern of Slaughter also said 0/1 but I got the trophy for all locations. You can step into the Circle of Slaughter again in case it didn’t count before. But I’m pretty sure it’s just the tracker being messed up.

    It says 4/5 for Athenas despite me visiting each zone. Also it say 32/33 for Pandora, but each individual zone shows I’ve been in every location.

    for me my city slicker trophy is bugged I have 43/43 locations discovered and it still is not giving it to me. and plus I’m at 223/223 on all location and I didn’t get that trophy either.

      Go back through all the areas on Promethea. Fortunately it’s the tracker that is bugged, not the actual save file. It SAYS you have 43/43, but the actual game thinks you’re still missing one. When you go back through this area (whichever one decided to glitch out) you will get “Area Discovered” despite having already gone through before, and your trophies should pop.

      There’s no way to tell exactly which location specifically bugged, but since your trophy for Promethea didn’t pop, it’s definitely one of the locations there, so go revisit all 43 locations and you should be good.

    Hi I am having trouble with pandora. The big overview of all areas of pandora says I am missing one area but when I go and look at each particular area of pandora it says I have discovered all locations. Is this a glitch or is there an area where you cant fast travel to

    Hi, I’ve got every single location on every planet. I have received the trophies for these planets.

    I am currently missing 1 location and that’s Slaughterstar 3000.

    I’ve completed Slaughterstar 3000 received the trophy and also removed the trophy for completing all side missions.

    But due to missing this 1 location I’m not able to get my platinum.

    What do you suggest I should do?

      You have to revisit all 223 locations in one sitting. I did it today and finally got Master Of All You Survey trophy.

    • Daniyal says

      May 5, 2020 at 8:23 pm

      I did exactly that with every planet but Pandora’s trophy is the only one that refuses to pop it’s so tedious to do it again honestly

  21. TheBlueFruit says

    May 4, 2020 at 9:29 am

    As Driver0 said, you have to revisit all locations in one go, without quitting the game or travelling to Sanctuary. It’s frustrating as hell and takes a while (~3 hours if you know all the locations) but it worked for me. Some locations do save though.

      I did that, but the pandora trophy dit not unlock and my game crashed so i have to discovery all the locations again. Do you guys think that 2 k is going to correct that in the next patch? It was really frustrating to spend 5 hours and have to do it all over again

  22. Jwalker707 says

    May 5, 2020 at 2:14 am

    Even with revisiting each location with power pyx guide perfectly multiple times I can confirm this trophy is 100% broken. Only fix will be a patch which the developers refuse to release. No matter this platinum takes no effort & skill would care less to have it after all of this.

    Thank you very much for this introduction. According to this, I got all named places, but I still can not get the “Discover all named locations”. I think maybe it’s the problem of “Slaughterstar 3000”, Cause I can not get any information like “Exploring … place” or “Found …. place”. Is there any way to solve this problem? Trust me,I have been every places and point.

    I’m having the same problem as you guys! I only have (Master Of All You Survey) trophy left! I’ve tried to visit all locations in one go but my game crashed when I only had Nekrotafeyo to visit. I’ve sent a ticket to 2k support hopefully they will do something about it.

    I think what is breaking this for most people is Slaughterstar 3000. All other locations either say ‘Area Discovered’ or ‘Now Entering’ when you go to them, but when you fast travel to Slaughterstar 3000 you don’t get either of them popping up at all and you can’t even travel back to Sanctuary 3, travel to Slaughterstar 3000 and use the drop pod because returning to Sanctuary 3 is apparently what resets all your discovered progress on all previous worlds.

    I wanted to add this because I followed SO many guides after 12+ hours running through each planet listed above at least 3x each.

    In order to get the “Master Of All You Surveyed” trophy, you must ALSO discover all named locations in Midnight’s Cairn as well. By following guides I found like this one, none of the mentioned Midnight’s Cairn so I overlooked it (facepalm). Ran through it and the trophy finally popped.

    Hopefully this can help someone else as well.

    Thank you very much for this guide Powerpyx! Spent 7 hours yesterday running through Borderlands 3 and finally got the platinum. What a headache!

    I confirm it is possible in one go.
    a few tips:
    – Do not go to sanctuary or main menu!
    – If slaughterstar 3000 wont discover, go online for another circle of slaughter co-op and then navigate to drop pod on 3000. worked for me
    – Dont kill any bosses, you wont be able to go to vaults, otherwise try going for co-op online and renavigate.
    – check every proving ground again.
    – if a map is discovered, usually all areas are too, visa versa
    – in areas where you spawn in the area itself, always backtrack from next area. (see pitt stop, but also pyre of stars area itself for examples)

    After multiple tickets more than a year ongoing, gaerbox developers cant seem to fix this bug!

    Good luck to anyone who is attempting this!

    Heck, I know every map by heart! 😂

    Followed this guide perfectly TWICE and all in one sitting both times. Was so mad when trophy still didn’t pop. Only needed this trophy in order to get platinum… HOWEVER, thanks to a comment earlier by brun0, after I followed this guide the second time, I traveled to Midnight’s Cairn and dropped down from the starting cliff. As soon as I dropped down at Midnight’s Cairn, the trophy popped for me!!! \(^_^)/

    Hope this helps some of you, don’t forget to try Midnight’s Cairn immediately after following this guide!!!!!!!
