Starting Location: Breeding Daisies
This is a hidden side mission that isn’t marked on the map by a “!” icon when unfogging the area. To trigger it, you must go to the lake west of The Launchpad (faction town). When you go there the first time, a guy called Mort will call you over the radio and tells you he is having trouble with Treshers. He sits on a rock by the lake (the second rock to the left of the tower). You have to kill the treshers below the rock where he sits, only after that the side mission icon will appear. Then you can talk to Mort on the rock to start it. If you don’t kill the Threshers, the side mission icon wouldn’t appear, and if you went to the area before you won’t get a call about it again. However, it remains accessible at any time and is still there after the story even if you went there before and ignored it.
Reach thresher nest
Head to the marker 75 meters to the north. Once you approach the cave entrance, the objective will update.
Collect thresher eggs 0/3
Head into the cave and defeat the 3 Badass Threshers, each of them drops one egg. Two are straight ahead, one is on the left in the upper cave. Collect the blue egg that each Badass Thresher drops.
Return to Mort
Bring the 3 eggs back to Mort who is on a farm near the lake where the quest started.
Give eggs to Mort
When you get close to Mort he will automatically request the eggs. Hand them over.
Collect mangler meat
Head to either mission marker to the north to find some Manglers. Simply take out a few Manglers and they will drop Mangler meat. Pick up any 3 pieces.
Return to farm
Head back to the farm to see Mort.
Place thresher food
Once back on the farm place the food in the giant food bowl for Daisy, the baby Thresher.
Subdue Daisy
Daisy will become hostile, attack her until she has a sliver of life left, then she will calm back down.
Perform a thresher mating call
Interact with the megaphone on the left side of the farm.
Kill wildhorns
Unfortunately your call attracted Wildhorns. Defeat them all. If this task doesn’t change after defeating them all then head off the farm and check if any Wildhorns ran away. Also check the radar at the top of the screen for their red icons.
Perform mating call, but mean it this time
Head back to the megaphone to fail miserably again at this.
Kill kratch
This time you have called in Kratch, take them all out. If the objective doesn’t update, check your radar at the top of the screen for the red enemy icons. Some of them spawn far away the mountain southwest from the farm.
Perform a mating call that unleashes your inner thresher
Head back to the megaphone and try again.
Subdue thresher
This time you need to attack Ivan the Thresher. Once you bring him down to a sliver of health, he will relax. Him and Daisy will disappear into the Hump Hut.
Set mood
Head to the jukebox in front of the Hump Hut and interact with it. The Threshers will do their thing and you will have completed this side mission.
This finishes Breeding Daisies side mission in Borderlands 4 and unlocks the next Side Mission Whack-A-Thresher.
