If you manage it, you’ll get a special cosmetic for your vehicle (the Afterparty cosmetic). Below is a step-by-step guide to finding and solving it, plus tips and caveats.

Where to find the 'The Eminent Husk' challenge

The Eminent Husk Ancient Crawler is located in the southeast corner of Idolator’s Noose in The Fadefields region. Once reaching this notorious, Ripper-occupied area, look for a truck near the crawler structure—this marks your starting point for the quest.

Key items and enemy threats in The Eminent Husk

You will immediately notice a blue-marked battery, also referred to as a power core, situated on or near a truck. Ripper enemies may patrol nearby, so eliminate threats before interacting with quest items. Storage Deck Upgrades and the coveted Afterparty vehicle paintjob are up for grabs once the crawler is finished.

How to complete 'The Eminent Husk' Step by step guide]

Follow these precise steps to complete the challenge efficiently:

Step 1

Locate the battery or power core near the base of The Eminent Husk (by the truck) and pick it up.

Step 2

Climb onto the truck's roof and then double jump to reach the nearby scaffolding or platform.

Step 3

Throw or place the battery onto the main platform of the crawler—aim carefully to ensure it lands securely.

Step 4

Climb the scaffolding and follow the path upward, using double jumps and mantling to reach higher ledges.

Step 5

Deposit the battery into the clearly marked slot/clamps to activate the crawler, powering it up for access to the next area or loot.

Step 6

Continue ascending using the left-side wall, climb up using grapples or nearby ledges, and reach the very top of the structure.

Step 7

At the summit, look for a hatch or compartment. Use your grapple to open it—inside is the Afterparty vehicle cosmetic, which you can now equip and enjoy.

The Eminent Husk stands out as a moderate yet satisfying platforming and combat challenge in Borderlands 4. Efficient item handling and sharp platforming skills are the keys to both the Afterparty vehicle cosmetic and progress toward Storage Deck Upgrades. Approach the mission prepared for resistance, and use every jump and grapple at your disposal for a triumphant finish.
