How to get Undead Eye in BL4: Reach Vile Lictor and farm

Step 1: Ensure story progression

Complete the His Vile Sanctum mission to unlock access to the Vile Lictor. Without this, you won’t be able to encounter the boss.

Step 2: Travel to Terminus Range → Umbral Foundry

Fast travel to the Terminus Range and make your way into the Umbral Foundry. This is where the Vile Lictor resides.

Step 3: Locate Vile Lictor’s arena

Head through the Umbral Foundry until you reach the boss arena. Keep an eye on the pathways and hazards that lead up to the fight.

Step 4: Prepare your loadout

Equip strong sniper rifles, gear that enhances critical hit chance, and shields with good survivability. These will give you an edge in the fight and improve your farming efficiency.

Step 5: Defeat and farm Vile Lictor

Fight and defeat Vile Lictor. Check the loot pool after every attempt.

Step 6: Repeat the fight

Use the Moxxi Encore machine to rerun the fight. Since the Undead Eye isn’t guaranteed, expect to run the encounter multiple times.

Tips to fight the Vile Lictor boss in BL4

  • Prepare by equipping weapons with high burst damage and elemental types effective against the boss (shock and corrosive work well).
  • Clear the surrounding area to avoid interruptions during the boss fight.
  • Use cover and maintain mobility to dodge attacks, as the boss uses ranged and melee assaults.
  • Attack the weak points revealed during certain boss attack animations to maximize damage.
  • Use skill combos of the Vex character to exploit weaknesses and manage survivability.

Is Undead Eye farming worth it?

Farming the Undead Eye class mod requires unlocking access to the Vile Lictor boss in Terminus Range, Windspear. It is a must-have for Vex players who want to lean into sniper rifles and crit-heavy builds. Farming Vile Lictor can take patience, but once you secure this mod, it unlocks high-damage potential and smooth kill chains that make sniper play far more rewarding.
