Borderlands 4: Don’t Trust the Beam — Find the Waterstop Evocarium’s Hidden Third Orb
The Waterstop Evocarium in Borderlands 4 is a small, early puzzle that hides one of its three orbs a little more cleverly than the others. In short: two spheres sit on nearby rooftops, and the third is tucked under the same structure — not on the building the beam points to. Below you’ll find the location and a clear, step-by-step way to pick up all three orbs.
Waterstop Evocarium location in Borderlands 4
The Evocarium sits at the Waterstop point of interest, which is east of your first base and northeast of the Splashzone boss arena. It’s a compact facility with elevated walkways and plenty of Timekeeper minions patrolling the area.
First, clear the enemies or approach carefully using cover. The northern walkways give foes a good view, so take your time. Then, go to the small central bridge and scan the Evocarium terminal to see rough directions for the three orbs.
Where to find Waterstop Evocarium’s orbs in Borderlands 4
Two of the orbs are visible on rooftops near the terminal. Climb up using a grappling anchor if needed, and grab the first orb you can see from the terminal. After that, look back toward the area you came from and you’ll spot the second orb across the rooftops.
Then, use your glide pack to traverse the roofline and collect the second orb. The beam of light that points to the third sphere is misleading: it appears to target an inaccessible building, but the actual third orb is under the structure where you picked up the first orb.
Finally, return to the terminal and scan it once more after you have all three. You’ll unlock an audio message — that message is the only reward for this Evocarium right now. In short, there’s no extra loot tied to this puzzle beyond the recording.
