Borderlands 4 Genone Boss Location on Map

You can find Genone below an area known as The Yawning Yard, located in the Lopside region of Carcadia Burn. To access this boss, you will need to enter the former Order facility located beneath The Yawning Yard by using the entrance situated on the cliffside’s western edge, as indicated in the map above.

Genone serves as the final boss in the mission titled “Fault Hunting.”This mission can be initiated by interacting with the bulletin board in Carcadia (assuming you have restored power to the area) or by speaking with Leopold at the Society for Amateur Seismology Enthusiasts.

Once you begin the quest, you’ll be guided to the facility where Genone awaits your challenge. This mission also leads you near some Carcadia Burn Vault Key Fragments.

Upon defeating Genone, you’ll have the option to use Moxxi’s Big Encore machine located at the battle’s entrance, allowing you to replay the boss fight for further loot farming opportunities.
