Confronting Horace presents a unique airborne challenge in Borderlands 4’s roster of antagonists. This hovering combatant avoids close-quarters engagements while bombarding players with homing energy spheres and volleys of aerial projectiles. Strategic positioning becomes crucial as the fight progresses – utilizing cover effectively and mastering evasion techniques through timed dashes proves vital. Upon emerging victorious, combatants gain access to powerful gear including five exclusive legendary weapons.

This guide explores effective strategies for overcoming this aerial threat and details the unique arsenal obtainable through repeated engagements.

Horace’s Combat Zone Geography

Engagement with this aerial foe triggers during the ‘Down and Outbound’ campaign mission within Fadefields’ Hungering Plain district. Strategic preservation of weaker enemies allows players to utilize the Second Wind mechanic should they fall in combat. During phase transitions, Horace descends to unleash scythe projectiles – sidestepping these becomes critical using dash maneuvers mapped to controller face buttons or PC keyboard shortcuts.

Environmental awareness plays a key role – leverage obstacles for cover management while maintaining optimal engagement distances. The encounter becomes farmable post-victory via specialized vending technology for multiple legendary acquisition attempts.
