How to defeat Captain Haunt in Borderlands 3
Captain Haunt will scale to whatever level your Vault Hunter is currently at. This means that if you are level 41, so will Captain Haunt.
Captain Haunt will start the fight protected and will attack you using two different types of attacks. This includes shooting Jack o’ Lantern-type projectiles, which will create pools of lava where they land, and green bullets.
Dodge these green bullets.
Once the Captain loses his shield, he will begin to change his tactics.
He will begin using a new attack that involves summoning a collection of green ghosts to attack you. Be sure to take out these ghosts quickly or they can inflict the Terror debuff on you, affecting both your aim and vision.
Kill the ghosts or they will give you the terror debuff.
Several undead Maliwan soldiers will also begin to appear on the battlefield. You can get away with ignoring these troops and killing them only if you enter Fight for Your Life. Don’t waste time chasing them, because no matter how many you kill, more will start to appear on the battlefield.
Captain Haunt is hard to miss.
During this stage of the battle, Captain Haunt will also make himself invincible by creating a ghostly shield. During this period, you will not be able to damage him and his shield will begin to regenerate.
To end this invincibility, you must destroy the two Shield Phylacteries that appear on the map. These are small pillars with glowing balls of green energy floating above them.
A protective phylactery can be easily destroyed with bullets. Just be sure to jump or dodge the waves of green energy each protective phylactery sends out. These energy waves can easily take down both your shield and health.
Once the two Shielding Phylactery stands are destroyed, you will be able to continue attacking Captain Haunt.
Destroy the protective phylactery to end Captain Haunt’s invincibility.
You can attack Captain Haunt with any weapon, grenade, or action skill. The Captain is also a very large target, so even if you are infected with Terror, you should be able to hit him easily.
After killing Captain Haunt, you can collect your loot and then return to Maurice for a cash reward.
