Borderlands 3 Pumpkin Puzzle – How to solve the coloured skulls and glowing pumpkins

The pumpkin puzzle is an optional part of Bloody Harvest: Descent into Heck, the Halloween quest in Borderlands 3.

On your journey through The Heck Hole, you will come across a room containing a set of four colored pumpkins and, beyond them, a set of colored skull switches.

Solving this puzzle will reward you with a good amount of cash and some loot, so it’s definitely worth your time.

How to solve the pumpkin puzzle in Borderlands 3

During your journey through Heck, you will visit a room that has been infested with Ratch.

This is the room where you will find the pumpkin puzzle and after you have killed all the Ratch you can complete it.

Here you’ll find four pumpkins, each glowing a different color, and in the small room beyond, there are four colored skulls to use.

Standing at the bottom of the stairs, from left to right, notice the color of the pumpkins.

Starting with the pumpkin on the far left, when you are at the bottom of the stairs, you must hit the skull switches according to the color the pumpkins glow. For example, if the leftmost pumpkin glows blue, then you should hit the blue skull switch.

Look at the color of the pumpkins in this order.

It’s a good idea to check what the next pumpkin color is before hitting each switch, because there is a chance this color will change. Colors can also repeat, so don’t be surprised if you hit the same switch multiple times.

Oh, and don’t fall down the hole in the middle of the room either.

How to reset the pumpkin puzzle in Borderlands 3

If someone laughs after removing one of the skulls, it’s a sign that you’ve made a mistake. If this happens, simply fast travel back to Sanctuary III and from there, return to Heck.

Return to Shrine III to reset the puzzle.

The enemies you fought will have respawned, but the puzzle will have reset, giving you another try without having to replay the entire mission.
