How to Start the Electroshock Therapy Side Quest in Borderlands 4

The Electroshock Therapy Side Mission is not available right at the start of the game. You will need to progress through the main story until you gain access to the Idolator’s Noose region within the larger Fadefields zone. This area becomes accessible after you complete several key campaign missions in the Fadefields.

Prof. Ambreleigh is located in the Idolator’s Noose region. Her workshop, named the “Nut N’ Bolt,” is situated directly below the Someday Rise safe house. Once you discover and activate this safe house, finding her becomes much easier, as you can fast-travel to this location at any time.

Step-by-Step Location Guide:

1. Travel to the Idolator’s Noose region in the Fadefields.
2. Locate the Someday Rise safe house. It is a fast-travel point that will appear on your map as you explore the area.
3. From the Someday Rise safe house, drop down to the ground level directly beneath it.
4. You will find the entrance to the Nut N’ Bolt workshop. Head inside to find Prof. Ambreleigh.

When you first encounter her, she will be surrounded by her strange machinery, exhibiting spastic and erratic behavior. Approach her, and a side mission marker will appear above her head, signaling that you can begin the quest.

How to Start the “Electroshock Therapy” Quest

Starting the quest is as simple as speaking with the professor. Interact with Prof. Ambreleigh to initiate a conversation. Through her fragmented and high-energy dialogue, she will explain her ambitious goal: to create a cure for Ripper Madness, the psychotic condition that affects those who have forcibly removed their behavioral bolts.

Her plan requires your help in gathering a few key components for her experiment. Accepting the mission will add “Electroshock Therapy” to your quest log and mark the first set of objectives on your map.

Your initial tasks will be:

• Collect an Ordonite sample.
• Collect an Eridium sample.

The quest log and your map will guide you to the specific locations within the Fadefields where these samples can be found.

Preparing for the Quest

The Electroshock Therapy Side Mission in Borderlands 4 involves both fetch-quest elements and combat encounters. While the initial steps are straightforward, you will be traveling through areas patrolled by both Children of the Order and Ripper gangs.

Here are a few tips to prepare:

• Level Check: Ensure your character’s level is appropriate for the Idolator’s Noose region. If you are under-leveled, you may struggle with the enemies you encounter along the way.
• Stock Up on Ammo: Before leaving the safe house, visit the vending machines to replenish your ammunition and health.
• Vehicle Ready: The locations for the Ordonite and Eridium samples are a fair distance from the workshop. Having a vehicle ready will make the traversal much faster and more efficient.

By following these simple steps, you can easily find Prof. Ambreleigh and begin one of the most memorable side quests in the Fadefields. Her chaotic energy and the explosive results of her experiments are a perfect example of what makes the side content in Borderlands 4 so engaging.
