Borderlands 3 (BL3) has 43 Named Locations in Promethea. This guide shows all of them for each zone on Planet: Promethea. This unlocks the City Slicker trophy or achievement.
None of the named locations are missable! You can still discover all of them after the story in free-roam. You can go back to all relevant places during the endgame.
To keep track of your progress, open the map and hit the L3 / Left Stick. You can check this map by map or if you zoom out to the planet map select you can see the total progress on that planet.
Simply step into every named location, you just need to stand in the right spot. When you find something new it always says “Area Discovered” with the location name in the middle of the screen. There is no need to uncover (turn blue) the whole map, you just need to stand in the specific spots to register them.
It’s best to keep the locations for last and do all side missions first. The reason being that certain areas are locked behind specific side missions. After having done every main- and side mission in the game you will be able to access all places. Until then some named areas are unreachable.
The guide below lists the Zones in the same order as Promethea’s fast travel select. If you haven’t unlocked a zone yet you must advance further in the story.
- Meridian Outskirts: 3
- Meridian Metroplex: 6
- Lectra City: 8
- Neon Arterial: 6
- The Forgotten Basilica: 2
- Atlas HQ: 9

- Cistern of Slaughter: 1
The Purple Marker in the images shows the exact spot.

Pixelarian says
I just did all locations, being the Restricted Catacombs the last one, but I did not get the ‘Area discovered’ although it says I now have 6/6 locations and the trophy is not popping. I have all locations discovered in all the worlds so I guess this one is the problematic?
Pixelarian says
For the record, I went again all the way to the Restricted Catacombs and now it says Entering Area, but neither the Promethea locations trophy nor All Locations trophy pop up. I got 223/223 locations
Matt1yu says
I’ve been through all 6 Neon Arterial locations over and over again, but my counter still says 5/6… doesn’t seem like patch 1.05 has fixed much.
Estherella says
Same :/
KRPZ says
Got same issue on Promethea. Trophy triggered when I went to the ‘Cistern of slaughter’ location.
Blade29demon says
Guys ive figured how to get past the glitch, basically with the new update everything get reset every time you restart the game, especially all the locations, the work around i found was…
1. Go offline
2. In a single sitting revist every location in a particular planet, for eg. you need to go to every area Pandora and be in the vicinity of the location like the how the guide mentions and see if it says “Area Discovered” almost all locations expect the ones on Covenant Pass seem to be affected…It took me hardly 25 min to finish the whole of pandora and for all locations discovered trophy you need to revisit all of the locations without exiting the game…Got all the location trophies doing this after this update… hope it helps?
Lucas says

Dr2red says
We have followed your guide and covered everthing. We still show as not completed. Playing on ps4 how do we see the numbers for completion of an area?
Lawrence says

Aaron says
