Lucky for you, that’s where we come in.

We’ve broken down the ending of Borderlands, and have answered your burning questions.
What happens at the end of Borderlands?
Tina steps on the entrance, expecting the Vault to open.

When it doesn’t, the team realizes that Tina is not the Daughter of Eridia after all.
Atlas and his soldiers suddenly appear, having witnessed the entire thing.
Roland appears, guns ablazing.

Deeming Tina useless, Atlas orders Knoxx to kill Tina and commands his soldiers to attack.
Knoxx has a change of heart and tells the soldiers to stand down, but Atlas immediately vaporizes her.
Lilith is lifted into the air and her body begins to burn up but she doesn’t die.

She sprouts some pretty cool wings made of fire and is able to fly.
Atlas takes Tina hostage and demands Lilith take him into the Vault.
A portal suddenly appears under the archway, and the three walk on through.

Lilith sneaks up behind him and steals the equipment that creates his protective forcefield and activates his weapons.
We cut to the group standing on a rooftop and watching fireworks as the whole planet celebrates.
What does Lilith turn into?

Lilith is the Daughter of Eridia.
Much like her video game counterpart, she is also the goddess known as the Fire Hawk.
The Fire Hawk is the Eridian goddess whose purpose is to protect the planet of Pandora.

When Lilith first touches down on Pandora, Claptrap appears and tells her he was tasked to help her.
What’s in the Vault?
The Vault is filled with rock formations that are swirling with bright blue energy.

Does the ending set up a sequel?
The film ends with Lilith setting herself ablaze and flying through the sky.
Borderlands is in theaters now.
