Each of the secret raid bosses in the Chaos Chamber can be unlocked by doing a puzzle. Once the puzzle is finished and the regular Chaos Chamber boss is defeated, a red portal will open, leading to the secret boss' room.

Here's how to identify and complete the Tiny Tina's Wonderlands puzzle for Barkenstein:

• Finish the main story and enter the post-game
• Begin a run through the Chaos Chamber
• Search for a green rune that may appear in any room of the Chaos Chamber
• Interact with the green rune, and the puzzle will begin
• The rune will jet across the room
• Follow it to where it hits the ground and wait for a mushroom to sprout
• Jump on the mushroom and watch the balls fly into the air
• Shoot the glowing ball and each ball that glows after until they are gone
• Repeat the above step three times
• Once all three waves of glowing orbs are shot, the puzzle is complete
• Finish the Chaos Chamber run and enter the red portal at the end to face Barkenstein

It is important to note that the green rune can appear anywhere in the Chaos Chamber. Make sure to search each location thoroughly before teleporting to another area, or the rune may not be spotted.

Barkenstein has vertical and horizontal attacks. The former can be dodged by strafing, and the latter can be avoided by jumping. Orbs will glow on this Tiny Tina's Wonderlands boss who can be shot to stagger it, opening it up for an assault.
