Welcome to our walkthrough for the Into the Unknown mission in Starfield! Into the Unknown is one of the main missions you’ll need to complete to beat the game. To start it, simply complete The Old Neighborhood main mission.
Talk to Vladimir
Travel to the Eye space station orbiting Jemison in the Alpha Centauri System and dock there.
After you board the ship, follow the path forward to Scanning Control where you’ll find Vladimir. Speak with him to get your nickname! You’ll also get a couple of new objectives. On this ship, you can find the Peak Performance 01 in the workout room in the Facilities F01 wing.
Find Andreja & the Artifact
Open your mission and make it active then travel to the planet it shows as it is randomly chosen. Once there, land at the Abandoned Mine. Exit your ship and follow the objective marker to reach an abandoned mine.
Before going into the Deep Cave, check out the small room nearby (with a mine near the entrance) to find the Mining Monthly Issue 01 magazine inside.
As soon as you enter, you’ll be greeted by Andreja. After introductions, continue to follow the path further into the cave. Near where you first meet Andreja, you’ll find a computer where you can reprogram a robot to follow and protect you. You may need it as the way forward is swarming with Ecliptics. When you reach the depths of the cave, you’ll find the artifact. Use a cutter to break it free then snag it.
Go to Piazzi I
To reach Piazzi I, you’ll need to travel to the Piazzi System northwest of Alpha Centauri. Once there, land at the Hillside Cave on Piazzi I.
Find the Artifact on Piazzi I
After disembarking from the ship, start heading southeast towards the objective maker. This will eventually bring you to a cavern you’ll want to enter.
Inside the cavern, keep descending heading deeper into it until you reach the artifact. You’ll then need to use a cutter or something to free the artifact so you can collect it. Keep an eye out for the few turrets scattered around in the cave.
Add the Artifacts to the Collection
Now that you have two more artifacts, take them back to the Lodge and add them to the table in the Library. After a scene with the group, head back up to the Eye to speak with Vladimir. He’ll say that he found a large anomaly matching the signatures of the artifacts and send you to Procyon III.
Go to Procyon III
Head back to your ship and set a course for the Procyon A System northwest of Alpha Centauri. From there, you can travel to Procyon III and land at the Scanner Anomaly. After disembarking from your ship, you’ll need to open your scanner and use it to track the anomaly. This means that the circle you normally see on the scanner will have pulsating wiggle lines indicating an anomaly in that direction. You’ll need to follow this until the whole thing is pulsating, pointing you towards a mysterious structure.
When you reach the structure, it will be revealed to be the temple. Head inside to find a device matching the artifacts on the table in the Lodge’s library. This is also the start of a puzzle. There will be a diamond-shaped object that looks similar to the cosmos (shown in the picture below).
You’ll need to pass through it multiple times as it moves round the room until the rings in the center of the room stops spinning. After you’ve accomplished this, head to the center of the ring to be granted magic space powers.
Return to Lodge
Exit the temple and return to your ship then fly back to the Lodge in New Atlantis. Head into the library and approach the members of Constellation to trigger a cutscene during which Vladimir will request you demonstrate your new power to them. Do so then speak with him afterwards to complete the mission. You’ll be rewarded with 400 EXP, credits and 3 med packs.
