Welcome to our walkthrough for the Matters of Hart mission in Starfield! Matters of Hart is a companion mission for Sam Coe. To start the mission, you’ll need to have raised Sam’s affection for you high enough by making choices that he likes. This in turn will lead to various conversations where he’ll eventually ask you to speak with him and Cora. Simply head to your ship to speak with the two of them together. Cora needs your help looking for her mom whom she believes is in trouble. Sam will be locked in your party after starting this mission until its completion.

Proceed to Neon
Travel to Neon on Volii Alpha in the Volii System then head to the Ranger Outpost and speak with Jaylen Pryce. Afterwards, head around the corner and enter through the door to reach Lillian’s desk. Interact with the Confidential Informant Financial Disclosure next to the computer. Next, speak with Sam to share what you found!
Look for Lillian’s Confidential Informant
Exit the building then head across the street to Ryujin Apartments. Take the elevator up then approach the door to trigger a cutscene. When it completes, investigate the apartment to find information about Lillian. Specifically, interact with Victor Compound text log on the floor near the desk.
Return to Sam and show him the slate.
Go to Victor Compound
Return to your ship then set sail for Victor Compound on McClure II in the McClure System. Approach Sam to trigger a cutscene. Afterwards, speak with Sam.
Find Lillian Hart
Approach the compound then take out all of the enemies. Once you’ve cleared the camp, head inside. There will be more enemies so take them out as you move through the compound! In the far back, you’ll find Lillian Hart.
Talk with Lillian Hart
Speak with her then return to your ship and speak with her again!
Get Cache Location from the Dumas
Travel to Rasalhague II in the Rasalhague System to find the Dumas and hail it upon your arrival. You’ll then need to engage in battle with the Level 34 ship. (Thankfully for us they did not fire back as we were a much lower level at the time!). After you reduce the shields and take out the engine, you’ll be able to board the ship. Take out the enemies inside then make your way up to the cockpit where you’ll be able to loot the Message to Dumas from the Captain’s Locker.
The location of the locker may be different in your playthrough.
Talk with Lillian Hart
Return to your ship and speak with Lillian.
Approach Valerie’s Cache on Andromas III
Travel to Andromas III in the Andromas System then land at Valerie’s Cache. Once there, head to the little cave and interact with the broken yellow box on the wall.
Defeat Valerie and the Syndicate Forces
Turn around to spot a ship landing. This will be the first of many! Take out all the enemy forces! Please note that there will be some level 32 enemies scattered in!
Speak with Everyone
After you’ve finally defeated all of the waves, speak with Lillian and then Sam. Afterwards, you’ll receive some EXP and credits!
Talk to Sam Coe near Solomon Coe’s statue in Akila City
Travel to Akila and speak with Sam behind the statue in front of the Rock. At this point, you’ll have the option to romance him! It’s completely your choice! Once you’ve made your decision, the Matters of Hart mission will end and you’ll receive the Explorer Adventure Hat!
