How to start the Olive Branch Starfield Mission

Nilesh from Olive Branch Starfield Mission

Olive Branch is one of the misc missions you can pick up at New Atlantis. To start it, locate and speak with Nilesh Sherazi in the MAST District. From the NAT, head straight forward. When you reach the outdoor area, continue straight ahead towards the giant tree. Nilesh can be found sitting on the cement bench to the left of the giant tree. Tell him you’re looking for work and he’ll request that you plant an Olive Seed for him in the hopes that it becomes a symbol of peace.

(Optional) Hand the Seed Over to the Guard

If you want to go this route, just find a guard in the area and hand this seed over to them. This will complete the mission, but you’ll get no rewards.

Plant the Olive Seed

The spot to plant the olive seed will be right behind where Nilesh is sitting across from a guard. Try planting the seed across from the guard and the guard will yell out to you. Talk with Nilesh and have him distract the guard. Once the guard’s back is turned you can stand behind him and plant the seed. Note, you might want to quicksave before asking Nilesh to cause a distraction as it might take a couple of tries to make sure both he and the guard are positioned correctly.

Talk with Nilesh again afterward to let him know the deed has been done. The Olive Branch mission will complete and you’ll be rewarded with 100 EXP and some credits.
