How to Start the Starfield Ghost Hunt Mission

Where to start the Starfield Ghost Hunt mission

To start this mission, you’ll first need to complete the Dead Stop mission by finding the missing worker. Once you’ve done that, Sloan from the Eleos Retreat will then ask you to help them track down the kidnapper which starts the mission.

Find the Kidnapper

Leave the Eleos Retreat compound heading east. After quite a trip you’ll find the Abandoned Outpost that Sloan mentioned hidden away on the top of a mountain. Head inside (being mindful of the mine guarding the entrance) then proceed through the building heading for the southeastern corner. If you want to make a detour, you can find a magazine in the office overlooking the room with all the crates.

You’ll also want to be on guard as you move through the facility as its heavily guarded by robots and turrets. When you finally reach the area with the objective marker, you’ll be in the Kidnapper’s quarters.

Search the Kidnapper’s Quarters for clues

In the kidnapper’s quarters, interact with the Science Crate and loot the Corrupted Slate. Before heading out, there is a locket door in there you can try to pick for some loot.

Return the Slate to the Retreat

Leave the Abandoned Outpost and travel back to the Eleos Retreat. Head inside and bring the slate to Sloan in the Infirmary.

Discuss your Fidnings with the Retreat Staff

Sloan will hand the slate over to Monika who will decrypt the message. We’ll then learn that there are two people causing issues on the retreat and they are from the Tracker Alliance. Sloan will then ask for you to help mediate between the two groups. This will complete the mission rewarding you with some credits and starting the Exorcism mission.
