Talk to Vladimir

After starting this mission, your first requirement is to talk to Vladimir. He’s located at The Eye, a station orbiting Jemison. You can move there manually or target it through the Missions menu.

Once there, approach the station and dock. You can explore the station a bit before you speak with Vladimir, though it isn’t very big. The most notable item is the magazine Peak Performance 01 which can be found in the first room on the right, going through the hallway marked FACILITIES F01.

When you’re ready to continue, speak with Vladimir in the central room, and respond however you like.

Go to Tau Ceti VIII-B

You receive a few objectives at once here which you can tackle in any order. For efficiency, make your way to Tau Ceti first.

Find the Artifact on Tau Ceti VIII-B

When you arrive at the planet, open the map and choose to land at the marked location Unexplored Geophysical Feature.

Make your way around the large hill to where an entrance to a cave will be marked.

In the cave, drop down and follow the objective a short distance through the tunnels. This will lead to a small cave similar to what you found before, where you can blast out and pick up Artifact Zeta.

Go to Nesoi

Now with this artifact in hand, you can continue exploring or continue the mission. When you’re ready, head to the system Olympus where Nesoi is located.

Find Andreja

When you arrive your first objective will actually be to find Andreja, which will be complete while working towards the artifact. On Nesoi land at the marked location Abandoned Mine. Head towards the above-ground structure of the mine, and enter through the marked door.

Find the Artifact on Nesoi

When you enter, Andreja is busy taking out an enemy, then will automatically talk to you. Respond how you like, then she’ll temporarily join your party while you search for the artifact. Head down into the tunnel, and be wary that you’ll be dealing with a number of enemies along the way. If you want some help in the first room, there is a computer down the first ramp which allows you to activate a robot that will help clear out enemies.

When you reach the second large room, you’re going to need to make your way down to ground level to defeat all of the enemies. You can do this either by following the paths and ramps around the outside of the room or carefully jumping down the ledges underneath the non-functional elevator near where you enter.

Once all the enemies are dealt with, follow the path into a nearby cave where you can find Artifact Iota.

Add the Artifacts to the collection

After you have the typical vision with the artifact, Andreja will speak with you and leave the party. You now need to make your way back to the Lodge to place the new artifacts. There isn’t an easy way out of the mine (due to the none functioning elevator) so you need to follow the path back up the ramps. Make sure to search for loot as you go, then you can explore more around the planet or head directly back to the Lodge and interact with the pedestal again to place the two new artifacts.

Talk to Matteo

After the artifacts are placed you’ll automatically speak with Matteo, and answer how you like.

Talk to Vladimir

You now need to head back to the Eye once more to speak with Vladimir again. You’ll also now have access to Andreja as a party member, who you can swap in or leave behind.

Go to Procyon III

Once you speak with Vladimir he marks a new location for you to search. Head to Procyon A where Procyon III is located.

Land at the Scanner Anomaly

Once you arrive, view the planet map and select the Scanner Anomaly location to land at it.

Follow distortions on the Scanner

When you are on foot, you’ll be prompted to pull out your scanner and use it to find the source of the anomaly. This is done by moving in the direction where your scanner has audio glitches and the circular ring distorts. Don’t be fooled by the location markers called “Anomaly” you can scan from right near your ship, these aren’t the correct location. When you’re going in the right direction the distortions should continually occur, and you’ll eventually see a location marker you can scan which will turn into Temple on the large pillar structure you may have been able to see from near your ship.

Investigate the source of the anomaly

Follow the objective marker toward the temple. On ground level on one side, you can find a large door that you can interact with to enter.

Inside the temple is zero gravity, so you float in whatever direction you are aiming, then can move up and down using  or  / [Space] or [Left Ctrl]. You need to continually float into the spinning circular projections, which will eventually charge the center ring in the area, which you can enter for a scene.

Return to the Lodge

After you’re back outside, you can head back to your ship and return to the Lodge to report your findings.

Use “Anti-Gravity Field” in front of Vladimir

Vladimir will ask for a demonstration of the power you obtained. Make sure you’ve entered the Powers menu and selected Anti-Gravity Field. Once it’s selected, you can then use your current power by pressing  +  / [Z]. Don’t worry about damaging anything or anyone in the Lodge when you do this.

 

Talk to Vladimir

Speak to Vladimir again after demonstrating the power to complete this mission.

This finishes Into the Unknown in Starfield.
