How do you save both universes in the Starfield Entangled mission?In fact, you may not even be aware it’s possible to save both universes inStarfield- I sure wasn’t until I looked it up after already deciding on which one to save, sacrificing the other. So while you can pick one or the other, if you go to a little more effort, you’ll net some sweet rewards for saving both universes during theStarfieldEntangled mission.
To set the scene, Entangled is one of, if not the best mission in Starfield. It sees you jumping between different universes in a bid to save Rafael, an engineer who is stuck in one universe thanks to a reactor explosion, while his colleagues all died. Meanwhile, in the other universe, all his colleagues are alive and well, while they believe Rafael died in the labs they can no longer access. Here’s what you need to do to save both universes and net a legendary reward.

Make your way to the Lab Control Computer, which is on the second floor. You’ll need to flip realities a few times to access it in the surviving world though, as the path is blocked here. Whichever universe you are in, select the degaussing option.
The screen will say that some power interlocks require degaussing. Go to these switches and turn them off and then on again. Switch universes, then head back to the Lab Control Computer and repeat the process in the other reality. Check the computer in both universes to ensure you’ve done it correctly.

In the surviving world, select Frequency Calibration on the computer, then select 40GHz. In the doomed world, do the same, but select 24GHz. Next, find the Primary Calibration Control, which is next to the artifact at the other end of the room from the computer.
Congratulations! You have successfully saved both universes. Rafael will be reunited with the rest of the Nishina Research Station and you’ll receive the Nishina Spacesuit and Helmet for your troubles, along with a whopping 19,000 credits.
