Starfield Into the Unknown walkthrough
To complete theInto the Unknownmission, you’ll want to complete the following objectives:

1. Talk to Vladimir

First up, the Starfield intergalactic travel for artifacts continues and this time you’ll be traveling toThe Eyeorbiting around Jemison,Alpha Centauri. Fly close and dock when prompted.
Upon arrival at The Eye, travel down the hallway following the blue locator to meet withVladimir Sall. He’ll inform you he has leads on two artifacts and will give you two planet locations to travel to. They vary depending on your game, so we will refer to them as the first and second planet.
Vladimir will also ask you tofind Andreja, a member of Constellation you haven’t met yet. She’ll appear on either planet, for us it was the second.
2. Go to the first planet
Fast travel in your main menu to the first planet. Here you’ll find an abandoned outpost. Again, it depends on which planet you’re on in relation to your playthrough as to what the location will be called. It also depends on the order you visit the planets to which artifact you’ll find there. You’ll need to visit both to progress any further regardless.
3. Find the artifact

For us, finding theartifact Zetawas first. At the abandoned outpost, you will descend through the map to find the rock with the artifact secured inside. We didn’t have to fight anyone to get there. You’ll need toequip your Cutterto cut away artifact Zeta from the rock before you can retrieve it for your inventory.
4. Go to the second planet

For our playthrough, the second planet wasPiazzi IV-Cwhere we found an abandoned mine. To reiterate once again, it depends what your planets are called as to what you’ll find there, but the process is the same.
5. Find Andreja

6. Find the artifact

Next, you’ll come across a computer that will allow you to recruit a robot companion. Listen carefully as if you activate the robot without following these steps, it will turn against you. Change theFriend/Foe settingto protect you.
There will be a series ofSpacersto fight, so take your time and use cover to eliminate them. Then you can advance down the system until you come across artifact Iota lodged in a rock. Again, equip your Cutter to remove it from the rock and add it to your inventory.
7. Add the artifacts to the collection

Matteo will be waiting to talk to you to ask you whether you believe more indreams or scienceinfluencing the universe.
If you pick dreams, Sarah, Andreja, and other members of Constellation will love that and increase your reputation with them. If you pick science, Matteo will love it and will increase your reputation with him. If you choose neither, you won’t gain reputation with anyone.
9. Talk to Vladimir
Into the Unknown continues here with another conversation with Vladimir. Alongside the artifacts, he wants you to investigate an anomaly onProcyon III.
10. Go to Procyon III

Fast travel to Procyon III in your main menu. Here you will want to land at the Scanner Anomaly Site and use the Cutter scanner to follow the distortions. The static distortions will lead you to the entrance ofTemple Eta.
11. Investigate the source of the anomaly

InsideTemple Eta, you will enter a puzzle. You will be given instructions on how to use float as you enter a field of zero gravity. There will be rings in front of you that will begin to spin as you enter the shining orb of light.

After the rings begin to spin, these shiny distortions will begin to appear in different parts of the Temple. You will need to float quickly through each orb to activate the next. The rings will begin to spin faster and you’ll need to float faster to get to them.

Eventually, the rings will stop and create aportalthat you will want to float through to trigger a cutscene. Here, you will gain your firstPower- the anti-gravity field.

14. Talk to Vladimir
To finish the mission, speak with Vladimir one last time and listen to his musings on whether there’s anomalies and temples for every artifact out there. He’ll reward you with a lovely9500 creditsfor all your hard work.
