Walkthrough

After triggering the "Into the Unknown" mission, your first stop is The Eye, an orbital station around Jemison. Once docked, feel free to explore, although the station isn't large. Most notably, there's a magazine, "Peak Performance 01," located in a room to your right in the hallway marked FACILITIES F01. When you're ready, find Vladimir in the central room and engage in dialogue; your responses won't affect the mission's outcome.

Upon finishing your chat with Vladimir, head to the planet Tau Ceti VIII-B. Land at the marked location, Unexplored Geophysical Feature, and navigate around a large hill to an indicated cave entrance. Inside the cave, follow the mission marker through a series of tunnels, eventually leading you to a small chamber containing Artifact Zeta, which you'll need to blast out from its stone encasement.

With Artifact Zeta in tow, your next objective is to travel to the Olympus system, specifically to the planet Nesoi. Upon arrival, you'll be prompted to find Andreja at the Abandoned Mine. You'll find her fending off an enemy. After a brief conversation, she'll temporarily join your party as you delve deeper into the mine, facing numerous enemies along the way. To make your life easier, there's a computer down the first ramp that you can use to activate a robot ally to assist you. As you reach the second large chamber, fight your way through the foes at the ground level; you can either navigate down using the ramps or risk a shortcut by jumping off ledges near the non-operational elevator. Finally, in a subsequent cave, you'll find Artifact Iota.

With both artifacts acquired, Andreja will depart your party, and you need to head back to the Lodge. Unfortunately, there’s no quick exit due to the malfunctioning elevator, so backtrack up the ramps. Once at the Lodge, place the artifacts on a designated pedestal. Here, Matteo will automatically initiate a conversation; respond as you wish.

Now, return to Vladimir at The Eye. After your conversation, you'll also be able to add Andreja to your party. Vladimir will then direct you to a new location, Procyon III, situated in the Procyon A system. Land at Scanner Anomaly and follow audio glitches and distortions on your scanner to find the source. Once you find the right location, you'll uncover a large pillar structure, dubbed the Temple.

At the Temple, interact with a large door at ground level to enter a zero-gravity environment. Navigate through spinning projections that, when triggered, will charge a central ring. Enter the charged ring for a cutscene.

Upon exiting, return to the Lodge and engage with Vladimir one last time. He will ask for a demonstration of the "Anti-Gravity Field" ability you've just unlocked. Navigate to your Powers menu to equip it, then use it by pressing the designated buttons. After impressing Vladimir with your new power, speak to him again to wrap up this mission.

Tips and Tricks

  • You can optionally visit Vladimir's House as an Activity during this quest. If you go directly there, you will need to backtrack. You may want to wait until your ship is closer to that area to visit.
  • After talking to Vladimir, you can go to Procyon III or Piazzi IV-C in any order. In this walkthrough, we are visiting Procyon III first.
  • Some of these areas may not have been explored yet during your previous travels. Take the time to visit some of the locations before you get to your destination.
  • This mission is where you will have the option to recruit "Andreja" to be a companion.
  • Once you complete this mission, you'll open up the quest line "Power from Beyond" which will lead you to temples for Artifacts
  • If you are experiencing issues completing this mission:
    • We highly advise to do this Mission before doing Back to Vectera and Empty Nest.
    • Before loading the mission from your mission screen, unassign Sarah from your ship.
    • Revert to a save from before you attempted to start this mission.

Objectives

Talk to Vladimir

  • Walk straight towards the back of the station and talk to Vladimir Sall

  • Vladimir tells you that the data for where the Artifacts are takes a long time to arrive without a Grav Drive and that you need to check the leads in person. He also warns you that two other Constellation members, Andreja and Matteo are following up on scans as well.
  • Vladimir has given me locations he believes could hold Artifacts. He's also asked me to be on the lookout for Andreja, another Constellation member, who was following up on the same leads and hasn't reported back. 
    • He states that Andreja will be one of the two sites that he has marked on your starmap.
  • You can pick up the optional Activity of "Visit Vladimir's House" if you ask him about retiring from the Crimson Fleet.
  • Go back to your ship and undock from The Eye

Go to Porcyon III

  • If you haven't traveled to that area yet, you will need to Grav jump your way to the Procyon A marker.
