In this section of the Starfield Walkthrough you'll find a complete guide to In Their Footsteps, the thirteenth mission of the main story. With knowledge of the Unity, it's time to face The Hunter.

In Their Footsteps Walkthrough

Hail the Scorpius

Speak to The Hunter and tell him that Keeper Aquilus sent you to find out more about The Unity. The Hunter will welcome you onboard, where Helix, who you encountered earlier on in the game, is always waiting to talk to you.

Dock with the Scorpius

Dock with the Scorpius and head inside to have a meeting with Helix and The Hunter.

Talk to The Hunter

Approach The Hunter and you'll find out that the Helix is The Emissary. You can talk to The Hunter and The Emissary about attacking The Lodge and The Eye, and more about the Artifacts.

Through the conversation, The Emissary will be revealed Tap to Reveal. Meanwhile, The HunterTap to Reveal

Optional Objective: Talk to The Emissary
Optional Objective: Talk to The Hunter

Talk to the Emissary

Once you've spoken to The Hunter and had the optional conversations with both The Emissary and The Hunter to learn more about their identities, the Starborn, and Unity, you can talk to The Emissary again. They will tell you that they want to go and learn how dangerous the Artifacts are, leading to another quest.

Leave the Scorpius

At this stage, you will have been given two quests to go and complete in order to understand the true power of the Artifacts and the nature of Unity. These are:

  • Unearthed
  • Final Glimpses

We recommend starting with Unearthed first, but Final Glimpses asks you to go back to The Lodge, so we'd suggest having a trip there before anything else.
