Further Into the Unknown is one of the main Constellation missions in Starfield. On this page of the walkthrough, you can learn how to reach the location with artifacts, how to eliminate Starborn, elite enemies, and how to return to the Lodge with the acquired artifacts.

• Finding 2 artifacts
• Return with artifacts to the Lodge

Finding 2 artifacts

1. The quest starts in the Lodge in New Atlantis. Talk to Vladimir there. He will tell you where the two new artifacts are located. You can go get them in any order.
2. The locations containing both artifacts are random. Locate these places on the galaxy map and if they are distant or unexplored, then choose stops along the way to your destination. Alternatively, you can equip your ship with a better grav drive with an increased range.

1. You always have to land on a planet or moon in a place related to the quest. There you can encounter Ecliptic mercenaries or members of the Crimson Fleet. If you joined the pirate faction during the Rook Meets King quest, you can freely explore the outpost. Otherwise, the pirates will attack your team.
2. Look for the entrance to the caves. When you try to take the artifact, one of the Starborn will attack you. It's a strong enemy at level 30.
3. If you already have the Gravity Wave power, you can easily knock down the mini-boss and make him vulnerable to easy attacks. Otherwise, stay on the go and rely on covers. The fight is a close-range one so you can also use grenades or a shotgun. The defeated Starborn will leave behind quantum essence - you can use it in the power menu to speed up their regeneration for the next 60 seconds.
4. After each fight, break the rocks surrounding the artifact. This way you will be able to take it.

Return with artifacts to the Lodge

1. Once you have both artifacts, return to the Lodge to add them to your collection. You also need to talk to Matteo and Vladimir. You will receive XP, 10,200 credits and 3 first aid kits.
