To take action, you will need to first select two of the 4 Starfield Shattered Space effigies, however after that, you may be tasked with talking to the leaders of the three homes that make up Home Va’ruun as a part of the ‚Aligning the Homes‘ quest in Starfield Shattered Space.
Approaching Home Veth’aal introduces you to Viktor, who explains his son has gone lacking. Here is a full walkthrough for the Starfield Battle in Conviction quest, the place to seek out Vaeric, and the completely different outcomes for the choice you will need to make on the finish about whether or not to kill him, spare him, or convey him dwelling.
The place to seek out Vaeric in Starfield
When you be taught of Vaeric’s disappearance from Viktor Veth’aal, you will need to go to Herald’s Relaxation, the bar in Dazra, to query Vaeric’s buddies about his whereabouts. There, you may discover three named NPCs with goal markers above their heads. For those who can go a persuasion verify with any of them, they will let you know to attend for a chap named Tane Salavea… or, even in the event you do not go the persuasion checks, simply grasp round on the bar and Tane will ultimately rock up.
Converse with Tane and he’ll reveal he has a tracker on Vaeric so he is aware of his location. It’s possible you’ll must pay 1,000 credit to be taught the situation – we weren’t given a persuasion possibility or ability verify for this, so paying up was the one alternative – however as soon as Tane provides you the gadget, you possibly can head northwest of Dazra to the highlands.
Discovering the precise location of the tracker is hard because the terrain is so mountainous, therefore the title the ‚highlands‘. The precise location it’s essential head to is marked on the map within the picture above.
look at the Deserted camp
Vaeric is nowhere to be seen while you attain the Deserted Camp, so it’s essential examine. It is price noting that our quest bugged at this stage: a number of of the issues it’s essential search with did not present up and could not be interacted with, so if this occurs to you, reload your save or restart the sport to repair the difficulty.
There are 4 issues to look in whole:
- Tracker (on the crate subsequent to the mattress)
- Bloodstain (on the far finish on the rocks beneath the tarpaulin, subsequent to a crate with a mug on)
- Vortex Spawn corpse (subsequent to a darkened patch of grime and an open white crate subsequent to a blue dustpan)
- Footprints (proper subsequent to the Vortex Spawn corpse – that is what would not present up for us)
Upon inspecting the ultimate space, two Foul Vortex Horrors will spawn. These are fairly a excessive degree – they had been degree 49 for us – so in the event you’re struggling, be able to put far between you and them as quickly as they seem. So long as they do not get inside melee vary, they do not deal as a lot injury, although Tane will doubtless be knocked down fairly rapidly.
Once they’re useless, head to the following goal marker down the trail to find out the place Vaeric went. This subsequent part of the search has goal markers all the way in which although, so we cannot go into an excessive amount of element – you may ultimately come upon Irina’s Farm, an enclosure with just a few employee bots and a few farmers standing within the doorway.
Ask Irina about Vaeric and he or she’ll deny any information of his whereabouts, however you possibly can push her by both paying 1,000 credit, passing a drugs ability verify, threatening her, or wanting round her farm for clues.
The end result is similar: you may uncover he went to an deserted farm to the north. The placement is marked on the map right here:
Must you kill, spare, or convey Vaeric to Viktor?
Enter the Apostate’s Refuge and search the constructing the place the target marker signifies. There are two issues it’s essential discover:
- Vaeric’s laptop (on the desk within the hallway earlier than you attain the bed room)
- Vaeric’s log (on the desk in entrance of the couch upstairs)
Work together and browse each, then go outdoors and communicate to Tane. Vaeric will present up, interrupting your dialog. Hear him out and you’ve got three choices:
Persuade Vaeric to come back with you again to Home Veth’aal
For those who go the persuasion verify, Vaeric will return to the Hold with you and speak to Viktor. He’ll apologise, Viktor will settle for the apology, no one has to die, and you will obtain 1,000 credit after talking with Viktor. Vaeric is not happy as he needed to return dwelling, however hey, everybody’s alive.
Kill Vaeric
For those who resolve to kill Vaeric (and by affiliation, Tane, as anybody aiding and abetting Vaeric ought to die in response to Viktor) you will need to loot the Home Veth’aal Signet Ring from his physique earlier than returning to Viktor. Vitoria and Luthor, the 2 different Veth’aal relations, can be deeply upset, however Viktor can be happy the duty has been accomplished and you will nonetheless earn 1,000 credit and XP. Nevertheless, if Tane lives, he will be recruited as a crew member after the search has been accomplished, so killing him is not really helpful.
Spare Vaeric
That is arguably one of the best end result as a result of Vaeric will get what he desires – to dwell freed from Home Veth’aal – and you may nonetheless give Viktor the Signet Ring in the event you inform Vaeric handy it over, so Viktor will suppose his son is useless. Once more, this rewards you with 1,000 credit and the power to recruit Tane afterwards, however there are a few secrets and techniques with this alternative.
The primary is that you may push Vaeric for more cash and he’ll truly provide you with 10,000 credit alongside his Signet Ring to spare his life, making this feature rather more invaluable. After returning to Viktor and mendacity to him that Vaeric is useless, Vitoria and Luthor can be upset, however you could find Vitoria on a balcony and inform her the key that Vaeric continues to be alive. You do not obtain something further for this, however it’s a pleasant ending after she cared a lot about his properly being.
As soon as the search has completed, head to Herald’s Relaxation to seek out Tane and recruit him to your ship. Ensure you additionally learn up on our information to the Starfield Shattered Space Exhuming the Past quest, which requires a code and a few extra determination making.
