This is all in the service of House Dul’kehf, who want you to act on some secret information they’ve got regarding Vortex Interlocks – devices that were integral to the House Va’ruun cataclysm. At times this can be an especially tough errand to run inStarfield Shattered Spaceas you’ve got to scour the dam and read through all sorts of terminal for clues. To make the mission clear, this walkthrough for the Exhuming The Past Starfield mission explains the major sticking points, including what the experiment code is and how the final choice works. How to access the dam in Starfield Exhuming The Past (Image credit: Xbox Game Studios) Once you reach Ma’leen Damn a way off from Dazra, you’ll find you must have a specific keycard to open the main secure access door into the dam. And how do you get the dam keycard for thisStarfieldmission? A conveniently placed child, of course. Explore the exterior gantry and you should eventuallyfind a kid called Comrak Abbas– speak to him and he’ll direct you to aman called Kaviil who resides in the Abbas Seaweed Farmin front of the dam.

However you get the keycard, head back to the ID card reader next to the dam’s secure access door to get inside. Then, keep moving through Ma’leen Dam until you find a large, flooded room full of pipes. How to drain the water in Starfield Exhuming The Past (Image credit: Xbox Game Studios) (Image credit: Xbox Game Studios) (Image credit: Xbox Game Studios) As you go further into the dam, you’ll find a Vortex Phantom called Karija Ma’leen who insists that you leave and then fights you. Defeat them and carry on until you reach a door that requires a keycard to get through, at which point you’ll be prompted to “complete the teleportation experiment”. Starfield Exhuming The Past experiment code (Image credit: Xbox Game Studios) Use the keycard on the door and press on, then you’ll eventually run into Karija and another phantom called Vedrasa – you need to defeat both of them to safely get on with the next step which is to grab a Vortex Interlock from the console, but you can’t do this without diverting the dam’s power first. How to divert power to the Interlock Console in Starfield Exhuming The Past (Image credit: Xbox Game Studios) For this step, you need tohead through a door opposite the Interlock Console into some pipe-filled corridors that eventually lead down some steps to a seemingly dead endwith a bunch of crates stacked up. You can spot ared emergency cuttable wallabove the crates, so shoot the pins to bring down the wall and open the way to the next room – make sure you save here too! (Image credit: Xbox Game Studios) In this room, you need toshoot another modulatorjust like before, but almost as soon as you walk in, you’ll be forced into a conversation, and then a fight, with three phantoms – Karija, Vedrasa, and new guy Draqir. You can defeat them and then just shoot the modulator and head back to the Interlock Console, but I was able to get into the room and stay far enough back that I was not forced to talk to the phantoms, letting me snipe the modulator and avoid the fight – this might not work for everyone but it’s worth trying. Starfield Exhuming The Past remove the remaining Interlock or exit the dam choice (Image credit: Xbox Game Studios) Back at the Interlock Console, you just need to press the three control levers and grab the Vortex Interlock. However, when you do this, you’ll be forced into another conversation with Karija, who tells you that you just killed Vedrasa because the Vortex Interlocks are actually powering the pods for the phantoms and the entire dam – oopsie! The choice ahead of you is to eitherremove the second interlock, killing the phantoms and “dooming the farmers on the surface”, or justescape the dam with only one Vortex Interlock, but you must make your decision while an invincible Karija is trying to kill you. Your choice here has no real impacton the rewards (350 XP, Credits, and a Va’ruun Penumbra – one of thenew Shattered Space weapons) for telling Ekris about the Vortex Interlocks back in Dazra, and there are no bonuses for bringing him a second one. However, if you do take the second Interlock the seaweed farm you visited earlier will now be flooded, which also has no overall effect aside from maybe making you feel a bit sad. (Image credit: Xbox Game Studios) And with that, you will have completed the Starfield Exhuming The Past mission, which is part of the Shattered Space questline where you need to unite the houses. As part of that, you’ll also need to complete theStarfield Conflict in ConvictionandStarfield Zealous Overreachmissions too.© GamesRadar+. Not to be reproduced without permission.
