Starborn

Starborn is a mission you can find and complete in Starfield.

Starborn
XP Reward 300

Starborn overview

Starborn is a Starfield Main quest. Like all other Starfield missions, you can find the full details of Starborn in your mission log, and you can easily find your next objective location by following the quest marker, or by entering the scanner mode and following Starfield’s breadcrumb trail.

Starborn is preceded by All that Money Can Buy, and followed by Further Into the Unknown.

Having retrieved an Artifact, an unknown and unidentified presence appears before you. They express that humanity is not ready for the Artifacts, and they won’t let you leave with it quietly.

Starborn objectives

Most Starfield missions consist of several objectives that you must complete to advance the quest. As you complete each objective, your journal will be updated with the next objective.

Specific objectives and checkpoints have not yet been confirmed for this Starfield mission.

Starborn reward

Completing Starborn provides the player with 300 experience.

Some quests also provide additional rewards:

This quest does not reward the player with any unique weapons, armor, or items.

No additional rewards have been confirmed.

Starborn mission console commands

If you just want to start the Starborn mission, all you need to do is enter the following Starfield console command to begin:

startquest 00021BEF

Be warned that attempting to start a quest that requires specific triggers or hidden markers can result in game instability, so it is recommended you save your game before trying any commands. If however you are encountering a Starfield bug that prevents the mission from advancing, you might want to try the following:

resetquest 00021BEF

The above command will completely reset a quest (make sure you save your game beforehand in case it causes a crash to desktop). It also has the potential to prevent that quest from ever completing, meaning you’ll need to use the completequest 00021BEF command to progress.

Starborn walkthrough

It might be a short quest, but if you’re at a loose end, our Starfield Starborn walkthrough can easily cross this mission off your list.

  1. You’ll encounter the ship Helix as you leave Neon. They’ll identify themselves as Starborn. They’ll try to convince you to hand over the Artifact.
  2. Grav jump to anywhere. Then head to The Lodge in New Atlantis to speak to Noel. Join the meeting and have your say on what you think the Starborn might be.

There you have it, our Starborn walkthrough, so you can keep blasting through the main quest. If you find any problems with our walkthrough, get over to the Starfield forum to let us know.
