How To Complete Burden of Truth in Starfield

As you go through UC SysDef‘s set of missions and quests after being arrested for the very first time in Starfield, you’ll eventually have to undertake one titled Burden of Truth. The assignment is given to you by Lieutenant Toft after you are sent to her by Commander Ikande once you’ve reached the point in the Deep Cover quest where you need to go to Cydonia. Considering that, we’ve outlined exactly how to complete Burden of Truth in Starfield to make it that much easier on you.

Starting Burden Of Truth In Starfield

As you venture through The Lock in order to gain the trust of the Crimson Fleet, you’ll need to be on the lookout for any evidence that could potentially incriminate the former. Even if you select the quest itself to follow where to go, there isn’t a single place that you need to go to. Before you lose hope, you will need to continue on with the quest Echoes of the Past, one that Commander Ikande gave you just before Lieutenant Toft gave you this quest. You’ll need to return quite a few pieces of evidence before you’re able to actually complete the quest. In fact, there are a total of twenty places you’re going to want to visit.

1. Carter’s Gig
   • Eventually, you will come across a point in the quest where you will need to Search Carter’s Locker. If you go to the location where the tracker sent you and search everything in the locker, you will come across an audio log that can be used as evidence.
2. Warden’s Log
   • Before leaving the Warden’s office on The Lock with Mathis, go towards the locked door near the back of the room. You’ll find another audio slate that can be used as evidence.

   • You’ll have to be intentional about this because you will have to involve yourself with Dumbrosky and work with Gabriel Vera to get this evidence.
