The Crimson Fleet has one of the best questlines in Starfield. The Eye of the Storm quest is the last part to get the grand treasure everyone was looking for. So, it is logical to assume this will be a complex and multilayered quest, so grab your best weapons and armor set. If you are struggling with the Eye of the Storm quest, then here is how to complete it easily in Starfield.
Eye of the Storm Guide in Starfield
Completing the Eye of the Storm has multiple steps and tasks to be completed. To commence the quest, you must head to the Ship Services of The Key base. There, you will find Jazz and Delago having a conversation with one another. First, have a little chat with Delago that will end up threatening you, which you should not worry about. Then, Ask Jazz’s help to install the ComSpike and Conduction Grid Modules.
How To Install ComSpike and Conduction Grid Module
Once you’ve spoken with Jazz about helping you with installing the ComSpike and Conduction Grid Module, you will be taken to the Ship Building menu of the game. This is an easy task, but for a small inconvenience, players could get stuck here. Here is what you have to do:
- Select ‘Ship Builder’.
- Click on ‘Add’.
- Select the ‘Equipment’ Menu.
- Find and Select the Conduction Grid.
- Drag the module over the blue outlines.
- Press ‘Accept’
- Click on ‘Add’ again.
- Select ‘ComSpike’ this time.
- Drag the module over the blue outlines.
- Press ‘Accept’
Many players tend to get confused about how to add modules to their ship. On PC, the procedure is quite easy since all you have to do is select the Add option from the bottom right corner. In the case of Xbox consoles, however, first, you have to move the cursor away from your ship. When you do that, it’s not selecting anything and then you can see the Add option at the bottom right corner as well.
Speak With Commander Ikande
Once you are done installing the modules, leave The Key and travel to the UC Vigilance to speak with Commander Ikande. First, the commander will threaten you to bring back the money, and second, Ikande will state that they are preparing for a full-scale attack on The Key.
Travel to Bannoc IV
It is finally time to reach the Legacy. First travel to the Bannoc IV in the Bannoc System. When you arrive, there will be an asteroid field with endless lightnings being struck. There will be an unknown signal that you must head towards it. Once you get close enough, you will be able to board it.
Time To Find the Legacy in Eye of the Storm Quest in Starfield
Once you get onboard, the marker will tell you where to go. It is worth it to explore a little bit, but there isn’t any legendary item that shouldn’t miss. Decide whether you want to explore or just head straight towards your goal. Eventually, you will come across the Transfer Module Lock.
Interacting with the lock will state that you need the Transfer GalBank Module. Finding those items isn’t hard since all you have to do is turn around the find the crew member’s dead body surrounded by empty bottles. Search the body, and voila, you got the Galbank Transfer Module. Use it to open the lock.
Proceed towards the unlocked door. Turn left and then head downstairs. You will eventually come across an orange door but be prepared to fight a turret and a robot. Once you’ve dealt with them, you will come across two paths, one on your right and the other on your left.
The door on the left will lead to the reactor which means you have to deal with radiation damage as well as a turret and two robots. If you end up using this path, turn right at the end of the path and you will come across the locked area.
The door on the right however is locked and requires an Advanced lockpicking skill. If you did unlock the door, be careful of the two turrets at the end of the hall. Apart from that, two other robots will also be there to fight you.
At the end of the hall, there is a hydraulic computer to the left of the door that you can hack if you have Advanced Hacking skills. If you managed to hack the computer, you change the settings of all robots and shut down the alarm as well.
Eventually, you will come across the next corridor that also leads to two paths. You can go to the Shield Generator Room and head upstairs. If you have Expert Lockpicking skills, then head upstairs, unlock the door, and you are good to go.
If you don’t have that skill, however, then you must use the Shield Generator path. Reload your weapons and pick the best one since you will be facing a couple of robots and a turret.
The Physical Plant Area
Once you pass the Generator room or if you unlock the door upstairs, you will come across the Physical Plant. As soon as you go there, a bunch of robots will come to greet you, so be prepared for a fight. After clearing the enemies, open the orange door and use the stairwell to go down the stairs.
There will be The Engin Room and Security Room downstairs. The Security room has a novice lock that only contains some ammo and a common weapon. Your main goal is to go through the Engine Room. However, there is an Advanced locked door on the right side of the Engine Room that if you manage to unlock it, you can use the computer inside to shut down all the robots and turrets that would have caused you trouble.
In the Engine Room, head to the bottom floor and go to the very back of the room. Then turn right and you will see a set of stairs going up. Use the stairs until you reach a terminal that unlocks the vault.
Accessing the Vault
Once you get inside you have to reach the bottom. You can either sneak past the robots or start shooting everything and then jump straight down. Once again, there will be a couple of rooms with loot in them, but nothing legendary or exotic, just normal stuff. So if you already have good loot, then it is best to stick to the main quest.
On the bottom floor, there will be a door in the right corner at the back of the room. Open it but be prepared for a turret. Then you have to head up the stairs to the back left to reach what we have been looking for.
Meet Jasper Kryx’s Dead Body in Eye of the Storm Quest in Starfield
Once you enter the room you will see Kryx’s cold body on the chair. Loot Jasper Kryx’s Legendary Rifle and retrieve the Galbank Transfer Module amongst the pile of credits. Once you’ve done looting things, then head to the back of the room to turn on two switches.
Then approach the front desk to activate the two Transfer Module Locks. Activate the Data Core Port and finally throw the Download Control Switch. Once the transfer from caches to the data core is done, interact with both Transfer Module Locks and then take the Data Core.
Time To Escape the Legacy
As soon as you take the Date Core, the Legacy will have a system failure and toxic gas will erupt everywhere. You cannot stay here long, so you have to go back to your ship, using the same route you came here. If you are struggling to find the path, use your scanner.
Due to the explosions and fire, there will be changes to your path. When you reach the big open space where all the credits are stored, rubbles have blocked the way. So, you have to go far right and then head towards the Engine Room. There will be a bunch of robots sent to kill you, so take care of them as soon as you can.
Then you will reach the location where you used the dead crew member’s key that has collapsed. The only option is to use your boost pack to jump across. If you fail, then use the stairs to go up.
The final hallway will also be damaged so you have to go left through the crew quarters and past the blockage, go downstairs to your ship. Once you are on your ship, you have to make the final choice in Eye of the Storm quest in Starfield as to whether you want to go back to the Crimson Fleet or UC SysDef.
Choosing UC SysDef
You have to make a choice whether to give the goods to Crimson Fleet or UC SysDef. You can find what happens if you choose each of the available options below, but in the end, you have to make the choice between UC and Crimson Fleet.
If you choose to give the goods to Commander Ikande, he will be pleased but you have to fight the Crimson Fleet. Eventually, you will land on The Key and face Delago. You can either kill him or persuade him to turn himself in. There will be a bunch of consequences that won’t be changed if you go with UC SysDef:
- The Key will be lost as the destination.
- You won’t have access to The Key Vendors.
- You’ll Gain Access to the UC SysDef mission board.
- You’ll gain 250,000 Credits.
Choosing Crimson Fleet in Eye of the Storm Quest Starfield
If you head to Delago with the good, he will be pleased and eventually, you have to fight UC Vigilance. You can either Kill Ikande or persuade him not to destroy the ship and everyone on board. Here are the consequences of this choice:
- You’ll Keep the Key as a destination.
- You’ll be able to use The Key vendors.
- You will still have access to the Crismon Fleet mission board.
- You will get 250,000 Credits.
