Mission Walkthrough

The Empty Nest is one of three missions that unlock after completing The Old Neighborhood. The other two are Into the Unknown and Back to Vectera, and they can be completed in any order.

1. Start by speaking to Sam Coe in the gardens of The Lodge. He will explain the expedition to Akila City on Akila, where you aim to find another Artifact.

2. Travel to Akila in the Cheyenne System and land at Akila City after being scanned by the Freestar Rangers.

3. Speak to Sam again by the city entrance to learn more about your mission. He becomes your companion for this mission.

4. Your first task is to visit the GalBank vault to find maps made by one of Sam’s ancestors. On the way, you’ll be informed about a bank robbery and have the opportunity to help.

5. Complete the Faction Mission “Job Gone Wrong” to progress. Then, return to the bank and head to the vault’s lower level. Find the storage locker containing the Note for Sam, which reveals Jacob Coe’s involvement.

6. Speak to Sam, and if desired, persuade him to reveal Jacob’s identity. Succeed in persuasion by earning 4 Persuasion ‘points’ through dialogue choices.

7. Follow the quest marker to the Coe Estate to confront Jacob, who is reluctant to give up the maps.

8. Choose one of three options: persuade Jacob, have Sam distract Jacob, or ask Cora to help convince Jacob to surrender the maps.

9. If you persuade Jacob, get the key to the room with Solomon’s Maps. Retrieve the maps and proceed.

10. Sam deduces that the Artifact is in a cave within Shaw Gang territory, also on Akila. Follow the quest marker to the Empty Nest but be cautious due to turret defenses.

11. In the Empty Nest, you can deactivate or calibrate the turrets for protection. Proceed, defeating Shaw Gang members on your way.

12. Enter the cave and defeat the Shaw Gang members guarding it. One of them holds the Shaw Gang Cave Key to unlock the gate ahead.

13. Inside the cave, collect another Artifact, Artifact Chi. You’ll experience visions but remain conscious this time.

14. Leave the hideout with Sam after obtaining the Artifact.

15. Shaw confronts you as you exit. You can persuade her to back off peacefully or choose to help the Shaw Gang deal with an Ashta.

16. Return to the Lodge, place the Artifact, and attend the Constellation meeting to complete the quest. Sam becomes an unlockable Companion.
