The Unity Ancient Ruins Puzzle Guide – Starfield

The Starfield Unity quest takes place after an important event in the campaign called A High Price to Pay. During this quest, you will come across a mysterious message about the Starborn. Matteo, who is located in The Lodge, has the information you need. To summarize:

• Talk to Matteo and he’ll mention Keeper Aquilus.
• Go to the Sanctum Universum building to your left upon arriving at the MAST District.
• Keeper Aquilus tells you of a legend: that of a Pilgrim who once spoke to the leaders of the three religious groups in the galaxy.
• Head to the House of the Enlightened building in The Well and talk to Singh.
• Then, make your way to the SysDef compound and ask to speak with Mir’za, a follower of the Great Serpent.
• Upon returning to Aquilus, you’ll learn that each part of the legend points to the coordinates of the Pilgrim’s settlement.

Pilgrim’s Computer puzzle

Head towards Indum II in the Indum system where you will come across a settlement named Pilgrim’s Rest. As you explore the area, you will find several books scattered around that contain clues related to the Starfield Pilgrim’s Computer puzzle. To solve the puzzle, here are the correct answers to each question:

• What is the burden on people? People are necessary, but people are madness.
• Who is your most formidable opponent? Myself.
• Where does enduring contentment come from? In stopping, embracing compassion.

In the small room, you’ll find the Trackers Primer 02 magazine that permanently boosts EM weapon damage by 5%, as well as the Pilgrim’s Final Writing document that provides directions to your next destination.

Ancient Ruins puzzle

Head to Hyla II in the Hyla system next, and solve the Starfield Ancient Ruins puzzle. Upon landing, you’ll see an alien structure in the distance, as well as numerous mantis-like creatures. Don’t worry since they’re quite docile.

Approach the structure and you’ll notice that there’s a constellation, which happens to have glyph controls that move a beam of light. Take note of the Pilgrim’s clue: “The scorpion’s sting hides the truth.”

The above means that you should move the beam to highlight the tip of the scorpion’s tail (i.e. stinger). Once you do that, you’ll be directed to the next part of the quest.

A surprise meeting

You should now go to Oborum III in the Oborum Prime system. Upon grav jumping into orbit, a ship will hail you. You’ll be reunited with two familiar faces, which we don’t want to spoil any further here.

In any case, that’s all you need to know about how to solve the Unity Ancient Ruins puzzle in Starfield. One of the characters you’ll meet at the end gives you the Moon Base Key, and it also leads to a mission called Unearthed. When you tackle that, you need to make a very important decision on who you’ll side with.
