What happens if I defend The Lodge?

Starfield: Commander Ikande on the UC Vigilance.

Starfield: Commander Ikande on the UC Vigilance.

If you decide to defend The Lodge, the Starborn Hunter appears upstairs and starts attacking Walter.

Instead, simply keep running toward the blue hexagon mission marker in the distance.

If you stop, your Constellation companions will stop too, so don’t worry about what they do.

They’ll be safe.

From here it’s crucial that you try and make it to your ship.

So once again, keep running with Noel and don’t stop for anything.

Starfield

As soon as possible, board your ship and take off into space.

You’ll then make your way to The Eye and will discover that one of your companions has died.

This will be whichever companion on the station that you had the best friendship points with.

What happens if I go to The Eye?

Running to The Eye will result in you getting there too late to fight The Hunter.

However, everyone on board will be alive.

Starfield: High Price to Pay death.

Someone at The Lodge will die if you go to The Eye.

Upon returning to the building, you’ll find one of your companions has died.

This will be the companion that you had raised the highest relationship with.

You’ll follow the marker and find that Noel is hiding in an underground passage.

Starfield: The Hunter.

The Hunter will stop you in the underground passage.

Don’t bother fighting The Hunter, as your bullets will hardly hurt him.

He’ll simply heal back to full health if you do make any dent.

Instead, work on running through the city as fast as you might and trying not to get shot.

Starfield: The Frontier over a moon.

Blasting off into space won’t solve anything.

Then board your ship.

What happens if I don’t go to the Lodge or the Eye?

More of an every man for himself kind of player?

Starfield: High Price to Pay death.

Starfield: Someone at The Eye will die if you choose to defend The Lodge.

Sorry, ditching is not really an option.

But the choice was still there waiting for me after time had passed.

Starfield High Price to Pay: What should I do?

Starfield: Armillary on ship.

You can put the Armillary on your ship on at an outpost.

Put bluntly, regardless of what choice you make, one of your companions is going to die.

The game makes you choose between the two companions that you have the best relationships with.

The best decision at this point really depends on how you feel about the characters.

Not sure what to do?

Meanwhile, choosing to go to The Eye makes the story go far less smoothly.

Then you’ll still be forced to face the Hunter while running through the streets with Noel.

So if you simply care about everything running more smoothly, stay at The Lodge.

Hyperx CloudX Stinger 2 Noise…

Where should I put the Armillary?

This is more a matter of preference than anything else.

Wherever you place the Armillary will determine which place gets attacked more often.

HyperX CloudX Stinger II -…

If you’re into space combat, then put it on your ship.

So, you’re never fully stuck with this decision.

Then they will be one of the default characters to choose between.

They’re just NPCs.
