Into the Unknown Walkthrough and Objectives

1. Talk to Vladimir

Into the Unknown starts by talking to Vladimir aboard The Eye, a space station orbiting Jemison. He'll tell you that he has leads on two artifacts located on two separate planets that are randomly assigned for each player and playthrough.

In addition, you'll also need to find and check up on a person named Andreja.

2. Go to the First Planet

At this point, you're free to travel to the planets in any order. Regardless of which planet you visit first, your objective remains the same of finding the artifacts.

4. Find the Artifact

Once you land on one of the target planets, follow the waypoint and it will lead you to either an abandoned mine or a cave. Enter it and head deeper underground while eliminating any hostiles that you'll encounter along the way.

5. Go to the Second Planet

Set a course for the next planet and look for the artifact there. If the first one was inside an abandoned mine, then the next artifact will be inside a cave.

6. Find the Artifact

Head to the cave or mine and look for the mineral deposit and use your Cutter to pry the second artifact free from the rocks.

7. Add the Artifacts to the Collection

Return to The Lodge in New Atlantis and add the newly obtained artifacts to the collection at the library.

8. Talk to Matteo

Matteo will immediately talk to you and Andreja afterwards, and he will express his jealousy since he was unable to find any leads to the other artifacts.

After the conversation Andreja will be added to your crew and be your active companion right away.

How to Look for Distortions in Into the Unknown Quest

Use Hand Scanner to Look Around

To look for distortions on Procyon III, bring out your Hand Scanner and aim at each of the objective icons until you notice that the edge of the Scanner circle is breaking or glitching out.

You will know that you are following the correct Anomaly once the glitches on the scanner circle becomes more consistent as you go near the landmark.
