Guilty Parties Walkthrough and Objectives

Main Objectives

Guilty Parties Walkthrough ▼
1 Talk to Imogene on the Operations Floor
2 Talk to Yuko
3 Find Imogene in the Seokguh Syndicate Hideout
4 Find Imogene
5 Confront Imogene
6 Return to Dalton at Ryujin Tower on the Executive Offices Floor

1. Talk to Imogene on the Operations Floor

Starfield - Guilty Parties - Missing Imogene
Return to Imogene’s office on the Operations Floor, but she’s nowhere to be found. Instead, speak with Yuko and ask if she knows anything about Imogene’s whereabouts.

2. Talk to Yuko

Starfield - Guilty Parties - Speak to Yuko at Imogene Office
Yuko knows where Imogene was last seen. Keep asking her until she shares the details. She’ll also suggest you check in with Dalton first to coordinate your next steps.

(Optional) Talk to Dalton on the Executive Offices Floor

Starfield - Guilty Parties - Talk to Dalton Optional
Stop by Dalton’s office to gather more intel about the Seokghu Syndicate Hideout. He’ll recommend reaching out to Benjamin Bayu for assistance in the search.

(Optional) Talk to Benjamin Bayu

Starfield - Guilty Parties - Benjamin
Meet Benjamin at the club and mention Imogene. He can help you locate her and gain access to the syndicate she’s tied to without complications. However, he’ll ask for a favor in return.

You can try persuading him not to do the favor and save time completing the quest! It should be easy since there are only 4 bars to fill.

(Optional) Head to Frankie's Grab & Go and Talk to "Frankie"

Starfield - Guilty Parties - Go to Frankie
Go to Frankie's Grab & Go to get to the syndicate hideout. Talk to Frankie at the counter and state your business. She will refuse you to get in whatever you say, so look for another way around.

(Optional) Find a Way Into the Seokguh Syndicate Hideout

Pickpocket Frankie and Get the Keycard

Starfield - Guilty Parties - Pickpocket
You can steal the Seokguh Syndicate Keycard to access the door leading to the hideout. You can do this by crouching behind the counter and her back.

Through the Rooftop

You can get inside the hideout through the locked door on the rooftop. You can find it easily, as there's a quest marker on it.

3-4. Find Imogene in the Seokguh Syndicate Hideout

Look around and search for Imogene in the hideout. You can follow the quest marker until you get to her location. You will encounter enemies along the way, and you can sneak through or kill them.

5. Confront Imogene and Decide Her Fate

Starfield - Guilty Parties - Confront Imogene
Confront Imogene and let her explain her side. She will also hand you evidence to prove her innocence, which you can give to Dalton.

(Optional) Talk to Yuko

Starfield - Guilty Parties - Yuko Gossip
Yuko will automatically initiate a conversation once you run into her. She will ask what happened, but you can ignore her and proceed with the quest.

(Optional) Confront Ularu on the Executive Offices Floor

Starfield - Guilty Parties - Confront Ularu
Before returning to Dalton, you can confront Ularu first to know her side. She will confess she is the mole through persuasion or other unique dialogue options.

You can then decide whether to side with her or with Masako.

6. Return to Dalton at Ryujin Tower on the Executive Offices Floor

Starfield - Guilty Parties - Return to Dalton
Return to Dalton and report what happened during your investigation. The dialogue choices will change depending on how you confront Ularu and your decision during the conversation with her.

The Key Ingredient will unlock as the next quest after that!

Who to Side With, Ularu or Masako?

Siding with Ularu

Starfield - Guilty Parties - Side with Ularu
If you side with Ularu without changing your decision later on during the Executive Level quest, you will get access to the Ryujin Mission Board at your office located at the Operations floor. Stealth will also be no longer required for the missions listed on the Mission Board.

Ularu is the traitor of the Ryujin Industries faction, and she wants to take Masako's CEO position for herself. Siding with her will force the blame on Imogene even though she's innocent.

It will change all the dialogue options when you return to Dalton and tell him who's the traitor. If you do not change your decision during the Executive Level quest, she will overthrow Masako as the CEO.

Siding with Masako

Starfield - Guilty Parties - Side with Masako
Siding with Masako will still promote you to a Senior Operative in Ryujin. If you spared Imogene and professed her innocence to Dalton, you must talk to her to access the Mission Board. If you killed or spared Imogene, but did not profess her innocence, Masako will grant you access to the Mission Board.

Siding with Masako will give you a chance to hand over the evidence from Imogene and prove her innocence later on. Also, this will give you an option to attack Ularu in her office.

What Will Happen if You Kill Ularu?

Starfield - Guilty Parties - Kill Ularu
Killing Ularu after siding with Masako will make the security team and Dalton mad at you. It doesn't have any major consequences aside from that. The succeeding quests would still proceed normally even after her death.
