Revelation Walkthrough and Objectives

1. Go to Masada III

Get aboard your ship and travel all the way to Masada III in the Masada Star System. If it's too far from your current location and your fuel capacity can't reach it in one trip, you might have to jump to a closer star system along the way first.

2-3. Defeat the Starborn Ships

You'll arrive outside the planet with the Scorpius waiting for you. Regardless of the dialogue options you choose, you'll have to blast your way through a squadron of Starborn Ships.

4. Land at the Buried Temple

Land at the Buried Temple area of the planet and make for the objective marker until you reach the military base.

5-7 Fight Your Way Through Starborn and Ecliptic Soldiers

As you get deeper into the base, you will be ambushed by multiple waves of Starborn and Ecliptic Soldiers. Survive and defeat all targets until you are stopped by a locked door.

Combat Tips and Mistakes to Avoid

8. Find a Way to Open the Door

Two markers should appear after clearing all the enemies: one for the door and another for an Ecliptic Base ID Card. Pick this card up and insert it on the card reader near the door to unlock it.

9-14. Continue Searching for the Artifact

Get through the next rooms while following the new objective marker. If you need, you can search around for some useful items like health packs and weapons.

The marker will lead you to an Anomaly, teleporting you inside a cave that, fortunately, has a linear path to the exit. A few more steps and you will encounter another group of Starborn.

14. Getting the Ecliptic Base Key

An optional objective will be added here where you can disable the turret defenses through the control room. The key to the control room is an Ecliptic Base Key found on a table outside it. This will also be used to open the next locked door.

You can either recalibrate friend/foe settings to have them protect you or shut the defenses completely.

15-18. Defeat Captain Petrov

After surviving the attack, follow the marker for another Anomaly, which will lead you to a room where Captain Petrov is. Your choices here won't matter as this will ultimately escalate to an exchange of bullets.

Entering the Anomaly where you warped from will just lead back to the same room and the only way out is to defeat Petrov and loot the Private Quarters Key from his body.

19-23. Find the Artifact

The next part of the quest is a linear one, and includes a trip through another Anomaly. Once you're back out, take the lift down and press onward through the cave until you receive another greeting from the Starborn.

Wipe them all out and head to the next marker to find the door to the Buried Temple. Finally!

24. Defeat The Hunter / The Emissary

Depending on the crucial choice you made during Unearthed, either The Hunter, The Emissary, or both of them will be standing before the Artifact.

If you sided with The Hunter during the mentioned main quest, you'll go against The Emissary in this room, and vice versa. However, if you sided with neither of the two, it will be a rumble between the three of you (or four if you brought company).

They can still be persuaded in this objective and avoid a fight completely, skipping to the Artifact right away.

As indicated in the table above, you can obtain their unique weapons and their Artifacts if you defeat them here. That being said, the difficulty increase with both of them targeting you will be worth it if you can obtain both their exclusive items.

25. Take the Artifacts

Grab the Artifact (and The Hunter/Emissary's if you killed them) to return outside and complete the quest.
