This is an Exhuming the Past walkthrough for the Starfield DLC Shattered Space. Learn the Exhuming the Past code for completing the teleportation experiment here.
List of Contents
| 1 | Reach Ma'leen Dam |
|---|---|
 Head to Ma'leen Dam. Once you get there, interact with the ID Card Reader to progress the quest. |
|
| 2 | Get the Dam Access Card |
 Talk to the kid Comrak Abbas nearby, and you will be directed to the Abbas Seaweed Farm. Once there, talk to Kaviil Fahrzanas and ask him to give you the Dam Access Card. You will then be able to access the dam. |
|
| 3 | Explore the Dam |
| Go through the corridors of the Dam until you see a red pipe with an entrance to the right that can be easy to miss. Go through, and you will see a dilapidated bridge. From there, head to the room with a computer in it by going up the stairs. Alternatively, you could use your Pack to get up quickly. |
|
| 4 | Destroy the Modulator and Drain the Water |
 Interact with the computer. You will then have to follow the quest marker leading you to the modulator and destroy it. Go back to the computer to drain the water. |
|
| 5 | Open the Secure Access Door |
 Head back down to the new area revealed by the drained water. Go to the computer seen in the image above and open the Secure Access Door to progress the quest. |
|
| 6 | Defeat the Phantom |
 The Phantom you talk to will eventually turn hostile. After defeating her, head to the locked door that is marked as an objective. You need to open it via the computer and the Teleportation Experiment nearby. |
|
| 7 | Find a Way to Open the Door |
 After taking out the Phantom, the quest marker will lead you to a locked door that you will have to open by reading the files on the computer and completing the Teleportation Experiment. |
The Exhuming the Past code is 3-3-5 when completing the teleportation experiment. The original code for the Experiment Keycard is 2-2-5, but the Important Reminder: Power Usage document on the computer to your right mentions that the value must be increased by 100 to compensate for low power, which explains the final value.
| 8 | Activate the Console |
|---|---|
 Follow the quest marker to the next area, where you will have to fight two phantoms. Afterward, access the computer seen in the image above and read all the research logs to get the next objective. Activate the console seen in the image above to progress the quest. |
|
| 9 | Divert Power to the Interlock Console |
 Use a Drilling Rig to cut open the wall seen in the image above and get to the Interlock Console. You will be attacked by multiple phantoms. Since there's basically no cover in that room, try using the narrow vent/hallway you entered to funnel in the phantoms and avoid them teleporting behind you. |
|
| 10 | Retrieve the Vortex Interlock |
 Interact with all the levers to retrieve the Vortex Interlock. |
| 11 | Make Your Choice |
|---|---|
 You can choose to exit the dam immediately or remove the remaining Vortex Interlock before exiting. If you choose to remove the remaining Interlock, you will have to open the security door near the unpowered Interlock Console and shoot the modulator to restore power. Afterward, interact with all the levers again and retrieve the second Vortex Interlock. Removing the remaining Interlock will flood the town nearby and the inhabitants will be distraught, but it does not affect the end of the mission. It only gives unique dialogue. Similarly, exiting the dam immediately does not affect the end of the quest. |
|
| 12 | Deliver the Interlock to Ekris |
 Go back to Ekris and give him the Interlock. |
