1. Discovering the Mantis Quest: The “Mantis” quest in Starfield can be encountered as part of the Back to Vectera mission. A significant clue is found in a note referring to Spacers discovering a hidden outpost. This secret outpost is revealed to be the lair of a mysterious space vigilante known as the Mantis. By navigating her secret base, players can claim powerful gear and the remarkable Mantis ship, the Razorleaf.

2. Initiating the “Mantis” Quest
Obtaining the ‘Secret Outpost!’ Note
The journey begins by locating a critical clue about the secret outpost’s whereabouts. Players must search for a note titled “Secret Outpost!” during the Back to Vectera mission. Typically, this note is found on the planet where Heller and Barrett crashed, with the specific planet varying in each playthrough. Upon looting this note, players will receive the “Mantis” mission and an objective to read the “Secret Outpost” slate.

3. Unveiling the Clues
Reading the ‘Secret Outpost!’ Slate
To proceed with the Mantis mission, players should access their inventory and navigate to the “Notes” section. There, they will find the “Secret Outpost!” slate recently acquired. Clicking on it will update the mission with the next objective: “Go to Denebola I-b.” (It is highly likely that Denebola I-b is a fixed location and does not vary, but players can follow mission markers on the Starmap for guidance.)

1. Initiate “Mantis” Quest:
Get ‘Secret Outpost!’ Note:
Start by finding a vital clue about the secret outpost. Locate the “Secret Outpost!” note during the Back to Vectera mission, often on the planet of Heller and Barrett’s crash. Looting this note triggers the “Mantis” mission with an objective to read the “Secret Outpost” slate.

2. Uncover Clues:
Read ‘Secret Outpost!’ Slate:
Progress the “Mantis” mission by accessing the inventory’s “Notes” section. Locate the acquired “Secret Outpost!” slate and click on it to trigger the “Go to Denebola I-b” objective.

3. Journey to Denebola I-b: Reach Denebola I-b and identify the Secret Outpost’s landing target. Exercise caution as you encounter Spacers outside. Proceed indoors after clearing initial obstacles.

4. Inside Secret Outpost:
Explore Mantis’ Lair, Objectives, Talk to Livvey:
Inside, confront Spacers, find locked safes with loot, and eliminate them. Look for intercoms conveying messages from the Mantis. Some Spacers carry note slates contributing to the optional objective. Further in, meet Spacer Livvey, who provides clues. Choose to involve or confront Livvey, affecting your interaction.

5. Solve Mantis Floor Puzzle: Navigate a corridor indicated by Livvey, where lettered floor panels present a challenge. Incorrect steps activate automated turrets. The solution, found in a note from Leon, is “TYRANNIS.” Carefully navigate the tiles to spell “TYRANNIS.”

6. Acquire Mantis Rewards: Claim Mantis Spacesuit and Starship: After clearing the trapped corridor, face robots and turrets. Listening to automated messages aids learning about the Mantis’ lair. In the heart of the Mantis’ lair, enter the Batcave and claim the Mantis spacesuit and starship. Find the spacesuit in a nearby storage room and interact with the mannequin. Access a control panel to lift the Mantis ship, the Razorleaf, to the surface. Follow the mission marker to the Razorleaf, making it your home ship.

Completing the “Mantis” mission grants players the Mantis spacesuit and the Mantis starship, the Razorleaf. These rewards are exceptionally valuable for a mission of relatively straightforward nature.

The Razorleaf starship boasts impressive equipment and armament, surpassing the Frontier (the default ship from the “One Small Step” mission) in all statistics except ballistic weaponry.

The Mantis spacesuit is superior to most early and mid-game gear, offering robust damage protection and additional situational damage reductions. Furthermore, the spacesuit includes valuable traits:

• The Incendiary Mantis Spacesuit reduces resource weight by 25%, aiding carry capacity, and has a 10% chance to ignite nearby attackers.
• The Assisted Carry Mantis Pack includes a boost pack and reduces oxygen consumption by 75% when running while encumbered.
• The Incendiary Mantis Space Helmet adds +2 max auto-attempts when lock-picking and shares the incendiary trait with the spacesuit.

These rewards make the “Mantis” mission a lucrative endeavor for players in need of potent gear and a formidable starship.

You’ll find Frank Langston and Elizabeth Cardwell inside.
