Starfield: 10 Best Side Missions You Must Find

Much like The Silver Shroud in Fallout 4 or The Mechanist in Fallout 3, Bethesda's curious penchant for deconstructing crimefighters arrives in the form of The Mantis in Starfield.

For players looking for both a new suit of armour and a new, high-quality spaceship, hitting up the lair of the Mantis is a potentially lucrative endeavour. Widely dismissed as little more than an urban legend in many circles, The Mantis proves to be an all too real and dangerous figure as players uncover the truth surrounding the mysterious figure.

Before actually getting to the titular figure, though, the Spacefarer must first collide with a gang of pesky Spacers, some of whom will sport dangerous energy weapons. From there, Starfield's underrated puzzle gaming features are on full display. A high-risk floor puzzle that can end in instant death at the slightest screw-up must be solved in order to progress, greatly adding to the overall tension and suspense of the quest.

Between its intriguing reveals surrounding The Mantis, its high-octane action and thrills, and top-quality items to pick up, The Lair of the Mantis is a hugely rewarding side offering.
