Starfield: 10 Best Side Missions You Must Find

Of the many monsters and mayhem-makers running amok throughout Starfield's galaxy, few are as absurdly huge, vicious, or teeth-gratingly resistant to damage as the titanic Alpha Ashta.

This key Akila City mission continues the narrative initially established in Defensive Measures and takes players into a heated hunt for the Alpha Ashta. With an ally to preferably keep alive, this crushing, XP-sapping battle can be especially grueling for lower-level players to handle.

Much like a hippopotamus, the Alpha Ashta is oddly fast for its heavy frame whilst also displaying a vicious, territorial streak. With its suitably monstrous design, the creature fits the alien beast model perfectly whilst providing players with an all-action spectacle to trailblaze through.

Scarily, the end of the quest can drop a horrifying clue that there are more behemoths out there to hunt, leaving an open-ended finale to consider. A satisfying chapter in the engrossing Akila City's plotlines, Leader of the Pack is by no means a complex quest, but its big monster thrills and spills are among the more thrilling moments on offer in the game, ensuring players get both an epic battle and a boatload of credits to enjoy.
