Masada III

Starfield guide · The battle at the Buried Temple
← All areas in this guide

Masada III is the location of the Buried Temple, the setting for the climactic mission "Revelation" near the end of the main storyline. Players must fight through ground forces, Ecliptic mercenaries, and shifting dimensional anomalies to reach the interior chamber. Deep inside the temple, you confront the Emissary, the Hunter, or both, depending on your prior choices, to claim the final artifacts.

Tips

  • You can bypass the multi-phase final boss fight entirely by passing a challenging Speech challenge against the Hunter and the Emissary.
  • Looting fallen Starborn before moving through the anomaly distortions is crucial, as some anomalies may lock areas behind you.
  • Bring heavy explosive weaponry or Starborn powers like Phased Time to manage the large crowds of enemy duplicates.
