Our Bridger was found on one of the Spacer corpses inside the compound, so it might be there for you too if you need its help. We used frag grenades and a Bridger-type weapon with 199 Physical attack, which worked well at taking them down. Once you've solved the Mantis puzzle in Starfield with one of the solutions detailed above, you need to fight your way through a lot of robotic enemies at Level 20. Image credit: Eurogamer/Bethesda Softworks How to get Mantis ship and armor in Starfield If you want to put that Security Skill to good use and get a little extra XP instead, then you'll need to at Rank 3, as the computer has a Master level lock. If you want to solve it the traditional way, however, then start with 'T' and then work your way through spelling 'Tyrannis'. So if you're in a rush and don't have access to the computer, the easiest way to solve the Mantis puzzle is to just jump and boost to the other side and open the door. There's actually three ways to solve the Mantis puzzle in Starfield:Įven though turrets and traps try to get you even if you're jumping and boosting, the damage was minimal to us. You'll eventually come to a room with the unarmed Livvey NPC cowering by a door, and just past him is the Mantis puzzle.

Still, it's likely you'll get a good drop if you open these safes. We got a 'Berserker Technophile's Calibrated Razorback' rare pistol in one of these safes, but your loot pool might be different. There are also a few yellow safes in the lair that require the Expert and Master rank of Security to open if you want more loot. Make sure to loot corpses, hack terminals, and check recordings on the wall if you want to complete the optional task to learn more about the lair. Your goal is to now kill your way down to the bottom of the Mantis Lair building. Kill the Spacers and make your way towards them and the mission marker, then enter the 'Lair of the Mantis' door. Make sure you have all of your gear and your companion's gear sorted before landing on Denebola I-b, as Spacers opened fire on us almost immediately after exiting our ship. The Denobla Star System is found east of the Cheyenne star system, but you'll have to jump to Groombridge after reaching Cheyenne to get to Denobla if you haven't been there before. While some planet names can be randomly generated, the moon is always called Denebola I-b, as all of the audio logs in the lair mention its planet name. The Mantis Lair is located on the Denebola I-b moon in the Denebola star system.

We've seen multiple copies of notes and books throughout our travels, however, so you may be able to find the outpost note somewhere else other than the Nova Galactic Staryard. This is the second mission in Starfield, so you don't have to wait long to pick up the note! Image credit: Eurogamer/Bethesda Softworks To get the Mantis quest in Starfield you have to pick up the 'Secret Outpost!' note, which is found on the corpse of a Spacer in the Nova Galactic Staryard - the space station you go to as part of The Old Neighborhood main mission.
