Mastering the Galaxy: Unleashing Starfield's Ultimate Powers

There are more than 20 Force-like powers that you can obtain in Starfield. Initially, these powers are integrated into the main questline. However, as you progress, you may come across a few of them while freely exploring the sandbox environment. In our Starfield powers guide, we will explain the process of unlocking these abilities by visiting temples on distant planets. Just a friendly reminder, this article contains spoilers.

All unlockable powers in Starfield

The Starfield powers become accessible during a mission known as Into the Unknown. Initially, you will be tasked with finding additional pieces of the artifact. However, as the quest concludes, you will be instructed to make your way towards Procyon III.

How to locate temples

Once you locate Procyon III on the map, an anomaly site will come into view. Land your spacecraft, survey your surroundings, and search for an ancient temple in the distance.

How to activate the portal

To access your Starfield powers, you must activate the portal located within the temple. Achieve this by floating around and gathering the radiant sparks of light that manifest. Confirmation of success will be accompanied by a resounding audio cue. Suggestion: envision the emergence of the THX logo while immersed in a cinematic experience.

How to use your powers

After your character gets teleported outside, a new power will be unlocked. Along with that, the Powers screen/interface will also become accessible. To access it, simply press up on the menu.

Once you have selected a power, you can activate it by pressing "Z" on your keyboard or LB+RB on your Xbox gamepad. Activating a power will consume your mana resource, which is represented by a thin bar located below your HP. However, don't worry, as your mana will gradually regenerate over time.

Choose powers from the interface.

How to defeat Starborn

Once you step back outside, you will soon realize that you are not alone. Awaiting you is an entity called the Starborn. These Starfield Starborn adversaries are typically around level 30 and possess the ability to remain hidden in stealth. Therefore, keep an eye out for faint ripples on your screen as they indicate their whereabouts.

Your objective is to swiftly defeat a Starborn using your weaponry. Unlike most enemies, they will not leave a lifeless body behind; instead, they will simply vanish. We occasionally catch a glimpse of a Starborn's loot/inventory panel right before it fades away. Unfortunately, no remnants can be found. It is unclear whether this is a glitch or intentional design.

Starborn enemies are both tough and sneaky.

How to find more temples

Moreover, as you progress beyond this stage, your efforts to acquire Starfield power become an integral part of the Power From Beyond quest series. You can explore a few different methods to discover the remaining temples within the game world:

Flying to a different star system may result in receiving a notification about a temple situated on one of the planets. Another option is to engage in a conversation with Vladimir Sall, who can provide information about the temple's whereabouts, causing it to appear in your quest log.

What happens in New Game Plus

Proceeding beyond this point will lead us into the realm of significant spoilers, thus a cautionary note is required. Further intricate information can be found in our comprehensive New Game Plus guide. Regarding abilities, here is what you should be aware of:

In New Game Plus, there is an option to bypass the main quest. Rather than repeating the "Into the Unknown" mission, you have the choice to either converse with Vladimir or explore new star systems to discover different temples.

Advanced versions of these abilities, such as Gravity Wave II, can be obtained, providing increased damage or more potent effects. However, we are not certain if these upgraded variations are accessible during the main campaign, as we did not come across them at that time.

It cannot be confirmed whether temple locations are randomly assigned for each player or playthrough. However, it is known that artifact locations may vary slightly if you choose to bypass the main quest.

Regardless, this is all the information necessary on how to unlock powers in Starfield. If necessary, we will provide further updates and additional details in this guide, so please stay tuned.
