Unravel the Secrets of Starfield: Ultimate Mantis Quest Guide (Full Puzzle Solution, Epic Razorleaf Ship, and Master the Mantis Suit)

The Mantis mission is an optional side quest in Starfield that rewards players with a Legendary armor set and a starship. However, finding the mission's location is a challenge as it is only revealed through an encrypted note. This guide aims to help players start the Mantis side quest, solve its letter puzzle, and obtain the highly sought-after rewards: the Mantis spacesuit and the Razorleaf ship.

How to Start the Mantis Side Quest

In Starfield, players can kickstart the Mantis quest by reading the note titled "Secret Outpost." This letter cryptically mentions a secluded base on Denebola I-b, dubbing it an extraordinary chance of a lifetime. Once in possession of the note, players' mission logs will update with a new entry called "Mantis," enabling them to conveniently mark its location on the map.

Players are likelier to find the Mantis mission note during the Groundpounder mission.

How to Solve the Mantis Floor Puzzle

Within the confines of the Liar of the Mantis lies a cunningly devised corridor, rigged with traps. This treacherous pathway can only be traversed by those who possess the knowledge of a secret password. To conquer this enigma, players must strategically tread upon the pressure plates, in a specific order, aligning them to form the word "TYRANNIS." The utmost precision is demanded, for the slightest misspelling of the cryptic code will trigger potent turrets, resulting in instant demise for the player.

Puzzle Location: Denebola I-b, Secret Outpost Waypoint.

Password: TYRANNIS.

How to Solve: Spell the password with pressure plates.

The Complete Mantis Quest Walkthrough

In order to acquire the complimentary Razorleaf starship and esteemed Mantis spacesuit, players must undertake the Mantis side quest. Accomplishing this quest necessitates pilgrimages to Denebola I-b, where a well-concealed hideout must be exploited for treasures. The ensuing guidelines illuminate the sequential process required to triumph.

Retrieve the Secret Outpost Note From Spacers

The Mantis side quest commences upon discovering a text log entitled the "Secret Outpost" amidst players' endeavors. Acquiring this document requires looting Spacers—interstellar malefactors commonly encountered across various star systems, exhibiting hostility towards players. It is crucial to note that simply obtaining the letter does not directly unlock the mission; players must interact with it from their inventory.

Travel to the Denebola Star System

After the Mantis mission is unlocked, navigate to the Starmap and swiftly travel to the Denebola star system. Upon arrival, touch down at the "Secret Outpost Waypoint" on planet Denebola I-b and track down the Liar of the Mantis. The route leading to this covert hideout becomes visible as players activate their scanners.

Solve the Pressure Plate Puzzle

After defeating all the adversaries in the Liar of the Mantis, players' subsequent task is to locate the concealed corridor protected by Livvey. Within the confines of this passageway, they will come across a sequence of pressure plates, each adorned with white lettering. These plates form part of the Mantis puzzle, which grants access to a coveted legendary reward. To solve this puzzle, players need to input the code "TYRANNIS," which can be acquired by listening to an audio log entitled "Leon Voclain - Sic Semper Tyrannis."

Activate the Razorleaf Spaceship

Upon successfully completing the Mantis quest, players will be rewarded with the opportunity to obtain the Razorleaf, a complimentary spaceship. To acquire this ship, players must first locate and activate the key in the basement of the Liar of Mantis. Once activated, they can proceed to the top floor using the elevator and claim ownership of the ship by entering its cockpit.

When aboard the Razorleaf, players will experience new interactions while docking and communicating with other spacecraft. For instance, certain security guards may offer Credits as a reward for sparing their lives, mistakenly assuming that the actual Mantis is piloting the ship.

Get the Legendary Mirrored Mantis Suit

The Mantis spacesuit is housed in the laboratory of the Secret Hideout on planet Denebola I-b. Players can acquire it by first activating the Mantis spaceship and subsequently obtaining the suit from its secure enclosure.

This armor offers various advantageous features, including the following perks:

Mirrored Mantis Spacesuit: Reduces incoming melee damage by 15%, decreases weapon weight by 50%, and increases the chance of reflecting attacks by 4%.

Repulsing Mantis Pack: Decreases incoming melee damage by 15%, increases carry capacity by 20%, and has a 5% chance of disarming nearby attackers.

Rewritten

Mantis Space Helmet with Sensor Chip: Reduces damage from Humans by 15%, increases thermal resistance by 25%, and provides a 20% accuracy bonus while shooting on the move.

Players may receive varying modifications on their individual Mantis spacesuits, although the mentioned modifications are the most commonly found.

Starfield is available now for Windows 10/11 and Xbox Series X|S.
