Unveiling the Secrets of Vlad's Villa in Starfield: A Gamer's Guide

In Starfield's Constellation organization, there are numerous vibrant characters, but none quite like Vladimir Sall. Vladimir, a former captain of the Crimson Fleet, had retired but was called back to active service by Constellation's leader, Sarah Morgan.

Upon encountering Vlad on The Eye, players have the opportunity to learn about his past. During the conversation, Vlad casually mentions owning a villa on a distant planet. As he rarely visits, he generously allows players to explore and take whatever interests them. While this is merely a secondary activity in Starfield, it can prove to be worthwhile.

Where to Find Vlad's Villa

The "Visit Vladimir's House" option will appear in the activity log of the player's mission tab after speaking to Vlad. Although the text does not provide specific directions to the villa's location, players can select it as their active mission and navigate to its coordinates.

To be more precise, the villa can be found in the Syrma system, on Syrma VII-a, which is the first moon of the seventh planet. Syrma is situated beyond the borders of both the UC and FC and is positioned towards the right side of the star map. As a result, the system is recommended for higher-level players, but there are no threats present at Vlad's Villa itself. However, it is advisable to be prepared for any potential space battles that may occur during the journey.

What to Do in Vlad's Villa

The villa is a serene location in a predominantly tranquil world, allowing players to easily make their way towards it. A pathway from the left of the landing zone leads directly to the front door of the villa, although, due to the low gravity of Syrma VII-a, players also have the option to boost their way there.

Inside the villa, players will discover an array of valuable sculptures and various other items that can be taken and sold. None of these items hold any exceptional rarity, and the activity is completed as soon as players approach the house. However, there are two distinct tasks available exclusively within the villa: collecting Vladimir Sall's slates and acquiring his one-of-a-kind weapon.

There are a total of five slates. Vlad uses them to recount his journey from joining the Crimson Fleet to the beginning of Starfield. Players have the freedom to collect them in any sequence, but they are best understood when listened to in a chronological order. Here is the location where they can be found:

Located between two blue chairs near the front pond.

In front of the gold DNA sculpture in the conference room.

Next to the weapon case in the living room/kitchen area.

Between two blue chairs on the upper balcony.

To the right of the bed in Vlad's bedroom.

To locate Vlad's unique weapon, proceed to the basement. The stairs leading down can be found directly below the stairs going up. Within the utility room at the rear of the basement, there is a door that is securely locked using an Advanced lock. However, any player who possesses a minimum of one level in Security and possesses a digipick can successfully pick the lock.

Once the locked door is opened, Vlad's safe room will be revealed. Situated in the center of the room, on top of the desk, you will discover The Mutineer. This extraordinary .43 MI pistol possesses the ability to inflict additional damage when used in outer space, although it deals less damage when utilized on a planet or moon. The remaining statistics of the weapon may vary depending on the player's current level. Moreover, players also have the opportunity to stumble upon a random weapon within the weapon rack in this room.

Visitors have the opportunity to explore Vlad's villa for treasures and valuable items. However, the real allure of this place lies in Vlad's backstory and the one-of-a-kind weapon he possesses.

Starfield, the game, can currently be played on PC and Xbox Series X/S.
