Starfield: Shattered Space thrusts players inside the secretive House Va'Ruun's territory in hopes of unraveling a catastrophic mystery. Like all the other questlines in the game, this one delivers a solid narrative experience that's perfect for fans of Bethesda's style of RPG storytelling. The DLC's main quest is relatively short, though it's full of things for players to do.

The main quest through Va'ruun'kai is the centerpiece of Shattered Space's new content. If you want to keep track of how far you've gone into the story, here's a list of all main quest steps in the DLC, including side quests.

There are seven quests in the DLC's main story, and all of them take place around the world of Va'ruun'kai. Almost all quests take place in this handcrafted world, making Shattered Space a more contained experience compared to Starfield's other storylines. The main quests of Shattered Space are:

  1. What Remains
  2. The Promised, Broken
  3. Align The Houses
    • Conflict in Conviction (House Veth'aal)
    • Exhuming The Past (House Dul'kehf)
    • The Other Side (House Dul'kehf)
    • Zealous Overreach (House Ka'dic)

  4. The Scaled Citadel

The Align The Houses quest is composed of four sub-quests that involve the three major houses presiding over Va'ruun'kai and the city of Dazra. Players can do these in any order, and completing them all leads to the completion of Align The Houses as well. The game will mark representatives for each faction while this quest is tracked. Pick any one of them to begin.

All Side Quests In Starfield: Shattered Space

The Brothers Toasting Their Drinks

There are multiple side quests that players can encounter while exploring Va'ruun'kai. Some, such as The Duel in Shattered Space, involve handling civil disputes, while others send players on longer and more dangerous journeys throughout the world. Some quests may only become available once you make enough progress in the main story.

This side quests list is a work-in-progress and will be expanded once more quests are found.

Players should get the quests listed above by overhearing NPCs or interacting with ones that are either distressed or actively calling for aid. Dazra City in particular is full of citizens who need help, and should you need to level up more quickly in Starfield or get some extra Credits fast, side quests should help you get what you need.
