Recruiting a clone of Amelia Earhart, the famous aviation pioneer and American writer born in 1987, is an unusual and challenging task in the game Starfield. In this article, we will tell you how to complete this secret mission and add this unique companion to your team.
Most of your potential allies in the world of Starfield can be found in bars located in major settlements throughout the game. The main companions will be available automatically as you progress through the main Constellation storyline. However, there is one unique companion, Amelia Earhart, access to whom can only be obtained by completing a hidden mission in the far reaches of space.
To find Amelia Earhart, you will need to explore distant systems, and for this, you will require an upgraded spaceship capable of covering vast distances. Do not attempt to embark on the quest to find this companion until you have mastered the skills of piloting Class B spacecraft and have obtained the appropriate starship. Technically, you can find Amelia Earhart in the 65th level region, and such locations typically become accessible only after completing the main storyline.
Let's delve into how to begin and successfully complete this task of recruiting Amelia Earhart.
Starting the Quest
To initiate the mission related to finding and recruiting Amelia Earhart, you'll need to travel to the Haribda system. The path to this system begins with the Ophion / Hyla systems and includes the following steps: Moloch -> Shoza -> Ixyll -> Zosma -> Haribda. This route is depicted in the screenshot above. It's important to note that locating this system may prove to be a challenging task. Additionally, to reach it, you'll need a spaceship with a gravitational engine that provides a flight range of at least 22 light-years.
Warning! This region is at level 65, and to explore it, you'll need a spaceship with a flight radius of at least 23 light-years, which you can acquire from mechanics in major settlements and docks. You'll also need to unlock the 2nd and 3rd levels of piloting for handling such a starship.
Completing the Mission
Upon arriving on the planet Haribda 3, you'll embark on a mission called "Operation Starseed." You'll land at an object known as "Gorge," and after a prompt from the robot assistant Tobias, you'll engage in a conversation with a character named Ada. At this point, something unusual will occur, and you'll be invited to speak with Franklin, one of the members of the lost colony.
Mission Progression
The full name of this character is Franklin Delano Roosevelt. All the inhabitants of the lost colony you'll encounter are actually clones. After conversing with Roosevelt, you'll be allowed to freely explore the colony. It's essential to interact with other clones, such as Genghis Khan and Wyatt Earp, the latter of whom will attempt to sell you a hotel room.
Several communities exist within the colony, all of which are in a somewhat fragile balance. Beyond Roosevelt's room, you'll find Amelia Earhart. After speaking with her, she'll offer to join your team. Besides, you can interact with other clones, such as Wyatt Earp.
However, before making decisions, it's also worth talking to Queen Amanirena, who seeks to restore the Enterprise. Outside Roosevelt's room, you'll encounter Genghis Khan, who needs your assistance in battling aggressive aliens. It's essential to remember that each of the three leaders has their vision for resolving the situation in the Gorge:
- Amanirena aims to repair the Enterprise and become the Chosen One for a new Golden Age.
- Genghis Khan wants to destroy the Enterprise and escape.
- Roosevelt plans to shut down the Enterprise but stay on the planet until the clones are ready to travel.
Afterward, you may be contacted by Wyatt Earp, who will propose that you undertake the "Secret Lives" mission, during which you'll learn more about the colony and make significant decisions. You might have to deal with mysteries and moral dilemmas.
In any case, after completing the mission related to the colony, you'll be able to assist Amelia Earhart in leaving it and joining your team. Although you won't be able to establish romantic relationships with her, she'll be a full-fledged member of your crew and will fight alongside you or accompany you on cosmic adventures. This companion is one of the most unusual and interesting characters in the Starfield game.
