In the vast expanse of Starfield's Settled Systems, Ryujin Industries stands out as a faction with a relentless pursuit of credits, often resorting to corporate espionage to achieve its goals. In this questline, players undertake missions that include engaging in corporate espionage and undermining rival business deals.
The faction's mission, "Sowing Discord," takes players into the heart of the corporate world at the Astral Lounge in Neon. In this guide, we'll walk you through the "Sowing Discord" mission within the Ryujin Industries questline, offering tips and strategies to successfully complete it.
What is the Sowing Discord Mission in Starfield and How do you unlock it?
"Sowing Discord" is a pivotal mission for Ryujin Industries, demanding discretion and strategic thinking. The objective is to disrupt an agreement between Quantum Synergies and Infinity LTD. This mission includes influencing key executives' decisions and replacing a presentation to discredit Quantum Synergies during a board meeting.
To embark on the "Sowing Discord" mission, you must first complete the "Access Is Key" faction mission for Ryujin Industries in Starfield. Once accomplished, the mission becomes accessible from your Mission HUD under the Faction Tab.
Before diving into the Astral Lounge's high-stakes corporate dealings, thorough preparation is essential:
Read the Dossiers: Imogene, your contact, provides you with dossiers containing information about the two key executives, Arthur Cruz and Zola Adisa. Reading these dossiers will equip you with crucial insights for persuasive conversations.
Swap Presentations: Your mission involves swapping Nina Hart's original presentation with a tampered version. This action aims to undermine Quantum Synergies' credibility.
Attire: Imogene provides you with a Fitted Business Suit to ensure you appear the part of a corporate insider during the mission.
