Navigating the vibrant Neon city during the All That Money Can Buy quest in Starfield presents players with a crucial objective: tracking down the mysterious contact holding a valuable artifact. Working alongside Walter Stroud, your primary goal is to identify this seller inside a crowded venue without causing unnecessary disruptions. Understanding the specific visual cues and dialogue triggers makes completing this objective smooth and straightforward.
Preparing for the Meeting in Neon
Before stepping into the Astral Lounge, players must complete a few initial preparations across the city. Speaking with key contacts like James Newill provides useful background on how the upcoming transaction was arranged. Ensuring security measures are set up beforehand gives you leverage when negotiations finally begin.
Walter Stroud brief players on the exact protocol needed to initiate contact with the seller safely. You will be given a specific pass phrase, "Ramsay and Travers," which serves as your primary verification code. Keeping this phrase in mind prevents awkward missteps during the initial conversation.
Identifying the Seller inside the Astral Lounge
Upon entering the bustling lounge, searching through the large dance crowd can feel overwhelming. Instead of searching the main dance floor, navigate directly toward the main bar area. The seller, a man named Musgrove, stands near the bar counter leaning against the structure.
To confirm you have found the right person, look for a large briefcase sitting right next to him. Engaging him in conversation allows you to state the code phrase to proceed with the transaction. Once identified, he will agree to meet in the reserved VIP booth upstairs.
Navigating the Artifact Negotiation
Inside the private VIP lounge, the deal begins as Walter Stroud leads the conversation. As expected, the seller attempts to increase the price beyond the original agreement. Players can use persuasive dialogue options or security overrides to keep the deal on track without escalating into violence.
Successfully securing the artifact allows the team to proceed to the next phase of the mission. Leaving the venue quietly is essential, as rival factions in Neon may attempt to intervene. Maintaining a calm demeanor throughout the dialogue choices ensures the best possible outcome for Constellation.
