You’re exploring Dazra, the main city in Starfield’s Shattered Space, when you unexpectedly encounter two brothers embroiled in a heated argument.
The altercation stems from Amila, the younger and more impulsive brother, attempting to sell their mother’s ashes for quick money. His older brother, Borhal, is understandably enraged and challenges Amila to a duel to the death. To complicate matters further, their sister Danika enlists you as Amila’s second in this deadly scenario.
Your mission is to attempt to dissuade them from fighting. However, they are adamant about going through with the duel, which leaves you in a difficult predicament. Fortunately, Danika provides you with a tranquilizer, presenting you with a tough choice: should you tranquilize one, both, or neither of the brothers?
Should You Tranquilize Amila, Borhal, Both, or Neither?
So, we can’t tranquilize Danika?
Whichever option you choose, someone will inevitably be unhappy, so let’s dive into the various outcomes.
- Tranquilize both: This option results in “everyone survives, but no one is satisfied.” You use tranquilizers on both brothers, and while Danika expresses gratitude for the temporary peace, their animosity resurfaces quickly. There’s even a subtle hint that the tranquilizer might be toxic. You receive a reward of 4000 credits, but the family feud remains unresolved.
- Tranquilize neither: If you prefer a straightforward approach and let them fight, Borhal emerges victorious, leading to Amila’s death. It’s a harsh outcome, and Danika’s sorrow is palpable. However, you leave with 5000 credits and one less bickering brother in Dazra.
- Tranquilize Amila: In this case, Borhal still wins, resulting in Amila’s death — a tragic fate akin to allowing them to duel. Danika is heartbroken, Borhal is triumphant, but guilt soon envelops you. Nevertheless, you still earn 5000 credits.
- Tranquilize Borhal: This scenario is particularly messy. Amila ‘wins’ by default, but he is hardly thrilled about the outcome. Danika is outraged that you spared Amila, and you exit with 5000 credits along with a mountain of family tension.
The Duel: The Best Outcome
Leave the fighting for another day.
If you’re seeking peace of mind and a decent reward, tranquilizing both brothers may be the best course of action. While it’s a temporary solution, at least everyone is alive… for now.
Should Borhal meet his demise in this outcome, you can discover a bottle of alcohol on his corpse, suggesting that not everything is what it appears to be.
This moment is just one of many choices you will face in Starfield, particularly within the Shattered Space narrative. If you’re diving into this Vaa’run adventure, be sure to check out our guide on the best weapons in the game and how to acquire a vehicle.
