Are you facing problems completing the Starfield On the Run Quest? Do not worry, here’s the complete walkthrough that will help you.

If you play Starfield a lot, you’ve probably done the exciting On the Run quest, which is one of two side missions you can do after the main goal, Shadows in Neon, is done. In this detailed guide, we’ll walk you through every step of the Starfield On the Run Quest and give you important information about the prizes you can expect.

Starfield On the Run Quest

The Starfield On the Run Quest is a fascinating addition to the Starfield universe, offering players an opportunity to delve deeper into the intricate narrative of the game. To begin your journey, follow these steps:

Go to the Red Mile

After you finish the Shadows in Neon quest and talk to Marshal Daniel Blake, your first job is to get to the mysterious Red Mile. Look at your Starmap and set your course for the Porrima star system to get here. Porrima is southeast of Cheyenne and straight east of Alpha Centauri and Olympus. When you get to the Porrima system, look for Porrima III. That’s where the Red Mile landing spot is. Be careful, because it can get very cold on Porrima III. To avoid getting Frostbite Affliction, quickly move your starship into the opening right in front of it.

Talk with Ranger Autumn MacMillan.

When you get into the Red Mile, go to the left, past the Ship Services desk, and toward the bar. You’ll meet Ranger Autumn MacMillan here. Talk to her, but keep in mind that she might not be very nice when she first meets you. Still, she will say that you might be able to meet someone who can help you find Marco Graziani.

Meet with Autumn’s Contact

Start a chat with Autumn by asking her as many questions as you want. Then, follow her to the contact’s table. Here, you’ll meet Jade, who is in charge of a small smuggler gang. Marco Graziani is currently a threat to Jade’s illegal business, which takes place outside of Freestar Collective space. No matter how you choose to talk to people, you’ll find out that Mei Devine, the owner of the Red Mile, is the key to meeting Marco.

Talk to Mei Devine

Conclude your conversation with Jade and Autumn, then proceed past the bar to find Mei Devine. Mei, elegantly dressed in red, stands near the railing overlooking the gambling floor. Initiate a conversation with her, expressing your interest in meeting Marco Graziani. Mei will agree to facilitate the meeting, but on one condition – you must undertake the perilous challenge of running the Red Mile.

Run the Red Mile

Once you’ve agreed to Mei’s condition, follow her onto the stage for the introductory ceremony. Before passing through the “Run” marked doors, it’s crucial to make some preparations:

• Stow unnecessary heavy items aboard your ship.
• Equip a Spacesuit, Pack, and Helmet offering damage mitigation, lower O2 usage, or cold protection.
• Take stock of your Aid Items, including Amps, Battlestims, Heal Paste, and Med Packs.

After making these preparations, head through the door beside the stage, proceed through the narrow passage, and open the Airlock. As you approach the “Last Chance” doorway, you’ll find a Spacesuit Workbench and a Weapon Workbench. Utilize these to upgrade your Gear and Weapons, then venture outside.

Descend the staircase ahead and take the elevator to the crater floor, where your Red Mile challenge begins.

How to Survive the Red Mile

Surviving the Red Mile is a formidable task, but with these tips, you can conquer this deadly challenge:

• You do not need to defeat every enemy; consider sprinting past Red Mile Maulers when possible.
• Beware of toxic projectiles from Red Mile Maulers, which can stagger and interrupt your actions.
• Loot corpses for valuable Aid Items, Armor, and Ammo.
• Use crates as vantage points when surrounded by enemies.
• Mines can be more effective than grenades due to the uphill terrain.
• Utilize your boost pack to prevent fall damage and sprains.

Talk to Mei Devine after you’ve turned on the Red Mile Beacon and made it back to the cantina safely. She will then set up a meeting between you and Marco Graziani. During this time, talk with Autumn and Jade about what an amazing thing you’ve done. Now that you’re done talking, go to Mei’s office, which is across from the Red Mile entry. Mei will tell you that Marco is on Codos, where he is on his ship.

One of Akila’s moons, Codos, is ready for you. Find the Cheyenne star system on your Starmap by opening it. Cheyenne is north of Narion and west of Porrima. To get to Marco’s ship from Cheyenne, choose the Fortuna landing spot on Codos.

Confront Marco Graziani

After you land on Codos, go to Marco’s ship, which is close. The person at the front desk will tell you that Marco is in the back. To get to him, go left of the receptionist’s desk and follow the pink carpet until you reach a big, ornately decorated room in the back right corner.

When you walk into Marco’s office, you’ll have to make a very important choice:

Show Marco Your Badge

If you choose to show Marco your badge, you can extract valuable information from him, but only if you agree to let him “operate with a free hand.” Ultimately, this may be the key to getting Marco to point you in the right direction.

Kill Marco Outright

Alternatively, you can choose to confront Marco and his men directly. Be prepared for a challenging battle as Marco’s men will rush to your location, and the ship’s turrets will target you.

Following Marco’s defeat, search his corpse to acquire the Encrypted Slate and Marco’s Keycard. Before leaving Marco’s office, use his keycard to access the room to the right of his desk, where you’ll find weapon cases and a computer.

Access the Terminal, select “Update Friend/Foe Settings,” and then choose “Recalibrate Friend/Foe Settings” to turn the ship’s turrets against Marco’s men.

With the situation under control, head to Mei’s office, where she’ll inform you that you can find Marco aboard his ship on Codos.

Give the Encrypted Slate to Alex Shadid

Get on board your ship and head for Akila. Land in Akila City and go to The Rock’s upper floors. Alex Shadid wants you to bring him the Encrypted Slate.
