We’re slowly moving up in the world! Here’s how to complete the Ryujin Faction Quest Access is Key in Starfield.
How to Complete Ryujin Industry Faction Quest Access is Key in Starfield
Access is Key is the fourth quest in the Ryujin Industry faction quest line, coming just after A New Narrative. To pick up Access is Key, go to the first floor of Ryujin Industries and head to Imogene’s office on the left.
Imogene will set you on the path to your next mission. A mission that will require the highest amount of subtlety yet. So, let’s get right to it.
Purchase the Starfield Access is Key Uniform
First, we’ll need to purchase a suit, if you don’t already have one. Go back to Neon Core or down the Ryujin elevator. Near the Ryujin elevator will be Ryujin’s dedicated shop. Aito, the shopkeeper, will be standing right in the center. And from him, you can buy suits ranging from 330~ to 600~ credits.
Buying this suit is optional, but I highly recommend you do it. It will make this quest significantly easier, and you’ll make your Credits back.
Head to Gagarin
Gagarin is a planet in the Alpha Centauri System. You know, the system that’s home to our very own Jemison and New Atlantis! But Gagarin is half as pretty as its Jemison sibling. From the star map or the quick travel menu, select Gagarin Landing.
Once you arrive, you’ll see a tense conversation between an investor and the security chief of Gagarin. But that’s not our business right now.
Head straight down the metal road, and you’ll find the security officer we need standing guard.
Speak to the Guard
So, here’s how it boils down. You have three options:
- Persuade the guard.
- Pickpocket the guard.
- Kill the guard and loot her body.
Persuading the Guard
Persuading the guard is the option Imogene wants you to do. To do this, you need to have the suit equipped. If it is, tell the guard you need her key card, and you’ll be forced into a persuasion check.
Fortunately, this guard is very easy to persuade. You’ll only need to get four persuasion points to convince her to part with it.
Pickpocketing the Guard
The next best option is pickpocketing. To pickpocket, you’ll need one skill in Theft. But pickpocketing is very difficult here, as the guard is frequently out in the open. Meaning you’ll be quickly detected. If you’d like to try, crouch behind her and interact with her to grab the security key.
Night will be the best time to try this, as there are fewer people about.
Killing the Guard
The final and worst option is to kill her. This will cause Imogene to deduct your pay. And if others see you kill the guard, they’ll become hostile. But once you kill her, you can loot the card off her body.
Killing her is the last resort option, as Imogene wants you to avoid being caught. You’ll get credits docked from your end pay. But if you’re dead set on doing it, try to do it from a distance with a sniper rifle. This is quite a vertical map, so there should be someplace for you to hide.
Return to Imogene
With the security card in hand, return to Imogene. Her reception for you will depend on what option you select. A perfect mission will compensate you with two MedPacks and 2,500 Credits.
