Starfield: Shattered Space – Who Should You Tranquilize In The Duel

Starfield: Shattered Space - Who Should You Tranquilize In The Duel

As a seasoned space traveler and avid gamer, I must say that the latest side quest in ‘Starfield: Shattered Space’, set on Dazra, House Va’ruun’s capital, has piqued my interest. The tale of the bickering brothers Amila and Borhal, leading to a potential duel, is reminiscent of the feuds I’ve witnessed across the cosmos.


In ‘Starfield: Shattered Space’, the debut planet introduced is Dazra, the headquarters of House Va’ruun. At first, the reception might not be as warm as in other cities across the galaxy, but as you explore the city streets, you’ll encounter numerous side quests to engage in.

In one of the side missions, you encounter two siblings engaged in a heated dispute that appears to be escalating towards a duel. The outcome of this mission varies based on your choices; below are all potential outcomes along with their respective rewards.

Talking To & Persuading The Brothers In The Duel

As the duel looms, you’ll find yourself with a rare opportunity – a chance to converse with Amila and Borhal prior to the contest. While you can swiftly bring the discussions to an end to jump straight into the duel, you also have the option to delve deeper, probing their thoughts and feelings. It won’t change the quest content, but it could influence your decision-making process. Convincing these brothers to share their innermost thoughts is up to you, and the insights you gain might prove invaluable.

Following a conversation with both brothers, Danika will inform you about your role as the Second: it is to pacify both brothers so they don’t engage in a duel. When making the Ceremonial Drinks, you have the option to tranquilize one brother, neither, or both of them.

Who Should You Tranquilize In The Duel

The choice you make regarding whom to lace with the tranquilizing drinks will shape the destiny of the brothers and the conclusion of the mission. Here are the options and their respective outcomes:

In summary, this dispute doesn’t lead to any positive resolution, but the least detrimental scenario involves sedating both brothers. This option provides minimal credits, but maximizes XP rewards. Danika seems content, and there’s a chance for the brothers to make peace. If you prioritize credits over all else, there are no long-term penalties from the end of this battle, whether you choose a winner or let them fight evenly. However, Danika might grow angry with you regardless.
