Stellaris: Astral rifts

Astral rifts are a new type of narrative exploration in Stellaris that can bring great rewards, such as relics, or get your scientists killed.

To avoid constantly recruiting new scientists, I recommend following this guide:

Entertainment nexus

  • Flying vulpins, really!
  • A sample of their tissue would be particularly useful

Abandoned complex

  • Let’s search for the researchers
  • Collect samples

Chemical wasteland

  • We should investigate these robots
  • Let them approach
  • Collect data from these sanitation facilities

Hatching ground

  • Let’s get closer to them

Tropical habitat

  • Let’s find this pink gas first
  • Better to descend straight into it
  • Take samples from the deepest soil

The lattice

  • Let’s push this exploration further
  • Recover these objects

The psionic stranger

requires the Zroni precursors for the best outcome

  • We can only offer her our perspective
  • Encourage her to enter instead

The tower

  • Let’s try to communicate with it
  • Better to leave this place

The advisor

  • That wouldn’t be refused…
  • Disable this thing
  • Electromagnetic charge
  • Try to recover its core

The mechanism

  • Block a few wheels

The vortex

  • Observe
  • Observe

Entangled dark matter

  • Examine this net
  • Study the captive mass first
  • We are explorers from elsewhere
  • Offer it the body of our scientist

The microverse

  • Repolarize the hull
  • Better to observe from the edge

Lone object

  • Try to translate these glyphs
  • Scan the entire perimeter
  • Send a drone instead
  • Take a sample, then turn back

Windswept planet

  • Better to rise above the storm
  • Investigate them instead
  • Feed the mushrooms

Bleached planet

  • Prepare for contact
  • Examine one of these beings
  • Have them turn away immediately

Desert ruins

  • Have them press the blue
  • Have them press the triangle

Strange station

  • Study these people more closely
  • We welcome this new friendship between us

Subnautical

  • They should descend even deeper
  • Have them put on pressurized suits
  • Try to approach it

Rockworms

  • Coming soon
