In the Delivering Devils quest in Starfield, you’re presented with a dilemma. Percival has a debt with the Trade Authority on Mars. You have a few options to help him out: pay off his debt, hack the terminal to reduce the amount he owes, or confront the space leader in the Abandoned Mines.
The real challenge? Deciding which route to pursue and understanding its implications.
What happens if you settle Percival’s debt in Starfield?
By choosing to settle Percival’s debt in the Deliering Devils quest, you’re ensuring he starts with a clean slate in Starfield. The Trade Authority on Mars will no longer have any financial issues with him, and all past grievances will be forgotten.
After you’ve taken care of this, your next step would be to have a chat with Lou, the local bartender. Start a conversation with him, answer a few of his inquiries, and he’ll provide you with valuable information: Percival’s location in the Abandoned Mines.
What happens if you change Percival’s debt in Starfield?
Modifying Percival’s debt involves a bit of tech-savviness. To do this, you’ll need to locate a computer terminal. It’s tucked away in a secured room at the Broken Eagle, specifically at the end of a stairwell behind the door located behind the bar.
To access it, you’ll need a Digipick. You’ll also find some incredible loot in the room where the computer terminal is, including a Lacerate Coachman.
The trick to lock picking in Starfield is by lining up the holes in the outer rings and with the lines.
While you have the freedom to adjust the debt from 10,000 credits down to a single credit, it’s wise to be cautious. Setting it below 1,000 credits might raise eyebrows and come off as overly suspicious, so keep it higher.
After making the adjustment, head back to the Trade Authority to settle the debt. With that out of the way, you can then engage with Lou, as mentioned earlier, to discover Percival’s location in the Abandoned Mines.
What happens if you kill the Space Leader in Starfield?
If paying off someone else’s debt, regardless of the amount, doesn’t sound like your cup of tea, you can simply head down to the Abandoned Mines, kill the Space Leader running the show, and help Percival to finish his research and clear his debt with the Trade Authority.
Should you pay Percival’s debt or kill the Space Leader in Starfield?
You should settle Percival’s debt, but only after changing the amount he owes. That way, you don’t have to pay and arm and a leg for something you didn’t do, and you can enjoy all of the loot in the room.
However, it’s still a good idea to find and kill the Space Leader anyway, since doing so yields a lot of experience, some extra loot, and it’s tons of fun.
