How to Save Barrett in Starfield
The best way to save Barrett is to persuade Matsura. You need to fill 6 persuasion bars in 3 turns for it. Make sure to save the game as soon as you get inside the Ransacked Research Outpost Room. In case you fail to persuade him you can easily reload your save file. Here are the options you should choose to convince Matsura.
- Dialogue Options 1
- 4 points: “Look, Barrett is more trouble than he’s worth. A lot of pirates are already dead.”
- 2 points: “You clearly get along with Barrett. You’re friends.”
- Dialogue Options 2
- 2 points: “You clearly get along with Barrett. You’re friends.”
- 1 point: “Neither of us wants to risk the worst happening…”
- 4 points: “No one has to get hurt here.”
- Using the above options, you should be able to save Barrett easily. Again, if the persuasion fails, you can always reload and try these options repeatedly.
In case you are tired of trying to Persuade Matsura then there are two more ways you can save him.
- Pay Credits: Pay 4000 Credits to Matsura and you can buy his freedom.
- Attack: If persuading didn’t work and you are low on money then you have no options left but to fight your way out of this situation.
