The TRAGIC Tales of The Mantis - Starfield Lore 

So Dorianne failed her son so much she got him killed. A+ parenting

A couple of theories: 1) Grandma is the previous Mantis. It would explain why she didn't settle in a system, why she's tough to find, why she's not afraid of pirates,and why she's alone. 2) Wearing the armor causes ships to flee on planets/moons at a higher rate. Can't come close to proving that but in my limited testing the difference has been night and day.

The razor leaf is the best part of this questline

The Mantis: Cool Idea. Cool Quest line. HIDEOUS armor. The armor goes immediately into the cargo hold, even if it RNG's good stats.

I love that the sequence of the Mantle of the Mantis both started and ended with 'guilt' where up to Dorianne all the other's were chosen for their competency

You missed one thing at the Tyrannis trap. If you go past the door to the trap, there's a hackable terminal there you can use to disable the turrets

Just thought i'd point out buy you can get this slate on any random spacer, i got mine off someone on a base on Luna.

This reminded me of the 90's TV hero series the mantis.

if only we could start going around the galaxy as the mantis and finally meeting Dorianne

I love how the Spacers all shit themselves when they see the ship. :D

My first thought since I am a sucker for 90s adventure movies was "cool space The Phantom" The only thing that was a missed opportunity for me was not having a unique old earth 1911 maybe called the Phatom as a cute little homage

If The Mantis' gear wasn't so freaking ugly I'd be a much bigger fan 😭

I keep re-loading until the backpack has the stats I want - everything else goes into storage :D I hope that your move goes well.

I'll probably be waiting to see a mod for this for a very long time: "Annoying bird, I am the great Leon!"

Its a shame there werent more quests like this in SF. Reminded me of the mystress of mystery quest in 76 in the best possible way. What an absolutely great ride. Want more quests like these

20:15 the Todd light is crazy

Currently playing a character named Leon, and deliberately not taking the Secret Base slate, so when I NG+, I can play *that* Leon.

I like to give the suit to Omari Hassan I imagine him going back to his family in Akila on downtime and his kids being hyped thinking their dad's a badass

"I am the terror that flaps in the night!" It's one of the best parts of the game. The outfit looks _awful_ though. I wish you could do a Mantis-playthrough, where you can go through various storylines _as_ the Mantis.

11:05 I just realized a gang is recognized as a legitimate part of the freestar collective....

You can talk to Cora Coe about it, and get a fun bit of dialogue.

Interesting , Thank You. Good job Becka , Thank You

Dorianne should have personally shown him what she was doing and her lair the moment she decided to make him her successor or at least as soon as she knew that she was dying, in order to secure her succession. Especially to prevent him to be accidentally killed by one of the countless security messures of her lair.

the enemies NPC don't react to your wearing the suit HOWEVER people in new atlantis mostly the guard DOES reckognise the armor

My favourite part of Razorleaf is that you're still seen as The Mantis even if you completely rebuild it from the ground up. Every time I enter The Unity, my first priority is to obtain Razorleaf to use as a base template.

such a good quest

That was good, well done sporty🍻🤟

I fought hard to get the Mantis set, but finally i undertstand is useful just for stealth set up [shadow sniper]. I keep pack and spacesuit on my storage, but i buff helmet and it works really cool. My main set up in HARD MODE is: 1. Main weapon; Blue Berserker Tactician's Advanced Big Band [phys/energy particle beam shotgun] Extended barrel, Recon Laser Sight, Reflex Sight, Focus Nozzle, Ergo Stock, Annihilator Round, Amplifier. I don't buy golden or purple weapons, i like craft my own weapons. 2. Back weapon: Blue Berserker Lacerate Commander´s Refined Orion [energy Rifle] Lacerate, Long Barrel, Recon laser sight, Medium Scope, Focus Nozzle, Stabilizing Stock, Tactical Battery, Amplifier. 3. Space Suite. White Bounty Hunter [Phys 140/ Energy 156 /EM 148. Thermal, Airbone, Corrosive, Radiation 15] Energy Shielding, Optimized Servos, Heavy Shielding, Gravitic Composite. A whole tank. I farmed a lot trying to find a blue Bounty Hunter Space Suit but to date i didn't find one. 4. Golden Incendiary Bounty Hunter [Phys 56 / Energy 72 / EM 64 . Thermal 30 / Airborne 10 / Corrosive 10 / Radiation 25] 02 filter 25%, Liquid Cooled +25 Thermal, Incendiary 10%, Harzard protection, Medic, Power Boosterpack (for big jumps) 5. Golden Sensor Chipped Mantis Helment [Phys 58 / Energy 54/ EM 54. Thermal 20 / Airborne 25 / Corrosive 10 / Radiation 0] Antibalistic -15% phys damage ranged weapong, Antiseptic +25% airborne resistance, Sensor Chip + 20 accuracy firing on moving, Energy Shielding, Sensor Array, Heavy Shielding, Gravitic Composites. I am a killer machine, specially on close distances and flight combat.

Greay Video !

Nobody recognizes the Mantis armor because there were NO SURVIVORS!

I turned the mantis into a badass assault freighter. Now spacers run away all the time lol.

Same

I'm always here so early lol

The mantis versus starborn

Also good luck on your move

I turned the Mantis into a giant 80m long C class ship😂

Oh you lived in PA that's where I live my one friend moved from here Texas and didn't like it lol maybe you'll have better luck

how are you in ng+ before ever doing the mantis quest, of course its easy when you are that leveled up, try it at level 10 like i did

Everyone basically has the mantis set lol even on the mods everyone replaces the mantis gear with other stuff like madalorian outfit, i even seen batman outfit as a replacer for the mantis ahah.

I never can use the Razorleaf. Almost no cargo space. I like my loot.

Sounds like the kid had it coming

Batman meets Dread Pirate Roberts .

Too bad there isnt a follow up quest like the Silver Shroud one in Fallout 4, where you decide to go all in on it or "Man, I am only wearing it for the stats man"

Hmmm alot of people watched the drug lore video. Hmmm..

Leon could not do it.

Why are you coming to texas?!

Oh yeah, this is hilarious. When you get to the Crimson Fleet story and you have both the Mantis ship and suit, you hear the usual blah blah from Crimson Fleet NPCs "If I see the Mantis, I'll kill him!" Hello? I'm piloting the Razorleaf and am wearing the Mantis Spacesuit. More lazy Bethesda writing and programming. If Bethesda were doing their job, Ikande would have said "At first we had planned for you to infiltrate the Crimson Fleet, but all the jobs you took to take out Crimson Fleet ships and your work as the Mantis makes you too high profile. Looks like we'll have to find someone unknown." Of course not. Bethesda doesn't take basic reputation into account. Figures.

Um this was a joke quest to me.

The data got wiped in the Mantis Lair because the Bethesda writers kept things shallow. So you have a new ship and a suit? Big deal. I can make a better ship. The Lair is meaningless after you clear the dungeon.

Sony pony anthem: "starfield has no lore, starfield is mid"

Hope theres a Mantis spinoff game or dlc
