Hong Kong is a country renowned for its breathtaking landscapes and captivating destinations that have enchanted travelers for years. Regrettably, in the world of Starfield, most of these beloved locations have faded into the annals of history. However, there is one iconic Hong Kong structure that has managed to defy the ravages of time.
Players can embark on a unique journey by uncovering a special item that grants them access to the International Commerce Center, an awe-inspiring supertall skyscraper that once dominated the Hong Kong skyline. While this singular structure stands tall in the game’s present day, it’s a poignant reminder that the rest of Kowloon, with its rich cultural tapestry and immersive experiences, has vanished into the annihilation of time. This revelation may come as a poignant disappointment to enthusiasts of titles like Stray and Shenmue 2, who may have hoped for a more extensive homage to this beloved locale within the Starfield universe.
How to Visit the International Commerce Center (Hong Kong Landmark)?
To locate the Hong Kong Landmark within the Starfield game, you’ll want to get your hands on Maurice Lyon’s Journal. Just to give you some background, Maurice Lyon is the curator of the museum in New Homestead, nestled on Titan, one of Saturn’s moons in the SOL star system – the same star system where Earth is waiting to be explored by players.
Inside the museum, you’ll find a wide array of books on display, and you might even spot Maurice engrossed in one. However, the specific book players require can be found on a metal shelf positioned to the left of the staircase leading down into the museum. After grabbing and perusing this book, a whole new activity will be unlocked, and the Hong Kong Landmark landing site will be seamlessly integrated into their Earth map.
In Starfield, the travel mechanics have a bit of a twist. Players won’t be able to use the fast-travel option while they’re inside buildings or aboard their trusty starships. To reach Earth and explore the landmark, they’ll need to step back outside. But once they’re out in the open, it’s business as usual. They can simply access their map, set their destination, and proceed with landing just like they normally would.
When players arrive at the Hong Kong Landmark landing site, they’ll be greeted by the awe-inspiring sight of the International Commerce Center piercing the heavens. As for activities, there isn’t a whole lot to engage in, apart from perhaps taking a few breathtaking snapshots using Starfield’s Photo Mode and snagging the coveted Hong Kong snow globe perched atop one of the rocks near the damaged part of the building.
Now, if “Visit the Hong Kong Landmark on Earth” happens to be their current quest, they’ll be in luck. The trusty blue quest marker should seamlessly lead them straight to their destination, ensuring they won’t miss a beat.
