Starhawk Walkthrough
Emmet Graves needs your help, he wants to explore the wild frontiers of space in Starhawk — and our full walkthrough will help you survive. Space is a dangerous place, mostly due to something called “Rift Energy” which is a valuable but deadly commodity. One day, Emmet is enjoying a leisurely day of mining, the next he’s partially exploded thanks to a mutant Outcast attack and infected with rift radiation. A hop and a skip later, and Emmet is a hired gun trying to control his mutations. I’m sure we can all share that problem.
Below you’ll find our full walkthrough for the singleplayer portion of Starhawk. For a deeper look into the unknown, take a dive into the trophies and cheats page.
