After disembarking head to Dazra Starfieldthere will be plenty to do as you explore the homeworld for House Va’ruun. As you explore the city, you will discover a duel between Amila and Borhal, and there are some choices available.

There are several ways this duel between these two characters could play out. There are benefits to different ways of coping, with consequences and rewards for each. Here’s what you need to know about The Duel in Starfield shattered space and how to approach the duel between Amila and Borhal.

After you have accepted to be second to Amila in the duel, you must follow Danika, who can help you prepare for the engagement. She leads you away from the brothers, where she tells you what to expect as Amila’s second. For this mission Starfieldyour goal is to prepare the brothers for the duel and talk to them. During this time you can learn what happened between them. But no matter how much you know about them, the duel continues and after talking to them, you must return to Danika to prepare.

Due to the unfortunate anger of both brothers, who cannot find a good solution for the duel, Danika offers a solution: knock them out. She offers you Starfield character with a Tranquilizer to knock them out before the duel begins. As the second challenger to the duel, your character gives him the Ceremonial Potions, and this is where you can choose to give the Tranquilizer to both of them, or you can choose to give it to one of the two brothers.

Do you need to calm down both Amila and Borhal in Starfield?

If you give the Tranquilizer to both brothers, they will not continue the duel, because they are too weak to do anything about the fight. The two have a drink before the duel starts, but soon discover that it is about sabotage. They blame Danika and your character for this problem, but ultimately cancel the two, preventing one of them from dying a horrible death.

After this is done, Danika takes your Starfield character aside and shares that she is happy with how things turned out. While the brothers may have continued to fight, you helped prevent them from dying because of these choices. She rewards you with 4,000 Credits for your efforts, and you complete the mission and receive 300 experience points. While I think this is the best outcome for The Duel, there are three other choices for this Starfield mission.

Do you need to calm Amila down in Starfield?

An alternative to calming them both down is to do it only with Amila. Much of the setup plays out as you would expect if you choose to calm them both down. However, when they prepare to fight, Amila says that his brother, Borhal, cheated. In a fit of protest, Borhal ignores the comment and decides to kill Amila.

When the duel ends, Borhal discovers that what Amila said was true. He was drugged before everything started. As such, he fires Danika and yourself, but pays your Starfield character 5,000 Credits for their troubles, but you only earn 200 experience points.

Do you need to calm Borhal down in Starfield?

Another option you can choose is to calm Borhal down. Similar to using the Tranquilizer on Amila, Borhal accuses his brother of cheating during the duel. Amila believes he is trying to trick him, and when the two fight, Amila proves victorious over his brother, ending the fight with a swift attack.

When Amila hears what happened, he becomes more apologetic about the outcome. Although his brother challenged him to a fight, he did not want to kill his brother. He knows other people will judge him for it. Although he is happy to be alive, he is sad about his brother’s death. He pays you Starfield character 5,000 Credits for completing the duel, but you only get 200 experience points.

Shouldn’t you calm any of them down?

The final result is the choice not to appease either of the brothers. This choice allows the brothers to endure the duel without outside interference. If you follow this route, Borhal will emerge victorious and kill Amila. It’s similar to when you decide to use the Tranquilizer on Amila instead of giving it to Borhal. However, when you reveal that you did not take a sedative, Borhal thanks you for what you did. He gives you the same reward of 5,000 Credits, and you still only earn 200 experience points.
