How to dock on the Oracle

docking in the Oracle Shattered SpaceDexerto/Bethesda
Docking is surprisingly hard.

If you already started the Shattered Space DLC and received the distress signal, the first step in the What Remains quest is to board the Oracle. Follow these steps to dock:

  1. First, approach the Oracle structure and, as you aim toward it, press E on PC or A on Xbox.
  2. This way, you’ll see the Dock option, which is R on PC or X on Xbox.
  3. This triggers the docking cutscene, after which you’ll be inside the Oracle.

How to find the Engineering Bay controls and key

After watching Sirak and Basira chat, handle things with Basira, then talk to Sirak. He’ll ask you to locate the Engineering Bay Controls.

To get there, fly down to the bottom floor and go through the large door straight ahead. You’ll enter a room with green half-walls. Keep moving forward, and when you see an orange door on the right, go ahead and walk through it.
