It is possible to get the parallel power from Barret and he died too?

[gkz015]

Hello,

i try to get the power of barret from temple Sigma (Parallel power)

I have read this

https://www.reddit.com/r/Starfield/comments/16gkgl8/barret_temple_power/

To get the power, i have to start the quest worlds apart.

At this moment Sarah has the highest relationship level. On position 2 is Barret. I solved his personal quest.


I have read, that the " worlds apart" quest starts after the quest
Missed Beyond Measure walkthrough and this quest starts, if you passed the
"High Price to Pay" quest. But in this High Price quest barret dies in my starfield, because
he is on the second relationship level. And if Barret is dead, he cannot start his quest.


One workaround is, that i level up Sam or Andreja. Then would
Sam or Andreja die in the "High Price to Pay" quest. But i don't want to lose
Sam or Andreja.


It is possible to trigger the "worlds apart" quest before the
"High Price to Pay" quest starts? If yes, how?

Regards

You can save Barret if you choose to be at whichever place he is during that quest. If he's at the Eye, go to the Eye, if he's at the Lodge, stay at the lodge. That's how you make sure he does NOT die. (Of course, based on what you said, that would also mean Sarah will die).

On your first playthrough, you cannot save them both. And no, without cheating, you will not get the power with him if he's the one that dies.

So basically you have 4 choices:

1. Work on someone else's affinity to put them in position to die instead of Barret.
   
2. Save Barret by making sure you are wherever he is for that mission, letting Sarah die.
   
3. Be a filthy, rotten cheater and either console command to change affinities so he doesn't die, or just console command to give yourself the power without actually doing the mission for it.
   
4. Don't worry about the power on this playthrough, because you can just pick it up on NG+, and it's not that great of a power anyway. In NG+, if you do the story again, you can do things such that NO ONE dies.

On my first playthrough, I was in the same boat as you and I opted to let Barret die. I did not get the power in that playthrough. I'm now on NG+11, have all of the powers at rank 10, and have only used that power one time. So I feel I made the right choice.

I'm not actually sure if you can trigger the World's Apart quest before you get to the High Price to Pay, but I do not think you can. Based on several playthroughs of the game, I think that World's Apart is triggered by story progress, just like Walter Stroud's ship building mission.

Thanks for your answer. That helped me a lot.
And for me it is no option, that my love Sarah dies.

Ok, then i would said like the emperor Julius Caesar : "Alea iacta est"

Barret will die now and i play without his power.

PS.: I have found a console command "startquest 2fae" to activate this special quest.
But i will not use it. The first run i want to play without commands and glitches.

I would be wary about activating the quest with a console command before you are supposed to actually be able to get it, even in NG+. That's a recipe for breaking your save game, unless you know for sure that not a single other thing in the game is tied to it.
