The Someone Else's Shoes quest sends you back to Stella Montis to dig into the mystery of Project Pathos, a shadowy research program tied to the androids scattered across the map. Added with the Frozen Trails update, this is a ARC Raiders quest from Celeste that chains directly off completing Home to Roost and unlocks Empathetic Prototypes once you're done. Three objectives, one map, and a control room full of secrets.
Before heading into the raid, here's the full objective list so nothing catches you off guard:
| Step | Objective | Location |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Scan any Android | Stella Montis (Medical Research recommended) |
| 2 | Find the Android in Research Lab 3 | Medical Bay, southern section |
| 3 | Reach the Control Room and search for clues | Western Tunnels, northwest corner |

Androids are scattered throughout Stella Montis in hallways and side rooms, but the fastest approach is heading straight to the Medical Research POI. There are multiple androids in this area, and since your second objective is also here, you save yourself a lot of backtracking.
Once you locate an android in Medical Research, walk up and interact with it. The scan completes instantly and ticks off the first objective. The android on the top floor, east side of the zone works well for this.
Stay in the Medical Bay after scanning the first android. Research Lab 3 sits in the southern section of the upper floor of Medical Research. Head south from where you scanned the first android and enter the lab.
Inside, look to the right. You'll find an android lying on a hospital bed. Interact with it to scan it and complete the second objective. The two android scans are close enough together that you can knock them out in the same sweep of the building.
This is the only leg of the quest that requires real travel. From Medical Research, make your way down to ground level by heading toward either the Lobby Metro extraction point or the Loading Bay POI. Once you're on the tracks, follow them toward the northwest corner of Stella Montis where the Western Tunnel POI is located.
Enter the tunnel and look for a small lit room on your left as you walk through. That's the Control Room. Head inside and interact with the subway control panel to retrieve the security footage. That interaction wraps up the final objective and completes the quest.

After pulling the security footage, extract via the Lobby Metro Station and return to Speranza to speak with Celeste. Turning in the quest earns:
The Stella Montis Medical Storage Key is the standout reward here, giving you access to locked storage in the Medical Bay on future raids. The Shield Rechargers are also solid for keeping your kit stocked.
Someone Else's Shoes sits deep in the quest chain. You need to have completed Home to Roost (and 51 earlier quests) before Celeste hands this one to you. Finishing it unlocks Empathetic Prototypes from Lance, which continues the Project Pathos thread.
If you're working through Celeste's questline and want to stay ahead of the chain, the ARC Raiders guide collection covers the surrounding quests in detail. For quests that send you into similarly dangerous territory, the walkthrough for Home to Roost covers the Blue Gate objectives you needed to clear before this one.
Somewhere between the android on the hospital bed and the flickering light of the Control Room, the Frozen Trails update makes Stella Montis feel genuinely worth revisiting. The PvP pressure is real, but the quest itself moves efficiently once you know the route.
