The power of Stasis was first introduced during Beyond Light and along with it, the Exo Stranger was introduced, who has ties going way back and from another darker future.
With clues of what Clovis Bray has left behind, The Exo Stranger wishes to figure out more about the secrets of Europa and needs your help.
A Skeleton Key was left behind by Clovis which needs to be empowered, which then will allow it to be used.
Born in Darkness Part 1 Quest Steps
Step 1: Gather Energized Either and Use Stasis Melee Blows

- Defeat Fallen on Europa (50)
- Use Stasis melee against Combatants on Europa (10)

- Affect targets with Stasis (40)
Step 3: Defeat Weniks’s Platoon
There is a Fallen Captain who has been causing trouble in one of the exoscience buildings, you will need to head to Eternity and defeat them.

Once you arrive, the Exo Stranger will start talking to you and will ask you for the key, which you will place on the table by interacting with the table.
Step 3: Regroup with the Exo Stranger
