Stuck at 98% completion. Can't find new quests.

I got to 99% on first playthrough and thought I got everything and due to bugs wouldn't get higher. But on 2nd one, I just hit 100% and that is WITH bugged Noman shield crafting still stuck in Journal and 99% Heleus clusters scanning (every individual system I hover-over shows 100% yet the overall percentage on Galaxy Map view says 99%). Discovered few new little side quests that seem to have pushed me to 100%.

So I say you did miss some things.

First things to check - unmarked quests you get by scanning/picking/destroying objects with White Icon markers in Kett/Outlaw/Remnant Outpusts on 4 big open-world planets. These spawn randomly so lots of driving around may be needed.

Eos has 3 to find in Remnant/Kett bases + scanning 10 dead bodies for Lexi around Site 1/2 area. Don't forget to exhaust all conversation options multiple times with Prodromos team, they give out quests too. Probe Retrieval quest, if bugged, may count for completition too. You should pick it up at Prodromos first before scanning any probe out in the field.

Voeld has 4 outposts unmarked quests (white markers) to find + separate quest with 3 datapads to find outside outpuosts where historical battles took place. There are also unmarked quests you get by driving to specific locations, like helping Angara resistance fighters from Kett attack, or the sniper quest near the central Angara base. Check back first Voeld base after establishing outpust, the religious lady in medical center will have new side quest.

Kadara has 2 outpusts chains (white marker objects to scan/destroy etc) + unmarked Cerberus side quest, potheads side quest which I would advise to pick up before unmarked Nexus refugee side quest (so that they ask you to get a lamp for their weed before you're given it by one of the Nexus refugee folks).

Eladeen has 4 outpost unmarked quests + unmarked quests like a scientist in the sinkhole (broken ship) + another quests with retrieving drive cores from the "bigger" Remnant sites (not to confuse with smaller Remnant outpusts).

Of course all 4 of these planets have Architects, you need to kill them and then scan them from space.

Recruiting Resistance fighters may also count. There are 3 - 1 on Voeld (the sniper from an unmarked side quest in front of central base), 1 around central Kadara (she calls you out as you drive the Nomad and may be hard to spot) and one in Paradise on Eladeen. You need Jaal in squad to get them to join the Resistance, after that talk to Resistance leading lady in first Voeld base to confirm their arrival.

Go back to each hub (Kadara, Aya, Nexus) and talk with everyone again to see if they have new side quests to give or if you missed anything, quite possible, check hub maps too. I missed a side quest on Kadara first time in port jail, guy asks you to deliver a message to his Asari "girlfriend" in slums club. On New Game+ I also got new side quests from one of the elite Angara military units in Nexus cultural center (doing some combat tasks on Voeld).

100%, 99%, 98% completion....y'all need Jesus in your life.

I found him under the bed. Told him to get the hell out. 😉

First I would like to comment that I've seen the % completion score go DOWN a couple of times after successive save games where there should have been no change, so I don't know how the game computes it, but it's wierd as heck.

Second, I've had quests pop-up in conversations where there was no "!" on the map to indicate that there was a quest. This happened in various places, but in particular in Kadara after I had completed a major quest line. There was no quest icons on the map, but every other NPC was giving me a quest when I spoke to them. So it's very possible that you have missed quests that you don't know about.

So anyways, good luck with 100% :-p Personally I won't bother, game is not friendly enough for completionists.

you guys have way more patience than I have. I'm not even going attempt it. Forgedda about it.

When you're so much of a completionist that you just can't refuse a quest in ME:A...

Okay, so I found the resistance fighters to recruit on Voeld and Elaaden, but not Kadara. I do remember a female voice over my intercom saying something like "Don't come any further," and finding her barricaded up; however, I don't recall where exactly that was. That was many, many missions ago and my memory sucks lol.

Also, does hidden caches count towards completion? Because I've gotten all but one; the bugged cache in New Tuchanka.

Oh, and those mines at the Remnant site on Voeld (Strange Beacon) don't ping, and are unscannable. I've driven around that site and area for over an hour with the text "Sweep minefield to escape" still showing. So as far as I'm concerned, it's now bugged and can't be completed unless Bioware patches that quest.

Yeah I don't understand it either. I found one more quest on Aya that pushed me to 99%, yet the galaxy map says 98%. It's weird as I've travelled and scanned every system and every anomaly. So I guess now it's just the Nomad shield research quest and the Strange Beacon quest left, and I'm certain once those two are able to be completed, I'll hit the magic 100% lol.

 Yup, I have that bugged quest as well. It's actually the only one remaining for me and it wasn't fixed with the 1.05 patch.

Oh well, it's not like they even give you a reward for 100% completion, some fancy looking armor or special effect. Sad.

Huh. I did the sniper thing, got the "strange beacon" quest. Didn't trip any mines, did scan something in the middle of a kett encampent and got the quest finished.

If i remember correctly she's on the north east side of the map. Not at home atm or I'd check. Jaal convinces her to join. I wanna say near that Monolith.

As for the sniper thing and mines, there were sooooo many over a wide area. Took me forever.
