What Did You Do Today in Andromeda

Very limited time yesterday it was Mothers Day here.

Took the Moshae back to Aya finally, got welcomed into the city and explored etc. and discovered going to The Tavetaan and trying the paste is an actual step in the fruit scanning mission. Took off to go to The Nexus to play Poker with Gill and interview/flirt with Kerri only to discover that fun fact as the quest is not complete.

Lost Poker but was successful at flirting. Went back to The Tempest to go start/finish Eos and realised I had not checked dad's memories but had no more time.

Today will fix my mistakes and then go to Eos and do the gazillion run around missions before fighting the Architect and doing the Kett Command Centre.

Brought The Moshae home



Elbow bumps all round



To The Vault



I like the Scanner graphics

I was busy today, so not much time for playing. Tatiana Ryder did land on Eladaan, started a two RNG quests, recovered one of the medical caches for the Nexus, retook the stronghold for Barrett, and recovered Poc for Peebee.

I've been busy with medical appointments of late, and I don't think it will let up any time this month. My pup had his check-up today. I still managed to squeeze in a couple of hours of MEA.

Sara, Drack, and Jaal ventured into a Remnant vault that the Sages of Mithrava said would contain a relic needed to locate the Lost Monolith. Fighting through the Remnant worker/guardians, they found the relic -- a pre-Scourge gauntlet made for an angaran hand.

Then, they ventured across the Remnant trench dividing the Pelaav region. The Roekaar had a strong presence in the region, and their target was Taavos. Lots of scrapped Remnant, squished bugs, and dead Roekaar later, they found Taavos. Despite his hesitancy, the knowledge awakened by the relic moved him to guide the Pathfinder to the Lost Monolith. After activating the Monolith, resetting the Vault was simple. Back at the Daar Pelaav research base, it was nice to see Esmos the Sage, and Taavos the now-former Roekaar, alongside Kiiran Dals. Ryder made a big difference on Havarl.

Then, it was time to return to Eos. At Prodromos, Sara picked up a few jobs most suited to a Pathfinder. She, Drack, and Cora also talked to an Asari, Hydaria (terrible dialogue and VA 😖), who gave them some workable intel to begin the search for Ark Leusinia. They found Ana Carrell's final resting place, and returned her data and story to Prodromos. The team also took a quick trip back off-world to find a shuttle full of survivors from the Site 2 evacuation. They were in stasis in the Ericsson System, waiting for the rescue they'd hoped might come.

Back on Eos, the team headed west to explore Prodromos' now accessible surroundings. There were many Remnant sites and Kett structures to be found. Working their way north, they ended up on Sawtooth Plateau and the Sheartop. The Kett and Remnant must've gone on holiday, because the region was annoyingly deserted. Sara used that time to place an HNS Receiver, to finish deploying Eric Cambers' survey beacons, and to use the Seismic Hammers to tap underground rivers for irrigation. That last bit ended up irritating a Remnant larger than Tempest. This Architect, like most Remnant, wasn't made primarily for combat. Sara, Vetra, and PeeBee (mostly Sara) sent it packing in no time.

The nearby crew from "The Sovereign Nation of Advent" must've gotten quite the show. It was no doubt extra motivation to be understanding about Sara declining their offer to tap natural gas reserves rather than the rivers. (I thought about it for a moment. I'm sure the Remnant could easily mitigate the greenhouse gases. I simply don't want sovereign groups with grudges scattered across Heleus. The more unified and interdependent everyone is, the better.)

From there, the team descended to the Presson Dunes, where Little Duck and crew met Bane Massani. They wiped out several Kett barracks, much to Bane's enjoyment and Invictor's annoyance, he being the haughty Kett commander who wide broadcasts his taunts and threats.

I saved for the night at the base of Blackrock Tande. Fortunately, the quest into the vault atop it has triggered. Unfortunately, I still haven't found a single Kett surveillance device to trigger the other RNG quest, probably because there were no Kett for 30 minutes of game time. I'll drive around picking fights tomorrow until it triggers. I like Eos. It has lots of fun fights and great driving, cliff jumping, etc...


I kept things simple, today, sticking with my BioTech Bomber for most encounters, and my Tactical Soldier for the Destroyers I fought. There's nothing more fun for me than obliterating a crowd of enemies and seeing battle-wreckage floating and lightning arcing wildly over the electrified battlefield. 😁

I could only play for a shorter time today, as I desperately needed a nap.

Sara, Cora, and Drack explored Blackrock Tande. Most of the Kett were still on holiday, but some of them were inside a Remnant vault. They were collecting biological data regarding Eos' species. We killed them and took the data to Prodromos.

We did a wide tour of the Presson Dunes, clearing another Kett station and numerous smaller sites. We tagged another lost beacon for the Initiative, and headed back to the Sheartop to evict Invictor. That battle is always fun. I used an Overdrive Pack to quickly swap to my Tactical Soldier outside, melting the opposition at the entrance and their reinforcements. It was back to Sentinel when we breached the Base, easily handling the waves of Kett who opposed us. For Invictor, it was back to Tactical Soldier. I thought I'd killed everyone when I heard four pops across the room. It was Cora's Crusader killing a final, lurking enemy.

On the way back to Prodromos, we finally found a Kett surveillance device. I'd nearly given up on finding one during this visit to Eos. We immediately found two more at empty Kett sites we visited. Then, it was a Nomad cliff-jump back onto the Dunes. We raced to their broadcast center and cleared the place. Tactical Soldier was again the choice to hold the platform while SAM scrambled their transmission. It's incredible just how OP the autofire Valkyrie is with Invasion, Tactical Cloak, and Turbocharge running. The dead Kett just piled up where they exited their dropships. Anyone who escaped the initial hail of gunfire got staggered by Invasion and shot.

The Eos experience was finally 100%, for the moment. The team extracted to Tempest. I saved in orbit because I was too sleep deprived to continue. Tomorrow, we'll visit the Nexus before heading for Voeld.

Much like you Element Zero I had to stop in orbit over Eos after finding the Resilience Shuttle and completing everything (including random quests) except for Jennings and his crew, if I knew they'd die I'd honestly leave them there. So that's pretty much everything for Eos, Havarl and Voeld except return trips.

Have been unwell and it is sapping me energy wise and concentration wise, have had the hiccups for 5 straight days continuously. Makes it hard to shoot straight.

Not sure how much I'll get done today need to catch up on some sleep, depending on Dr's orders.

Sent these guys to Prodromos



Why aren't we settling over there looks a lot greener?



On Insanity the Nomad seems to be made of paper, Sara takes about 100 times more shots.



Not sure why Cora etc. keep commenting on how different the sky is, looks like an Australian Spring or Summer sky to me.



Stupid Advent, how many of them can there be, they'll be inbred, two headed abominations in a couple of generations. Hey we don't want to dig someone else's ditch, but we'll go make our own life really hard including digging ditches!!!! Why the hell did you join the Initiative!!!!




Hello Pretty, Eos Architect is so easy after having done the Voeld one.

Finished up the three missions I had outstanding on Eos but didn't have the energy or willpower to head to Aya to do a few tasks and then to Kadara to kick that stuff off.

Not sure if I'll play today fatigued due to illness and the EA App constantly requiring me to fully log in and tick Privacy boxes that no solution seems to fix.

Visited this place and shut down the comm's I believe it was, anyway, Sara enjoyed the view and let Cora and Drack do the heavy lifting.

Tatiana Ryder:
1. Researched and developed the next rank of some weapons and armor.

2. Went back to Eladaan.

3. Visited some Remnat sites, took out the looting Outlaws, and made some Remnant cores inert.

4. Recovered research by Dr. Okeer and returned it to the Krogan researcher.

5. Placed a lure and shot a Fiend into submission, then led it back to the Krogan colony. Told Rorik about Ljeta. Participated in a Rite of Union so two Krogan would get along.

6. Went to the derelict Remnant Ship to look for the drive core, but someone else had already taken the drive core.

7. Recovered another Angaran relic.

8. The Nomad broke down in the ass-end of nowhere. Luckily a nice scavenger was nearby who offered to help and oh he was responsible because of his EMP device. Decided to play nice and pay hin for the help.

9. Finished scanning minerals.

10. Traced an infectious disease to the source and eradicated it.

11. Scanned some Remnant devices, which led to a Remnant facility. Fought off Remnant and Scavengers (and watched a Hydra fight a Destroyer) and recovered the Remnant data.

12. Traced some explosive canisters to an Outlaw buliding. Blew up the remaining canisters.

Still looking for Little Mouse datapads.

Tatiana Ryder:
1. Placed a receiver on Eladaan. Defeated the Eladaan Architect (no Cobra missiles this time; I have been investing in the weapon skills which is starting to increase weapon damage significantly). Returned to Annea at the Paradise and collected the reward.

2. Traced Dr. Kennedy thorugh the ZK trackers. Traced her to Voeld, saved her from an attack by Roekaar and Kett while she gave birth, then had her settled on Eos.

3. Went back to Aya and helped out a Nexus pilot get more supplies for the outposts.

4. Returned to the Nexus and met with the news guy to complete the quest for placing all the receivers.

5. Went with Liam to Podromos where set up a soccer game for the locals, because that idiot wants to also infect Heleus with that abortion of a sport. (Relax, I don't hate Soccer... much.)

All the planet stuff should now be done, just the main quest and few related side hustles left to complete.

I also have 6 cryo pods I can deploy. Not sure which rewards I want yet; I got all the ones I really need.

Tatiana Ryder:
1. Went to Havarl and met with an ex-STG member named Saelen regarding a possible traitor named Aden. Went to Voeld where I scanned the Aden's equipment and his possible Kett handler. Nothing concrete, so went back to the Nexus and talked with Pathfinder Hayjer about it. Hayjer suggested scanning the apartment of another Salarian named Lon. Shared a drink with the pathfinders.

2. Investigated the Lon's room. Some evidence of recent cleaning and a data wipe, and a single fiber from wildlife on another planet. Ran into Lon on the way out. After some discussion, Lon thought that Hayjer was being extreme and seeing conspiracies where none existed. SAM traced the fiber to Eladaan and set a navpoint.

3. Went to the navpoint on Eladaan and found Saelen. Apparently this was the first meeting with Saelen, as the first meeting with "Saelen" was Aden in disguise, and the scanning he wanted would wipe the evidence the real Saelen wanted. Set up a meeting with Aden on Kadara so the Saelen could arrest him.

4. Went to Kadara and met Aden, who was disguised as Saelen. Then the real Saelen showed up to arrest him. Aden tried to cut a deal, but Ryder turned down the offer. Aden was arrested.

5. Integrated Ghost Storm technology into the Tempest and prepared to go to Miridian.

Tatiana Ryder:
1. Returned to Khi Tasira with the data to locate Meridian. But the Archon hijacked the Hyperion and killed Tatiana's connection with SAM, which nearly killed her. Scott managed to restore the connection somewhat, and revived her (again).

It takes forever to kill a Kett with a level 1 Phalanx on Insanity, even with a bunch of headshots. Thankfully I managed to take out the other Kett with a bunch of grenades because an ammo box was nearby.

2. Tatiana and the crew flew to Meridian. With the help of the Nexus and a bunch of friends and allies across the cluster, they kicked the Archon's ass and gained control of Meridian. The Hyperion unfortunately had been hijacked and crashed on Meridian, but Dunn survived.

I think this was the first time the entire end sequence and fight completed without any bugs or glitches for me. Yay!

3. Appointed the Moshae as interim ambassador. Conversations with the crew. Scanned the new system. Watched as Habitat 7 started being terraformed the "old-fashioned" way.

4. Returned to the Nexus. Had the final interview with Keri. Saw Kesh's clutch of eggs.

5. Movie night.

100% game completion. Level 77. Time played: 92:24:33.

Well done on the 100% that's been completely bugged for me from the first PT I can never get past 99%, I even used a guide to make sure I didn't miss anything on a few PT's.
