What Did You Do Today in Andromeda

Yeah as an adept I sporadically put people into walls and then need to switch to infiltrator mode to find and then kill them in the wall. Good tip on annihilation field, I hadn’t thought about that one. I rarely use that power.

Shockwave is another good choice as it goes through things as well. I used singularity a lot. Witt my expand evolution it usually grabbed them and might pull them out or very slowly kill them and I didn’t need to know where they really were. Normally it doesn’t matter but the times it happens on a mission and you need to kill the last dude to progress it’s irritating.

It’s pretty damn rare though.

Vintage Heat Sinks are your friends

Always happens at the Eos main kett base. That place is a nightmare for bugs. Even if I do manage to kill them all, every time I drive by afterwards they are all back at the front, along with the turrets.

Yeah, this became glitched for me (PS4 Pro) after one of the early patches. That location is impossible to properly complete; but it is ideal for weapons testing on Kett, since they always respawn. When testing, I start there and just circle through the Press-On Dunes. I also recall the bugged Watcher you mentioned on Elaaden. He’s been bugged since an early patch, much like the base on Eos.


When I soon begin a new game, I think I’m going to play a Sentinel (Lance/Annihilation/Energy Drain). I never finished that PT. It has Energy Drain, so of course it’s OP; but I love detonations, and it has a great combination of aural and visual effects. I’m going to use crappier guns this PT. This build defintely favors shotguns, so I’ll try to identify and tweak a less noisy one from the assortment. For range, I think I’ll use a Ghost VHS. I love that gun, despite its goofy reverse-bloom mechanic and mediocre damage. They screwed up its beautiful white casing, though. 😒

I just finished saying that I’d not use optimized guns, but if I can’t find a semi-quiet shotgun, there’s always the Burst-fire Beam Dhan. 😆 That’s a crazy ass weapon. Pretty unique, but thoroughly broken. Not an option. If I can’t find something quiet enough to suit me, I’ll cobble a pistol to go with my Ghost and run with that. There are some pretty cool, but mechanically lacking weapon concepts that I’ve not used extensively. 

Something kind of strange working as intended^tm happened to me:

I was driving to the Flophouse on Elaaden, to get the Remnant drive core stashed there.
So I stop the Nomad at the initially sealed main building, hop out, kill two troopers. Then the next couple of exiles and two Adhi come and meet their doom -at that point I can hear (and using recon visor, see) the HydraMech at the main floor. Suddenly about half a dozen exiles, including two armoured Turians enter the fight from somewhere, and quickly overwhelm me as I was trying to flank the Hydra and momentarily without cover.

So Ryder eats dirt, the last autosave is luckily just 20metres or so from the place I wanted parked the Nomad.
Redoing the little entry, I again quickly dispatch the first two exile couples and one of their dogs (the other one clipped through some closed doors and was subsequently killed by Cora, I believe). The Turians spawn to the left on the higher level and are also done for fast this time, as their only support -two snipers- positioned in adjacent positions, so that at most one of them at a time can shoot that specific position where the fight was then. After killing the Snipers, again half a dozen new enemies spawn, but from a more distant location and more spread out. So after disposing of that wave of enemies -and several after that- It dawns on me that the Hydra is nowhere to be found! It did not clip into a wall or the ground or anything (or if it did, it was destroyed immediately and silently).
So where did it go? The Flophouse is one of the few open world fighting places with fixed enemy spawn AFAIK, so it should have been there.

Has something like this missing enemy happened to anyone else?

Anyway, after killing every last exile there and finally securing the drive core
-YES Pebee, I KNOW its right there, just let me look behind this... oh, nothing there either. Nevermind then
So after finally picking up the drive core Cora, Pebee and Ryder drove to the Remnant vault of the moon. I'm currently standing right in front of the purification field trigger, wondering if i manage to get to both of the sealed loot-spots and whether I should even try -As I'm almost out of inventory space.

The loot behind the sealed areas is (thankfully) totally not worth the time and effort to get it. It's mostly crafting material.

Is it bad that I don't remember a Hydra at the Flop House nor have ever noticed fixed spawn points there?

So, Ryder activated the vault and managed to grab the contents of both sealed areas in the process.

On the way back to the krogan colony, the team planted a lure and pacified a fiend with it, to be used in some form of rite by the shaman.
Finally arriving at the krogan colony, Jorgal Strux claimed that Ryder had sold the remnant drive core. He tried to to make Morda look incompetent and the nexus even more anti-krogan than most of them believed it was.
Of course then Drack spoiled that this wasn't the case. A I-still-don't-know-what-thats-supposed-to-be fight between Morda and Strux was quickly over. Morda got the drive core and is now back at being only able to grunt.

Anyway a new outpost got set up, so thats a win. I also finally got to craft rank7 equipment. Still the krogan shaman was waiting to perform the rite with two adversary krogan fighters. And one of the insisted on Ryder taking part.
It turns out that the shaman not only brought the one fiend caught by Ryder, but also two others!

I wonder how he did that All I can do is hectic jumping around when there are multiple of them, and he somehow managed to get three of them -seemingly unhurt- into the arena for the fight.
I must get this guy to join the team somehow: Imagine what he could do to normal kett troops! I bet even the worm on Elaaden is just jumping around the place to avoid getting captured by the shaman!

So yesterday I picked up a paused MEA PT where Sara had set up the outpost on EOS and had headed back to The Nexus.

Sara spoke to Scott in his medically induced coma and told him the bad news re Dad and the golden worlds being a bust. Watched a memory of Alec's, listened to an audio log, tried to destroy SAM Node with Dr Aridana's equations, took some hops to The Vortex and saw the start of the Karaoke. Spoke to a hacked Avina and then headed for Aya but got stopped by some ugly looking man-child alien with a god complex but thanks to SAM escaped his evil clutches and headed to Aya on fire.

Landed and was met by The Angara who were a tad unfriendly, met Jaal and talked to Evfra re the vault. Jaal agreed to chaperone us to Havarl and Voeld to prove we were trustworthy and so to Havarl we went. Spoke to Kiran and Rashel and now off to save some scientists and find some lost data.

Some pic's - Anyone using imgur have it completely change its layout etc?
