Mission Type: Allies and Relationships
Prerequisite: Must have spoken to Director Tann about settling Eos during Mission 1 Priority Ops mission “Nexus Reunion”
Start Location: Nexus Operations
Unlocking: Speak to Director Tann about settling Eos
Speak with Tann
Nexus Operations
After speaking to Director Tann (1) for the first time, you unlock “Getting to Know the Nexus” and this challenge, “Missing Arks.” This initiates a series of missions involving the salarian, asari, and turian arks. These are B-stories where each ark is connected to a future team member, and each becomes a mission that can help you earn their loyalty.
Find Leads on the Asari Ark
Voeld
Following Cora’s B-story leads you to a search for the Periphona, a ship that escaped the asari ark, the Leusinia. The ship is found wrecked on Voeld during “Cora Harper: Asari Ark.” The transponder eventually leads you to the ark. This find completes this “Missing Arks” objective.
Find Leads on the Turian Ark
The turian ark’s arrival in Andromeda was met with internal sabotage and a collision with the Scourge, which resulted in its destruction. Most of the turians escaped, but the SAM Node and turian Pathfinder are missing. Her successor, Avitus Rix, a former Spectre, enlists your help locating her in the Havarl quest “Turian Ark: Not Dead Yet.” Once you advance the Priority Ops to the point of interrogating the prisoner at Kadara port, you receive an email from Avitus Rix that reveals scavengers found pieces of an ark on Elaaden. Confirming you received the email completes this objective.
Find Leads on the Salarian Ark
Finish the Priority Ops mission “Hunting the Archon” to complete this objective. During this mission, you can choose to save the captive salarians or save the krogan. Either way, the salarian ark is discovered—the kett are tethered to it in this mission.
