Mission Type: Heleus Assignment: Elaaden
Prerequisite: Complete “Conflict in the Colony”
Start Location: Elaaden: The Paradise
Unlocking: Complete your conversation with Jorgal Strux in “Conflict in the Colony”
Go to the Krogan Colony
Elaaden: New Tuchanka
Strux insists that Morda is planning a move against the Nexus. Visit the krogan colony (1) in New Tuchanka to check it out, and look for Ravanor Brenk while you’re there. Pull up to the south side of the colony and defeat the nearby Roekaar Raiders at a communications camp near the colony. Head toward the entrance to the colony and drop a forward station at their front door.
Speak to the krogan lookout at the guarded entrance. Drack helps you make it past security. If you don’t have Drack in your party, he says he’ll meet you there and help you get in.
Go to the Throne Room
New Tuchanka Krogan 2f
New Tuchanka Krogan 1f
There are multiple side quests to pick up here; take some time to fully explore the many layers that make up the desert colony. Afterward, head to the throne room. To skip exploring and go straight to the throne room, follow this route: From the entrance (1), head into the facility through the southeast entryway (2). Follow the stairwell (3) down a few levels until you reach the lowest-level landing (4).
From the lower-level stairwell landing (4), turn right into the cave (5) and continue down more stairs that lead into the depths of the caverns. At the bottom of the stairs, take the first tunnel on the left (6) and cross over a short metal interior bridge. The next large cavern you enter is the throne room.
Speak to Ravanor Brenk
When you enter the throne room, turn to your immediate right to find Ravanor Brenk (7) standing guard below the throne of Morda. Speak to him. Morda, who is well within earshot, quickly cuts off your conversation when she hears the name “Strux” dropped to get Brenk’s attention. Now the unintended party, the leader of the krogan colony, has your ear. Brenk quickly, under his breath, asks you to meet him near the fighting pit as Morda comes down off her perch to show everyone who’s boss around here. The conversation is unfriendly and uncomfortable. She’s not a big fan of the Nexus. She basically kicks you out, coming just shy of personally showing you to the door.
Find Brenk to Speak to Him Privately
If you look for Brenk’s navpoint while you’re in the throne room, it appears as if he’s still in the room with you; however, he’s a couple of levels below you. The quickest way there from the throne is to use the descending tunnel (8) behind the throne platform (rock). Head north from the throne and turn right near the guarded metal door. Follow the tunnel down to the T-intersection, where you see a metal door on the left and the right. Turn right and look up. You should be traveling under the short metal bridge (9) you crossed to get into the throne room. Continue moving down through the tunnel and head toward the sunlight. The light is coming from the fighting pit area.
Fighting Pit
At the fighting pit (10), turn right to find Ravanor Brenk (11) next to a terminal. Talk to him privately, and he asks if you saw the crashed ship on your way down to Elaaden. Morda is after the drive core from that shipwreck. She intends to use it as a bomb. You thank him for the info, and the mission ends. You acquire a good amount of AVP and Elaaden Viability +2%. Just around the corner from Brenk is an Adapted Initiative Core Tech that can be scanned for Research Data.
