Mass Effect: Andromeda Collector's Edition Guide › Secondary Ops

Task: Better Crafting

Mission Type: Additional Task

Prerequisite: When the Vortex is accessible

Start Location: Nexus

Unlocking: Speak to Anan, the female bartender at the Vortex

Speak to Anan

Nexus: The Vortex

Speak to Anan T’Mari (1), the female bartender behind the bar in The Vortex on the Nexus. She says her customers are complaining about the limited drinks menu and is wondering if you can help by finding some more drink ingredients—you get to test the drinks for free if you help.

Search for Supplies in the Hyperion Atrium

Hyperion: Atrium

Find the hops (2) in the small control room you reach just after the tram entry stairs and the stairs leading into the atrium. As soon as you enter this room, pivot to the right and find the hops in a box on the floor. Scan it.

Take the Milky Way Hops Back to the Vortex

Nexus: Vortex

Return to Anan T’Mari (1) and give her the hops you found on the Hyperion.

Search on Kadara

Sulfur Springs

Follow the navpoint (3) in Kadara to Sulfur Springs, a vacationer’s dream. There’s a forward station near the hops you’re looking for, along with a gang of Outlaws with serious mobile fortification. Collective! Raiders! Dropships! Take care of these impossible odds—you have some hops to grab.

Once the chaos is over, scan and pick up the hops. They’re in the acid pool on one of the islands. Scan it. You’re done.

Take the Kadara Sample Back to the Vortex

Return to Anan T’Mari (1) and give her the hops you found on Kadara.

Search on Havarl

The hops here are in the damp tunnel that leads to the Remnant monolith where the angara are in Remnant stasis. Select this mission and follow the glowing navpoint to get you close. Scan the fungus on the side of the rock below the glowing plants to secure the hops.

Take the Weird-Looking Havarl Hops Back to the Vortex

Return to Anan T’Mari (1) and give her the hops you found on Havarl. If you’ve found hops at all the listed locations, this ends the mission, and you earn a good amount of XP.
