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

Task: Catch and Release

Mission Type: Additional Task

Prerequisite: Complete “Return to the Tempest” after visiting Aya in “A Trail of Hope”

Start Location: Voeld

Unlocking: Scan an angaran body with a kett tracking chip implant

Scan the Angaran Bodies

Voeld: Near the South Remnant Monolith

Scan four dead angaran bodies. They appear randomly at a few of many static kett ship crash sites. Defeat the enemies around each site and scan the area closely for angaran bodies. These bodies, when scanned, are revealed to contain kett implants that track the movement of the angara. You only find one angara at each site, so you have to visit multiple kett sites to find all the angara.

Angaran Body 1

The first angaran body is often found at the crash site (1) in the ravine not far fromthe angaran Resistance base.

Angaran Body 2

This kett camp, the dig site and the side of a hill, usually features a kett battle and a dead angaran to scan (2).

Angaran Body 3

This scene near the dig site usually involves a battle and a dead angaran (3).

Angaran Body 4

Defeat the kett on the ground and those arriving in a dropship when you reach this smoking ship crash (4) in the east. There’s usually an angaran body at this one.

No Bodies? Keep Driving

The angaran bodies are placed randomly at the kett sites. If you don’t find them at the sites we’ve listed, keep driving up and down the north river (west to south and back again). There are so many Remnant, kett, and ship crashes that you’ll eventually find them all on this strip.

Enter the Tracking Signal’s Location

SAM reverses the slave tracking signals to locate their source. Follow the navpoint (5) to a cave east of Techiix.

Eliminate the Kett

Defeat the many Wraiths, the Anointed, and the Chosen.

Cut Power to the Cage

Once the enemy is clear, cut the power to the cage holding the angara inside the cave.

Talk to Maarevet

Maarevet is the angara you just saved. Head to his cell and talk to him. He thanks you and says he’ll head to Havarl to have the tracking chip cut out of his neck.
