Mass Effect: Andromeda Collector's Edition eGuide Secondary Ops

Task: Gone Dark

Mission Type: Additional Task

Prerequisite: Complete “Meet the Resistance

Start Location: Voeld

Unlocking: Scan any of the angaran bugs

Locate and Scan Resistance Bugs in Kett Camps

Voeld: Near Angaran Resistance Base

Four consoles with magnifying-glass icons above them are randomly located at static kett crash sites or campsites. We’ve numbered the kett sites they’re most likely to appear at on our map, but we’ve also marked additional positions—more than you need—in case the consoles don’t show up at the numbered sites. Use the scanner on each console you find, and search all around it for a small round glyph. Scan it—that’s the bug. SAM needs you to find and scan four bugs in order to narrow the signal source to a single transmission location.

Angaran Bug 1

You’re likely to come across this kett ship crash site (1) as you descend the steep mountainside while leaving the angaran Resistance base. Look for fire on a small strip of ice in a small gully. Defeat the kett and scan the glyph-like symbol on the console.

Angaran Bug 2

This kett site (2) is just south of the first one in the open ice lake.

Angaran Bug 3

This angaran bug (3) can be found near the forward station closest to the north holding site. It’s on the second level of the kett drill platform.

Angaran Bug 4

This angaran bug (4) can be found in a kett campsite on the ice river.

Angaran Bug 5

This angaran bug (5) can be found in a kett campsite on the ice near Ja Niihk dig site.

Angaran Bug 6

This angaran bug (6) can be found among a burning kett shipwreck on the north side of the kett mountain base.

Locate the Broken Signal

After the fourth scan, SAM finally comes up with a navpoint to the mobile connection for the last bug. Travel to Ja Niihk dig site (7), then head into the underground caverns of the destroyed kett base. Follow the pathway to the caves, but don’t go all the way into them; look for a dead body at a small cave opening on the right side of the pathway.

Examine the Datapad

Take the datapad from the dead angara. It’s titled “For Whoever Finds This…” The brave angara shut down the communications link so the kett couldn’t use it against the angaran scouts. Ravlor (the dead guy) wants you to take this info to Davja Kaas.

Return to Intelligence Officer Kaas

Voeld: Angaran Resistance Base

Head to the Resistance base main headquarters room and speak to Davja Kaas (8), who’s standing next to the holo-globe. During the conversation, tell him you found the technician. He thanks you, and you earn a good amount of XP.
