Out of the Frying Pan

Follow our step-by-step guide to complete the 'Out of the Frying Pan' quest in Mass Effect: Andromeda, from finding Grayson Wessler to rescuing Remi Tamayo.

Alright, so you've been talking to folks and you're ready for another mission. After chatting with Vehn Terev during “Hunting the Archon,” you'll want to head down to the southernmost part of Kadara Port. Look for the door labeled “The Docks,” and then make a sharp turn east. You'll find a guy named Grayson Wessler hanging out near some crates under a set of stairs. He's got a bit of a problem – he messed up and exiled an innocent woman, Remi Tamayo, into the dangerous badlands, and now he's too scared to fix it himself. SAM might chime in here if you're feeling skeptical, but just agree to help him out (which really means helping Remi).

Your first stop is the slums. Take the lift down and head north until you hit the checkpoint that separates Kadara Port from the badlands. Here, you'll need to talk to the Warden, a Krogan who's basically in charge of this area. Confirm that Remi Tamayo is indeed out in the badlands. The Warden will let you know she was last seen with someone named Johan, and that encountering Johan's group is definitely not going to be a friendly chat.

Now, gear up and head into the badlands. From the first Forward Station you find, follow the road east until you reach a fork. Take the south path. Keep going south and southeast, passing a Collective camp and another Forward Station. Eventually, the road will curve east and lead you towards some structures. The building you're looking for is south of the road, just before it turns north again. It's pretty distinctive – an elevated building held up by a support pylon. You'll need to fight your way through Johan and his crew here. Watch out for his goons: an Anarchist, a Berserker (that Krogan can take a beating!), a Pariah, and some Sharpshooters. Once they're dealt with, head up the stairs and go inside the structure.

Inside Johan's base, you'll find a rather grim scene. Thankfully, Remi is still alive. Find the Cell Control Panel and activate it to free her. Once she's out, have a chat and listen to her story. After that, just give Grayson a call to wrap things up. You'll get 29 AVP, boost Kadara's viability by +2%, and earn 530 XP. Dealing with dangerous cannibals definitely makes the place a bit more livable, right?
