Your Mass Effect: Andromeda walkthrough continues! Learn how to navigate the Nexus, meet its leaders, and understand the critical situation facing the Andromeda Initiative.
Alright, let's get this Nexus Reunion chapter rolling in Mass Effect: Andromeda. First things first, we need to get you oriented on the Nexus itself. Head north through the Atrium, then take some stairs down into the Hyperion - Operations room. There's a container in there you'll want to loot. After that, keep heading north, make a westward turn, and go up another set of stairs. Use the tram to get to the Nexus.
Things are a bit… quiet when you arrive, aren't they? Scan the Terrariums and Terminals around. You'll quickly figure out that the Nexus never really got up and running properly. Your next step is to find and talk to the Avina VI. It's the same AI you might remember from the Citadel, but it's been repurposed here. Be prepared for some pretty outdated and frankly, inaccurate, responses. After that little chat, head west, go around some crates, and you'll find a Construction Worker. Talk to him, but don't get too comfortable, because you'll be interrupted by a Turian named Kandros. He'll offer to escort you to the Nexus Operations center and fill you in on what's going on.
Follow Kandros west to a tram and ride it to your destination. Here you'll meet Director Tann, a woman named Addison, and a Krogan named Kesh. After some slightly awkward introductions, the Nexus leadership will explain their dire situation. Basically, the Nexus is running out of resources, and to get more, they need more people. To get more people, they need a habitable world, and to find that, well, they need a Pathfinder – that's you!
Task: Getting to Know the Nexus
This is your first real chance to manually save your game, so take advantage of it! You can also wander around, pick up side quests, do some shopping, and chat with NPCs – all the good RPG stuff. You'll also find a bunch of new Codex entries detailing what's been happening on the Nexus and introducing you to the Krogan, Salarians, and Turians. Once you're done with that, let's tackle that task that popped up after meeting the leadership: talk to them again, but this time individually. The game suggests talking to Addison, Kesh, Tann, and Kandros, ideally in that order.
To start, turn around and head up the ramp to the east. You'll find Addison in her
