Follow this Mass Effect: Andromeda walkthrough to infiltrate the Archon's flagship, locate Pathfinder Raeka, and navigate the Salarian Ark Paarchero and the Verakan.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Pilot the Tempest to the Tafeno system and dock with the Archon's flagship.
  2. 2
    Onboard the Salarian Ark Paarchero, head north, read a Datapad, loot a container, and interact with a Terminal to activate the Information Wall.
  3. 3
    Listen to propaganda on the Information Wall to find a hidden distress message.
  4. 4
    Proceed east to the cryo bay, scan a Kett Forklift, and move through a door to the east into the medical ward.
  5. 5
    Scan a Salarian body on a bed, examine the console to learn its identity, and scan an Adapted Initiative Core Tech device for 100 Milky Way Research Data.
  6. 6
    Use the Medical Terminal to confirm Salarian duplicity.
  7. 7
    Return to the cryo pod room, scan three pods on the southern end to locate Pathfinder Raeka.
  8. 8
    Use a nearby Console to revive Pathfinder Raeka.
  9. 9
    After Raeka discusses the Salarian Ark's trials, Ryder and her team will lead the infiltration of the Archon's flagship, the Verakan.
  10. 10
    Upon entering the Verakan, you will be attacked by Kett Chosen and a Destined. Defeat them.
  11. 11
    Ascend ramps to a Kett Console, which will reveal the location of the Archon's private chambers.
  12. 12
    Raeka will contact you with plans for a Salarian strike team; head to the northeastern corner of the docking chamber to meet them and use SAM to set them on their way.
  13. 13
    Return west, go through two doors to an empty armory, and loot the container.
  14. 14
    Continue up a ramp and through a door to the west into the Hangar.
  15. 15
    In the Hangar, which is heavily populated with Kett (Destined, Anointed, Chosen), you can either fight your way through or attempt to reach the western door for relative safety. Seek high ground if fighting.
  16. 16
    If you clear the Hangar, drop to the bottom floor to loot a container, listen to an Audio Log, and read Datapads.
  17. 17
    Proceed through doors on the western side of the Hangar (or from the middle floor) to a smaller chamber. If you came through the middle floor doors, you'll find a Kett Core Encryption Tech device (worth 100 Heleus Research Data).
  18. 18
    Make your way north through a doorway and turn east to find a Kett Scientist. Loot a container down a side passage, scan two Cryogenic Stasis Pods.
  19. 19
    Go through a door to the west to reach the Gun Battery. The exit door will lock as you attempt to proceed.
Tips
  • In the Hangar, if you choose to avoid conflict, make your way to the western end of the room.
  • If you engage the Kett in the Hangar, seek high ground for a tactical advantage. The eastern end of the room offers indestructible cover.
  • When dealing with the Gun Battery, be prepared for a large Kett engagement after the door locks.
  • Adapted Initiative Core Tech (100 Milky Way Research Data)
  • Kett Core Encryption Tech (100 Heleus Research Data)
  • Discovery of Pathfinder Raeka
  • Access to the Archon's private chambers
