Follow this Mass Effect: Andromeda guide to locate the Turian Ark survivors on Havarl, fend off Roekaar attackers, and learn about their missing Pathfinder.

Alright, so you've just wrapped up the "Helping Havarl's Scientists" quest. Now, it's time to get back to the Pelaav Research Station and have a chat with Kiiran Dals. He'll update your current quest, and then Assistant Torvar will give you the coordinates for the Turian encampment. Your next move is to fast travel to the Forward Station located east of the Pelaav Research Station. From there, make your way north, navigating across some rocks until you reach a river cutting through the jungle. It's more of a stream, really, or maybe just a big puddle, but follow this little waterway east, then southeast, and finally south through the dense jungle.

This stream will eventually lead you to the massive Remnant trench that slices across Havarl from north to south. Don't worry about exploring that just yet. Instead, head uphill and keep pushing south until you stumble upon the Turian camp. You'll find it under attack by a squad of Roekaar, and yes, there are quite a few Sharpshooters among them. Take them all down. Once you've cleared out the initial wave, more Roekaar will arrive from the north via a dropship, deploying behind you.

After you've dealt with all the Roekaar, take some time to loot the area. There are plenty of containers scattered around, plus some Nickel and Platinum nodes if you need to gather resources. Head to the north or northwestern part of the camp to find an Adapted Initiative Core Tech device that you can scan. Once you're done scavenging, find and speak with the Turian Leader. After a bit of an unnecessary aggressive display, this Turian, Avitus Rix, will calm down and apologize for his earlier behavior. He'll then hand over his credentials and tell you what little he knows about the Turian Ark and their missing Pathfinder, Macen. At this point, the quest will go on hold. You've made contact with some survivors from Ark Natanus, but there's more to uncover later. For your efforts, you'll be rewarded with 29 AVP, a +2% boost to Havarl viability, and 530 XP.

This quest isn't truly over yet; it'll conclude later when you visit Kadara. After progressing through some story-related tasks on Kadara and leaving, check your Email Terminal. You'll find a message titled "Got a Lead on Ark Natanus." Reading this email will officially end this quest and kick off the follow-up, "Turian Ark: Lost But Not Forgotten."
