Follow this Mass Effect: Andromeda walkthrough to complete the Missing Science Crew quest on Voeld, including the Architect boss fight strategy and rewards.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Return to the Voeld settlement and speak with Priya Blake. Agree to help find her missing drill technicians.
  2. 2
    Leave Priya's building and find a datapad in another building to the north within the outpost. This datapad will reveal the location of the missing crew.
  3. 3
    Fast travel to a Forward Station on the eastern edge of the map and drive to the navpoint, which is near a Mining Zone.
  4. 4
    Scan the bodies you find and the datapad near the wreck to learn about the seismic activity and the cause of their demise (Remnant).
  5. 5
    A new navpoint will appear to the southeast. Drive your Nomad down the valley to a Kett base where you will encounter the Voeld Architect.
  6. 6
    Prepare for the boss fight. The Architect will summon minor Remnant, use a rapid-fire laser, launch energy mines, and perform a charged-up beam attack.
  7. 7
    Use cover to avoid the rapid-fire laser and stay mobile to dodge mines and the charged beam. Utilize heating rods for life support if needed.
  8. 8
    Damage the Architect's leg conduits first, then its head conduit. The head conduit will only become exposed after sufficient damage to the leg conduits.
  9. 9
    After destroying a leg conduit, the Architect will move. Follow it and find new cover.
  10. 10
    After destroying the second leg conduit, the Architect will move to the northern part of the battlefield. Make your way northwest to a collapsed Kett structure to finish the fight.
  11. 11
    Once the Architect is defeated, interface with its head to neutralize it.
  12. 12
    Collect the lucrative container left behind, which contains the Fusion Mod of Hovering I and a Remnant Data Core.
  13. 13
    Loot other containers around the battlefield and any Platinum nodes.
  14. 14
    Return to the Voeld outpost and report back to Priya Blake to complete the quest.
