Follow our walkthrough to complete 'The Lost Song' quest in Mass Effect: Andromeda. Find poacher camps, track down Dr. Lekaaret, and make a difficult choice.

Hey there! Ready to tackle 'The Lost Song' quest in Mass Effect: Andromeda? It all kicks off northeast of the Forward Station outside Techiix Station. You'll find two Biologists having a bit of a spat. Chat them up, and they'll tell you about a serious problem: Nexus exiles are poaching the Angara's beloved Yevara, and they're on the brink of extinction. Sounds like a job for the Pathfinder, right? Let's go right some wrongs.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Find the Poacher Camps: Your first objective is to track down the poachers. The first camp is northwest of Techiix Station, just south of some Remnant ruins. Sadly, the poachers won't be there, but you can snag some Research Data from a Shipping Container.
  2. 2
    Second Camp and Datapad: Head further east, northeast of Techiix Station and south of another Forward Station. You'll see a massive, shielded Kett structure nearby – it's marked as a 'Cave' on your map. Follow the search area to find the second poacher camp. Here, you'll find another Shipping Container, and more importantly, a Datapad. This datapad is key, as it will allow you to track the poachers.
  3. 3
    Confront the Exiles: The next navpoint will send you southeast from Techiix Station, close to a Kett camp. You might even find quest-related spawns here for 'Task: Gone Dark' or 'Task: Catch and Release'. Head down into a ravine and keep going east under a large Kett construct. You'll soon run into some new enemies: exiles. Take them down – specifically, the Saboteur and Outlaw Raider. Scanning them will also get you progress towards the 'Aid APEX' quest.
  4. 4
    Into the Cave: Continue into a cave and clear out any Raiders acting as a welcoming party. Follow the linear path deeper into the cave, heading up a ledge and into a narrower tunnel system. You'll reach a fork. Take the northwest path to a more open chamber. If you go east down a dead end, you'll find an Iridium node you can mine. After that, continue northwest to reach another chamber where the mastermind of this poaching operation is waiting.
  5. 5
    The Moral Quandary: You'll confront Dr. Lekaaret. She'll quickly realize fighting isn't the answer and appeal to your sense of reason. It turns out the Yevara have medicinal properties, and you're faced with a tough choice: shut down her research, potentially helping the Angara in the long run but destroying a part of their past, or stop Dr. Lekaaret, preserving the Yevara but possibly at the cost of Angaran lives.
