Walkthrough Mass Effect: Andromeda. How to prepare the strongest team for the final battle in Mass Effect: Andromeda Mass effect andromeda task split in the ranks

Many of your decisions mass effect: Andromeda will seem extremely important to you, and some really are. However, not all of them have far-reaching consequences, at least in this part of the series. Some minor choices, such as at the end side quest"First Killer" looks much more significant than they really are. Yes, you face their consequences in the second half of the playthrough, but they have almost no effect on the ending.

In fact, the game features only one version of its ending. However, it doesn't end there. You can then continue your exploration of Andromeda and the completion of secondary tasks. In this guide, we will only look at decisions that will help you create the strongest army needed to participate in the final battle.

Main story quests

From scratch

You will have to make an important decision at the very beginning of the game at the end of the quest "From a clean slate". When you are on Eos and have the opportunity to place an outpost, you will be asked whether to build a scientific or military outpost. If you choose a military outpost, then at the end of the game, the Initiative militia will come to your aid.

Ray of hope

After you save Moshae, you will have a choice - make a deal with the Cardinal or destroy the kett complex. If you decide to help the Angarans (even after shooting the Cardinal), then the Resistance will support you in the battle against the Archon.

Hunt for the Archon

During your escape from the Archon's flagship, you'll have to choose between rescuing the Salarian Pathfinder and Drak's scouts. If you choose the krogan, they will appear at the end of the game and kill some relics to clear your path.

Meridian: way home

The final consequences of your decisions in the main quests depend on whether you completed a couple of missions or decided to spit on them. If you completed the Cora Loyalty mission and the Turian Ark mission, you will have four Pathfinders at your disposal, and Captain Dunn will survive the Hyperion's arrival in Meridian.

Note: The search for the Salarian Ark and its Pathfinder is part of the "Hunting the Archon" mission - if you don't rescue Raek, he will simply be replaced by Captain Hyger.

Loyalty missions

Cora Loyalty Mission

The consequences of your decisions at the end of the mission on Cora's loyalty are relatively minor - some may just show up in the final battle. It depends on you who it will be. If you choose to keep Sarissa's actions a secret (or let her remain a Pathfinder), she will appear at the end. If you replace her with Vederia, then she will come to your aid.

Peebee Loyalty Mission

During Peebee's long and confusing questline, you will have to make a choice - save Kalinda or save the relic device. If you let the asari rescue Kalinda (without shooting her), she will show up to help you in the final battle.

Jaal Loyalty Mission

In fact, the choices you make at the end of this quest have little to no effect on the ending, as Jaal's family will come to your aid anyway if you complete this quest. However, it is still worth noting that if you kill Akksul, then the roekaars will start to bring more more problems in the Eley cluster.

Loyalty Mission Fight

As with Jaal, your choice will not affect the ending, meaning Vorn will help you in the battle anyway - you just need to complete this quest.

Secondary quests

Turian Ark

To find the Turian Pathfinder, you need to complete the Not Dead Yet and Lost But Not Forgotten missions. The first task can be obtained from the surviving turians on Havarl, and the second - after the interrogation of Van Terev, which takes place during the "Hunting the Archon" quest. The second mission will take you to Natanus' ark. In the end, you just need to convince Avitus Rix to become a Turian Pathfinder. Only in this case can Captain Dunn be saved.

Truth and meanness

A long mission in which you will face a lot of tricks and intrigues. You can get it from Kallo after leaving Eos. At the end of the mission, you have a choice to make: let Dr. Aden leave in exchange for intel on the kett, or have him arrested. In the latter case, Saelen will come to your aid in the final battle.

Searching for the past

After completing the "Removal of the Heart" mission on Voeld, you will be able to obtain new quest titled "Searching for the Past". It will lead you to an ice cave where archaeological excavations are being carried out, an ancient city is located, kett are based and Angaran captives are kept. After freeing the captives and destroying the ice wall, you will encounter an old (and possibly crazy) Angaran AI. You will have two pairs of solutions. First of all, we note that, you can immediately shoot him and thereby end the mission. If you let him live, you can either keep him or hand him over to the Angarans. We advise you to choose the second option, as in this case they will use the data artificial intelligence and help you in the last fight.

Discord in the ranks

Something strange is going on in the kett ranks on Elaaden. When investigating their activity on the planet, you will be able to talk to one kett, whose name is Primus. He will tell you that not all kett are obsessed with the ideas of the Archon. Primus will offer you help in the battle with the Archon, however, for this you will need to make a deal with him. If you accept his offer, he will share with you a special code that will weaken the protection of the kett when you attack Meridian. There are no negative consequences of this decision in the game itself, but we are sure that they will manifest themselves in the following parts.

Noon

The last mission, which affects who will appear in the final battle, however, it only changes the characters who will come to your aid. In general, during this task you will need to arrive on Kadara and decide who their criminals will control the port - the Outcasts or the Collective. If you save Sloane Kelly, then she will help you in Meridian, and if not, then Reyes will appear.

The Mass Effect series has always allowed the player to shape their own adventure through the choices they make along the way. Released March 2017 Mass Effect: Andromeda was no exception in this respect.

In Andromeda, you are given the role of Pathfinder, a key position in the Andromeda initiative. The duties of the Pathfinder include finding a new home for his Ark with the colonists. In this case, human.

Such a high rank obliges the Pathfinder to sometimes make very difficult decisions, with which this guide will help you. Here you can find all the key forks in Mass Effect: Andromeda, the further direction of the plot after which directly depends on the player, and the possible consequences of choosing one path or another.

Priority tasks

Mission "On the Surface"

If a the protagonist thoroughly researched planet Dwelling-7 (i.e. completed all optional tasks) as part of this mission, Alec Ryder will note his diligence. Otherwise, your actions will go unnoticed by the father.

Mission "The Best Start"

Choice scientific outpost at the end of this task will not bring big dividends (several relevant mentions in subsequent cut-scenes), but military base will allow the Prodromos squad to join the heroes in the final mission. For its successful implementation, however, the help of Prodromos is not required.

Mission "Ray of Hope"

At the end of this quest, you will have to decide what to do with the Kett Cardinal and his "Ascension" factory. And if the fate of the cardinal does not affect anything - after thanking the hero, he will run away and will not appear again - then from factory safety depends on whether hangar resistance fighters will help (if saved) you in the final mission or not (if destroyed).

Mission "Archon Hunt"

Kadara- the first will determine the fate of Vena Terev. If you agree to cooperate with Sloane Kelly, then the Angaran traitor will not do well. Otherwise, Terev will have to be rescued himself, after which he will return to Aya as an NPC. Whatever you choose, Sloan and Reyes will comment on Ryder's decision.

Archon Flagship- the second will determine Salarian Pathfinder and will seriously affect Fight attitude to the main character. If you decide to help Drak's scouts, the krogan will be very pleased, and his fighters will help you with the final task. Raeka, however, will die, and subsequently Hayger, the captain of the Paarchero, will have to be persuaded to take her position. By choosing Raeka and her soldiers, you will incur the wrath of Drak (in especially neglected cases, he can leave Ryder’s squad forever), and his scouts will be turned into “behemoths” that the heroes will face until the end of the game.

Mission "Meridian: the road home"

As part of this mission, you will have to make two important decisions:

• If you completed the task A split in the ranks”, then you can use the resulting code to weakening the kett as part of the final mission. There were no negative consequences of this action. Otherwise - if the hero did not use the code or did not pass the "Splitting in the ranks" - the strength of the kett will remain unchanged.

• To provide Captain Dunn's safety when landing on Meridian, the help of three Pathfinders is needed. To obtain it, the following conditions must be met:

1. Perform a task " Archon Hunt” and identify the Salarian Pathfinder.
2. Complete the task "" and persuade Avitus to take the position of Pathfinder.
3. Perform a task " Debt limits» (Kora Loyalty Mission) and select an Asari Pathfinder from Sarissa and Vederia.

Epilogue

Whoever you choose as the new ambassador will not affect the history of Andromeda in any way. The consequences of this decision, however, may well manifest in a potential sequel.

Allies and relations

Liam's Loyalty Mission ("All Together")

At the end of this task, you will have to decide whether hold up verandah or not. In the first case, Liam will remain the hero extremely unhappy, which could end the potential development of a relationship; in the second - everyone will part with the world.

Cora's Loyalty Mission ("The Limits of Duty")

From keeping Sarissa's secret depends on who becomes the Asari Pathfinder. If you decide to hide the truth, Sarissa will remain the Pathfinder (in the final task, she will come to the aid of the heroes). Otherwise, again, Ryder will have to choose: leave the ashamed Sarissa as the Pathfinder (in order to get help from her in the end, you will have to show miracles of oratory) or assign her duties to Vederia (in the final task, she will come to the aid of the heroes).

Jaal's Loyalty Mission ("Flesh and Blood")

From the fate of Akksul depends on the number of aggressive Roekaar in subsequent tasks. If you shoot Akksul, there will be more hostile rebels, if you save his life - Jaal will be injured, but the Roekaar presence will be significantly reduced. In both cases, the heroes will receive help from Jaal's family in the final mission.

Peebee's Loyalty Mission ("Remnant Mysterious Signal")

When Kalinda hangs on the ledge, you will only have a few seconds to decide whether to Relic data core salvation. If yes, Kalinda will simply die, there will be no further consequences; if not, Kalinda will survive and help the heroes in the final game.

Draka Loyalty Mission ("Future of the People")

From Aroan's fate nothing depends. Whether or not you allow Drak to drop the smuggler, Vorn will still come to the aid of the heroes in the final task.

Tempest Chief Engineer Gil

Three decisions are connected with it at once (see below), but the maximum that the player can count on in them is slightly changed dialogues in subsequent scenes.

1. Did Ryder cheat when playing poker?
2. Did he agree to be the father of Gil and Jill's child.
3. Which side did you take in the dispute between Kallo and Gil.

Secondary Tasks
