Mass Effect Andromeda Allies & Relationships Guide

Mass Effect Andromeda features a wealth of exciting and rewarding side content & missions that come in a manner of unique variations. This Mass Effect Andromeda Allies & Relationships Guide focuses on side quests that fall within the Allies and Relationships category including information on how to find each mission and what to do to complete it.

Many areas of Mass Effect Andromeda’s worlds cannot be explored when you first reach them. This is due to story restrictions and often, radiation systems. It’s advised that you complete a planet fully before trying to complete all of the side content at that location.

Mass Effect Andromeda Allies & Relationships Guide – Nexus

Missing Arks

This Allies & Relationships mission is unlocked after you complete the first few Priority Ops missions on the Nexus. You’re tasked with finding leads on the Salarian, Asari and Turian Arks. This is an umbrella quest. As you progress through the story you will naturally unlock more Allies & Relationships missions that center around each of the missing Arks so grab them as you move forward.

Ryder Family Secrets

After exploring the Nexus for the first time SAM will contact you and ask you to return to SAM Node to speak with him privately. This begins the Ryder Family Secrets Allies & Relationships mission. You are tasked with finding memory triggers scattered throughout the game before returning to SAM Node to have the memory unlocked. The first memory can be discovered inside Ryder’s fathers quarters on the Habitation Deck of the Hyperion, it’s the room North of the SAM Node.

The next memory can be found on Eos, a planet you visit during the main story. Once you have cleared the initial area and have access to the rover vehicle, search on a cliff to the South West to find the memory. You can find it on your map. You’re able to jump out and grab it before taking any damage. There’s another in the North West area of Eos and a third will appear once you construct the outpost on Eos during the main story.

When you reach a new planet use the map and you’ll find memories scattered across each planet.
