A walkthrough for the 'Helping Havarl's Scientists' quest in Mass Effect: Andromeda. Find Kiiran Dals, solve Remnant puzzles, and free trapped scientists on Havarl.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Start the quest by speaking with Kiiran Dals at the Pelaav Research Station on Havarl. This occurs during the quest "A Trail of Hope" after leaving Aya.
  2. 2
    Explore the Pelaav Research Station. You can loot containers, talk to Angarans (Raashel Vier may start "Forgotten Stars"), read Datapads, and interact with a Communications Terminal.
  3. 3
    Head north from the landing site to discover a Forward Station.
  4. 4
    Continue southeast towards a Remnant monolith. Along the way, discover another Forward Station.
  5. 5
    From the second Forward Station, head east and climb Remnant pillars to find an Adaptive Remnant Core Device. Scan it for Research Data.
  6. 6
    Return to the Forward Station and head north to find a Mineral Cache containing Titanium.
  7. 7
    Proceed south into the jungle, where you will encounter Roekaar fighters (Raiders, Saboteurs, Sharpshooters). Defeat them.
  8. 8
    Enter a Remnant structure to the south. Continue down a ramp and engage the hostile Remnant (Assemblers, Observers, Nullifiers).
  9. 9
    Loot the Remnant and the chamber. Search the eastern wall near the northern ramps, under a bioluminescent mushroom, to find fermentable fungus. Scan it to advance the quest "Task: Better Crafting".
  10. 10
    Continue south up ramps and through another doorway to reach a Remnant Console with three Angarans in stasis.
  11. 11
    Scan the stasis-locked Angarans to confirm they are alive.
  12. 12
    Locate and scan glyphs around the Remnant Console to find conduits. One glyph is on the southeast wall, another on stonework to the west.
  13. 13
    While scanning, find another Adaptive Remnant Core Device on a ledge to the west. Scan it.
  14. 14
    Loot containers and Nickel nodes found off ledges to the west and east.
  15. 15
    Return to the Remnant Console and solve the Sudoku-like puzzle to free the scientists.
  16. 16
    After the scientists are freed, return to Kiiran Dals at the Pelaav Research Station.
  17. 17
    Speak with Kiiran Dals and her assistant to conclude the quest.
