Complete walkthrough for the Overgrown quest in Mass Effect: Andromeda. Includes steps to scan mutated wildlife and raid Roekaar research labs.
Walkthrough
- 1Start the Quest: Complete the quests "A Dying Planet" and "Cross-Cultural Alliances." Head south from the Pelaav Research Station to find two Nexus Scientists studying a dead Adhi.
- 2Access Genetic Archive: Go into the main structure of the Pelaav Research Center and access the Genetic Archive Database. This will provide targets for scanning: a Mutated Challyrion, a Mutated Rylkor, and a Mutated Eiroch. Upload the files to get their navpoints.
- 3Scan Mutated Challyrion: Head north from the Pelaav Research Station to find a cave near Raashel Vier’s home. Several Mutated Challyrions can be found here; some may be invisible initially. Defeat and scan them.
- 4Scan Mutated Rylkor: From the Pelaav Research Station, head east to find the Mutated Rylkor east of the Forward Station. Scan it from a distance if possible. Be aware of other Rylkors and wildlife nearby.
- 5Scan Mutated Eiroch and Clear Roekaar Camp: Travel east of the trench and head south from the Forward Station to find the Mutated Eiroch. It will likely be engaged with Roekaar hunters. Let them fight, scan the Eiroch, and then defeat any remaining enemies.
- 6Search the Roekaar Camp: After defeating the Eiroch and Roekaar, search their camp. You will find a Mineral Cache to the west, an Angaran Integrated Tech Node, and a Roekaar Datapad in the camp itself.
- 7Raid Roekaar Research: Read the datapad to learn about the Roekaar's interest in Havarl's mutations. Head north from the Forward Station to find a Roekaar camp in the northwestern corner of the area.
- 8Assault the Roekaar Camp: Ascend to the camp's high ground and take cover behind barricades. Defeat the Roekaar (Sharpshooters, Raiders, Saboteur) and any accompanying Adhi or wildlife. Search the camp for a lucrative container, a Mineral Cache, and the Roekaar Datapad “Legacy.”
- 9Retrieve Roekaar Data: Proceed to the northern end of the camp to find a search area leading to a metal platform with two terminals. Interact with the Roekaar Genetic Research Log terminal. You can choose to destroy the data or copy and then delete it.
- 10Return to Scientists: Return to the Nexus Scientists to end the quest.
Tips
- The Mutated Challyrion is the closest target, making it a good starting point.
- When hunting the Mutated Eiroch, let it and the Roekaar engage each other to create an opening for scanning and reduce the number of enemies you face directly.
- The Roekaar camp has high ground, so be prepared for enemies attacking from elevated positions.
- Loot all containers and caches found during the mission for valuable resources.
