Meridian: The Way Home Mass Effect: Andromeda Mission

Type: Priority Ops

Meridian was lost when the Scourge was launched against the Jardaan. As the heart of the vault network, it is the key to restoring worlds all across the cluster. Only when Meridian is found and secured will the future of Heleus be certain.

Mission objectives of Meridian: The Way Home

1. Talk to Suvi

2. Scourge clusters probed for data (x3)

To find Meridian, its possible trajectory through the Scourge must be mapped. Search the solar systems on the outskirts of Heleus to locate viable locations to gather data on the Scourge.

You need to scan three anomalies in Skeldah, Kindrax, and Civki systems, and then plant probes there.

Go back to Khi Tasira.

Move forward, reach the control center, and activate the remnant console.

6. Struggle to reach door

Try to reach the door. You will lose control of your main character eventually.

7. Get a weapon

The Archon has stolen the Hyperion and cut all communication between SAM and the Pathfinder. The Pathfinder's implant must be reset with a manual signal. If you don't send the signal, the Pathfinder will die and the Archon will use Meridian to threaten entire planets.

15. Go to the bridge to launch

The Archon is pushing to control Meridian. He's said that if Heleus does not submit, he'll use this power to destroy entire planets, starting with Eos. Fight through the kett guarding the Archon's path and the Remnant defending Meridian. The Archon must be stopped.

It's time for the final confrontation with Archon.

You will go ground.

In the final room you will meet Archon and your sibling.

25. Eliminate kett protecting the Archon

The Archon holds the heart of Meridian. The Hyperion is here. Your team, allies, friends, and family are here. There is no turning back. If the Archon uses the stolen SAM connection to take control, he threatens everything in Heleus. Stop him from claiming so much power.

Kill the kett, the ascendant is one of them.
