Mass Effect Andromeda - 159: Hunting The Archon
0[DEFINITER SPOILERS] no really, definite spoilers! I'm going to mention things here in the description too. You don't want this mission or story spoiled, go away and play the game now!
This is my recording of the major story arc mission called "Hunting The Archon". The Mass Effect Wiki for this article can be found here: https://masseffect.fandom.com/wiki/Hunting_the_Archon
This is easily in my Top 3 of story missions in Mass Effect Andromeda. We are presented with the body horror of Kett experimentation. Via datapads, audio logs and comments from companions, we are presented with the horror of what the Kett do.
We come face-to-face with the Archon. We experience first hand, his messianic sense of species superiority and callous indifference to the sanctity of sentient life. All is meat and DNA for his birthright to genetic ascension.
We are also presented with one of the handful of truly difficult "Sophie's Choice" moments in the game where we can only choose to save one of the two groups of allies on the ship.
The "surprise boss fight" in the Archon's personal quarters is...not actually that bad with the right equipment and weapons. I had the Piranha automatic shotgun, with the Heat Inducer augment (incendiary rounds are 25% more damaging), Kinetic Coils (+3% damage each) and the Turbocharge combat power activated. It absolutely obliterates armoured enemies. I am also wearing Kett armour (the helmet and legs) which add another 10% weapon damage. It adds up.
Also, lore. So much lore.
Enjoy.
