## Walkthrough

The first objectives of this mission are linear in nature and involve reading an email, speaking to Jaal, heading to Havarl, meeting Avka, and then boarding a shuttle to begin the mission.

Combat on this mission involves Roekaar enemies in large open spaces with lots of cover. Plan accordingly for longer distance combat and set up Ryder's loadout to take advantage of this.

### Enter the Clearing

The Angaran shuttle will drop the squad into a small clearing at the end of a small canyon. Head west and then south through the tight canyon and the area will open up into a large clearing with multiple buildings. There is no combat in this first clearing so there is no need to worry.

* First Clearing

### Search for Signs of Jaal's Family

Proceed down into the first clearing and begin exploring the area. There are multiple buildings with items in each one. It's not required to explore the buildings but there are a number of containers and Research Data (RD) to collect. There are also datapads and terminal entries that expand the story and Jaal will converse with Ryder giving detailed information.

There is a set of three items outside this building that can be scanned a single item but they don't award any RD. There is no name for these items and it only gives a description word of "Generator".

Once Ryder has finished exploring all of the buildings and collecting the items, approach the closed doorway into the next clearing and Akksul can be heard talking. It is not possible to return to the first clearing after opening the door so collect any items before continuing.

* Door to Second Clearing

Before opening the door, prepare for combat. A cutscene will start with Ryder interrupting several Angaran Raiders and then combat will start automatically.

Defeat the enemies and explore this room. There is a single datapad Note and a second door leading into the next clearing.

Before opening the second door, prepare for combat.

### Defeat the Roekaar

Multiple enemies will spawn and a dropship will fly in as Ryder enters the second clearing. Defeat the enemies. There are multiple areas of cover and there are plenty of supply caches to restore ammo, health, and power cells.

After searching the two buildings, approach the locked door and SAM will suggest scanning for wires.

* Door to Ravine

### Return Power to the Door

Scan the ground for electrical wires which lead to a nearby generator.

### Scan the Generator

Scan the Generator to determine it is offline.

### Activate the Generator

Activate the Generator and the nearby locked door will open.

Resupply as needed and collect all of the items from this area before heading into the now opened door. It will not be possible to return to this area after entering the room.

Enter the room and there is a second doorway. Open the doorway and the Roekaar will detonate explosives destroying a bridge crossing the ravine. Ryder will have to find a new route across to the other side.

### Cross the Ravine

There is a series of ledges below the now destroyed bridge that allows Ryder to get closer to the other side of the ravine. Head down and then jump across the divide. Be prepared for combat as soon as Ryder hits the other side after jumping.

* Across the Ravine

### Climb Past the Roekaar

Despite what the objective says to climb past the enemies, Ryder will be under fire from Roekaar enemies and will have to fight them to the top of this side of the ravine. There are multiple areas of cover and there are several supply caches to restore ammo, health, and power cells.

* Up the Ravine Wall

Head upwards, expect multiple dropships to deploy extra troops during combat, and defeat the enemies.

Once Ryder defeats all of the enemies and reaches the top of the ravine, **do not** follow the objective marker and climb up into the cave yet. A cutscene will start and it is not possible to return to the ravine area.

At the top of the ravine there are items to collect and scan. There are three containers to open for items. There is also a datapad Dispatch from Akksul on a crate nearby a container.

* Container 15
* Container 16
* Container 17

There is an AITN that can be scanned for +100 Heleus RD. There are three Angaran Ruins than can each be scanned for +10 Heleus RD. Scanning each set of ruins starts a conversation that reveals additional information about the Govataan.

After collecting all of the items and scanning, resupply as needed before heading into the cave to start the cutscene.

* Into the Cave

### Find the Bombs

After the cutscene, Ryder will have dropped down off of a rock ledge and moved deeper into the cave. It is no longer possible to return back to the ravine. The only course forward leads deeper into the cave and to a large cavern.

* Deeper Into the Cave

Despite the sense of urgency that Ryder and the squad discuss, there is no timer at this point and Ryder can proceed carefully. There is nothing to scan or collect in this final section though.

Ryder can move forward down the pathway past additional ruins and come to the edge of a large cavern. If Ryder is careful, the final section of this mission will not trigger as long as the Roekaar doesn't detect the squad.

Ryder can either attack the Roekaar from the high up rock ledge hitting a few enemies before the timer starts or drop down into the cavern to start the timer.

* Final Clearing

### Eliminate the Roekaar

Once the timer starts, it is important to understand that two objectives will be given at the same time and that both have to be completed. The bombs are the higher priority as they will end the mission if they go off.

There are no containers to collect or items to scan in this cavern area. Focus on the bombs first as they are time-limited and then work on killing enemies. Be aware that a dropship will fly in and drop off more troops as the battle progresses.

It is also important to note that when the last bomb is defused or the last enemy is killed (whichever is the final item Ryder has to complete), the mission will automatically go to a cutscene. If Ryder wants to collect any remains from fallen enemies, do so before killing the last enemy or defusing the last bomb as these will be lost when the cutscene starts.

A cutscene will start with Jaal, Ryder, and Akksul talking. During the conversation, Akksul taunts Ryder to kill him and make him a martyr. Jaal will ask Ryder to do nothing. As the conversation continues in front of many Roekaar in the cavern, a narrative action prompt to allow Ryder to kill Akksul with a gunshot.

* If Ryder choose to shoot Akksul, Jaal is deeply disappointed but will get over it. The Roekaar see the Initiative as a threat and grow stronger in the Heleus cluster.
* If Ryder chooses not to shoot Akksul, Akksul tries to shoot Jaal but misses terribly at point blank range. He is shown to be ineffective and weak in front of the other angara and the Roekaar cause is lost. The Roekaar presence is reduced to little to none in Heleus cluster.

Ryder and Jaal will return in a shuttle to Havarl and discuss what happened with Akksul.

The mission will then end after the conversation and the final rewards will be given.

* +1330 XP
* Jaal's Rank 6 Skills unlocked
