Voeld Vault - Mass Effect Andromeda Guide - IGN (2024)

Reactivating the Vault on Voeld will restore the planet's atmosphere to a habitable temperature. There are also a series of bonuses and puzzles located within.

Finding the Monoliths

The vault on Voeld can be accessed by starting the Restoring a World mission. Once you have your Nomad on Voeld, start driving around the drop off and head for the monoliths at the center of the map. Once you reach the bridge, the mission will trigger.

Head for the first monolith, the north-west one. Once there, you can find one glyph on the upright tower. The second one you can get to by climbing up the snow and onto the slanted tower. From there, jump to the third tower to find the last one.

The second monolith would be the north-east one. Once there, drop down to the cave the takes you underground to the main console. The first glyph can be found on one of the towers inside. The other two can be found on the surface on the backside of the monolith.

Go south to get to the last monolith. This time drop down into the deep chasm to find another cave with the main console inside. There are two glyphs on top of one of the towers, the third one can be found behind the tower on a light box.

Inside the Vault

Head towards the center of the three monoliths to find the new vault. Head inside and use the gravity wall to get down. Activate the console in front of you to activate three core devices, each inside its own shield bubble. Use these to heal your life support when you start to freeze out in the open.

After you've scanned the new remnant tech, including the core device, jump up to the console on the higher platform open up the next area. Run straight there and take shelter in the next shield bubble. If you want to get everything the vault has to offer, activate the console and jump over to the platforms on the left to get to the next bubble.

Here you'll find another console. Activating it will disable the bubble and give power to the next puzzle. Switch this console back to the bubble whenever your life support is low.

To get to the hidden core device (worth 100 Remnant research), start by disabling the bubble. Follow the line to the next console. Activate it to switch the line. Follow the line again and activate the next console. Follow the new line to the last console. Activate it to have your core device appear, ready for scanning!

To unlock the door to the bonus room, start from the original console and follow the line to the second console. Activate it so that the line goes back to the highest console. Jump up there and activate the highest console as well. Drop down and follow the line to the last console. Activate it to have a platform rise nearby. Hop on and collect items from the container. Return to the previous area and activate the console closest to the original console. This will send a line off to another part of the vault.

With that taken care of, return to the starting area and use the console to form a path over to the right instead of the left. Once you reach the next area, you'll be met with some enemies. Take them down, the jump up to the area above bubble. Here you can activate another console to gain access to the door. Head inside, take out a few Assemblers and a Destroyer, then head to the bubble at the end of the room. There is a Remnant Decryption Console here. Use the image above to solve the puzzle and get +2 Skill Points.

Return to the main area and activate the console near the door your just opened. This will raise a platform over to the locked door. Follow the path until you reach the next bubble. Next to the bubble is the console that you connected with from early part of the vault. Activate it to unlock the door - too bad there is still a barrier! Fight off the remnant in this area, then jump over to the final area.

Take out the two Nullifiers and a few Assemblers, then activate the console in front of the giant blue beam. This will start the purification process, so now is the time to make a run for it! Follow the nav points as they pop up on the screen. And you don't have to fight the new enemies, just run! Before you leave, head over to the door with barrier to find that it can now be accessed. Open the container inside to find some goodies, then book it out of there.

When you reach the room with the gravity wall, activate the final console (hallelujah!) to stop the killer smoke. Hop back into the gravity wall and make your way back outside to find a prettier Voeld.
