Elaaden architect and Drive core quest HELP

So... I decided not to give Morda the remnant drive core but because of that I cant settle Elaaden and I can not get the Architect mission and get the powerful fusion mod that comes with it ...Anyone stuck with this problem ? Anyway to get the architect mission other than talking to the non-existing outpost leader ? PLS help

    From what I have heard from people the only way to get an outpost/quest for the architect it to give the core to morda. So unless anyone else can shed some light on the matter I would either wait for a second playthrough or load a save. Hope this helps alittle.

    nope sadly you need the outpost leaders to give you those side missions. you can't fight them without them giving the side quest. i tried to do it once on the ice planet i forgot the name of it lol.

  • Unfortunately the loss of the mission you're looking for is one of the costs of keeping the drive core.

    The mission to face the Architect is given at the Colony which you cannot establish if you opt to keep the drive core. Unfortunately, it's one or the other but not both.

    If you want the quest to fight the Architect, you have to give the Krogan the core.

    Choices -> consequences

    Morda warned you if you keep the core what will happen. You didn't believe her?

    If you desperately need the remnant research points, keep it. It gives you 1000 plus some ridiculous amount of credits which you dont need. If you do not need the research points give them the core so you can have all the outposts you need. 

    I went with the second option as i needed one more ZK tracker and you get that only if you place an outpost, plus the architect fights are fun.

    It gives you a fusion mod of 25% increased weapon headshot/weakpoint damage bonus for 70% reduced weapon clip size (35% with Cryo Pods), so decide which one is more important for you.
