Where in the EDZ is Archie quest walkthrough
First, you must visit EDZ and talk to Devrim Kay to complete the first objective “Visit Devrim Kay in the EDZ to ask about Archie’s whereabouts.”
You can find Devrim at his usual spot at the top of the delipidated church in the EDZ.
Once you talk to him, you will learn that Archie heard about some feathers behind a fireplace and is hoping to find a glowing bird.
This is where things get a lot more complicated, as you must solve this clue and find the next location to find out about Archie’s whereabouts.
The location you are looking for that the clue refers to is the ABS Kastner building on the left of the church.
Head there and climb up to the first floor through the broken wall, and you will find another Paw Prints that you can investigate to get the next clue “Archie heard Guardians have picked up a chill new hobby called ‘fishing’ and went to check it out.”
The above clue refers to the fishing spot in the EDZ’s Outskirts area. Go there and interact with the Paw Prints left of the giant boulder.
Interact with it to get the next clue, “Archie heard about a ‘ship full of tanks and space Rhinos’ and decided to go take a look.”
Head to the Sunken Isles, and at the foot of the big ship at Echion Hold, near the ramp you take to head inside during The Arms Dealer Strike, you will find another Paw Prints.
Interact with it to get the next clue, “Archie’s last stop. He heard some Guardians talking about ‘the place where we reclaimed the Light’ and some cool floating rocks there.”
The Dark Forest in the EDZ is where Guardians reclaimed the Light, which you can access via The Sludge waypoint. Teleport there and stick to the right side to find the path leading to The Dark Forest.
In this section of the quest, you must disable Jammers by interacting with them and keep moving ahead. After disabling around seven Jammers, you will find Archie held hostage by the Cabals headed by a Centurion.
You must disable the last three Jammers to remove the shield protecting the Centurion and defeat him to free Archie.
Once you do that, go near him and hold the interact button to “Offer Pawsitive Reinforcement.”
The last part of the quest tasks you to “Return to Ada-1 in the Annex of the Tower.” Head there and talk to her to get “Devrim’s Favourite Mug” and “Trophy of Bravery x10” as rewards, completing the quest, “Where in the EDZ is Archie?”
