• Make good use of canopy – whereas a lot of Andromeda’s fight permits you to sort out issues in a extra cellular method, you’ll need to make good use of canopy towards the architect – its weapons are devastating.
• Be prepared to maneuver away from grenade spam – the architect will use sticky grenades to flush you out of canopy, however the UI marks them clearly. When it spits grenades out, make a transfer.
• Be conscious of your place – this can be a easy one, however watch the place you step – you have to be contained in the markings the UI leaves on the ground to ensure that the hacking to progress. Hold the road!
• When the top is uncovered, assault! – attacking the top when your allies inform you to can go away the architect briefly out of motion, providing you with very important time to regroup.

Once you interface with all three consoles you’ll be capable of absolutely defeat the Architect and with it the Archon. Meridian is yours! We’ll go away what occurs subsequent for the sport to elucidate.
