Super Quick Guide to Elite Arid Lancers (based on my experience)

- There is only ONE target per mission run meaning you will have to run the same mission 3 times.

- Each scan requires FOUR charges on your Synthesis Scanner (one for each point on the target, presumably). Ensure you have plenty of charges. Charges are available in the Cephalon Simaris room (located in relays) at the console to his right for 5000cr for 25 charges.

- Kinetic siphon traps aren't necessary but can make things easier if you are using a frame that can't immobilize the target or track it quickly. They are available in the Cephalon Simaris room at the same console as scanner charges for 5000cr per 10 traps.

- You should be able to access the quest from the Quest icon on the Navigation screen. Failing that go to Mars and look for the "pulsing" planet node. Mine was Ares. I'm not sure it's the same for everyone but from what I've seen elsewhere it always seems to be a sabotage mission.

- Simaris will talk to you at the start of the mission if you are on the right tileset.

- Looking through your scanner will show an energy trail indicating the direction of the target.

- IF THE TARGET IS BEHIND A LOCKED DOOR you need to finish the main mission objective (ie. sabotage) first. At that point previously locked doors will be accessible and you can proceed to hunt your target.

- Elite Arid Lancers will always spawn. Simaris will let you know when you are close and the target will appear on the map. The target will also have a blue aura around it making it easy to spot. Target flees rather than inflicting damage and appears to be able to tank quite a lot.

- Once the target is successfully scanned it will "dissolve" and disappear. Simaris will let you know the scan was a success.

My advice is to finish the mission objective before hunting the target. Once I had this down I wrapped up all three targets very quickly, to my relief. I hope this helps someone!
