Mass Effect Hints
Xbox Version
1 of 4: As in the Decryption Minigame, you will be presented with 4 on-screen buttons that match the ones on the face of on your controller. This time, though, the minigame is essentially one of guessing.
2 of 4: Press any of the four buttons at random, and if you're correct, you'll be rewarded with a green light. Pick incorrectly, and you'll get a red light and exit the game.
3 of 4: The goal is to string the correct code together one guess at a time. If you guess the first button correctly, remember what that was, and try your guess for the second one in the sequence. If that works, remember that and go on to #3, and so on, until you either get it all right or miss one in the code.
4 of 4: Fortunately, the sequences are not random. So when you have to restart, repeat all of your correct guesses up until the one you got wrong. All you need to do is change that final button. Repeat this process until you get the entire code correct -- writing down the correct answers if you have trouble remembering.
