Mass Effect Hints

To Peak 15

  • 1 of 16: Before you can follow Benezia to Peak 15, you'll have to get a garage pass by doing the "Noveria: Leave Port Hanshan" mission.
  • 2 of 16: Once you have it, go down the corridor that starts in the SW corner of the plaza.
  • 3 of 16: When you reach the garage entrance, talk to the guard and show her your pass to get the doors opened.
  • 4 of 16: Move into the garage to get a cinematic followed by a battle with geth stalkers and destroyers.
  • 5 of 16: After they're all down, talk to Maeko Matsuo and raid the upgrade kit that's on the other side of the nearby Mako.
  • 6 of 16: That Mako won't move, so run north to the next section of the garage.
  • 7 of 16: You can enter the Mako there and drive down a tunnel to exit the garage and enter the Aleutsk Valley.
  • 8 of 16: As soon as you enter the garage, get out your weapon and move cautiously forward. There's quite a welcoming committee waiting for you!
  • 9 of 16: Go up the stairs near the garage's SE corner, then look for containers to raid as you make your way along.
  • 10 of 16: After raiding the security office, take the elevator that goes to the administration level.
  • 11 of 16: Approach the automatic door to the cafeteria with your weapon out, ready to fight all the enemies inside.
  • 12 of 16: Keep your weapon out and ready as you explore the rooms past the cafeteria. More rachni will appear and attack you.
  • 13 of 16: Look around for containers and such, then use the elevator at the south end of the hallway to get to the Mira Core area.
  • 14 of 16: After exiting the elevator, go through the next door with a weapon at the ready -- several rachni workers are going to appear at the other end of the room, and you'll want to shoot them all down before they can reach you.
  • 15 of 16: After that's done, you'll need to figure out how to get Peak 15's Mira VI (virtual intelligence) rebooted.
  • 16 of 16: After you talk to the rebooted Mira, you'll finally move on to the "To Rift Station" objective.
