Mass Effect Hints
Head to Spaceport
1 of 9: Start up the path that's to the west of the two shelters to get a cinematic involving Nihlus and another turian named Saren.
2 of 9: Move toward the train station slowly with your sniper rifle out. You may be able to snipe a geth trooper or two before several husks charge you.
3 of 9: When they do, switch to the shotgun or assault rifle and quickly take them down.
4 of 9: Search around the nearby area to find two lootable containers plus a shelter that you can optionally unlock like you did the last one.
5 of 9: Run down to the platform and search it to find Nihlus' body.
6 of 9: Before you investigate it, open up the nearby medical kit, plus the container that's in the flames to the east.
7 of 9: Checking Nihlus' body will get a guy named Powell to reveal himself.
8 of 9: Talk to him about everything, including the fact that he's the farmers' smuggling contact if you got that bit of info from the locked-shelter guys earlier.
9 of 9: As soon as you're through talking to him, the "Take the Train" objective will start.
