Mass Effect Hints

How can I get through the valley and to Peak 15?

  • 1 of 13: Drive carefully along the icy path until you reach an overturned vehicle.
  • 2 of 13: You can stop and get out of the Mako to raid a crate that's next to the vehicle, but get back into your Mako quickly -- it's cold out there!
  • 3 of 13: The tunnel that's coming up past that is heavily guarded by geth. (Note that just before you reach it, there's another wrecked vehicle with item containers next to it.)
  • 4 of 13: Look for two hard-to-see upgrade kits on either side of the tunnel at its approximate center, then move to the other end of the tunnel.
  • 5 of 13: After the short armature cinematic, move carefully out of the tunnel, looking to the right for the armature and some more geth troopers behind shields.
  • 6 of 13: Use the usual blast-and-retreat method on them, then drive up to the armature's position to find a few last troopers and a couple of locked containers that you can get out and raid.
  • 7 of 13: Drive on to the next tunnel, where you'll have more shielded troopers to blast at the tunnel entrance. (You could shoot at them long-range from near the first tunnel's exit, but that might be too hard.)
  • 8 of 13: When you're about halfway down the second tunnel, move over to its right side and use your zoom-view to see and blast the geth heavy turret that's a short way past the tunnel's exit.
  • 9 of 13: Get out and raid a medical kit next to a large crate after you exit the tunnel, then drive on down the winding path.
  • 10 of 13: When you're not quite halfway down the path before the last major bend, look to the left to see if you can spot a geth heavy turret. It may already be firing rockets at you, so dodge them and quickly destroy it.
  • 11 of 13: As you approach the last bend, look for another turret to be directly ahead of you. It's hard to dodge its rockets, so destroy it as fast as you can.
  • 12 of 13: There's one last turret to blow up near the Peak 15 facility entrance, after which you can park your Mako near a flaming wreck.
  • 13 of 13: Get out of your Mako and go through the nearby automatic door to enter the Peak 15 garage area.
