Mass Effect Hints
Cafeteria Combat Tips
1 of 8: Stay outside the cafeteria, sniping enemies as they appear, and retreating to let the door close when you need a breather.
2 of 8: You can get most of the enemies that way, but you'll have to enter the cafeteria to find the last one.
3 of 8: Go out only as far as you have to in order to get the last target to appear, then quickly shoot him down.
4 of 8: The instant he dies, a cinematic will start in which some of the supposedly extinct rachni will attack.
5 of 8: Quickly sprint back through the door that leads to the elevator, and wait there for the little rachni workers to approach (or for your squad to blast them).
6 of 8: NOTE: Rachni workers attack by exploding and showering you with toxins when they get close, so try to keep them from doing that.
7 of 8: After the workers are dealt with, go up the stairs to where you can start shooting at the two rachni soldiers.
8 of 8: Retreat back downstairs for cover if needed, though you should be able to take the soldiers down fairly quickly.
