Mass Effect Hints

Noveria: Reactor Repair

  • 1 of 7: You get this mission after you reboot the Mira VI during the "Noveria: Matriarch Benezia" mission's first objective. (NOTE: This entire mission is all stuck in under the one objective of "Reconnect Fuel Lines," so these hints won't have an objective list.)
  • 2 of 7: Watching for rachni, make your way to the northern elevator in the Mira Core area and use it.
  • 3 of 7: Check the first reactor core room for containers, then start down one of the side walkways to get several geth to appear.
  • 4 of 7: Quickly retreat to the first reactor room and use it for cover as you carefully snipe enemies down.
  • 5 of 7: Move all around the first-level walkways, looking for enemies on the upper level to shoot down, before you approach the spot that's marked with an orange "!" on the area map.
  • 6 of 7: Once all enemies are eliminated (your radar won't be jammed anymore), go to the orange "!" spot and use the hotspot there to fix the fuel lines.
  • 7 of 7: That finishes this mission, but don't neglect to search the upper walkway area for supplies.
