Mass Effect Hints

Back to Rift Station

  • 1 of 10: Ask Tartakovsky how to initiate the neutron purge.
  • 2 of 10: Doing so will get you the "Noveria: The Hot Labs" mission, so finish it.
  • 3 of 10: After that mission is over, take the elevator that leads back to the main level.
  • 4 of 10: When you get to the large Medical Bay area, Captain Ventralis and his men will initiate a combat.
  • 5 of 10: Quickly take cover behind a large crate so you can snipe at the guards from relative safety.
  • 6 of 10: After they're all down, you'll need to get to the lower level's NE corner.
  • 7 of 10: There are two ways to do that. One is to go north from the Medical Bay and through the secure area, fighting guards as you go.
  • 8 of 10: The other way is to take the elevator down to the Quarantine Lab area and kill off a couple of asari commandos, then go through the maintenance tunnel and Ventilation Room to the north.
  • 9 of 10: Either way, you'll end up working on the "Sneaking In" objective of the "Noveria: Rift Station" mission.
  • 10 of 10: After Benezia is defeated, you'll get the final objective for this mission, which is "Mission Complete."
