Mass Effect Hints
Deal With Hot Labs
1 of 9: First, finish up the "Noveria: Rift Station" mission by deciding the rachni queen's fate.
2 of 9: Look around the entire Secure Lab area for raidable containers, then leave through the southern exit. (The northern one is locked.)
3 of 9: You'll soon come to the tram station and elevator area that you explored when you first arrived on the lower level.
4 of 9: You now have two choices on how to finish up at Peak 15.
5 of 9: The quick and easy way is to board the tram and use its panel to return to the Normandy. The facility will be bombed by the local authorities to end the rachni invasion.
6 of 9: However, the much better and more XP-worthy way is to use the elevator that leads to the hot labs.
7 of 9: In the main hot labs room, talk to Yaroslev Tartakovsky about the situation.
8 of 9: Ask him how to trigger the neutron purge in order to start the "Noveria: The Hot Labs" mission.
9 of 9: After that mission is over, you'll be on the "Mission Complete" objective.
