Mass Effect Hints

Race Against Time

  • 1 of 4: This is the starting mission for this game section. (NOTE: This entire mission is all stuck in under the one objective of "Find the Conduit," so these hints won't have an objective list.)
  • 2 of 4: In order to complete this objective, you must finish the main missions in the "Virmire" game section.
  • 3 of 4: While you're doing that, this mission will turn into "Race Against Time: Sovereign."
  • 4 of 4: NOTE: Specifically, the renaming happens after you speak to the Sovereign following the activation of the Prothean beacon during the second objective of the "Virmire: Assault" mission.
