Mass Effect Hints

Speak with Fai Dan

  • 1 of 5: Before you can get to Fai Dan or anywhere else, you'll need to fight your way through a bunch of geth.
  • 2 of 5: Go up all the stairs to get to a spot where several colonists have set up camp.
  • 3 of 5: To get to where Fai Dan is (the "!" mark on the area map), either walk around the area's perimeter or go through the Zhu's Hope ship.
  • 4 of 5: Near the Zhu's Hope's west end, you'll find Fai Dan and someone named Arcelia Silva Martinez standing around.
  • 5 of 5: Quicksave right before talking to them, since a geth attack will happen during the conversation. (And so will getting the objective "Stop Geth in Tower.")
