Mass Effect Hints
How can I get the bay door to slice off one of the dropship's claws?
1 of 10: After using the central console, check out the machine bank to the left of it.
2 of 10: Five PSI valves are now interactive.
3 of 10: Each one has a certain PSI number associated with it, and each one can be on (green light) or off (red light).
4 of 10: Remember that you want the total PSI to be between 31 and 34.
5 of 10: How can you use the numbers 5, 7, 11, 13, and 17 to get a number in the target range?
6 of 10: Try starting at the high end.
7 of 10: 17 + 13 is 30, but even adding 5 to that would make the total too high.
8 of 10: So try 17 + 11 instead.
9 of 10: That's 28, and if you add 5 to that, you'll get 33. Bingo!
10 of 10: Turn on the 5, 11, and 17 PSI gadgets (and turn the 7 and 13 ones off if they're on), then use the central console again to get the job done.
