Mass Effect Hints
Go to Ilos
1 of 7: For some odd reason, you're not taken to the Normandy in a non-interactive cinematic, so you'll have to go there on foot.
2 of 7: It's too late to wander around aimlessly or visit merchants, so run straight for the rapid transit console that's in the area just outside the nightclub.
3 of 7: Travel to Wards Locations / C-Sec, then use the nearby elevator to go to the docking bay.
4 of 7: Enter the Normandy via its airlock door to get the promised cinematic.
5 of 7: After it's over, you'll find yourself on the command deck, standing next to the galaxy map.
6 of 7: NOTE: This is your last chance to do any optional UNC Assignments you haven't done yet. After you land on Ilos, you won't have access to the Normandy for the rest of the game.
7 of 7: When you're ready, go to the Ilos game section, where this mission and this objective will continue.
