Mass Effect Hints
Save the Quarian
1 of 7: There's a four-minute countdown timer on this operation, so move fast.
2 of 7: NOTE: There's a wall safe that you can decrypt your way into, plus an optical storage disk that you can pick up for an optional assignment, but it's best to put that off until after the current crisis is resolved.
3 of 7: Quickly run back to the circular bar area and shoot down the thugs who appear there. Use cover and rapid fire (or a sniper rifle) to kill them all as fast as you can.
4 of 7: When you exit the bar, run across the square walkway and then up the stairs in the room to the south.
5 of 7: Open the door at the top of the stairs using its door control, then run up some more stairs and on until a cinematic starts.
6 of 7: As soon as it's over, crouch and start firing on the enemies, using the nearby large crate for cover.
7 of 7: After that's over, another cinematic will begin that'll finish this objective and start "Return to the Tower."
