Noveria: Geth Interest

  • 1 of 8: This is the starting mission for this game section. You receive it right after completing "Citadel: Expose Saren." (NOTE: This entire mission is all stuck in under the one objective of "Go to Noveria," so these hints won't have an objective list.)
  • 2 of 8: On the Normandy's command deck, use the galaxy map and de-zoom to the Milky Way view.
  • 3 of 8: Scan over to the Horse Head Nebula cluster (which is marked with the label "Noveria") and click on it.
  • 4 of 8: Travel to the Pax system (again, marked "Noveria"), then choose to land on Noveria.
  • 5 of 8: After you arrive, use the airlock near the bridge to leave the Normandy and choose your squad.
  • 6 of 8: Run along the docking bay walkway until you encounter Maeko Matsuo.
  • 7 of 8: You'll get past her no matter what you say, but your conversation decisions will affect what morality points you get.
  • 8 of 8: When you reach the customs area, talk to Gianna Parasini about everything to turn this mission into "Noveria: Matriarch Benezia."
