Mass Effect Hints

Explore colony

  • 1 of 10: After you land on Nodacrux in the Mako, drive SE to the science facility that's marked on the area map.
  • 2 of 10: There are several thorian creepers near the facility that you can easily blast with the Mako's weapons.
  • 3 of 10: Park near the round structure with the big light on top of it, then get out of the Mako.
  • 4 of 10: Use the structure's green entrance panel to get in.
  • 5 of 10: Check the bar in the first room for an upgrade kit, then get ready to fight a bunch more creepers in the large room to the south.
  • 6 of 10: After you start shooting them, retreat back to the first room to help you keep your distance while finishing them off.
  • 7 of 10: When they're all down, go explore the two southern-most rooms.
  • 8 of 10: They both have lootable item containers, and the east room has some surviving scientists.
  • 9 of 10: During your conversation with them, you can choose to either accept a bribe to keep quiet about their creepy activities, or fight them.
  • 10 of 10: Either way, the assignment will be completed. (Though note that if you take the bribe, you'll be ejected from the facility, and won't be able to get back in to loot any of the containers in the scientists' room.)
