Mass Effect Hints
Find the Major
1 of 16: On this route, you'll have to hack the entrance console so that you can enter.
2 of 16: Once you're inside, get out your weapon and check everyone's equipment before opening the next door.
3 of 16: It leads to a large storage area with several enemies in it who can use biotic powers against you.
4 of 16: Hang back in the starting area and see how many you can lure to you.
5 of 16: After they're down, go cautiously through the storage area to find the others.
6 of 16: When they're all dead, look around for containers to loot, including one back in the starting area and up on the upper floor (which you can reach from the one side corridor can get you to).
7 of 16: In the south room on the lower floor, you'll find two containers and a usable terminal.
8 of 16: Use the terminal to unlock the bunker, then go back outside.
9 of 16: Run or drive over to the circular cement structure with a big light on top of it, then look around it for an entrance console to use.
10 of 16: Once you're inside, open the nearby door and shoot at some of the biotics in the room beyond, then close the door to rest a bit.
11 of 16: Keep that up until they're all dead, then get a couple more to appear by approaching the room's other door.
12 of 16: In the large room to the south, sharp-shoot a couple of biotics who are at the south end of the room.
13 of 16: Look around for lootable containers, then enter the T-shaped corridor to the south.
14 of 16: The west room is where the major is, so go inside to start a conversation cinematic with him. (After optionally checking the east room for a hostile biotic and two item containers.)
15 of 16: During the conversation, you can use a Charm or Intimidate option to get him to surrender, or you can fight it out with him and a few more biotics.
