Mass Effect Hints
Prologue: On the Normandy
1 of 6: This is the mission that you start the game with. (NOTE: This entire mission is all stuck in under the one objective of "Speak to the Captain," so these hints won't have an objective list.)
2 of 6: After you make a couple of conversation choices in the opening cinematic, you'll find yourself near the west end of the Normandy's command deck.
3 of 6: Check the in-game map to see that you need to make your way east to get to the comm room.
4 of 6: On the way, you can talk to Navigator Pressly on the west side of the galaxy map, plus Doctor Chakwas and Corporal Jenkins near the comm room's door. If you carefully explore all of their available conversation topics, you can get 30 XP and some new codex entries.
5 of 6: Head through the comm room's door and over to where Nihlus is standing.
6 of 6: Talk to him to start a long cinematic that turns this mission into "Prologue: Find the Beacon."
