Mass Effect Hints

Mavigon Crimelord

  • 1 of 12: This crimelord is on the planet Mavigon, which is in the Han system of the Gemini Sigma cluster.
  • 2 of 12: Pick yourself a good fighting team and then land on the planet.
  • 3 of 12: The syndicate hideout is way to the SE of where you land, so start driving over there.
  • 4 of 12: You'll come to a small mountain range, on top of which is the base.
  • 5 of 12: Carefully drive up any side of the mountain until you're within viewing distance of the base.
  • 6 of 12: It has several defense turrets, so quickly fire on them and retreat back a bit to be out of their range. Repeating this can help you destroy them fairly quickly and safely.
  • 7 of 12: After they're all blown up, drive around the base until you can see its green entrance panel.
  • 8 of 12: Park next to the panel, get out, and use the panel to enter the base.
  • 9 of 12: The first room in the base just has a medical kit, so raid it and move on to the large central room.
  • 10 of 12: Move around in it slowly until the enemy sees you, then retreat back to the doorway and blast the ones who come after you.
  • 11 of 12: After that, look around for other nearby targets to eliminate before you go for the crime boss, who's probably hanging around on the south side of the room.
  • 12 of 12: Once they're all dead, you can relax and search for lootable containers before exiting the base and returning to the Normandy.
