Mass Effect Hints
How am I supposed to find the right planet?
1 of 8: Remember Captain Anderson's clue.
2 of 8: He said the right planet will have Prothean ruins on it.
3 of 8: So pick a system at random and travel to it, then scan all of its planets to see if any of them have Prothean ruins.
4 of 8: You don't have to land on a planet to scan it. Just click on it and read through its description.
5 of 8: If it includes nothing about Prothean ruins, zoom out and check another planet.
6 of 8: TIP: If a planet can't be landed on, you don't need to bother reading its description -- it clearly isn't the right one.
7 of 8: Through trial and error, you'll find that you want the planet Therum in the Knossos system.
8 of 8: Once you're there, choose a good combat-rated squad to accompany you down to the planet's surface.
