Mass Effect Hints
Disable the Torches
1 of 6: The situation here is that three huge fusion torches are being used to propel the asteroid on a collision course with the nearby populated world of Terra Nova.
2 of 6: Checking your area map, you'll see that all three fusion torches are marked on it. You'll need to go around and disable all of them (in any order).
3 of 6: There are two things to do in each fusion torch area: defeat the facility building's exterior defenses, and go into the building to turn off the fusion torch.
4 of 6: The exterior defenses are the same for each facility building no matter what order you visit them in, but the interiors are rigged so that you'll always get a certain one in the first building you enter (no matter which one it is), another certain one in the second building, and similarly with the third building.
5 of 6: Below are tips on defeating each of the three buildings' exterior defenses, followed by tips on handling each building's interior area. Note that the exterior defense tips are labeled according to location, and the interior tips are labeled by order of visit.
