Mass Effect 2 Hints
Tuchanka Tour
1 of 9: Turn left when you first enter Tuchanka to find Ratch's shop area.
2 of 9: Pet the varren named Urz, then talk to Ratch to get the "Tuchanka: Killing Pyjaks" optional assignment.
3 of 9: After you finish it, shop at Ratch's store to get a discount on whatever you buy.
4 of 9: You can also get a piece of pyjak meat from his store. Do so, then talk to Urz and feed the pyjak meat to him to get him to follow you around.
5 of 9: Use the pit fight gambling station that's east of the defense gun area, and place a bet on Urz.
6 of 9: Go up the ramp that's left of the gambling station and talk to the mechanic to get the "Tuchanka: Combustion Manifold" optional assignment.
7 of 9: East of the mechanic is the infirmary, where you'll find a recuperating Urz if he lost a pit fight.
8 of 9: There's also a pyjak on a crate that you can punch for fun, plus the Fortack's Database store terminal that sells four upgrades.
9 of 9: Even though you can talk to Fortack nearby, there's no way to get a discount at his store right away. You'll have to finish the "Grunt: Rite of Passage" mission first.
