Mass Effect 2 Hints

Defend the Tower.

  • 1 of 6: More collectors, including a Harbinger-possessed one, will come in right after this objective starts.
  • 2 of 6: Run quickly back to the truck bed you used as cover before, and position your two followers near it to help cover you.
  • 3 of 6: Collectors will often take cover next to the tower (or a bit to the right of it) and wait you out, so you'll occasionally have to move off the truck bed (or send your squad in) to shoot them.
  • 4 of 6: After the first batch is down, look for more to drop in all over the place, including one in your truck bed. Take it down fast, then turn to target the others.
  • 5 of 6: Soon after that wave is down, a huge flying freak called a praetorian will appear.
  • 6 of 6: After the praetorian is destroyed, you'll get the mission-ending cut-scenes and move on to Part 5: Dossier and Loyalty Missions.
