Mass Effect 2 Hints

Find Demo Charges.

  • 1 of 10: Run over to the red railing and take cover against it quickly, since a couple of geth will appear in the area past it. (If not, go down the ramp to get them to appear.)
  • 2 of 10: Go down a big ramp and look to the left for a few more geth, then move toward the large open doorway with the six little lights over it cautiously.
  • 3 of 10: Shoot down the geth that come out after you, then move up next to the big concrete blocks to the left of the doorway for cover while shooting the geth who are still inside.
  • 4 of 10: After they're all down, go inside and look on the table to the left of a big ramp to find Tali's journal and the first set of demolition charges. Before you pick up the charges, take a look around for supplies.
  • 5 of 10: After getting the charges, quickly take cover behind the big crate stack near the ramp, since several geth (including a powerful geth prime) will appear outside and attack.
  • 6 of 10: Finish them off, then leave the building and turn left to find several more geth to fight. Watch for more (including a geth destroyer) coming out through an open doorway in the back of the area.
  • 7 of 10: Look around for supplies after finishing them off, then get the second demolition charge from the small room that's past the back doorway.
  • 8 of 10: As before, expect a big geth attack as you leave.
  • 9 of 10: Go back the way you came and locate the big collapsed pillar that's directly across from the building you found the first demo charge in.
  • 10 of 10: Go up to the pillar and activate it to plant the charges, then run away to avoid being harmed by the explosion. (Note that when the on-screen timer turns green, you're safe.)
