Mass Effect 2 Hints

Take Elevator.

  • 1 of 5: Past the door, turn left and run up to the left side of a large doorway. From here on to the elevator, you'll encounter one Eclipse thug combat after another.
  • 2 of 5: After you reach the elevator, go down the side corridor past it for supplies, then return to the elevator and try to open it.
  • 3 of 5: Run for cover a ways back from the elevator, ready to blast the krogan and Eclipse guys who are in it as soon as the doors open.
  • 4 of 5: After finishing them off, enter the elevator and use its console.
  • 5 of 5: In the cut-scene following the ride, watch for a Renegade interrupt that lets you punch the merc through the nearby window. (Refrain from doing that if you'd rather have a chance for Paragon points.)
