Mass Effect 2 Hints
Confront Harkin.
1 of 10: After a brief cut-scene, you'll find yourself under cover fighting some Blue Suns mercs. Finish them off, then go through a couple of doors to reach a large room.
2 of 10: Check the nearby trash can for credits, then raid the med kit on the table. Moving past the med kit will get you some small LOKI mech combats that you can easily handle, using all the crates scattered about for cover.
3 of 10: Fight your way to the other end of the area, then check the left wall for a safe you can bypass for credits. In the next huge warehouse area, look on the left for a med kit and some circuit boards you can bypass for credits.
4 of 10: Go over to the right side of the area and fight your way gradually down it, just like you did before. Look for two sets of salvageable circuit boards on the right as you go, but don't try to bypass them if there are any hostiles nearby.
5 of 10: At the other end of the area, look for power cells and a med kit, plus refined iridium and a hackable laptop that'll get you some credits.
6 of 10: Use the bridge controls to lower the raised bridge that's right in front of you, then run forward for cover as you begin another crate-area combat. This one is tougher, since there's a Black Sun commander and a YMIR mech involved.
7 of 10: After they're all toast, move on down to find a med kit, some bypassable circuit boards, and a door to Harkin's office. Raid the medical station, power cell box, and locked wall safe in there, then pick up the forged IDs to get the "Citadel: Found Forged ID" optional quest.
8 of 10: Use the window console to get a conversation with Garrus, then go through the office's side door. Hack a terminal for a sniper rifle damage upgrade, then go through the next door to start up a big combat with mechs and mercs.
9 of 10: After it's all over, go up the big ramp and vault up all the platforms and crates that are over on the left side.
10 of 10: That'll get you to Harkin and start the mission-ending cut-scenes. (Note that you can earn lots of Paragon points by preventing Garrus from shooting Harkin and Sidonis.)
