Mass Effect 2 Hints

Escape the Wreck.

  • 1 of 7: Play the nearby work log, then move along the walkway slowly until you hear husks groaning ahead.
  • 2 of 7: After you finish off the last of them, look for thermal clips and a work log, then go up a ramp to see some husks being shot down by an unseen sniper.
  • 3 of 7: Grab the nearby supplies, then go down the left small ramp to start the next big husk combat.
  • 4 of 7: Look for supplies in the husks' area, then bypass the locked door that's in a side area back near the two little ramps.
  • 5 of 7: Open the next door to get a cut-scene with the sniper from earlier, then get ready for a long series of combats with husks and scions. (Watch for opportunities to quicksave between combats.)
  • 6 of 7: Search for thermal clips, then go down the two big ramps past the last combat area to find a med kit and a door that you'll need to bypass open.
  • 7 of 7: Past that door, take the Reaper IFF item from the small terminal table.
