Mass Effect 2 Hints

Go to Heretic Station.

  • 1 of 12: Travel to the new cluster called The Phoenix Massing, then go to the Sea of Storms system.
  • 2 of 12: Enter orbit around the heretic station, then dock with it.
  • 3 of 12: After a conversation with Legion, move forward and look for a med kit, then go down the ramp and enter a room with green data-stream lines on its floor.
  • 4 of 12: In the next corridor are two inactive rocket drones that you can use to your advantage.
  • 5 of 12: Past that is another green data-stream area with two geth nodes.
  • 6 of 12: Past the next door, look around the corner for a couple more geth to kill before proceeding to the end of the corridor for a med kit and a thermal clip.
  • 7 of 12: Go up two ramps and turn right to find a couple more geth to destroy, then go through a door to find another large combat area.
  • 8 of 12: Past that area, look for supplies on the way to the next inactive rocket drone.
  • 9 of 12: Storm over to the rocket drone and activate it before taking cover next to a crate. After it kills the nearby geth for you, go back the other way and look for a geth terminal you can bypass to get the second geth shield strength upgrade.
  • 10 of 12: Past the door near the rocket drone, go down some ramps and through another door to reach another green data-stream room. As with the last one, step on the data stream, then retreat and wait for geth to come to you. (If they don't, you'll have to move in to find them.)
  • 11 of 12: Blast and salvage both geth hubs, then go through the newly unlocked door and examine the geth servers through one of the big windows to get a conversation with Legion.
  • 12 of 12: In the next room, look around to find two inactive rocket drones, plus a med kit next to a geth terminal. Use the terminal and talk to Legion about what to do next.
