Mass Effect 2 Hints
How do I get out of this one?
1 of 7: Go over to the four now-active computers on the small platform overlooking the large unenterable test room and use them to see what they do.
2 of 7: They rotate the four big hanging-claw things in the test room that are each holding two parallel plates of reflective metal.
3 of 7: Try rotating the claws so that the test room's big electrical beam gets reflected to other parts of the room.
4 of 7: Start by using Computer 1 to get the beam reflected off to the left.
5 of 7: Then use Computer 2 to get the next claw in the sequence to rotate so that the beam can pass through its metal plates without being reflected. (Note that this requires you to use Computer 2 twice.)
6 of 7: Use Computer 4 three times to get the beam reflected off the third claw's plates to the fourth claw's plates.
7 of 7: Then use Computer 3 once to get the beam reflected to where it'll destroy something, resulting in the lab's exit door unlocking.
