Mass Effect 2 Hints

Investigate Wreckage.

  • 1 of 10: From where the shuttle drops you off, go straight forward as far as you can, then look to the right for a large ramp leading down.
  • 2 of 10: Past its bottom, turn right and go down another ramp and then some stairs.
  • 3 of 10: You'll then come to a large gap that you need to cross.
  • 4 of 10: Grab the refined iridium that's just past the gap, then head up two more ramps to find another iridium box.
  • 5 of 10: Run along the narrow ramp-like thing until you can vault yourself onto some flooring.
  • 6 of 10: Turn left and make your way along to where you can use a very short and narrow beam piece to get onto some darker flooring.
  • 7 of 10: Move down it until you can turn right and run across a large beam, then turn right again and look for a ramp you can use to get down to another iridium box.
  • 8 of 10: Go down some creaky stairs, then turn around and go back across them after they collapse to find yet another iridium box.
  • 9 of 10: Run up the stairs near it, then go over to where you can use a narrow beam to get across to the flashing red area.
  • 10 of 10: Use its mainframe access panel to finish the assignment and return to the Normandy.
