Mass Effect 2 Hints

Find the Lab.

  • 1 of 8: Around the next corner, snipe down a couple of distant Blue Suns guys, then enter the trench and watch for more to appear ahead.
  • 2 of 8: Check the left side of the trench for a med kit, then move on to where you can exit the trench. When you do, quickly take cover on the left and shoot down the Blue Suns troops on the other side of the area. (Note that one has a rocket launcher.)
  • 3 of 8: When that area is clear, move on to the next one to find that you have a krogan ally. Help him shoot down the Blue Suns troops, then talk to him about the lab.
  • 4 of 8: Go through the wall hole that he makes for you, then loot the Blue Suns corpse for credits before moving on slowly. There are several hostiles ahead.
  • 5 of 8: Explore the pathways to find thermal clips, a med kit, and a box of refined platinum, then look past the platinum for some stairs that lead to a locked door. Open it via bypass minigame, then head up some more stairs to reach a room with power cells, a medical station, and a sniper rifle you can scan for a damage upgrade.
  • 6 of 8: When you open the next door, be ready for another big combat.
  • 7 of 8: Check the back of their area for a hackable PDA and a door. Past the door is a long slog through many groups of Blue Suns hostiles.
  • 8 of 8: Go through the door that's at the end of that long combat set, then loot the medical station and locked security terminal before going through the next door and finding Warlord Okeer. Talk to him to get your next objective.
