Mass Effect 3 Hints
Locate Central Chamber.
1 of 8: The left and right paths both lead to the same area, but the left one has fewer pods to flame. Just past where the paths merge, burn some webbing to find reaper tech that you can salvage for credits.
2 of 8: Around the next corner, melee-whack the lone husk, then sprint past the spore pods to explode several of them harmlessly. Note that you may want to flame the rest, since there are two webbing-covered niches with dead krogans in them. One has a message for someone on the Citadel, and another one has a Firestorm weapon.
3 of 8: Quicksave right before the following drop-down, since you'll be fighting two ravagers in the area ahead (one at a time).
4 of 8: Explore the large cavern to find two dead krogans with ammo next to them. Near the one that also has a Shotgun Spare Ammo mod is a drop-down to the next area.
5 of 8: Starting there, the pods you encounter will be gestation pods that usually contain swarmers. Either stay back and let your squad shoot them, or let the swarmers hit you, then wait for your shields to respawn. (Note that one of your squad members may go a little nuts at this point and run ahead, detonating bunches of pods. If so, wait where you are until all the swarmers are killed.)
6 of 8: Look for some reaper tech to salvage behind one of the first sets of pods, then move along, watching for a dead krogan with a Firestorm weapon and some ammo near him. Past a gap-jump, look for another dead krogan with ammo and an Ariake Technologies Shoulder Guard next to him.
7 of 8: Avoid or destroy more gestation pods as you do some cover-climbs and a gap-jump, then move on to where you get the next objective. After it's done, look nearby for a med kit, a Pistol Piercing Mod mod, and a Firestorm weapon.
8 of 8: Destroy the pods in the next area and salvage the reaper tech near them, then go up to the narrow passage and examine it. After a cut-scene, you'll have the "Central Chamber" objective.
