Mass Effect 3 Hints
Activate the Hammers.
1 of 8: The first stage of this objective requires you to move directly toward the reaper without getting blasted by it. There's a good chance that you'll be killed instantly during this process, so you may have to retry it many times.
2 of 8: Move forward until you do a drop-down, after which the reaper will drop several brutes into the area ahead. Wait for the reaper to stomp on a spot nearby, then sprint forward and past the nearest brute.
3 of 8: Turn right and sprint toward the right-side area that has one of the two maw hammer controls. The reaper will stomp again (maybe twice) as you go that way, and may damage you. If so, use your First Aid power to heal yourself, then sprint onward. (Note that if you keep left as you go, you'll have a smaller chance of being hit by a stomp.)
4 of 8: When you reach the maw hammer's control, use it, then go around behind it and wait for all of the brutes to catch up to you. They probably won't be able to attack you back there, and you can take your time killing them off. (Note that there is a chance one can get back there with you, so you may want to sprint back the way you came as soon as you activate the hammer control.)
5 of 8: Sprint all the way across the area, healing with First Aid if a reaper stomp does you any damage, to reach the second maw hammer control.
6 of 8: Use it to start a long series of cut-scenes that will eventually get you the second "Priority: The Citadel" mission. Read on for some important info about those cut-scenes.
7 of 8: If you revealed the Dalatrass' plan earlier, your conversation with Mordin will only have an optional paragon interrupt.
