Mass Effect 3 Hints
Shalmar Plaza.
1 of 7: Enter the nearby sporting goods store, then turn right and go through its other large doorway. As soon as you do, a shuttle will show up and drop off a few Cerberus troops.
2 of 7: Reenter the store and take cover under its broken-out corner window. This group of enemies includes a "phantom," which is fast and can cloak himself. You'll want to get him interested in a squad member if possible to make him easier to shoot down. The Singularity power can also be useful against him.
3 of 7: After those enemies are all killed, leave the store and move down to where there are some stairs on the left. Quickly take cover against the stairs' railing, since some of the enemies ahead are of a sniper class called "nemesis." They don't have very fast firing rates, but each of their shots does a lot of damage.
4 of 7: The only thing that's upstairs is a heat sink, so go past those stairs and another set to find a gap to jump. As soon as you reach the other side, take cover next to the nearby shuttle and start shooting at the phantoms and nemesis guys who are just ahead. When the phantoms get close, jump back across the gap to gain maneuvering space.
5 of 7: Move ahead to a room with a sealed door, then jump through the large broken-out window and drop down to a lower ledge. From there, you can cover-climb your way into a narrow passage, then drop down to a lower floor.
6 of 7: Turn right and drop onto a walkway, then jump a gap. Cover-climb onto a higher floor, then turn left to find some credits to salvage. On the other side of the floor is a narrow passage you can cover-climb your way into.
7 of 7: At its other end, do a cover-climb and a couple of drop-downs to get the next objective.
