Mass Effect 3 Hints
Ismar Frontier: Prototype Components
1 of 6: Return to the Citadel's hospital area after getting the "Priority: Sur'Kesh" mission, then go through the medical decontamination chamber. A short way past it, go through the door on the left to overhear the conversation that gives you this mission.
2 of 6: Travel to the Ismar Frontier cluster and start scanning its entry system.
3 of 6: The components you need are on the planet Metaponto, which is a bit "left" of the mass relay.
4 of 6: Do a scan near that planet, then orbit the planet and scan it to find the Advanced Biotic Implants intel item.
5 of 6: NOTE: You can go to the intel terminal in Liara's room on the crew deck and use it, then choose to upgrade your powers' damage or cooldown rate.
6 of 6: Return to where you got this mission in the Citadel's hospital to trigger a brief cut-scene and get some XP.
