Mass Effect 3 Hints
Kite's Nest: Pillars of Strength
1 of 6: After getting the "Priority: Sur'Kesh" mission, visit the Citadel's docks holding area. Approach the guy named "the Preacher" in Cargo Hold C to get this mission.
2 of 6: Travel to the Kite's Nest cluster and start scanning its entry system.
3 of 6: Note that the reapers are very sensitive to scans in this system, so you'll probably want to quicksave before you start scanning.
4 of 6: The artifact you need is on the planet Khar'shan, which is a bit to the "left" of the sun.
5 of 6: Do a scan near that planet, then orbit the planet and scan it to find the Pillars of Strength artifact.
6 of 6: Return to the Citadel and talk to the Preacher to get some credits, some rep points, and a war asset.
