System Shock 2 Hints
Where are all the black annelid eggs?
1 of 18: SHODAN will tell you that you need to destroy 16 black annelid eggs located on the Rickenbacker.
2 of 18: All of those eggs are in Pod 1.
3 of 18: All of them are located in places that you are likely to find in your normal quest-solving, but if you need to know exact locations, read ahead for them.
4 of 18: 1) To the west after you've climbed up the ladder on the umbilical level (i.e., it's in front of you when looking out into the room). It will be in front of another ladder.
5 of 18: 2) In a section at the top of a ladder to the south of the ladder from the umbilical level.
6 of 18: 3) At the bottom of the ramp in the fuel cell room.
7 of 18: 4) Above the hull breach and below Support Control Room B.
8 of 18: 5) On top of the fuel cells. You'll see this when you try to cross the thin pipes that cut across the fuel cell room.
9 of 18: 6) At the top of the broken pair of ladders leading from the fuel cell room to the nacelles. (A security station is also near the top of this shaft.)
10 of 18: 7) Near a pair of turrets just past the Chemical Storeroom above Nacelle A.
11 of 18: 8) In the Morgue, which is past the Chemical Storeroom.
12 of 18: 9) Near a laser turret in a room off the nacelle steam vents, with a window looking out to space.
13 of 18: 10) Halfway down the ladder from the nacelle steam vents to Nacelle B.
14 of 18: 11, 12) In front of the door to Nacelle B.
15 of 18: 13) In Nacelle B, behind a turret and somewhat hidden by a leaky steam pipe.
16 of 18: 14) On the wall past a surgical unit on the way to Pod 2.
17 of 18: 15) Just before the missile storage room in Pod 2, in a room with a few protocol droid crates.
18 of 18: 16) Past Missile Control, just before the elevator to Pod 2.
