Walkthrough for the UNC: Espionage Probe assignment in Mass Effect: Legendary Edition. Learn how to start the mission, find the probe, disarm the bomb, and defeat Elanos Haliat.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    There are two ways to begin this Assignment:
    • Hack a terminal at Zhu's Hope on Feros during the events there. This will start the Assignment under the name 'Investigate Shipments'.
  2. 2
    Travel to the Amazon system in the Voyager Cluster and speak with Admiral Hackett. He will give you the details of the Assignment, named 'UNC: Espionage Probe'.
  3. 3
    Make your way to the planet Agebinium.
  4. 4
    Once on the planet, head to the Alliance Homing Beacon located to the northwest.
  5. 5
    Exit your Mako and enter the mine.
  6. 6
    Proceed to the back of the mine and enter the only available room to find the probe.
  7. 7
    Upon examining the probe, a detonator will activate, and Elanos Haliat will contact you.
  8. 8
    You will have 10 seconds to attempt to disarm the bomb. If you fail, the timer resets.
  9. 9
    Decrypt three hardpoints of the Probe using the mini-games (PC and Console versions differ) or spend 100 Omni-Gel per part.
  10. 10
    After disarming the probe, the path you entered through will be blocked by debris. Take the other available door to exit the mine from a different location.
  11. 11
    You will emerge on a cliff overlooking a mercenary camp, with Haliat and his men present.
  12. 12
    You have two options:
    • Use a sniper rifle to engage them from your current position.
  13. 13
    Carefully make your way down to your Mako and use its Main Cannon to defeat Haliat and his men.
Tips
  • The 10-second timer for disarming the bomb pauses between attempts, allowing you to try as many times as needed.
  • If you have enough Omni-Gel, using it to bypass the decryption mini-games can save time.
  • The Mako's main cannon is highly effective against Haliat and his mercenaries.
