Guide to Feros: The Thorian mission in Mass Effect: Legendary Edition. Learn how to deal with Jeong, use Anti-Thorian Gas, and fight Thorian Creepers at Zhu's Hope.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You'll overhear chatter that leads Lizbeth to leave. Follow her to the Weigh Station.
  2. 2
    Jeong is present and following ExoGeni orders. You can pass a Charm (12 ranks) or Intimidate (10 ranks) check to avoid violence. Choosing Charm grants Paragon +26, while Intimidate grants Renegade +27.
  3. 3
    After dealing with Jeong, speak with Juliana about the colonists. She suggests using nerve gas (via grenades) to incapacitate them.
  4. 4
    Agreeing to use the gas grants Paragon +2; declining grants Renegade +2. Juliana will give you the Anti-Thorian Gas grenade mod.
  5. 5
    Equip the Anti-Thorian Gas mod if you wish to save the colonists. Each colonist pacified grants Paragon +2, while each killed grants Renegade +2.
  6. 6
    Talk to Gavin Hossle and give him his data to complete his assignment.
  7. 7
    Return to the Mako and drive to Zhu’s Hope, encountering geth Juggernauts and Armatures.
  8. 8
    As you approach the elevator structure to Zhu’s Hope, you will encounter a Thorian Creeper. Defeat it.
  9. 9
    When your squad asks for clarification, respond with _”Careful. Leave the colonists.”_ to have a better chance of using the gas non-lethally, or _”Wipe everything out.”_ to proceed with lethal force.
  10. 10
    Enter the structure housing the elevator to Zhu’s Hope and fight through numerous Thorian Creepers. Equip armor mods for toxin resistance and health regeneration. Shotguns are effective.
  11. 11
    You can either use Anti-Thorian Gas grenades to incapacitate the colonists near the elevators or gun them down. A counter on the screen indicates the number of colonists remaining.
  12. 12
    Ride the elevator down, fight more Creepers, and dispatch two more colonists.
  13. 13
    Continue downstairs, fight more Creepers, and reach Zhu’s Hope, where four colonists are behind barricades. Be wary of Arcelia Silva Martinez.
  14. 14
    Proceed through the colony, up stairs, along a walkway, dealing with more Creepers and two colonists.
  15. 15
    Head downstairs to find the last resistance: approximately eight Creepers and four colonists. Command your squad to take cover and bait the Creepers.
Tips
  • Equip armor mods that grant toxin resistance and health regeneration (Medical Interface or Medical Exoskeleton) to combat Thorian Creepers effectively.
  • Shotguns are highly effective against Thorian Creepers.
  • If you wish to save colonists, use the Anti-Thorian Gas grenade mod.
  • For better outcomes in later games, try to keep as many colonists alive as possible.
  • When fighting Creepers near colonists, command your squad to shelter behind structures to shoot Creepers while remaining out of the colonists' line of sight.
  • Paragon/Renegade points based on choices regarding Jeong and the colonists.
  • Anti-Thorian Gas grenade mod from Juliana.
