Mass Effect 2 Escape walkthrough: defeat Collectors, Abominations, and a Praetorian. Includes item locations and mission rewards.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Follow the path until you reach a room with cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) positions. Defeat the three attacking Collectors.
  2. 2
    After the first wave, more Collectors will attack from the east and north.
  3. 3
    Advance slightly to trigger another attack from the east, featuring Abominations and more Collectors.
  4. 4
    Drop down when ready. EDI will open a door, but a Praetorian will attack, accompanied by two Husks and two Collector Drones. Prioritize defeating the Husks and Collector Drones first to create space.
  5. 5
    Evade the Praetorian's long-range attacks, ground stomps, and deadly area effect pulse waves that occur every 25% of its health. Use cover and sprint to new positions as needed.
  6. 6
    After exiting the next hallway, more Collectors will fly in from the west.
  7. 7
    Defeat the Abominations coming from the north and east. Use the far pods as cover.
  8. 8
    As you advance, more Collectors will enter the room. A Scion will approach from the south. Defeat the Collectors above first, then engage the Scion.
  9. 9
    When Joker contacts you, prepare to sprint. Dodge enemies and run for the shuttle down the ramp to escape.

Items:

  • Collector Technology (7500)
  • Power Cells
  • Med Kit
  • Element Zero (250)
  • Collector Technology (7500)

Tips
  • The Praetorian is similar to the one encountered on Horizon. Keep your distance and use cover effectively.
  • The Reaper IFF mission and the final mission are the only required missions left after this point.
  • Consider completing all squad loyalty missions before obtaining the Reaper IFF to ensure everyone survives.
  • For a completionist playthrough, finish all sidequests and maximize upgrades before the Reaper IFF.
  • Completing the Reaper IFF early can unlock unique cutscenes.
  • New items may appear in shops around the galaxy at this point; check them after completing this mission.
