Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head through the first room, checking bookshelves for a Shotgun Combat Knife mod and grabbing Shotgun Spare Ammo from the floor after hopping a gap.
  2. 2
    In the next room, kill enemies dropping from a shuttle before they reach the Pod. Use the Pod's control panel to ascend. Check a terminal for credits and proceed through a hole in the wall.
  3. 3
    Continue along the balcony, killing distant enemies. Find a Pistol High Caliber Barrel mod inside.
  4. 4
    Ascend the stairs to face engineers and turrets. Use Overload and Warp (if available) to deal with them. Stun engineers without shields before killing them. Grab salvage on the right and proceed through a locked door by standing at the authorization terminal.
  5. 5
    Grab a med kit and ammo after the door.
  6. 6
    In the next area, loot the Armax Arsenal Greaves from a desk. Go further back for a Sentry Interface and Spare Parts. Consider going upstairs for a better vantage point on enemies below, being wary of those with jetpacks.
  7. 7
    Proceed to the Pod, clearing enemies. Grab a Pistol Scope mod near a research terminal. Activate the power conduit and find the Scorpion pistol in a corner. Return to the Pod and ascend.
  8. 8
    After the Pod ascends, kill attacking Cerberus troops. Jump a gap and grab the M-13 Raptor. Climb a ladder to the top floor.
  9. 9
    On the top floor, kill Cerberus troops, prioritizing those coming up the stairs. Clear the lower level enemies. Activate the button to move the Pod to the landing pad.
  10. 10
    An Atlas Mech will appear. Back up and focus fire with your squad to defeat it. Clear any remaining Cerberus troops.
  11. 11
    Head to the meeting room for a chat, then the War room to speak with Victus and the Urdnot leader for new missions.
  12. 12
    Go to the CIC to listen to Traynar, check messages, and proceed to the Crew Quarters. Talk to Engineer Adams and Dr. Chakwas.
  13. 13
    Visit the Med Bay to speak with Mordin and Eve. Then, talk to Garrus and listen to Liara's conversation with Wrex.
  14. 14
    Check Liara's terminal for a message and optionally speak with Engineer Daniels in Engineering. You can choose a side in an argument between Allers and an ensign.
  15. 15
    Head to the Shuttle Bay to talk with James and Cortez (optional). Finally, go to the cockpit to listen to Joker and EDI. Depart for the Citadel.
  16. 16
    Citadel: Visit the hospital for a Medi-gel upgrade. Check the Spectre HQ terminal for authorization. Report to Barla Von in the Commons to complete _Citadel: Barla Von_.
  17. 17
    Go to the hospital and speak with the Asari Scientist in the Inpatient Wing to complete _Citadel: Biotic Amp Interfaces_.

Attican Traverse: The Rachni

  1. Travel to the Ninmah Cluster, Mulla Xul, and the planet Utukku. A squad with at least one biotic is recommended. Overload will be helpful.
  2. Drop to the planet and meet the Krogan Squad (potentially led by Grunt). Talk to the leader.
  3. Check the building to your left for Salvage, the M-300 Claymore, and the Pistol High Caliber Barrel.
  4. Head down the hill and check the next building on your left for an SMG High Caliber Barrel and salvage outside.
  5. Talk to the Aralakh leader and enter the building.
