Guide to disabling the Blood Pack Communications Relay in Mass Effect Legendary Edition. Learn enemy types, item locations, and strategies for the Lusarn system mission.

Alright, let's tackle the Blood Pack Communications Relay mission in the Cresent Nebula's Lusarn system, specifically on the planet Tarith. You'll see this pop up on your Galaxy Map as 'Disable Blood Pack Relay.'

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    As you navigate the level, make sure to activate the beacons you come across. The main path is pretty straightforward, and while there are a few detours, they mostly just lead to some extra minerals. The fog can be a bit annoying, and there's a fair bit of walking, but just keep pushing forward.
  2. 2
    Around the third beacon, you'll encounter your first Klixen. These guys are a bit like Rachni but explode into a gooey mess when defeated. On higher difficulties, they'll have armor, but it's not too tough to break through.
  3. 3
    Keep an eye out, because you'll run into groups of Klixen a few times: first a pair, then three a bit later, and then another pair further on.
  4. 4
    There's a section where a beacon is near a hill. If you check the top of that hill, you'll find some Blood Pack enemies guarding a bit of platinum. Nothing else super important up there, though.
  5. 5
    When you reach the end of the main path, you'll face a final group. This includes some Blood Pack troopers, a couple of Boom-Squad units (watch out for their heavy weapons!), and the Krogan boss, Salamul. He's tough and charges right at you, so he should be your primary target.
  6. 6
    Once you've dealt with Salamul and his crew, you'll see a Communications Terminal. Interact with it to bypass it and get a new mission: 'Destroy Blood Pack Base.'

Enemy Defenses: Expect enemies to have Armor and Barrier. The Klixen and Blood Pack Troopers are fairly standard, but the Boom-Squad and Salamul (the Krogan) will definitely have both Armor and Barrier.

Items: You'll find Raw Materials worth 400 Platinum twice, and another 400 Platinum as well.

Tips
  • Focus on Salamul first when you reach the final encounter. His charge attack can be deadly if you don't deal with him quickly.
  • Don't get too bogged down exploring every nook and cranny for items. The main rewards are on the critical path, and the side paths mainly offer minerals.
  • The Klixen's explosion can be a hazard, so try to back up a bit after you take them down.
