Mass Effect Legendary Edition .3Q.02. Escape walkthrough: Learn how to defeat Collectors, Abominations, and a Praetorian, and find Collector Technology.

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 group, another wave of Collectors will attack from the east and north.
  3. 3
    Advance slightly and more enemies from the east will approach, including Abominations and another wave of 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.
  5. 5
    Prioritize defeating the Husks and Collector Drones first to create space to maneuver.
  6. 6
    The Praetorian hovers and attacks from long distance, stomps the ground to knock you back, and emits a deadly area effect pulse wave with a barrier at every 25% of its health. Keep your distance and sprint to new cover as needed.
  7. 7
    After exiting the next hallway, more Collectors will fly in from the west.
  8. 8
    Abominations will also attack: one from a ramp to the north, and two from the east. Use the far pods as cover and hang back until these enemies are defeated.
  9. 9
    Advance slightly, and more Collectors will fly into the room. A Scion will approach from the south but will not reach you immediately.
  10. 10
    Defeat the Collectors on the upper level first, then peek around the wall to engage the enemies from the south.
  11. 11
    When Joker contacts you, prepare to sprint. Dodge enemies and run for the shuttle down the ramp, making your narrow escape.

  • To ensure all squadmates survive, complete all loyalty missions before obtaining the Reaper IFF.
  • For a completionist playthrough, consider finishing all sidequests and maximizing upgrades before the Reaper IFF.
  • Completing the Reaper IFF early can unlock specific scenes, including one before seeing the Councilor on the Citadel and a larger one before Tali's mission.
  • Consider completing N7 missions or other sidequests now that you have weapon upgrades and advanced training options.
