Complete the Excavate Resources mission in Mass Effect 2 by bypassing a mech and finding power cells in Caleston Rift.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Locate the mission on the galaxy map under 'Excavate Resources' in the Talava System, specifically on the planet Taitus (the 3rd planet).
  2. 2
    Bypass the mech to activate it.
  3. 3
    The mech will slowly travel through the canyon, clearing obstacles. It will stop periodically when it runs out of power.
  4. 4
    When the mech stops, locate a nearby power cell and insert it to get the mech moving again. You do not need to stay with the mech; you can run ahead to find the cells.
  5. 5
    The mech will eventually explode while clearing the path.
  6. 6
    Pick up the platinum to end the mission.
Tips
  • There are only two enemies on this mission: two Varren.
  • You have an opportunity to ambush the Varren at the start.
  • The rest of the mission is relaxed once the Varren are dealt with.
