Detailed walkthrough for Part 5 of Mass Effect 3, covering combat strategies, item locations, and key character interactions on the moon and Citadel.
Walkthrough
- 1When attacked by Husks while a squadmate works on the tower, use biotic crowd control like Singularity. James is recommended for the tower task.
- 2After defeating enough Husks, James will descend. Continue fighting until the General makes contact with his people.
- 3Return to the base and speak with the General to learn about the next Primarch candidate on the moon.
- 4Send Liara back to the ship and prepare to defend the base. Exit and take cover.
- 5Engage Marauders, who have shields and can toughen other enemies. Use Overload (Garrus) and focus fire on Marauders first due to their shields and support abilities.
- 6Defeat multiple waves of enemies, checking your radar frequently.
- 7Locate an Assault Rifle Magazine mod behind the second set of cover upon entering the area.
- 8Find Salvage on the far right on a slightly raised area.
- 9Return to the base and climb to the gun emplacement.
- 10Use the gun (50 shots before reload), aiming at the top of the cliffs where Husks slow down.
- 11A Brute will attack and knock you off the wall. Use slow-firing weapons for damage to armor and Warp. Command allies to focus fire on the Brute.
- 12After the Brute is dead, clear any remaining Husks.
- 13Follow Garrus along a winding path. Look for a datapad amongst dead bodies.
- 14Check another group of bodies for a second Datapad.
- 15After passing the bodies, fight off attacking Husks by back-pedaling.
- 16Jump a gap to find Med Kit, a Datapad, and the Sniper Rifle Spare Ammo mod near some Turians.
- 17Pass another Med Kit on your right later, then reach a new camp.
- 18In the camp, take cover just inside the doors and fight Marauders and Cannibals. Use Overload and prioritize killing Marauders, then Cannibals. Avoid their grenades.
- 19Climb to the higher level. You will be attacked by a Marauder and a Brute. Focus fire on the Brute after taking out the Marauder. Use a protected area to maneuver.
- 20More Marauders will swarm, followed by two more Brutes. It seems Marauders won't stop until Brutes are dead. Focus fire on one Brute at a time, while keeping an eye on incoming Marauders. Use Overload to manage Marauders.
- 21After defeating the Brutes, clear the camp. Check the open area behind you for a Med Kit and a Sniper Rifle Enhanced Scope mod.
- 22Check left near a building for another Med Kit.
- 23After clearing the camp, speak with the General and leave.
- 24Normandy 2: Talk on Comm, then enter the War Room to speak with the Primarch. Go to the third floor behind Chakwas Med Bay to meet the new EDI at the AI Mainframe. Talk to Joker and EDI twice on the flight deck. Talk to Traynar and check messages. Go to the Shuttle Bay and talk to James. Return to Crew Quarters to talk to Garrus, then Liara.
- 25Citadel 2: Talk to Dr. Michel and Thane in the Hospital Lobby and visit your wounded comrade.
- 26Go to the Embassy level, turn left, and speak with a Volus Diplomat to complete _Shrike Abyssal: Prothean Obelisk_.
- 27Head to the stairs and speak with Jondum Bau in the hall to enter the Spectre room.
- 28Check the terminal in the Spectre room for two new entries. Authorize the pardon for the two Engineers and enable the other entry.
- 29Use the terminal immediately to your left after going down the stairs.
- 30Use the terminal across the room.
- 31Use the terminal on your left as you enter.
- 32Proceed through the holding area and use the terminal on the right wall at the end.
- 33Return to the lift and use the terminal there again before leaving.
- 34Head to the embassies and meet Jondum Bau again.
- 35Visit the Docks Holding Area. Go through the blue beams and side with one of the two people arguing at the desk.
- 36Go up the long aisle and enter the first room on the right to talk to a Preacher and finish _Kite's Nest: Pillars of Strength_.
- 37Talk to Garrus.
