Mass Effect 3 Part 9 walkthrough: Find the M-451 Firestorm, Shotgun Shredder mod, and more as you navigate tunnels and fight Ravagers.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After regaining control of Shepherd, move down the tunnels and find the M-451 Firestorm heavy weapon next to a dead Krogan on the right.
  2. 2
    Use the M-451 Firestorm to destroy webs blocking your path and spore pods. Be aware that spore pods explode if you get too close.
  3. 3
    Proceed through the linear corridors until you reach a large open room and encounter your first Ravagers.
  4. 4
    Prioritize destroying the Barrier Engine quickly, using abilities like Overload.
  5. 5
    Set your squad to attack the Ravager while you deal with the swarming Husks and Cannibals.
  6. 6
    After defeating a Ravager, be mindful of the Swarmers it releases, as they inflict damage over time and prevent shield recharge.
  7. 7
    From where you dropped into the room, turn left to find the Shotgun Shredder mod (a community-made modification that changes the game).
  8. 8
    Move up the hill in the distance.
  9. 9
    At the base of this hill, find another Firestorm. Grab it and proceed to the top.
  10. 10
    Destroy the spore pods at the top of the hill with the Firestorm.
  11. 11
    Shortly after the pods, you will find a web with a barrier. To the right, locate a Reaper Node.
  12. 12
    Destroy the Reaper Node to remove the barrier, then burn the web.
  13. 13
    Continue onward, find another Firestorm, and proceed after a crash.
  14. 14
    Navigate the tunnels and look for Reaper Tech behind a side web.
  15. 15
    Before reaching another large room, check the body of a dead Krogan behind a web to find a message that starts Citadel: Krogan Dying Message.
  16. 16
    Enter the next large room and employ the same strategy as before, being aware of your height disadvantage.
  17. 17
    Destroy the Barrier Engine, stop the Husks, defeat the Ravager, and eliminate the Cannibals.
  18. 18
    Proceed further and be ambushed by a smaller, closer group; back up for better cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) if needed.
  19. 19
    After defeating this group, find a small slope to the right where a dead Krogan and the Spare Shotgun Ammo mod are located.
  20. 20
    Jump off and move forward, destroying Spore Pods to the left to find Reaper Tech.
  21. 21
    Find another Firestorm on the left, cross a bridge, and jump over a gap.
  22. 22
    In the new room, destroy more pods and find the ramp at the back right.
  23. 23
    At the point where you need to climb upward, find the Ariake Technologies Shoulder Guard.
  24. 24
    Destroy more pods and jump across another gap.
  25. 25
    Go down a ramp and locate the Aralakh squad in the distance to the right.
  26. 26
    Burn through some webs to find a dead Krogan with a med kit, a new Firestorm, and the Pistol Piercing mod.
  27. 27
    Destroy the nearby Reaper Node to regroup with the Aralakh Company.
  28. 28
    After regrouping, go through the door near the dead Krogan, destroy pods to the right to find more Reaper Tech, and enter a crawl space.
  29. 29
    On the other side, run to the dead end and look up to find a Reaper Node above you. Destroy it.
  30. 30
    This will trigger an attack from your left flank with two Ravagers, Husks, and Cannibals. Use cover on the left, but be cautious of grenades.
  31. 31
    Have your squad focus on one Ravager while you slow advancing Husks with biotics like singularities. Use Medi-gel if necessary.
  32. 32
    After dealing with most Husks, use biotics to hinder Cannibals.
  33. 33
    Once the Ravagers are dealt with, clean up remaining enemies.
  34. 34
    Move past the dead enemies and destroy another Reaper Node to start another wave.
  35. 35
    In the next fight, use similar tactics, but be aware of Swarmers. Find cover behind a large section of rock.
  36. 36
    After clearing this group, move to the central bridge for another similar fight, moving backward to control the pace.
  37. 37
    After defeating this group, go past them, destroy another Node, and fight one more group with less cover.
