Mass Effect 2: Eclipse Smuggling Depot - N7 walkthrough Mass Effect 2 guide, walkthrough

Last update: 02 June 2021

Received from: Aria T'Loak [Omega - Market district]

Description: You'll have a chance to start this mission after completing another assignment - Omega: Datapad Recovered. Don't forget that you have to agree to Aria giving you the location of the smuggling depot. Open the galaxy map and confirm that you want to travel to the Hourglass nebula. You'll then have to use a fuel depot in Osun system to purchase fuel and probes. Fly to a nearby Faryar system where you'll have to locate a planet named Daratar. You won't have to scan the planet's surface - start landing procedures right away.

Wait until you're transported to [Daratar - Eclipse depot]. I would strongly recommend that you save your current progress here, because this mission can end in a failure if you'll act too slow. Start off by moving forward and order your team members to take cover near the main battlefield. You'll now have to start attacking YMIR mechs. Don't forget that each mech is protected by shields and armor.

There are three YMIR mechs in the area and you must eliminate all of them before they manage to destroy all 20 crates with smuggled goods. Naturally each time you should be focused on attacking a single target and keep using heavy weapons. Don't worry about running out of ammunition, because you'll find power cells on a nearby landing site (second screenshot).

Once you've eliminated all the mechs you should spend some time looking around. There are two computer terminals with interesting messages. You can also find a med kit in the area, as well as a container with 500 units of element zero. Return to the Normandy by going back to the shuttle or by pressing and holding the F key. Make sure to read a new e-mail using one of available personal terminals. The amount of credits you'll receive depends on how many crates you've been able to save from being destroyed by the mechs.
