Mass Effect 2: Quarian Crash Site - N7 walkthrough Mass Effect 2 guide, walkthrough

Last update: 02 June 2021

Received from: automatically after finding an anomaly or automatically after receiving an e-mail from Cerberus [Gei Hinnom or Normandy SR-2]

Description: There are two ways of activating this quest. The first method is to wait until you've received an e-mail from Cerberus command. Bear in mind that this could take some time, because you would have to finish a sufficient number of other N7 missions. If you don't want to wait you can find the crash site yourself. In both cases you must begin this quest by opening the galaxy map and travelling to the Hades Nexus.

Use a fuel depot after you've arrived in the system with a mass relay and plot of a course for a nearby Sheol system. You'll have to find a planet named Gei Hinnom there and confirm that you want to begin scanning its surface. Keep holding the right mouse button and move the mouse until the transmission heard in the background will be very clear. A white dot should appear on the surface and you must click the left mouse button to send a probe there. Land on the surface and begin your exploration of the [Gei Hinnom - Crash site] map.

The first thing you should do here is to explore the area in the vicinity of the crash site. You'll find a computer terminal nearby (first screenshot) and interacting with it will allow you to read three messages. You can also locate a med kit and a well hidden container (second screenshot) with 2000 units of palladium.

Once you're done exploring the area choose a narrow passageway (first screenshot) leading to the next section of the map. SAVE your game there and then initiate a conversation with an injured quarian civilian (Forzan vas Idenna).

Get ready for a defensive mission - you'll have to repel varren attacks for about one minute. It shouldn't be a major problem, however you must order your teammates to remain close to an injured quarian. Don't forget that the death of the civilian will result in a failure. Thankfully killing varrens will be easy even with less powerful guns.

Don't forget that you can also fire at nearby explosive containers to inflict additional injuries. Prevent the beasts from moving too close and don't be afraid to use melee hits if somehow they get past your defences. After you've defeated all the varrens you should quickly approach a shuttle (second screenshot) before more beasts show up. Confirm that you want to leave this planet and the mission will come to an end.
