Mass Effect 2: Wrecked Merchant Freighter - N7 walkthrough Mass Effect 2 guide, walkthrough

Received from: automatically after finding an anomaly [Neith]

Description: The only way to activate this quest is to find an anomaly and you must begin by opening the galaxy map. Choose the Eagle Nebula and then travel to the planet Neith located in the Amun system. Confirm that you want to scan the planet's 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 to officially start this quest.

You may start exploring [Neith - MSV Corsica crash site] map. If you want to end this quest quickly you can head towards a crashed ship seen in the distance, however I would recommend that you take your time to look around. Four containers with minerals can be found here and opening all of them will result in gathering 2000 units of platinum. You can also focus on finding three destroyed mechs, collecting 3750 credits.

Be on a look out for a med kit and power cells as you progress. There are a couple of PDA's in the area and finding them will allow you to find out more about the current situation - System report, Evacuation order, Navigator's log, Shipping manifest and Report. Once you're ready to move on with the mission SAVE your game and then proceed towards a burning wreckage. You must interact with a distress beacon here to turn it off. Get ready for a series of challenging fights.

Listen to a short transmission informing you that you'll have to return to the shuttle. Naturally it won't be as easy as it sounds, however you may ignore a warning about an upcoming sandstorm (you won't have to worry about any time limits). I wouldn't recommend staying one place for a longer period of time, because LOKI mechs will continue respawning endlessly. Deal with the first group (first screenshot) and then head forward. It would be a good idea to keep using guns effective in medium and close range combat.

You shouldn't take any risks here, so you'll want to stop at least several times to recharge your shields. You must also watch out for an YMIR mech near the end of the mission - use a heavy weapon to destroy the machine. Make your way to the shuttle. You can use it to leave the planet right away, without having to eliminate all of the remaining LOKI mechs. Completing this mission will automatically unlock the next one - N7: Abandoned Research Station.
