Mass Effect 2: Abandoned Research Station - N7 walkthrough Mass Effect 2 guide, walkthrough

Last update: 02 June 2021

Received from: automatically after completing N7: Wrecked Merchant Freighter mission [Normandy SR-2]

Description: This mission can be unlocked by completing another assignment from this group (N7: Wrecked Merchant Freighter) and you can check the objectives by reading an e-mail from one of your personal terminals. Open the galaxy map and plan a course for the Eagle Nebula. You must get to the planet Jarrahe located in the Strabo system. Click on the planet and begin docking procedures.

As soon as you've boarded the [Jarrahe station] you'll find out that you've been trapped by the station's AI. Don't worry - it'll only take you about 10-15 minutes to get out. Start off by heading forward and make sure to check a PDA found next to one of the bodies. You may proceed to a room found to your right (second screenshot).

Start off by finding two containers filled with minerals - this will allow you to collect 1000 units of iridium. You may now use a nearby console (first screenshot) in order to unlock a passageway to the next area of the station. You'll soon arrive in a much larger room (second screenshot) and you should save your progress here.

There are three passageways for you to explore, but start off by looking around. You should be able to find a new PDA (first screenshot) and thanks to it you'll learn some things about the situation you've found yourself in. The left door (second screenshot) leads to a research lab and that's where you should go.

It shouldn't take long until you get to the research lab. You can find two new containers here with 1000 units of iridium. Once you've collected the minerals interact with a terminal found on a nearby wall (second screenshot) to restore power to this room.

You'll now have to solve a simple riddle. Approach four computers located on the other side of the lab. Interacting with the computer will allow you to rotate metal objects seen in the distance and your objective will be to allow the laser beam to reach its destination. Check the screenshot above for a complete solution. Solving this riddle will open the door to the research lab again, allowing you to return to the main area of the station.

Save your game again. You can now proceed to the middle door (first screenshot) to enter an area marked as engineering. It would be a good idea to leave your followers behind, but thankfully even if something bad happens to them you'll be allowed to continue moving alone. Wait for the steam to disappear and then start running.

You'll find a small room along the way and it would be a good to explore it. There's a PDA here and you'll be allowed to collect 2100 credits from two lockers. Continue moving through the main corridor and don't forget to sprint in order to avoid the steam.

Use a nearby ramp to reach an upper level and it shouldn't take you long to reach a power control terminal. Use it to restore power to this area of the station and return to the main room. There's only one more passageway for you to explore (second screenshot) and it leads to the living quarters.

The first room you'll enter is going to be a mess hall and you'll find a PDA here. Head on to the next section and choose the right door located at the end of a long corridor (first screenshot). Find a med kit there and then use a nearby control panel to restore power. Notice that you've been trapped here and therefore you'll have to figure out a way how to get out.

Approach the computers found in the center of the room. Start off by interacting with a computer located to the right (first screenshot) and then interact with a computer located to the left (second screenshot). Exit this room and use this opportunity to visit the other one. There are three lockers in that room and opening them will reward you with 1650 credits.

Return to the main area of the station for the last time and interact with a central terminal (first screenshot). You may now enter a room seen behind the glass wall. Shutting down the AI (second screenshot) will allow you to end this mission and you'll automatically receive a new assignment from the same group - N7: Hahne-Kedar Facility.
