  • Geth > Destroyer

  • Cerberus Funding: 3,750
  • Credits: 3,750

Spoils of War > Resources > Palladium: 2,000

Sensors detect anomalous weather patterns on Canalus. Scans also reveal significant geth activity.

Investigate the site of the geth activity to determine whether or not the two incidents are related.

Tip

Since you fight geth on this mission, a squadmember with AI Hacking is ideal.

Destroying the Geth Climate Device

[001]

[002]

The geth have developed a climate-altering device and are testing it on Canalus. When you land on the surface, you are enveloped by a thick fog that severely limits visibility.

Though you may struggle to see through the haze, the geth do not have such problems and quickly target you as you press through a maze of rocks en route to the climate device.

Follow the flares—and the geth shootouts—to locate the device.

Before contact is made, explore the small rock alcoves leading awayfrom the mainpath (markedby flares) tolocate rawminerals [001] .

Priorto combat [002] , youshould havecollected the following resources (three to the left, andone to the right of your starting point):

Tip

Follow the edges of the pathway, take your time, andbacktrack to ensure you don’t miss any deposits.

Spoils of War > Resources > Refined Palladium > Open > 100 Palladium

Spoils of War > Resources > Refined Palladium > Open > 200 Palladium

Spoils of War > Resources > Refined Palladium > Open > 100 Palladium

Spoils of War > Resources > Refined Palladium > Open > 100 Palladium

[003]

[004]

The geth use the mists to hide from you, so you must rely on your HUD to single out targets.

When you do spot a target, use appropriate measures to bring it down [003] .

A trooper, for example, can be ripped apart with gun fire or a good biotic attack. Shielded geth, however, need to have their shields either disabled via a tech attack or just ruined via gunplay.

Caution

Beware the geth hunters in the mist—their cloaking devices make them even harder to spot. The geth are in a central gully depression that you must work your way to the top of [004] .

Prior to reaching the top of the peak, ensure you search for more palladium deposits in rocky alcoves and on the rocky ground.

[005]

[006]

Once you fight your way through the geth [005] , using the low geth defenses to leap over, and you’ve scoured the area for the last amounts of palladium, access the terminal at the base of the device to shut it down [006] .

The climate on Canalus will soon clear up. And Cerberus is quite happy to now have that technology in its hands.

You receive both Cerberus funding and found credits, as well as your upgrade, once this assignment is over.
