Mass Effect 3 Walkthrough

Mission: Grissom Academy

Grissom Academy: Emergency Evacuation – Grissom Academy is under attack by Cerberus forces attempting to kidnap the students. Rescue the students and evacuate the station.

Specialist Traynor told Shepard about the Grissom Academy troubles. Shepard sends a team to investigate. Meet up with Kahlee Sanders, and an old shipmate.
Time to join forces with Jack on in this mission!

The stated mission of the Jon Grissom Academy, commissioned in 2176, is to “serve a student population demonstrating excellence and passion for math, science, and the liberal arts.” Its entirely human student body ranges in age from the early teens to the mid-twenties. Although the fact is not heavily advertised, the institution also offers classes for students with biotic capability. The school’s Ascension Project seeks to train these students and integrate them into normal society. The 1.1km long space station’s population is 8,620.

Biotic Tactic Lesson: When an unshielded an a shielded opponent, both with heavy pistols approach you from opposite sides, what is the most effective way to take them down? While Shockwave is inadequate against shielded enemies. A barrier holds long enough against heavy pistols for a Singularity to catch both enemies. Fire a Singularity, then follow it up with Warp on the unstable biotic field created by the Singularity, which will result in an explosion neutralizing both enemies.

Mass Effect 3 Walkthrough for Part 2 of “Grissom Academy”.

With the students rescued, it’s time to find the Cerberus Laptop to the left of the big Orion Hall door, which accesses camera control to help you locate the Cerberus shuttles and get off the station. And then Jack and Joker meet up. 🙂

Before going traveling, aboard the Normandy SR-2 check your private terminal to receive some very important messages, they’ll tell you to head back to The Citadel (Bay D24).
Note for this playthrough, while Miranda Lawson was the Mass Effect 2 love interest, she’s not an option if you’ve shown interest in anyone else beyond friendship, so Liara seems most natural (and that way Tali and Garrus can hook up in secret haha).
Before that, be sure to check up with the rest of the crew to see what they have to say, especially Engineer Adams, and Donnelly and Daniels. Cortez is in the Shuttle Bay grieving.

Interlude 3: Space Probing

Part of playing Mass Effect 3, is space probing planets and such for war artifacts (the Prothean Data Files war asset is on Zion), salvage (credits), and fuel (from destroyed fuel depots). It’s not really exciting to watch, but it’s necessary. Skip to the next Chapter if you are not interested.

Included below is a helpful list of all the things found scanning planets, so that you can go directly to the solar system and planet, to avoid the Reaper threat as much as possible. XCV hopes you find it helpful!

Mass Effect 3 Walkthrough for Part 2 of “Space Probing”.

While we’re cruising around the galaxy for war resources, we drop by Huerta Memorial Hospital & Dock D24 on The Citadel to speak to some fellow mates and get updates. Mainly…

– Meet up with Miranda Lawson at Docking Bay D24 to try and recruit her. Although she’ll look for her sister first.
– Drop the on Grissom Academy found new biotic implants off at the Asari Scientist in the Lab Services section.
– Check up on Ashley Williams in Huerta Memorial Hospital to talk about her decision to be a Spectre.

Mission: N7 – Cerberus Lab

N7: Cerberus Lab – The Alliance has discovered a new Cerberus laboratory located on Sanctum (inside the Sigurds Cradle’s Decoris system). Investigate the lab and deal with any potential threat.

Planet background: Sanctum is proof of the old spacer adage, “just because it’s a garden world doesn’t mean it’s a picnic.” Freezing ice storms cover the poles and temperate zones, leaving a narrow strip of habitable land at the equator. Dry but windy, this area is home to Sanctum’s minimal terrestrial plant life. The planet has yet to develop land-based animals, though invertebrates grow quite large in its pelagic seas.

The next two parts don’t relate to this mission, but they do wrap up a few side-missions. Such as:
– Retrieved the artifact for Kannik, to persuade General Oraka.
– Talk to Kelly Chambers in the Docks Holding Area.
– Give the Shrike Abyssal obelisk to Volus diplomat on Embassies.
– Talk to Aria after getting the gangs together
– Talk to Cortez in D24 bay.

Back on the Normandy, we wrap up more post-mission side-missions. Such as:
– Meet with the Diplomats in Annos Basin.
– Talk to Wrex, Dalatrass, and Victus.
– Decide to cure the Krogan Genophage. Which will lead us to the next chapter called “Sur’Kesh”.

On the next page we continue the walkthrough with Chapter 5: Sur’Kesh.
