Background

You'll receive this assignment after completing the introductory Hammerhead assignment Rosalie Lost.


Background

For this assignment, you'll need to travel to the planet Corang (Verr / Hawking Eta) and collect some artifacts left behind by Dr. Cayce. You'll encounter lots of geth in this assignment, but the Hammerhead won't be able to take a lot of damage. Worse, you won't be shown a health bar for the Hammerhead -- you'll only hear sirens and see flames if it's about to explode -- so your best bet is to keep it out of direct combat as much as possible.

Note: The Hammerhead will also explode if you drive it into an acid lake, so try to avoid it.

Another Note: The Hammerhead is auto-repairing. If you take it out of combat for a while, then it will repair itself back to full health.

To protect the Hammerhead, you should stay as far away from the geth as possible. You'll have better range with your missiles than they will with their guns, and they won't ever move towards you, so as long as you start firing at them just as soon as you see their targeting boxes, you should be able to kill them without taking any damage in return (at least as far as we can tell). If you find that you don't have a good angle for firing on the geth, then you can always jump into the air and fire down on them. Since your missiles are guided, you can also shoot above them so your missiles curve down into them.

Other than the geth, you'll just need to drive the Hammerhead in the one direction that you're allowed to go, and collect the five artifacts that you come across. During your trek, you'll also pass by four Platinum sites that you can mine in the same way that you collect data. You'll find the first Platinum site on an "island" next to Artifact 2, the second site in between Artifacts 3 and 4, the third site up a ramp next to Artifact 4 (guarded by a trio of rocket drones), and the final site just past Artifact 5 on the right.

Note: The easiest way to get from Artifact 4 to Artifact 5 is to go up the ramp where the Platinum site is. If you take the "low road" instead, then you'll have to make several reasonably dangerous jumps, and if you end up in the acid, then you'll have to start the assignment over.

Once you've gathered all five artifacts, the assignment will come to an end, and pressing the F key (on the PC) will take you back to the Normandy.
