Peak 15

Mass Effect 1 (Legendary Edition) guide · During Noveria mission

Peak 15 is an isolated corporate research facility on Noveria where Binary Helix conducted unauthorized biological experiments. Shepard must explore the freezing complex to restore main power, thaw the primary core, and reboot the virtual intelligence Mira. Completing these tasks unlocks access to the tram car leading to the Rift Station laboratories.

Enemies

Rachni Worker

Weak to Biotics and high-heat weapons

Small quadrupedal creatures that rush toward you and explode in toxic fluid upon death.

Rachni Soldier

Weak to Heavy Firepower and incendiary ammo

Tough ranged attackers capable of spitting acidic neurotoxins across large rooms.

Geth Trooper

Basic synthetic infantry encountered inside the exterior garage entrance.

Tips

Use incendiary ammunition or toxic weapon upgrades to quickly neutralize charging Rachni before they breach close-range distance.
You can bypass the manual Towers of Hanoi puzzle at the Mira Core by spending 100 Omni-gel to instantly reactivate the system.
Do not exit the Mako during the exterior bridge drive up to Peak 15, as extreme cold hazards will rapidly deplete Shepard's hazard meter and health.
