Uncharted Worlds (Assignments)

1. Touchdown and Northeast Ambush

Select the Hawking Eta cluster, enter the Century system, orbit Klendagon, and land the Mako on Presrop's central-eastern drop zone. Drive into the northeast plain where an ambush triggers; stay moving sideways at mid-to-long range, boost laterally when dirt tremors approach, and use jump jets over corrosive acid while firing the heavy cannon and machine gun.

Tip: Use Mako jump jets to dodge the acid spit and keep your vehicle's mobility high.

2. Mining Camp and Eastern Trench

Steer north-northwest to the Abandoned Mining Camp consisting of two small prefab modules, stepping inside to grab the Technician Kit tucked under an interior window ledge. Head down to the unmarked open trench in the east/southeast to eliminate the mercenary encampment's snipers and assault troopers with your vehicle cannon, then complete a Surface Survey on the Uranium Deposit located in the southeast area.

Tip: Bombard the mercenary trench with Mako cannon rounds from a distance before dismounting.

3. Western Anomalies

Travel west across the moon to the Ancient Debris anomaly and wrecked mining vehicle along the ridge to recover Turian Insignias. Continue to the west/central impact crater near the western cliff edge to salvage the Crashed Probe debris via the Electronics mini-game, then perform a Surface Survey on the Gold Deposit resting on the southwest ridge.

4. The Biotic Compound Communal Building

Approach the southwest Biotic Compound and interact with the outer intercom, using Charm or Intimidate to mention the dead Alliance envoys so the cultists unlock the door peacefully. Check the supply shelves in the east side exterior annex for a Medical Kit, enter the lower floor lobby to decrypt Two Locked Crates hidden behind bulk crates and support pillars, and head up to the upper balcony terminal room to loot the Aid Station, Medical Kit, and Storage Locker before accessing the terminal to open the blast door to the eastern bunker.

Tip: Bringing companions skilled in Decryption ensures you can open both locked crates in the lobby.

5. Confronting Major Kyle

Enter the subterranean disc bunker to the east and search Kyle's quarters to collect the Technician Kit by the cots in the southeast room, a Crate tucked behind concrete pillars, a Storage Locker and Medical Kit on the pillar faces, and interact with the Malfunctioning Object in the southwest corner. Confront Father Kyle, where having the Ruthless profile prompts him to mention your Torfan reputation, and persuade him to surrender peacefully with Charm (7–8) or Intimidate (8–10); otherwise, defeat him and his biotic followers using Anti-Personnel ammo and tech abilities like Damping or Overload to neutralize their Lift and Throw powers.

Tip: Use tech powers like Damping or Neural Shock to suppress the cultists' biotics before they cast Lift.

The short version

What matters

• Persuading Major Kyle with Charm or Intimidate to achieve a peaceful surrender, earning high Paragon points and Admiral Hackett's praise.
• Recovering the Turian Insignias from the Ancient Debris anomaly on the western ridge for the assignment UNC: Turian Insignias.
• Surveying both the Gold Deposit along the southwest ridge and the Uranium Deposit in the southeast.

Common mistakes

• Forcing your way through the communal building's outer intercom, which instantly turns all biotic followers hostile and blocks a peaceful resolution.
• Letting the Thresher Maw surface directly underneath the Mako, which triggers an instant Critical Mission Failure.
• Approaching Major Kyle without 7–8 Charm or 8–10 Intimidate if pursuing a peaceful outcome, locking you into killing him and the entire commune.

What you can skip

• Entering the mercenary trench on foot; blast the organic troops from the safety of the Mako cannon instead.
