Citadel Tower: Exterior Defense Grid Overview

1 – Arrival

The defense grid’s entry pathway is under heavy guard by two Krogan Warriors, four Geth Destroyers, and a Geth Juggernaut. Prepare accordingly.

2 – Turrets and Troopers

Things get a little crazy all the way along this area of the grid. There are a total of eight Geth Troopers split up in pairs firing at you from down in the trenches and four massive Geth Heavy Turrets capable of launching rockets at a fairly steady pace. Each turret is defended by three strategically placed Geth force fields, so you’re going to have to fire at them from the sides or blast through the shields to cause any real damage.

3 – Krogan Warriors

Two Krogan Warriors will ambush your squad as you move through this shaft.

4 – Krogan Battlemaster

As you approach the end of the shaft, you’ll have to take down a nasty Krogan Battlemaster and two Krogan Warlords. Don’t let any of them close into melee range or you’ll be running for your life.

5 – Exit to Citadel Tower

Finally! This hatch will bring you into the Council chambers of Citadel Tower, where you’ll confront Saren for the last time.
