Ilos: Trench Run Overview

1 – Arrival

A concerted assault by three Geth Rocket Troopers signals your arrival to this ancient water-filled trench.

2 – Geth Resistance

Four Geth Rocket Troopers, four Geth Troopers, and a Geth Colossus will attempt to slow you down during your final pursuit of Saren.

3 – Geth Resistance

Four more Geth Rocket Troopers are stationed at this curve.

4 – Geth Resistance

Another group of four Geth Rocket Troopers patrols this curve.

5 – The Conduit

After scouring the galaxy for the Conduit, it’s finally within sight. At this point, a cutscene will trigger that shows Sovereign and the Geth launching a full-scale attack on the Citadel. Saren has already used the Conduit to begin seizing control from the inside, so you have to hurry! You have 40 seconds to make it down the Geth Colossus-defended slope to the east and reach the Conduit before it closes.

6 – Exit to the Citadel

Don’t worry about the four Geth Colossus – you don’t have time. Simply crash the Mako into this mass relay as soon as you reach it to be projected through space directly onto the now-devastated Presidium level of the Citadel. You’ll crush a couple of Geth guards in the process, too.
