Full Await IFF installation Walkthrough
Once you completed Stop the Collectors: Acquire Reaper IFF, you will have to wait for the crew to install the Reaper IFF into the Normandy. The time limit for the installation varies based on the number of available Missions remaining that you have not completed. You may need to complete as many as two or more Missions before the IFF is ready.
If you managed to complete all previous Missions prior to the IFF Mission, you can activate it immediately after. If you are in this situation, it is important to activate Legion before accessing the Galaxy Map. Otherwise, you won't be able to complete Legion's Loyalty Mission.
Once the IFF is installed, EDI will inform you that the IFF is almost ready. After this notification, when you access the Galaxy Map to travel, the Normandy will be ambushed by Collectors.
Save the Normandy
For the first time in the game, you will control Joker as he and EDI will work together to remove the Collectors from the ship. Unfortunately, he has to travel the lenght of the ship to be able to do so.
Floor lights will guide Joker throughout the ship, allowing you to know where do you have to head to. Joker has no Weapon and can't do anything to the Collectors so, you can do anything to save the crew from the Aliens. If you stay near a Collector when they are finished with the crew, will lead to an instant game over.
From your starting position, the first destination is through the ducts inside Mordin's Tech Lab. You will see a Praetorian come out from the elevator and turn its attention on Crewman Hadley so make use of the distraction.
You will emerge in Deck 3, in Thane's quarters. You will find Crewman Hawthorne, who pledges to protect you. He gets thrown across the room shortly after and you will witness Kelly Chambers being forced into the elevator by a Scion. Hurry over to EDI's AI Core to releaser her locks.
Now take the maintenance shaft to the engineering room on deck 4. Joker emerges at the engineering subdeck and will have to take the stairs up. If you take the floor-lighted path, you will see an ominous shadow and to proceed, you will have to wait for it to pass.
You will learn that the entire crew has been abducted, except Joker. You now have to make a major decision: Either you head to the Omega-4 Relay immediately, or you finish any remaining Assignments. This can lead to three different things happening:
- If you decide to go immediately, without doing any other Mission or Assignment, you will save the entire crew.
- If you do 1 to 3 Missions or Assignments before heading to the relay, you will only lose half the crew, including Kelly Chambers.
- And if you do 4 or more Missions or Assignments, you will lose the entire crew except for Doctor Chakwas.
