Mass Effect 3 Hydra Scan Locations

[Jannet Nevels]

MassEffect 3 planet scanning provides you with a way to amass war assets and increase your Total Military Strength, which you'll need if you want to be successful in the final battle with the Reapers. As you search around the various clusters you'll discover war assets, artifacts, intel, credits, and fuel locations that are all used to improve your military standing, and how much of this you can collect will directly have an impact on the Mass Effect 3 endings available to you. You also need to be on your guard while you go about planet scanning in Mass Effect 3, as the Reapers are constantly watching and will be alerted if you keep searching in the wrong places.

So, we know that these items are essential in the Mass Effect Legendary Edition, which means you want to gather as many of them as you can ahead of the big final fight. However, if you just scan every planet you see with reckless abandon, the Reapers will eventually get to full alertness and chase after you, meaning you'll have to leave the system immediately. The Reapers might look slow at first, but they quickly pick up speed and won't take long to catch you unless you hotfoot it out of there. In addition to this, once the Reapers have been alerted within a system, you'll have to go somewhere else and complete another mission before it will be safe to come back for further investigation. Therefore it pays to use our Mass Effect 3 planet scanning guide, so you know where to look and can slip in and out with (probably) no trouble.

As it will soon become apparent, not all of these clusters can be accessed in Mass Effect 3 planet scanning from the start of the game. There will be new clusters opening up as you progress through the story or complete side missions, while others do not become available until a specific quest, such as an N7 assignment, is received from Traynor. If a cluster listed here isn't available to you, then make some more progress through the campaign before taking another look to check if it's now unlocked.

Assets in this guide are listed as they appear in the images from left to right, and locations that have no planet at the center signify ship wreckages, which grant varying amounts of fuel upon investigation. Clusters are listed in alphabetical order for ease of locating, with the number of resources they contain shown in brackets after. If a particular cluster isn't featured in the list, then there are no useful items to be found there and you can safely skip over it.

The strange technologies of the Heleus Cluster offer many outlaw and exile groups opportunity rather than scientific mystery. With access to black-market salvage, Remnant technology, and stolen gear from the Andromeda Initiative, some have crafted non-standard but highly effective battle mech suits nicknamed "Hydras."

Most Hydra units are armed with a chain gun and a devastating laser-guided RPG volley, pinning down enemies before bombarding them with heavy fire. Unapproved jumpjet designs and a mass-lowering element zero core assist in ground clearance or leaping at a target. The sheer weight and impact of the Hydra unit can crush enemies or force them to fall back. APEX officially classifies a Hydra unit as a Priority Zero threat, though unofficial communications often use the acronym "BFM."

Hydras are armor-only enemies. They have a large cannon on the left arm, the right arm can deal a devastating melee attack, and they can deploy a barrage of laser guided missiles from pods located on both shoulders.

Hydras will explode with a powerful explosion killed leaving no remains to be scanned. This creates a difficulty in scanning, as it requires being up close to a hostile enemy while still alive in order to scan it.

There is a bug with workshop area during the objective Use the workshop's security cam during Vetra Nyx: Means and Ends. If Ryder previously scanned a Hydra or a Raider at any time before this objective, it will not be possible to successfully scan the Hydra or Hydra Pilot using the security camera scanner. The Hydra or Hydra Pilot will show up as the light yellow color of already scanned. One or the other has to be successfully scanned to make the choice Disable Hydra Armor available. If both enemies are showing as light yellow color the hydra choice will be unavailable but the other two choices can still be obtained.

The Blaze Hydra is a variation of the Hydra appearing only in multiplayer matches. Blazy Hydras are boss level armor-only enemies. There are differences in coloring but the weaponry is the same. The Blaze Hydra, however, moves much faster than a standard Hydra and will close to melee distance to try to grab a player for an instant kill. The Blaze Hydra is the final target in a Boss wave in a Multiplayer match where outlaws are the designated enemy.

Search and Rescue is a system in Mass Effect 3 that replaces the Planet Scanning mini-game from Mass Effect 2. The Normandy SR-2 is equipped with a new and improved scanning pulse that can detect objects of interest. This can be used to uncover War Assets, artifacts, intel, and salvage as the player flies around a system. The effective range of a pulse is limited, so multiple scans are often required to cover an entire system. Objects of interest can be found in numerous celestial bodies and oftentimes in the empty spaces between planets as well: wreckage floating around and initially unseen on the Galaxy Map can also be salvaged for fuel.

The system scanning itself is done by a push of a button wherein a pulse originates out from the ship for a short distance revealing anything of interest within its effective range. Once a point of interest is found, be it something on a planet or a wreck in space, it shows up with a red circle and marker that allows the player to fly to it. When flying over a wreck, the player may interact with the object by investigating it. If the object is on a planet, the Normandy must be flown into the planet's atmosphere. From here, the player may scan the planet's surface in a manner similar to the Planet Scanning system of Mass Effect 2. When the point of interest on a planet is located, a probe must be sent out to retrieve it. Unlike Mass Effect 2, the Normandy has an infinite number of probes and does not need to purchase any of them.

It is possible to find and salvage solar system wreckage that is not on planets without using the scanner. When the Normandy flies over wreckage, a tone can be heard. The player can then double click (on the PC) on that spot to salvage the fuel from the wreckage without having first scanned it. Note that salvaging wreckage in this manner will not cause the "XX% Assets Recovered" indicator to be displayed, although it will be updated if it is already displayed. Conversely, planets must be system scanned before the planetary scanner button will be present after entering orbit.

In total, 1290 War Assets can be obtained from the Search and Rescue system, with an additional 200 from Mass Effect 3: Leviathan, 440 from artifacts, and 50 from completing Aria: Blue Suns using the Paragon route. A total of 100,000 credits can be salvaged, with an additional 10,000 from Mass Effect 3: Leviathan and 170,000 from artifacts. In addition, 7 Intel items can be found.

A pop-up window occurs on entering the first system outside of the Serpent Nebula with a brief explanation of the mechanics and that performing a mission is sufficient to wait out any Reapers active in the system.

Every scanning sweep done in a system that does not contain a mission fills a small meter that indicates the Reapers' growing awareness of the Normandy's location. This bar fills faster or slower depending on how many entry points to the system the Reapers have, and how close to them the player is when the Scanner is used. Once the meter fills, all Reapers occupying the system enter it, and chase the Normandy. The only way to evade capture and destruction by the Reapers is to exit the system, either by reaching the system boundaries or by reaching the mass relay in a gateway system. Reaper awareness meters on all compromised systems are reset after completing a mission.

Although Reapers will eventually reach higher speed than the Normandy, their initial movements are slow. One can easily scan the system quickly to find all the points of interest and then evade the Reapers. Reapers do not advance on you as you investigate a place of interest. However, it is not suggested that you conduct a mission while Reapers are in your system. Note that sending a scanning pulse will momentarily decrease your speed slightly.

The location of your ship when re-entering an alarmed system depends on the way your ship faces before entering: the Normandy will enter the system at such a point that the ship's FRONT will face towards the CENTRAL STAR, and the ship will be facing the same direction it does on the cluster map. This can be used to great advantage if you know about a point of interest near the edge of the star system - fly out of the system (to the cluster map), and with a tiny engine burst, orient yourself in the appropriate direction. When you click on "Enter system", you will be near the point of interest and can retrieve it before Reapers even reappear.

This table contains the locations of various wrecks, war assets, upgrades, credits or mission specific items, listed by cluster, system, and planet. Locations not on this list do not have any searchable objects.

All wreckage fuel is transferred to the Normandy immediately upon clicking the Investigate button, whether the ship's fuel capacity is full or not. It is therefore strategic to leave wreckage in the system with the relay alone initially and then consume it after exploring the other systems in the cluster. This uses the wreckage to cover the cost of the return to the relay system rather than throwing it away.

Cavernous angiomas can be found in any part of the brain at any location along the vascular bed. Intracranial, extracerebral cavernous angiomas also occur but are less common. Cavernous angiomas can also occur in the spinal cord, where they frequently coexist with multiple brain lesions. They can range in size from under a millimeter to several centimeters, with up to 20% being located in the brainstem. Radiological studies play a pivotal role in diagnosing cerebral cavernous angiomas with MRI as the modality of choice. MRI demonstrates smoothly circumscribed lesions of variable signal intensities, which are consistent with hemorrhage in various stages of evolution. Computed tomogram (CT) scanning plays only a limited role largely because of its relative lack of specificity. [5, 6, 7]
