How to unlock the Freedom Fighter achievement in Mass Effect 3 - Definitive Guide
None of these are hidden in the sense that they're tucked away in awkward corners or anything. Once you're in the building they're located in, sweep your gun around until you target something, just as you would look for any other item.
Intel #1: Regarding the colonists' sons and daughters. Found in a terminal in the only building you can enter prior to summoning the elevator. If you miss this and fail to acquire it before finding the pod, don't despair. You will eventually need to return to the pod only to discover Cerberus has retracted the bridge. A handily placed set of ladders will bring you down near this building; simply head into it before returning to the pod.
Intel #2: Regarding Cerberus troop deployments. Immediately after finding the pod, Cerberus troops will land and start attacking. Defeat the first wave, and head into the first building on your left after the bridge. Head to the end of the room and turn right - the intel will again be in a terminal more or less in front of you. This must be done before you return to the pod.
Intel #3: Regarding a double-agent of Cerberus'. There are two terminals that will give you information about the contents of the pod. One can only be accessed by bypassing a door and the other can be walked into normally. Directly across from that door that needs bypassing will be a building that houses this intel. It will be in a large computer setup with four monitors and is the only thing in that room. This must be done before you return to the pod.
Intel 1: This first one is located in the first building you come to on your right hand side with a "6" marked on the side.
Intel 2: The next is just across the bridge after you raise the lift. The building will be on your left hand side marked with a "5".
Intel 3: The last intel for this achievement is located in a building just across from intel 2 in the building marked with a "2". This last terminal doesn't look like the previous two. It looks more like a research computer over a general terminal.
You can interact with all these terminals as long as you don't return to the pod for the final battle in this area. If you're having difficulty locating these terminals the video below will show you all the locations.
1) The first one is before you cross the bridge.
2) after the 1st encounter with Cerberus check the building on the left for number two.
3) you will find number 3 in the building across from the one containing the pod info.
Full instructions are given in the video, along with hints and tips.
There are three pieces of intel that you need to find. They are scattered among the buildings of Eden Prime. None are too hard to find, but they are all just off your main path. Their locations are listed below.
- When you first enter the colony, go into the building on the right. The building will be L-shaped. Go to the left and the intel will be on a computer console to the left.
- After Cerberus arrives, head into the first building on the left and go around a corner to the right. The computer you’re looking for will be on the left side.
- Straight across from the last one, drop down and go into another building. Go around the first corner and then enter a room with lots of computer screens on the left.
There are intel on computers scattered around the area in buildings. Luckily, you only have to find 3. Below is where they are in order as you should get them. Make absolutely sure you have all 3 intel before you open the pod after destroying the Atlas mech.
1. Moments after landing, to your right is a building with a 6 on it. Inside is a terminal with the intel. This is before going down an elevator/lift.
2. After you take a lift/elevator down, you'll fight off some enemies. The first building on your left has a 5 on it. Head inside and find the terminal.
3. From the building intel 2 was in, head into the building that has a 2 on it. Head through the room past the 9s on the walls. Turn left, and you should see the terminal which is different looking than the others. It's a desk looking computer with 3 keyboards. Intel is on the middle keyboard.
The trophy is given after completing the task about liberating students from Grissom Academy.
