Intel locations ("From Ashes" DLC)
Search the indicated locations to find the three pieces of intel in the "From Ashes" downloadable content and get the "Freedom Fighter" achievement:
1. Just as you land on the planet, the first piece of intel can be found inside a building to your right. Before continuing to the elevator ahead, enter the building marked with a "6", and use the computer inside.
2. Take the elevator down into a new arena full of enemies. Kill all of them, then return to the area you started from (where you stepped off the elevator). From there, look to the left to see a building marked with a "5". Inside is a computer console with the second piece of intel.
3. Look from where you found the second piece of intel to see a building marked with a large "2". The intel is inside that building. Go through the building, and turn left. You will enter a large room with computer keyboards attached to a desk along the wall. Use the center keyboard to get the final piece of intel and the "Freedom Fighter" achievement.
Using powers on final level
Note: The following trick requires a Kinect. In London on Earth, Harbinger will shoot his laser and knock everyone running to the teleporter that is on the ground linked to the Citadel. You will then get up and start walking in slow motion to the teleporter armed only with a pistol that has infinite ammunition. You normally cannot use your powers with LB or RB. However, you can use Kinect voice commands such as "Carnage", "Warp", "Singularity", or any other projectile power, and Shepard will use the power while in the slow motion state.
Blasto 6 movie
In the Presidium Commons section of the Citadel, go to the Apartments area. In the hallway, you can activate a movie advertisement on the wall for Blasto 6: Partners In Crime. It involves Blasto, the Hanar Spectre with his Elcor partner.
Space hamster
You can recover your space hamster from Mass Effect 2 by going to Engineering on the Normandy. Go to the lowest level using the stairs. You should then hear some squeaking. If you are fast enough, you can catch your space hamster for your quarters.
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back reference
During the side-mission where you evacuate some Cerberus scientists, the AA-Turrets will fire a path for the evac-shuttle through enemy fighters, and then a voice will announce that the first evac-shuttle has successfully started. This is followed by a cheer from the remaining crew, like in the Hoth scene in Star Wars: Episode 5 - The Empire Strikes Back.
