Mass-effect – When you go to save the Krogan do the Brutes keep spawning

mass-effect-3

So right before you disperse the cure or don't, you have to tap 2 hammers to summon the Thresher Maw. Now right before that, I was attacked by a brute, so I started shooting at him and before I knew it there was another brute.

Now after dodging and weaving a third brute came, killing both my squadmates at which point, I started to run as fast as I could. After getting to the first hammer, I was surrounded by at least 5 brutes… now my question is can you kill them all and go do the tapping at peace? Or do they just keep spawning and the point is to keep running?

Yes. I didn't realize that you were supposed to ignore the brutes the first time, and was doing my best to dodge the attacks of all 6.

What I quickly realized (after whittling down two), is that every time you kill a brute, a replacement drops down from the air. That was what made me realize, "oh, maybe I should go pull the hammers".
