The Krogan
Miranda and Jacob have side missions for you if you accept them. Kelly is worth a chat, and let’s not forget the old Krogan down in engineering.
He’s through one of the side doors, and of course you’re going to let him out. From there, you should be able to use either rep option to have him join your clan. Then chat him up, and he does offer an upgrade, which is a killer gun for him of course. But that’s about it from him, he’s now one of the crew.
Before you depart, and if you want to take him out for a spin, feel free to buy that krogan health upgrade. The boss also sends an email, and Kelly has a chat about him as well. She seems to be the only one concerned about the new teammate, so back to the map.
From here we have some options:
The Assassin The Justicar Tali Jacob’s mission Miranda’s mission The Citadel and any side missions
The Citadel has been in your log forever, so let’s finally head there now.
Horizon was in Iera, part of the Shadow Sea Nebula. Hit the mass relay and go to the Serpent Nebula (though if you want to take a pit stop for a little probing of Uranus in the local cluster, that is fine too).
The Citadel
*NOTE: For the 360, clicking RS is your quick map.*
Feel free to take Grunt and Garrus.
News on the left, a soldier by the door, you can have a chat with Garrus at the counter option, and you can talk with the girl behind the counter. Go through and then meet Bailey.
For ALL shops, talk to the person behind the counter first – renegades get to have some fun here, paragons no so much.
Middle Level
Citadel Souvenirs Shop:
These things really add up, and you’ll be back later. So skip.
- Space Hamster – 7666, pretty expensive for a rat Illium
- Skald Fish – 416
- Thessian Sunfish – 416
- Model Normandy SR1 – 416
- Model Destiny Ascension – 416
- Model Sovereign – 416
Zakera Cafe: the quality ingredients for your chef on the Normandy.
Upper Level
Rodam Expeditions:
Unless extremely loaded, just get the gun upgrade you use the most, and the two equipment.
- Sniper Rifle Damage – 50000, +10% SR damage
- Heavy Pistol Damage – 50000, +10% SR damage
- SMG Damage – 50000, +10% SR damage
- Ammo Pack – 1666, +10% ammo capacity
- Aegis Vest – 1666, +5% health
Khalisah al-Jilani – who has a renegade action to cut things short, otherwise you can offer a nice piece of rep input.
Dark Star – drink, dance, and ask the Presidium Groundskeeper about the fish (but only once) for a quest for the Krogan downstairs.
Return to Kargesh on the lower floor in front of the souvenir shop and tell him the truth; I would guess the lie works just the same too.
Lower Level
Lia’Vael – Gather intel on the situation.
Sirta Foundation:
- Medi-Gel Capacity – 25000, more medi-gel is good if you frequently play risky, can’t manage your team, or fail at cover, otherwise it’s not a big deal
- Life Supporting Webbing (legs) – 6666, +10% health
- Saronis Applications: by far the most pleasant renegade option ever
- Tech Damage – 75000, +10% tech damage
- Damage Protection – 75000, +20% shields, barriers, and armor
Now ask him about the credit chit and he will hand it to you. Take it back to Lia and hit the paragon action for free rep.
The Presidium
Now that all is done here, find a nearby rapid transit terminal and go to the Presidium, the only place available you haven’t been.
*NOTE: I’m aware that depending on what happened in the last game, this could be different. Mainly that there either is or isn’t a meeting.*
The meeting is very brief, and doesn’t go so well either way you resolve it. Chat it up with Anderson a bit, but leaving the room is just like taking a transit, so return to the Normandy, you are done here. And who honestly wanted to run around this place again? Not me, no way.
Remember, you buy upgrades but must find another piece in the field before you can spend minerals on them. Stuff like the damage reduction upgrades are put into place once you buy them.
Don’t forget to equip all your suit pieces as well. And there may or may not be emails for you if you played ME1.
