Mass Effect Hints

Investigate Saren

  • 1 of 5: Before you get serious about investigating Saren, you should go on another tour of the Citadel, especially since you can now access all of it instead of just the Presidium.
  • 2 of 5: Finish up a few of the optional assignments you got on your tour if you want, then decide how you want to go about investigating Saren.
  • 3 of 5: You have two options, each of which is a separate mission.
  • 4 of 5: TIP: You can reap the benefits of both of the above missions. Right as you're finishing one of them, you'll be referred to the other. That way, you can get both Wrex and Garrus in your squad. (Though you might want to put off getting Wrex until after you've dealt with Fist, since he'll then pay you for doing so.)
  • 5 of 5: Once you finish either or both those missions, you'll be back to this mission with the new "Take Down Fist" objective.
