Mass Effect Hints
How should I deal with Charn?
1 of 7: You could fight him and his men, or you could try to persuade him to leave peacefully.
2 of 7: If you want to fight, it's best to start shooting at Charn from the doorway past the bottom of the stairs.
3 of 7: Stay there for cover, and quickly kill the varren and batarians that charge you.
4 of 7: After that, fight your way along to the building's exit door, retreating back to the stairs whenever you need to.
5 of 7: If you'd rather talk peacefully, run up to Charn and choose non-provoking dialogue options.
6 of 7: You'll eventually get Charm- and Intimidate-related options. If you can use either one of those, Charn will give you the keycard to the main facility and leave without a fight. If your talents aren't high enough to use those options, you'll have to fight him.
7 of 7: TIP: You can get eight Paragon points for convincing Charn to leave peacefully, but you'd probably prefer to get a huge amount of XP for fighting him and all of his allies. You'll find the keycard you need after the last enemy dies.
