Follow this Mass Effect: Legendary Edition (ME1) walkthrough to meet Wrex at C-Sec Academy or Chora's Den, recruit him, and learn about the Fist-Saren connection.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    If you asked Anderson about _”Other leads.”_, you will have the mission **Citadel: Shadow Broker**. Find Barla Von in the Financial District of the Presidium. Ask him for information; your interests align, so you'll receive the necessary details without haggling. After depleting his dialog options, you'll gain Codex Entries and need to find Wrex at C-Sec Academy.
  2. 2
    If you did not ask Anderson about _”Other leads.”_, travel to Chora's Den to officially start the quest. You can walk or use the Citadel Rapid Transit terminal near the Council Chambers.
  3. 3
    Upon entering the area outside Chora's Den, you will be attacked by two Assassins. These enemies have health regeneration and may use abilities like Immunity (indicated by a white health bar) on higher difficulties. Keep your distance to mitigate their shotgun damage and focus fire on one at a time.
  4. 4
    After defeating the Assassins, proceed into Chora's Den. Go to the southwestern end of the bar and you will see Wrex confronting Fist via a krogan bouncer. Wrex will then leave, and you must find him at C-Sec Academy.
  5. 5
    After learning about Wrex from Barla Von or Garrus, you will find him at C-Sec Academy. The elevator to C-Sec Academy is on the Presidium, near the Embassies.
  6. 6
    Approach Wrex, who is being reprimanded by C-Sec officers. He will then turn his attention to you.
  7. 7
    You will be informed about the Fist-Saren connection. Wrex proposes a deal: he joins your squad, and you cooperate to take down Fist. This allows Wrex to kill Fist and you to obtain the data needed to expose Saren.
  8. 8
    Accept Wrex's offer. You will then be prompted about recruiting Garrus. You can advocate for his recruitment or decline; Garrus can be found at the Med Clinic on the Wards regardless of your choice.
  9. 9
    If you wish to recruit Garrus, head to the Med Clinic. If you want to proceed directly to exposing Saren, head back to Chora's Den, but be prepared for a fight.
