Return to the Normandy after Feros to chat with your crew, speak with the Council, and prepare for the next major mission. Get Paragon/Renegade points and new assignments.
Walkthrough
- 1Upon returning to the Normandy after Feros, you will have conversations with your crew. If you have already completed Therum, Liara will dominate the conversation. Your dialogue choices during this initial crew interaction do not affect outcomes.
- 2Joker will ask if you wish to speak to the Council. Agree to do so.
- 3When prompted for your first dialogue response with the Council, choose _”Better off this way.”_ for Paragon +2 or _”Don’t be stupid!”_ for Renegade +2.
- 4Subsequent Paragon dialogue options will yield Paragon +2 each. There are no further Renegade options during this conversation. Choosing _Disconnect_ will not award points.
- 5Conclude your conversation with the Council.
- 6Speak with your crew members. Depending on your Shepard's gender, Ashley, Kaidan, and Liara may have romance options available. You can pursue these, downplay rivalries if flirting with multiple characters, or end relationships using dialogue options (Renegade options often serve this purpose).
- 7Talk to Ashley, Garrus, Kaidan, Liara, and Wrex to receive new Codex Entries.
- 8Garrus may offer the assignment [Garrus: Find Dr. Saleon].
- 9Wrex may offer the assignment [Wrex: Family Armor].
- 10You should also have the assignments [Investigate Samples] and [Investigate Facility] from ExoGeni headquarters.
- 11Interact with the Galaxy Map to receive an important transmission from the Council, which initiates the mission [Virmire]. This transmission is unlocked after completing two of the three core post-Citadel missions (Therum, Feros, Noveria).
- 12Agree to receive the transmission and visit the Comm Room for intel from the Council, which officially starts the [Virmire] mission.
- 13During the conversation with the Council to start Virmire, choosing Paragon/Renegade options will earn you Paragon +2 or Renegade +2, respectively.
- 14If you have not yet completed [Noveria], it is recommended to do so now, along with any remaining assignments in your journal.
- 15After completing all other desired tasks, proceed to the [Virmire] mission. Note that completing Virmire locks you into the game's end-game sequence and will permanently alter your squad.
- 16If you visit the Citadel, speak with Udina in his office to update him on Feros. Choosing Paragon/Renegade options during this conversation will award Paragon +2 or Renegade +2, respectively.
