Walkthrough for Mass Effect's Citadel Assignments, including Crime in Progress and Krogan Sushi. Learn how to complete quests, gain Paragon/Renegade points, and earn rewards.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Citadel: Crime in Progress
    • Obtain this assignment on level 26 from a Volus who believes a Quarian stole his credit chit.
  2. 2
    Head to Saronis Applications and speak with Marab about Kor Tun's credit chit.
  3. 3
    Return to the Volus and the Quarian. You can use a Paragon Interrupt to defend the Quarian against the Volus and C-Sec.
  4. 4
    Completing the assignment grants 5 Paragon points and 500 Credits. Using the Paragon Interrupt grants an additional 5 Paragon points.
  5. 5
    Citadel: Krogan Sushi
    • Obtain this assignment by listening to a Krogan conversation on level 27.
  6. 6
    Update the assignment by talking to the Presidum Groundskeeper in the Dark Star Lounge on level 28.
  7. 7
    To trick Kargesh, purchase fish from the Citadel Souvenir shop.
  8. 8
    Giving Kargesh the fish and lying to him (he will still appear in your fish tank) results in the same reward as other options: 1,000 Credits.
  9. 9
    Omega: Packages for Ish
    • If you accepted this assignment on Omega, a datapad will be available outside Saronis Applications.
  10. 10
    Pick it up and return it to Ish at your convenience. For efficiency, you can wait until after picking up the package on Illium.
  11. 11
    This assignment does not appear as completed, but you receive Credits instantly for each package.
  12. 12
    Reporter Al-Jilani
    • Near the Dark Star Lounge, you may encounter the reporter Al-Jilani.
  13. 13
    You can gain Paragon or Renegade points from this interaction, depending on your choices, particularly regarding the Council. A Renegade interrupt is available early on.
  14. 14
    Council Meeting
    • After completing assignments and shopping, head to the Presidium via Rapid Transit and speak with the Councilor.
  15. 15
    The meeting's outcome depends on imported saves and previous choices, but the Council will not offer help.
  16. 16
    You can choose to keep or reject your Spectre status, which has no significant impact on this game's story.
  17. 17
    .3H. Recruit The Krogan
    • Squad Recommendation: Miranda, Mordin (for their abilities, especially Mordin's Incinerate against armor/health).
  18. 18
    Enemies: Blue Suns Trooper, Heavy, Centurian (Shield); Krogan Berserker (Armor); YMIR Mech (Shield, Armor); Jedore (Shield, Armor).
  19. 19
    Items: Blue Suns Corpse (2000), Sniper Rifle (upgrade unlock), Power Cells, PDA (4000), Wall Safe (4000), Secure Terminal (4000), Lab Terminal (Krogan Vitality unlock).
  20. 20
    Head to the Eagle Nebula and land on Korlus. Engage Blue Suns troops.
  21. 21
    Persuade a wounded merc for cooperation or use a Renegade Interrupt to shoot him. Persuasion yields Paragon points and lets him go.
  22. 22
    Fight through Blue Suns patrols.
  23. 23
    Enter the lab and face Krogan Berserkers (high Armor/Health).
  24. 24
    Navigate the Blue Suns base, using cover against shielded enemies.
  25. 25
    Reach Warlord Okeer. Jedore will interrupt; fight her and her Krogan Berserkers and YMIR Mech. Focus on Krogans first, then the Mech, and finally Jedore.
  26. 26
    Return to Okeer and use the console to return to the Normandy.
  27. 27
    On the Normandy, check the pod in the Port Cargo hold for potential extra Morality points if you have enough persuasion.
  28. 28
    Completion Reward: 1,000 XP, 20,000 Credits.
  29. 29
    .3I. Recruit The Convict
    • Squad Recommendation: Miranda, anyone (due to mixed shield/armor enemy defenses).
Tips
  • For "Crime in Progress," the Paragon Interrupt is a fun way to gain extra points and see Shepard's reaction.
  • The "Krogan Sushi" assignment's fish will appear in your fish tank even if you lie to Kargesh.
  • The "Omega: Packages for Ish" assignment rewards Credits instantly, so don't worry about its completion status.
  • Consider using the "Recruit The Krogan" mission to try out squad members you haven't used much.
  • Leveling Mordin's Incinerate ability is highly effective against armored enemies encountered during "Recruit The Krogan."
  • Citadel: Crime in Progress: 1,000 Credits, +5 Paragon points (additional +5 for Paragon Interrupt).
  • Citadel: Krogan Sushi: 1,000 Credits.
  • Recruit The Krogan: 1,000 XP, 20,000 Credits.
