Travel to Widow
- Prerequisite: Complete “Priority: Palaven”
- Location: Serpent Nebula – Widow – Citadel – Purgatory
Once you finish “Priority: Palaven,” this side quest becomes available, and it also unlocks every zone on the Citadel so you can explore freely. The Citadel serves as the galaxy’s main gathering point, and it will always show up in the western part of the Milky Way map.
Meet Aria T’Loak
To start this side mission, head to the Purgatory bar, walk inside, climb the first short set of stairs, and then turn right. That’s where you’ll find Aria—Omega’s top figure—someone Shepard previously met during Mass Effect 2. The bad news is that Aria’s situation has clearly taken a turn for the worse, and Purgatory fits her current state just as well as her Afterlife bar did back in Mass Effect 2. When the conversation begins, respond with…
- “But you’re alive” for +2 Paragon Points.
- “Payback is hell” for +2 Renegade Points.
After that, Aria will hand you three side missions: “Aria: Blood Pack,” plus “Aria: Blue Suns” and “Aria: Eclipse“. From here, you can also say…
- “Those gangs are scum” for +2 Paragon Points.
- “Whatever it takes” for +2 Renegade Points.
Of course, this guide will focus on “Aria: Blood Pack.” Still, speaking with Aria automatically grants you the Terminus Fleet War Asset worth 50 TMS.
Meet Narl
- Location: Serpent Nebula – Widow – Citadel – Presidium Commons – Apartment 86
Following Aria’s directions, you’ll need to meet Narl at Apartment 86 in the Presidium Commons. This area sits in the southern portion of the district, and the right-hand door is marked by a green hologram in front of it. The meeting starts tense:
- Answer “I’m going to trust you” for +2 Paragon Points.
- Answer “I’ll kill you if you’re lying” for +2 Renegade Points.
No matter which earlier choice you made, the negotiation still plays out the way Aria expects: Kreete is killed by his own subordinate, Gryll. Aria has already arranged a deal with Gryll so that he can take control of the Blood Pack. When it’s over, you’ll receive +5 Reputation, 210 XP, and 5,000 Credits. You’ll also gain +50 TMS toward the Terminus Fleet War Asset you collected earlier.
