Meet Harrot
The last Side Mission unlocks after you come back to Aria’s Bunker, once you’ve cleared the Talon Territory segment. During the return scene, you might notice an Elcor wandering around—this is Harrot, a merchant Shepard will recognize if you previously earned a discount from his shop in Mass Effect 2. If you didn’t connect the dots back then, you may have missed the link without his cigar.
Harrot asks Shepard to keep an eye out for Aria’s couch during the trip ahead. Choose the response “Why not?” to take on the Side Mission.
WARNING
If you select “No thanks,” the Side Mission is permanently refused, meaning you’ll lose access to both the quest rewards and the associated Achievement.
Assist Harrot
You won’t be able to progress this Side Mission for a while. It stays out of reach until after you help Aria and Nyreen at Omega’s main reactor. Once that’s done, you’ll move into “The Assault on Afterlife” finale mission, beginning with a waterworks area.
Clear the enemies in the waterworks section, then push to the far end. At that point, Cerberus destroys the bridge you would normally use. You’ll have to improvise by extending a dam to get around the damage.
After you extend the dam, cross it and then turn right to find a ladder that drops you down into the drained section. To locate Aria’s old couch, check beneath the spot where the destroyed bridge was—though Aria does not let you forget the objective, as she effectively gives the game away while you’re doing it.
