Mass Effect (PC) Guide › Walkthrough › Chapter 8: Endgame

The Citadel Besieged

This is it. Commander Shepard has finally solved the mystery surrounding Saren, the Reapers, and the Conduit. Having fought tooth and nail to reach the Prothean-made relay on Ilos, Shepard finds that Saren has already used the device to travel to the Citadel.

The station is already under siege by the indoctrinated turian’s synthetic followers, and Shepard used the Conduit in swift pursuit. Time is running out, but there may yet be a way to stop Saren’s madness and break the Reapers’ horrific cycle of genocide.

The Citadel Besieged

This trip to the Citadel is even worse than the last. The entire place is being overrun by Saren’s synthetic forces, and Sovereign has initiated a full-scale attack on the station, backed by a fleet of geth warships.

It’s safe to say Shepard won’t be making any pleasant visits to the asari consort’s chambers this time around.
