One path weaves through Mass Effect 1 , 2, and 3 and is the difference between saving Mordin Solus' life or letting him die in Mass Effect 3.
First introduced in Mass Effect 2 as a party member, Mordin Solus is a Salarian scientist who specializes in genetics. He plays a major part in the creation and modification of the genophage, a bioweapon that is meant to drastically decrease the birthrate of Krogans. Despite not coming to the series until midway through Mass Effect 2 , Commander Shepard begins impacting Mordin's storyline in Mass Effect 1. For those who just picked up Mass Effect: Legendary Edition , be warned, saving Mordin requires a renegade playthrough.
T his article contains spoilers for Mass Effect 1, 2 and 3. During this encounter, she will reveal how the last people to use the shroud sabotaged it to prevent a potential cure to be released. On the way to the Shroud, do not reveal this to anyone. Doing so will cause Mordin to find a workaround and ruin the chance to save him. After defeating the Reaper guarding the Shroud, Shepard will meet Mordin at the ground floor of it to talk to him as the facility begins to fall apart.
It is here that Mordin reveals Eve died, which is a result of destroying Maelon's data. With her dead, no one can stand up to Wreav's ambitions of conquest. Mordin will insist on going up. Players will need to have enough reputation points -- about half the bar -- and select the renegade option to convince him to not cure the genophage just yet. He will be convinced and reluctantly walk away. The Krogan are now tricked into believing the genophage was cured and Wreav is none the wiser.
Mordin will go into hiding in order to keep up the facade, meaning he can't be a companion again but he will be a war asset, as previously stated.
He can also be talked to before the final push on Earth at the end of the game. In the ending slideshow, he is seen working in a lab seemingly working on another cure for the genophage.
With his mind, it is likely a cure truly will be found. He even offers to forward "charts" and relevant videos to EDI, though Joker prevents him from doing so. The pilot understandably wants to keep the conversation a secret and Mordin even guarantees Shepard won't learn about it from him.
Mordin also tries pairing Garrus with Eve, reasoning that the turian is loyal, reasonably intelligent and almost krogan-like, although she's not interested. The female krogan, in turn, tries badgering Mordin into singing for her, and the salarian may be overheard complying in true Gilbert and Sullivan fashion:. Off to fight, since turians can't, with diplomats instead of a krantt. But she'll be true to Tuchanka's dream, and live and die a krogan queen! Hurrah, hurrah for the krogan queen!
And it is, it is a glorious thing to be the krogan queen! Once Mordin verifies that he can synthesize the genophage cure for universal krogan immunity, by process of impromptu elimination of unsuitable transmission vectors he proposes using the Shroud , a salarian facility used in repairing Tuchanka's atmosphere, as it also contains the original genophage strain. He plans to use the strain as the cure carrier and the facility itself to infect the entire planet at once, and excuses himself to the med bay until Shepard decides it's time.
Shepard can ask the doctor why the seeming change of heart as he always defended the notion the krogan were better off with the genophage.
Mordin says it's because of the changed situation, and in his own words: "Reaper invasion. Turians doomed without krogan support. Krogan need unified threat, outlet for aggression. Cooperative symbiosis. Not many salarian scientists are interested in the genophage, he reasons, and he feels it's his job to get things right as the stakes are too high for inexperience and failure.
Provided it was preserved, Mordin notes that his usage of Maelon's data in the quest to cure the genophage is because he knows it can help. While he notes the data has unethical origins, he concedes that there will always be scientists willing to perform unethical tests, and that helpful information must be put to use regardless of how it was acquired. Assuming his student is still alive, Mordin notes he directed teams to locate Maelon, adding that the chaos of the ongoing war and the galaxy's large size means that the chances of finding the errant salarian are remote.
He also adds that he would kill Maelon if he were to find him, unless he could aid in curing the genophage. Shepard asks him if he plans to stick around when the war is over, and Mordin replies he's unsure what to do next as he reflects on the impact his work has made on the galaxy. He settles for going someplace sunny, a beach, and start collecting seashells. Shepard teases he'd go restless in an hour, and Mordin quips he may have to run tests on the seashells.
Mordin eventually reports Eve ready for travel to Tuchanka. Once in orbit, he alerts Shepard about the new form of Reaper guarding the Shroud, and agrees with the proposed distraction the military minds around him come up with.
Down on the planet, he faces hostility from the local krogan, although Shepard and company quickly assert their authority and dissuade the krogan from making rash moves. Mordin rides along with Eve and the Urdnot leader in a tomkah en route to the Shroud, later relaying his observations about the colossal thresher maw chasing them: metal in truck an excellent iron supplement in the thresher maw's diet when Wrex sarcastically asks the salarian for something he doesn't yet know, or insinuating krogan halitosis may be the reason the thresher maw is chasing them instead of "salarian meat" that Wreav puts forth as a jab.
Earlier on the Normandy, the salarian Dalatrass Linron covertly offered Shepard a deal: sabotage of the genophage cure in return for salarian support. The salarians anticipated use of the Shroud and sabotaged it years earlier, and the dalatrass wanted the Commander to ensure the salarian doctor wouldn't try and fix the issue. If Shepard confesses this fact early, Mordin assures everyone he's familiar with STG work and can easily adjust for the damage.
If not, he learns about it much later. While Shepard and company attempt to summon Kalros the thresher maw to bring down the Reaper Destroyer, Mordin and Eve sneak in a lab at the Shroud facility to finalize the cure. Mordin succeeds, either pleased at Eve's survival or guilty at her death owing to traumatic stress sampling and her insistence to continue despite Mordin's wishes to stop.
At the base of the Shroud after the Reaper has been dealt with, Mordin reports the cure is loaded for dispersal, but with problems afoot. If Shepard didn't yet divulge the sabotage, Mordin detects temperature malfunction at the lab, necessitating the need for manual adjustments at the top of the Shroud.
Shepard can come clean, or continue deceiving the doctor. Whichever the case Mordin accurately deduces Shepard's complicity, and resolves to finish the job he started. If Shepard comes clean at this juncture, Mordin understands the position the Commander is in, but deems it unacceptable. Shepard once more asks why he reversed his position on the genophage, and finally Mordin shouts that he made a mistake.
He admits on focusing too much on the big picture, coming to the realization he can't hide behind statistics or ignore new data. He insists curing the genophage is his responsibility and is resolute on doing so even if it means Shepard has to put him down for it, even daring the Commander to do so.
Explosions appear throughout the massive structure, and it is now in Shepard's hands whether Mordin fixes the sabotage or not. If Shepard shoots him to prevent the fix, the doctor manages to bring the elevator up, crawling with determination towards the control console once he's there but ultimately failing to reach it in time. If Shepard allows Mordin to go up, he expresses gratitude at being able to do so, reiterating that it had to be him or someone else might have gotten it wrong.
If they had a particular discussion earlier, he mentions he would've liked to run tests on the seashells. His life is snuffed by a direct explosion in the control room. If he sang for Shepard during their adventure stopping the Collectors, Mordin dies singing his favorite tune, "Scientist Salarian", finally at peace with his work on the genophage modification project.
I love Mordin, but no way would I kill off Wrex to keep Mordin alive. The question was about both curing genofage not faking it and saving Mordin. This is impossible. Too bad that one of my favorite characters is Wrex. Spencer Williams Spencer Williams 3 3 bronze badges. This is correct, and really, it's just another way of stating the conditions noted in my answer. Wreav won't be in charge if Wrex is alive, and if you completed Mordin's loyalty mission in ME2, Eve won't die.
Oak Joe Joe 1. That option comes up if and only if Wrex and Eve are dead, at which point it's possible to argue to him that with Wreav in charge curing the genophage will restart the Krogan Rebellions. This is the cost of curing the genophage. Screenshot of the Week. Submit your photo Hall of fame. Featured on Meta. Now live: A fully responsive profile.
