Mass Outcome 3 was the culmination of almost half a decade of storytelling. Ending controversy aside, Bioware did requite a satisfying send-off for a lot of the beloved characters that players grew to dear over the RPG trilogy. Some though can seize with teeth the dust and one of those characters is the scientist Salarian: Mordin Solus.

For nearly, Mordin sacrifices himself to cure the genophage, the disease that has been affecting the state of war-hungry Krogan for centuries. But it is, in fact, possible to prevent Mordin from dying and take him as a war asset against the Reapers. In that location are a number of things that must be done beyond all 3 games to meet the criteria in saving Mordin's life. Here is what must exist done in order to save everyone's favorite Salarian.

Sadly, in lodge to save Mordin'due south life, players will take to sacrifice another beloved companion. That companion being Urdnot Wrex. Halfway through the Virmire mission, it is discovered that Saren'due south base is being used as a facility to create Krogan which also has a cure for the genophage.

The genophage has washed massive damage to Krogan society, then it is understandable that Wrex is adamant nearly destroying the base and begins to question his loyalties. Shepard will be forced to deal with Wrex one way or another. Normally, he can be talked out of it, but in order to salvage Mordin,Wrex has to die.

Killing him ensures that he does not become the leader of clan Urdnot in Mass Upshot two and the position will instead go to his brother, Wreav. Wreav wants revenge for what the galaxy did to his people which plays a key part in Mordin's decision in the third game.

The majority of what must be washed to salve Mordin will take to be done in the second game. This makes sense since he first appears in this game.

When talking to Mordin about halfway through the game, Mordin volition tell Shepard about how a former student of his, Maelon, has supposedly been kidnapped on the Krogan homeworld of Tuchanka. This will start his loyalty mission.

An Unsettling Reveal

Mordin volition reveal before and during the loyalty mission how he worked on a genophage modification project. The project entailed him working to fix the original strand of the genophage, which the Krogan started adapting to, to get the disease to how it was earlier. The mission shows that the Krogan association responsible for the kidnapping, Weryloc, has been trying to cure it with some vicious experiments happening as a result.

It is somewhen revealed that Maelon wasn't kidnapped but had come voluntarily to try and cure the genophage. Players will have the choice of either killing or sparing Maelon just either upshot will non affect the probabilities of being able to save Mordin in the next game. All that leaves now is the information from the experiments.

Mass Effect 2: Destroy The Data

The data must exist destroyed in society to save Mordin in the next game. The data is important since it contains data that could be used to relieve Eve'due south life in the next game. Not having this will ensure she dies which is an important gene in convincing Mordin not to sacrifice himself.

Ensure He Survives The Suicide Mission

Of grade, completing his loyalty mission is not plenty, you as well take to ensure he survives the suicide mission. Before even launching the mission, three upgrades to the ship need to be acquired. Otherwise, Shepard volition lose three companions before even reaching the Collector base of operations and Mordin could be one of those companions.

The upgrades required are:

  • Heavy Send Armor (talk to Jacob nigh Normandy upgrades or complete his loyalty mission)
  • Mult-Cadre Shielding (talk to Tali about Normandy upgrades or complete her loyalty mission)
  • Thanix Cannon (talk to Garrus virtually Normandy upgrades or complete his loyalty mission)

In one case landing on the base, in that location is only one assignment that Mordin is all-time suited for, that consignment existence escorting the crew of the Normandy SR-2. Since he is loyal, he will be fully focused on his given consignment and will be successful.Practice non choose him for whatsoever of the other assignments since he is non well-suited for them.

If he is brought along for Shepard'south squad that moves through a bunch of Collector seeker-swarms with a biotic escort, choice either Samara or Jack. Picking anyone likewise those two will cause the shield to go downwards early and potentially result in him getting carried away to his expiry by the swarms.

Should Mordin survive the suicide mission, he will testify up as Wreav's inside source on Sur'Kesh. Subsequently saving Eve from Cerberus, he will be on the Normandy where he tries to piece of work on a cure. Plenty fourth dimension will pass until he reveals the shroud on Tuchanka that tin can be used to dispense the cure.

Right before the mission, Shepard will be contacted by the Salarian Dalatrass virtually sabotaging the cure in exchange for Salarian assistance in the war against the Reapers. During this encounter, she will reveal how the last people to utilize the shroud sabotaged information technology to foreclose a potential cure to exist released.

On the mode to the Shroud,do nonreveal this to anyone. Doing then will cause Mordin to find a workaround and ruin the run a risk to salvage him.

The Big Moment

Mordin contemplates what to do at the Shroud

After defeating the Reaper guarding the Shroud, Shepard volition come across Mordin at the basis floor of it to talk to him as the facility begins to fall apart. It is hither that Mordin reveals Eve died, which is a outcome of destroying Maelon'south data. With her dead, no one tin stand up up to Wreav'southward ambitions of conquest.

Mordin will insist on going upwards. Players will demand to have plenty reputation points -- virtually half the bar -- and select the renegade option to convince him to not cure the genophage simply yet. He will exist convinced and reluctantly walk away.

What Happens Afterwards

The Krogan are now tricked into believing the genophage was cured and Wreav is none the wiser. Mordin volition go into hiding in order to go along up the facade, meaning he can't be a companion again but he will be a war asset, as previously stated. He tin also be talked to before the terminal push on Globe at the end of the game.

In the ending slideshow, he is seen working in a lab seemingly working on some other cure for the genophage. With his mind, it is probable a cure truly will be found.
