Mass Effect 2 - Samara: The Ardat-Yakshi

Special items on this mission:

  • Ungraded - Research Project: Assault Rifle Damage

Land on Omega and enter Afterlife. Make your way to Aria's location and askher about a Samara's daughter and she will tell you to go check out thenearby apartments. Look at your map and head to the apartments marker.

Enter the apartment area and when you see the mad prophet, duck down thealleyway to the right. Enter the door on the left and speak to the mother here,her daughter is the one who has been killed by our target, so investigate andask to look in her room. Read the journal on the bed, the message on the floorand the object on the table (these will all give you important conversationoptions later). Afterwards Samara will chat with you.

After the conversation, look at your map and make your way to the Afterlife VIParea. Tell the guard here that Jaruut sent you and he will unlock the door andadmit you access. After another short conversation with Samara, it is time toenter the VIP room and seduce the evil asari.

NOTE: If Morinth escapes here, Samara will not become loyal to you, her special ability - Reave, her new outfit and the achievement associated with this quest will not be rewarded. So be sure to save before entering the bar or quickly load the last autosave if she gets away.

To attract Morinth you need to be the most exciting person in the bar, thatmeans getting involved in everyones business. Before you do anything, go up to Vij near the entrance and talk to him about a 'sensory band' called Expel 10. Afterwards, the bar is your oyster!

You can do the following:

  • Talk to Horftin and he will ask you to go help his friend. Go over to Florit on the far side of the bar and choose the terminal option, then the eternity option.
  • Insult Verf - Go up to the krogan at the bar and insult him.
  • Dance with Waera - dance with the Asari on the dance floor.
  • Ask the bartender for free drinks, or buy a round for everybody.
  • Punch the Turian who is trying to buy the asari's company.

After doing enough of these activities you will be approached by Morinth whowill invite you to a booth to chat. If you do not say the right things to her during the conversation she will leave and you will be unable to find heragain. If this happens load a previous save otherwaise Samara will not become loyal to Shepard.

Begin by telling her you are both alike, then use the following options to pass her conversation test:

  • Art > Elcor Forta > Vaeina
  • Music > Expel 10>
  • When she offers you drugs, reply with the Hallex option.
  • Travel > I like Danger > Power is a reward

Once you have impressed her, she will take you home. You will now have to keepher busy until Samara arrives. Examine the gun on the wall behind you and tothe right for a Research Project (Assault Rifle damage). Check out the variousinteractible things around the apartment to burn some time, then head down andchat with Morinth. After a short chat Samara will come in and attack. After ascene, if your renegade level is high enough (I only had one bar of renegade and was given the option) you can choose between Morinth and Samara and killthe other. Once you have made your choice, the mission will be complete.

Rewards:

  • 750 XP
  • 30,000 Credits
  • Samara Power: Reave
  • Samara: New Outfit
