Talk to Vasir about the attack and what happened.

Vasir dismisses the Illium cops and then the conversation will differ slightly if Shepard’s Spectre status was reinstated or not. When you arrive, you will find the police are investigating the apartment under the supervision of a Spectre, Tela Vasir. Therefore, complete it before beginning the Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC. Note: If the Lair of the Shadow Broker conversation option is selected after starting Illium: Liara: System Hacking, the hacking mission instantly completes without awarding credits or experience. When finished here, head over to the Cab Console near the police station area (past the signs that say 'Nos Astra Shuttle Schedule'), and take a cab to Liara’s apartment. If Samara and Thane have both been recruited already, there is no intel available on Liara's terminal. This is the same information that you would get from talking to Liara normally. If you haven't recruited Samara or Thane yet, then the terminal will have information about them. Liara then walks out to begin forming a plan, and invites you to use her terminal for any local intel.

Liara then gives some of the backstory for Shepard about how even though Feron betrayed her, he still sacrificed himself to save Liara and Shepard. Respond to that any way you choose, and then Liara will express that after two years, she didn’t know, and looks at Shepard's old dog tags on her desk. However, the message also contains information that Feron, Liara’s former drell partner, is apparently still alive. Liara is ecstatic about the information as it contains some hints about the Shadow Broker’s location in a conversation between Shadow Broker agents. Head to Illium and talk to Liara in her office above the trading floor. In terms of heavy weapons, the standard choices that work well on other missions will work here, those choices being weapons that provide both good area of effect damage and disabling/stunning such as the M-622 Avalanche, Arc Projector, and Grenade Launcher.Ģ0 March 2017 Walkthrough Illium Meet With Liara A shield boosting power such as Barrier can also be a great advantage. Stasis can come in handy for disabling some of the tougher opponents you'll be facing instantly. Energy Drain can be a good bonus power choice for Shepard as it possesses many of the strengths of Overload while simultaneously boosting survivability. You'll be facing a fair number of enemies with barriers as well so Warp Ammo can be useful against them. A companion with Warp will be able to combo with Liara's Singularity. There will be quite a few Engineer-class enemies, so strongly consider bringing at least one Overload which in addition to its normal shield-smashing will instantly eliminate their drones before they zap you out of cover.

Be aware that her Stasis power will prove quite useful throughout the mission. Liara becomes a mandatory squadmate after a while-you can try to build around compensating for her limitations. You will be facing primarily shielded enemies, so choose your loadout accordingly. You'll want to weigh the relatively higher difficulty of the fighting versus the extremely valuable rewards awaiting you at the end these include multiple extra weapon upgrades, ways to earn additional credits, and unlocking the ability to re-train the abilities of your squad members. There will be dialogue modifications depending on whether you already undertook the suicide mission or not. Give considerable thought to when you'll be doing this mission, weighing both storyline immersion and gameplay strategy. If you really want to save the credits you can save this mission as your last one right before undertaking the Collector Ship mission (see that page for details on when it triggers). When you complete the mission, you will be in a system that is a good three to four hundred units of fuel away from a Fuel Depot. You will have no chance to return to the Normandy or the Galaxy Map, despite its length. Once you take a cab to Liara's, this mission runs straight through to the very end. On the galaxy map this mission is titled Give Liara Intel. If you'd visit Illium and pass it on to her as a gesture of goodwill, we'd appreciate it. We recently uncovered some information that might give Liara a lead on where to find the Shadow Broker's base of operations, but unfortunately, she doesn't have much faith in Cerberus intel. We wouldn't mind helping her in that hunt, given the Broker's past work for the Collectors. We're aware that your old friend Liara T'Soni has been hunting for the Shadow Broker for several years.
