She contacts Garrus on the comm, asking him to come over and talk which Garrus turns down, wishing to be alone.
If Garrus otherwise died during the suicide mission, however, she confesses to be unsure of his opinion on Palaven had he lived. She is still caught up in her work and is unable to truly savor the beauty of the Citadel. Shepard can tell her to take more time off, but she insists on working, asking Shepard to meet Barla Von who might be able to help the war effort. Matriarch Aethyta tends to Apollo's Cafe, a few steps away from Liara's table. If Shepard talks to her, Aethyta reveals her story for moving out of Illium, as well as the fact she's actually Liara's "father".
She spies on Liara on behalf of the matriarchs, and Shepard can convince her and her daughter to meet up. If Shepard talks to Liara about this, she reveals she already knows who Aethyta is.
Liara has no intention of speaking with her, which can prompt an annoyed Shepard to egg her on. Shepard can stand nearby and eavesdrop on their conversations, which start off awkward but then goes into reminiscing about Benezia. Liara learns quite a few things from her father: Aethyta bugged her Illium office, she has a half-sister who is part-hanar, and it was Aethyta who first coined the "Little Wing" nickname Benezia gave her.
After further conversations, it appears that Liara has warmed up to Aethyta. She begins to acknowledge Aethyta as "dad" and even tells her she's "the best father a girl could wish for" after receiving an asari commando squad as a "gift". After the emergency evacuation of Grissom Academy , Liara is impressed with the mettle of the rescued biotic students, even crediting Jack 's positive influence if she was also involved.
She does think it odd to see an entire academy just for biotic children, as asari basic education covers biotic training programs. Liara eventually comes forth with a special project to present to Shepard, asking for face time in the Captain's Cabin at the earliest time possible. She has created a time capsule containing information on various things in their cycle, including the Reapers and plans for the Crucible , monitored similar to the Prothean VIs they encountered.
She seeded multiple copies on many planets in case they lose to the Reapers, hoping the next cycle can carry on their work. However, she wanted to ask how she can portray Shepard for future generations. Shepard can tell her to decide for herself, be honest or show how inspiring the Commander was. Liara describes Shepard according to background , class , and disposition if the Commander decides that she knows them well enough.
After the mission to rescue the turian platoon, Liara can be found with Garrus enjoying some rare leisure time in the Port Observation Lounge. They catch up on each other's lives: Garrus freely talks about his sojourn on Omega as Archangel. Liara, on the other hand, shares very scant details of her activities: a few "explosive battles" with Cerberus and her mutual adventure with Shepard on Mars.
Liara has a few observations about the krogan and their leadership in the aftermath of the mission to cure the genophage. The krogan are gearing up for a full-scale war, which Liara thinks isn't much different from how things always were on Tuchanka. If Wrex is the Clan Urdnot leader, Liara expresses her lingering doubts about the cure, hoping that the krogan don't misuse it.
She knows the other krogan are not like Wrex, who might not be able to stop them from starting a new krogan empire. If Wreav instead is the leader, Liara worries about his actions once the war is over. If Eve survived the cure process, Liara admires her courage and determination.
Eve reminds her of some of the most formidable matriarchs she knows. If Eve didn't make it, Liara wishes she could've seen the rebirth of her people. It comes from the planet Lesuss and Shepard is requested to investigate it as several asari commando squads have gone silent after going there.
She never understood what Ash wanted to prove, but Liara admired her bravery. She felt less alienated with Kaidan on the Normandy because he was biotic and because he was friendly with her from the start.
She offers condolences if Shepard was involved with either Virmire survivor, and agonizes over the pain of shooting them down whether it was her, Shepard, or another party member who directly pulled the trigger. Shepard can claim they wished there was another way, or intone harshly that their former teammate chose their fate when they sided with Udina.
Shepard's train of thought shifts to Kai Leng , the Cerberus agent prominently involved in the coup, and Liara doesn't think it's a coincidence Leng was also ranked N7 like the Commander. Liara promises to update Shepard on the matter if anything new comes up.
After the mission on Lesuss, Liara sympathizes with the fate of Samara 's family. If the family all died in the monastery, Liara starts questioning the necessity of Falere's death but thinks better of it and goes back to work. If Falere lived but witnessed Samara die, Liara laments on Falere never getting the chance to know her mother, additionally thinking back to her own experience on seeing Benezia die on Noveria if she was personally present there.
If only Rila died, however, Liara isn't upset as much. She's glad the monastery was destroyed as she believes nobody deserves to be turned into Reaper abominations like the banshees. Upon completion of the mission to sabotage the geth dreadnought , Liara has an intercom conversation with Joker , who asks if her "hair tentacles" move. Liara is flustered and refuses to answer his question, and Shepard can support either of them. If Shepard supports Joker, an exasperated Liara tells him that the hair tentacles are semi-flexible cartilage based scalp crests.
Joker is happy he won a bet with Vega , and Liara quips at least he's making friends. When Shepard returns from delving into the geth consensus Liara can be found conversing on the comm with Legion. She expresses disappointment in learning that the geth did not come across any Prothean technology to analyze, which Legion confirms by saying the geths knowledge on the subject is no greater than her own.
Regardless, Liara thanks Legion for looking into the matter, to which Legion responds that because Shepard placed faith in it Legion will in turn place its faith with the rest of the Normandy. Liara corrects Legion by saying it meant the Normandy's crew, to which Legion clarifies that it does not see a meaningful distinction between the two.
After the events on Rannoch , if either quarians or geth were destroyed, Liara becomes very disquieted. If the quarians are gone, Liara forbids Glyph from issuing salvage orders on their derelict ships.
If Tali died on Rannoch, Liara partially bases the decision on letting her rest. If Tali died on the suicide mission, Liara takes solace in the fact she never lived to see her race's extinction. If the geth were destroyed, Liara holds an intercom session with EDI and recalls how terrified she was when she first encountered the synthetics.
If peace between the races was achieved, Liara converses with Tali on the comm, expressing wonder and amazement at the feat they pulled off. She hopes that the quarians would start accepting the geth as more than servants, even friends.
Liara insists on accompanying the Commander down on Thessia during the hunt for the Catalyst , distraught about the ongoing Reaper invasion of her world. She helps in convincing the local soldiers to cooperate with their mission and breaks the security field obstructing the temple they were supposed to go to, but learns disconcerting implications about asari history in the process: that of Prothean interference in their early development.
She witnesses a Prothean VI emerge from a previously-hidden Prothean Beacon in the temple, and Kai Leng shows up soon after intending to steal it. A vicious battle ensues, and Liara works with the squad in trying to bring Leng down.
At the end Leng manhandles Liara and throws her to Shepard's other squadmate, orders his support gunship to destroy the temple's support structures, and gets what he came for. Liara can do little other than pull Shepard out of a chasm and process the import of the day's defeat.
Liara sulks at her cabin in the aftermath of the battle, angry at being kept unaware of the beacon by her mother. EDI reminds her over comm that Benezia may have been simply shielding her as the penalties for hoarding Prothean tech are rather stiff, an explanation Liara accepts. If Shepard talks to her, Liara tearfully blames herself for the fate of her homeworld. She despairs at being unable to live up to her promises, making a point of asking Shepard how many asari died because she demanded her help.
If Shepard interrupts her, Liara's morale is restored when Shepard tells her "none": she did warn her people for four years, and while Thessia may have fallen the asari in general are still alive. Liara gets off her bed and begins working back at her terminal to help refugees, feeling she owes them at least this much. If Shepard doesn't interrupt her, the Commander either points out the futility of saving Thessia even if they beat Cerberus, a notion Liara grows to accept, or the Commander opts instead to divert her attention to the next mission, a notion Liara also accepts for precisely that reason.
After the mission to Horizon , Liara has a few words to say about Miranda provided she was also involved. If Miranda died at Sanctuary, Liara briefly wishes her rest in peace, additionally advising Shepard that even he couldn't have stopped her from going if Shepard and Miranda were lovers. If Miranda survived, Liara keeps tabs on her recovery and tells Shepard the news when asked. Liara observes she always found Miranda to be a very driven woman, additionally wishing Shepard and Miranda happiness together if they are lovers.
Glyph interrupts with a compilation of Sanctuary's victims, and Liara orders the VI to prepare death notices for their next of kin.
If Shepard killed a lot of Reaper troops while on the gun, Liara will report that not many more wounded have been brought in, to which Shepard responds positively.
If Shepard failed to repel the Reapers sufficiently, Liara will report losses and that some of the wounded likely won't survive, and Shepard responds grimly that the Reapers are "closing in. Liara offers Shepard a gift: to join her consciousness to Shepard's, as she did back when the two first met, to share some of Liara's memories together as a farewell.
If Liara is in the squad at the final push towards the Conduit , she is killed by Harbinger if the galaxy's forces rallied against the Reapers aren't enough. If Shepard activates the Crucible and the galaxy's might is sufficient enough to hold against the Reapers, she will continue to live on and will be seen honoring the fallen in the Normandy's memorial wall, along with the other survivors of Shepard's current crew.
If Shepard refuses to activate the Crucible, a VI representation of Liara can be seen on an unidentified planet many years later narrating the events of her cycle. Her time capsule project was a success, and the culture who discovered her devices wisely used the information within to rid themselves of the Reaper threat in their time, as narrated by one such person in that far-off future.
As the Normandy's resident Prothean expert, Liara skills are brought to bear in an artifact retrieval mission on Eden Prime. Upon reaching the excavation site, Liara showcases her expertise depending on whether she already has a rapport with the squad.
If she wasn't really close to the team, Liara launches into an explanation of Prothean architectural evolution. If she had significantly more interactions with the group, the other squadmate invariably asks if she has ever uncovered a dinosaur. Liara smartly delineates the differences between paleontology and archaeology before realizing she's being yanked around.
Liara is surprised at learning they weren't retrieving just some Prothean artifact: what was unearthed, in fact, was a working stasis pod with a live Prothean inside. She helps Shepard in retrieving the command signals needed to safely open the pod while dealing with Cerberus forces in the area. When the dust has settled, she bears witness to the reawakening of the last Prothean in the galaxy: Javik. Liara is initially overjoyed to have a real living Prothean onboard the Normandy.
However, following several conversations with him, she slowly grows disappointed. Having previously imagined Protheans as the "keepers of wisdom and enlightenment" of their era, Liara finds them to be cold and ruthless imperialistic warlords. In the aftermath of a mission when asked if she is working on anything Liara will explain that she's trying to decode some of the Crucibles designs, though theoretical particle physics were not her specialty.
She laments how Javik is still being withdrawn, and how she wishes she could trade the last years of her life to resurrect one Prothean scientist to help them. After the fall of Thessia, she can be found in Javik's cabin caught in a fierce argument with its occupant. Liara vehemently disbelieves the implication of Prothean involvement in asari history, and interprets Javik's blunt replies as gloating.
Shepard can choose to defuse the situation , which results in a tentative peace between the two. Both sides slowly grow to respect and appreciate each other over time and, if Javik does not touch his memory shard, are thinking of writing a book together titled "Journeys with the Prothean". If Shepard didn't interrupt them, Liara decides he's not worth fighting and storms off Javik's quarters. Shepard can follow her to her cabin whichever way the argument ends and provide words of comfort.
After Shepard is attacked by an unknown mercenary group shortly after the crew's shore leave, Liara is the first one to come to Shepard's aid during the ambush at the Wards , provided Shepard is romantically involved with either herself, or any other "non-combatant" such as Steve Cortez or Samantha Traynor.
In Shepard's Personal Apartment , Liara calls in favors to find information on the gun found by the Commander, which leads to a casino owner named Elijah Khan , who is suspected of using his money to smuggle weapons onto the Citadel. Consequently, the information broker advises the commander to infiltrate Khan's casino alongside Maya Brooks in order to obtain more information, offering to come herself as well.
She is later part of the raid on the Citadel Archives to hunt down the Mysterious Figure with the rest of Shepard's squad. After the conclusion of the fiasco, Liara can assist the Commander for competitions in the Armax Arsenal Arena. Shepard can also invite Liara up to their Personal Apartment.
When she arrives, Liara begins to play the piano located on the lower floor. When asked about the song she is playing, she says it is the only one she knows; Liara had learned the song from a colleague while trapped in a storm at a Prothean dig, as she had needed something to occupy her time. If Liara's just platonic with Shepard, she reflects that because of the time she spends chasing down knowledge she forgets about the things that can be learned by doing nothing - spending time with close friends.
She jokingly claims she learned how to get herself in life-threatening situations on a daily basis as a result of her association with Shepard. When she excuses herself to continue her work the Commander offers her the apartment for long-distance work or just taking a break in general. Liara gladly accepts. If Liara and Shepard are lovers, Glyph proceeds to play the rest of the song as the couple move toward the window.
Liara appears on the verge of saying something, but excuses herself and turns away. Shepard can pull her back , and regardless of this action suggests doing similar intimate moments in the future. The duo make out as Glyph continues to play the piano. Regardless of prior circumstances, Liara lounges in a couch by the ground floor fireplace for a while after the meet.
Liara is a mandatory invitee to Shepard's big party. When Shepard first reunites with Liara on the mission to the Prothean Archives , the Commander takes her hands into theirs. Liara expresses her worries for the Commander as she had heard about the attack on Earth. She regrets not being able to visit Shepard during their imprisonment. The Commander then says they had missed her too. Later in the mission, in a security post, Liara blames herself for not realizing that Dr.
Shepard tries to dissuade her from thinking it's her fault. When she expresses doubt, The Commander then moves closer to her and takes her hands in theirs, assuring her that they will stop the Reapers together.
After the discouraging meeting with the Council , when the Commander visits her room, Liara shares her concern for both their lives given their dangerous occupations. She reminisces about her tour of the Normandy if Shepard invited her aboard after bringing down the old Broker, but doesn't let it keep her from asking if Shepard is still interested in her as it has been some time since they were together.
If the Commander became involved with someone else prior to their reunion, Liara particularly demands to know if Shepard is willing to break that off.
If Shepard wants to resume the relationship, they take her into their arms. There were a lot of reasons they were happy to see Liara on Mars. Liara would like that list but she regrets she has a lot to do for the moment. On the Citadel , after the turian primarch 's rescue, Shepard meets Matriarch Aethyta in Apollo's Cafe, who turns out to be Liara's "father". She warns Shepard she won't let them within a light-year of Liara if they retain Cerberus ties.
Then she tells the Commander about the matriarchs' plans to assassinate Liara if she overstepped the line, to which the Commander can respond aggressively and make it clear to Aethyta that Liara is their girl. She muses about her "young" age and how that could allow her to witness the entire cycle coming to an end. Shepard tells her not to give up hope. When Liara wonders how the Commander is able to keep going, Shepard claims they couldn't do anything without her.
Liara sits down on Shepard's lap, gives them a quick kiss, and calls them "flatterer". After the Cerberus attack on the Citadel , Liara asks Shepard to join her on the Citadel for some free time.
She waxes nostalgic about her mother and childhood. Shepard can ask her to tell more about Benezia or simply offer their condolences. They can either cut off their budding romance, if there was any, or permanently affirm it. If Shepard chooses to affirm it, they tell Liara that they wish to spend their life with her. She accepts and they kiss. After the revelation in the asari temple , during the conversation with Javik, Shepard asks him whether he was honest with his words of encouragement to a grief-stricken Liara, who just watched her world devastated by the Reapers.
The Commander insists that it is important as Liara means a lot to them, to which Javik will say that he meant it. Shepard then proceeds to comfort Liara in her cabin. During the mission to uncover the secret of Leviathan , she is very worried about Shepard venturing underwater. When Shepard manages to get back to the surface, Liara helps the Commander to the shuttle and attempts to revive them. When Shepard regains consciousness, she begs the Commander to never take a risk like that again.
Once back aboard the Normandy, Liara quips that she doesn't want any tentacled creature inside Shepard's mind except herself. Before the attack on Cerberus Headquarters , Liara heads to Shepard's quarters, where they converse about getting ready for the final battle. She notes how easy it would be if they just went somewhere far away and just lived out their lives in peace. Shepard thinks there's no place they'd rather be, and Liara agrees. The Artemis Tau cluster is located in the bottom right, so make this your next destination.
Next, you want to select the Knossos system, and then visit the planet Therum. This is where Liara can be found. As soon as you touch down on the planet's surface, Joker will report strange activity. Unlike other planets where you can openly explore, the path on Therum is linear so as to guide you to your story destination. You'll largely be making your way down various roads in the Mako, taking out different enemies along the way.
Once you've finally made your way into the Prothean Ruins, you'll find Liara trapped inside a Prothean barrier and she'll need your help to get out. Liara is also one of three characters you can romance in the first Mass Effect title and it feels more natural story-wise if she joins your squad as early as possible.
These were rough back in the day too since Bioware was still figuring out what Mass Effect was and how mechanics worked. Pull up your Galaxy Map and head to the Artemis Tau cluster before selecting the Knossos system and then finally choose the planet Therum to land on. Share this article:. Comments Read this article.
