Guides / Mass Effect 1 (Legendary Edition)
Citadel Tower
Commander Shepard enters the Council Chambers inside the Citadel Tower to confront Saren and stop Sovereign from opening the relay for the Reapers. You must navigate the devastated chamber, defeat Saren's geth forces, and access the Citadel Master Control terminal. After securing the console, you fight Saren—or his reanimated form—one final time to decide the fate of the galaxy.
Enemies
He uses a hover platform to maneuver around the chamber, firing rockets and deploying shields until forced into dialogue or direct combat.
Saren's reanimated corpse leaps rapidly between walls and pillars, firing energy blasts and rushing in for melee strikes.
Standard frontline synthetic infantry defending the chamber pathways alongside snipers.
Positioned on elevated debris to fire high-explosive rockets at your squad.
Tips
- If you have high Charm or Intimidate, you can convince Saren to shoot himself during the initial confrontation, bypassing the first phase of the boss fight entirely.
- Keep your squad spread out and use Damping or Overload to strip Saren Husk's shields quickly when he pauses on the ground.
