You'll also need to use all three Persuasion Options leading up to this option in the confrontation at the Citadel arm controls, and a 100% full Reputation Bar. In order to select this, you need to use every single Charm opportunity when talking with The Illusive Man on Mars, Thessia and the Cerberus HQ. All of them can allow Shepard to live, but only one guarantees it, and the non-Persuasion options may also result in Anderson being executed by the Illusive Man. Each option will be described below, as well as their possible outcomes. Use any combination of the first three Charm or Intimidate options that appear when confronting him on the Citadel.ĭepending on whether or not you met the above requirements, you'll have between two to four options available on the last Dialogue Wheel of the conversation.Picked either every Charm or every Intimidate option in the conversations with the Illusive Man on Mars, Thessia and Cerberus HQ.To sum up, here's what you need to do to unlock the final two Persuasion Options: Pick the one that aligns with the morality of your Shepard, and you'll have passed this conversation's check. Now your two Persuasion Options will show up: the "Help me, then" Charm in blue or the "Don't count me out" Intimidate in red. Rather than advancing the conversation with "You're deluded" or "Over my dead body" on the right, pick "You're wasting time!" on the left.īy choosing "You're wasting time!", Shepard will criticize this idea, and the Illusive Man responds that this isn't Shepard's fight anymore. Here he'll first make mention that he intends to stop the Reapers by controlling them, rather than destroying them as Shepard intends to do. When you do enter the Prothean Archives after crossing the tramway, you'll eventually be contacted by The Illusive Man. You only have a small amount of Morality Points imported from your save into Mass Effect 3, but even this tiny amount will be enough to open up the Persuasion Options with the Illusive Man.

Your last chance to do this will be after you finish the battle on the other side of the tramway. Most Combat Mastery upgrades will multiply the amount of Reputation Points you have, but even the first one that gives a 4% boost will be enough to open up the Persuasion options with the Illusive Man.



Normally they are greyed out, but if you fill your Reputation Bar by a certain amount (visible in the Squad Menu), you'll be able to unlock them for use. This is when extra options appear on the Dialogue Wheel in the upper-left and lower-left sections. These decisions work entirely around Mass Effect's Persuasion system.

The final conversation with the Illusive Man occurs towards the end of the game, where you have an extended debate with him over whether it's worth controlling the Reapers over destroying them, and whether he's indoctrinated.
