Mass Effect 1 Legendary Edition

Scan the Keepers

By
Ben Chard

This Assignment takes place during your first visit to the Citadel. Alternatively, you can encounter this step as part of the Citadel: Jahleed’s Fears Assignment.

(1 of 2) You’ll find Chorban after the first Council meeting in the Tower

You’ll find Chorban after the first Council meeting in the Tower (left), agree to assist him to begin the Assignment. (right)

How to Begin

Scan the Keepers is involved in two seperate paths during your first visit to the Citadel, with Scan the Keepers being the most common step for most players. After speaking to the Council for the first time, you’ll spot Chorban examining a nearby Keeper as you head down the stairs. Speaking with him and agreeing to help him will begin this Assignment.

Alternatively, should you ignore him or decline to assist him, you can begin the Citadel: Jahleed’s Fears Assignment by finding and speaking with Jahleed in the C-Sec Offices. Regardless of your choice, you’ll either collect data for Chorban or Jahleed.

Where to find the Keepers

You’ll need to scan a total of 20 Keepers to complete this assignment and if you’ve been diligent with your exploration of the Citadel so far, you may have spotted some already. In order to make your search easier, work on scanning all Keepers in each area before proceeding to the next. Upon scanning 20 of them, the Assignment will complete without you needing to return to Chorban.
