Mass-effect – resolve the krogan / salarian conflict with both sides supporting the Alliance

mass-effect-3

This question contains spoilers.

I just finished Mass Effect 3 and I was able to keep both quarians and the geth for the final push. Since this conflict is the deepest (in my opinion) among all the other conflicts between races, so I was wondering whether I can cure the genophage and still earn the salarian's support?

Best Answer

You can also gain both their support under specific circumstances.

  1. Wreave must be alive instead of Wrex.
  2. You had to destroy Maelon's data in ME2.

With Maelon's data destroyed Eve dies during the run towards the genophage distribution facility, you can then persuade Mordin that with Eve dead Wreave will have no one to control his krogan behavior and he will agree on faking the genophage cure. Wreave thinks he's cured, you get Krogan support. You didn't cure the genophage, you get Salarian support.

If Wrex is alive, the only way is by saving the council dude.

Either way is pretty heartbreaking, You either lose Wrex or you lose Thane or Kirrahe.
