Kaidan Alenko Quests on the Citadel

Last update: 29 October 2022

On this page of the Mass Effect 3 game guide you will find the walkthrough for the Citadel side quest Kaidan Alenko. In our guide we explain where the hospital is located, when it's a good idea to visit Kaidan and how to unlock Kaidan as a team member once again.

Received from: Commander Bailey [Citadel: Bay D24]

Unlocked by: You will be able to start this mission during your first visit to the Citadel after completing Priority: Mars main quest.

You will be allowed to visit a heavily injured Kaidan as soon as you've arrived on the Citadel for the first time and he will be mentioned during a short conversation with commander Bailey. Proceed towards the elevator and travel to [Citadel: Huerta Memorial Hospital]. Once you're there head to the area where the injured are being treated. Kaidan's room is the first one to the right. It's worth knowing that before you visit Kaidan you can find out about his condition from doctor Chakwas and doctor Michel. You may also purchase a gift for him in the Sirta shop found in the hospital (paragon points). The visit itself doesn't any have important moments.

After you've completed Priority: Palaven main mission you should receive a text message from Kaidan (private terminal) from which you'll find out that Udina wants him to become a Spectre. It would be good to grant Kaidan's wish and to visit him again in the clinic in [Citadel: Huerta Memorial Hospital] in order to give him advice about the proposal and to wish him a swift return to full health.

You should receive the next message from Kaidan (private terminal) not long after the previous meeting. Just as before, you must travel to the Citadel in order to talk to him in [Citadel: Huerta Memorial Hospital]. Congratulate Kaidan on receiving a Spectre status. You should also inquire if he wants to return to the Normandy as a crew member, however you won't be making any final decision just yet.

The finale of this quest will take place near the end of the Priority: The Citadel #2 main quest. If you didn't shoot Kaidan during the cut-scene with ambassador Udina, then you will meet him while trying to return to the Normandy and you will be presented with a choice. You can allow Kaidan to join admiral Hackett's team (he will become a war asset) or you can ask him to return to the Normandy as a crew member.

Prizes for completing the mission:

1. New party member (rejoined): Kaidan Alenko (only if he was asked to return)
2. War asset [Kaidan Alenko] (only if he joined admiral Hackett's team)
