Mass Effect 3 - How to SAVE EVE (Tuchanka Bomb & Maelon's Data)

Eve’s fate in Mass Effect 3 is actually connected to a decision made in the previous game during Mordin’s loyalty mission, Old Blood. During the mission you will track down Mordin’s old research assistant, Maelon, who is conducting brutal experiments for Clan Weyrloc on Tuchanka.

Maelon hopes to create a cure for the genophage by any means necessary, but Mordin and Shepard shut down his operation. After Maelon is dealt with, either by killing him or chasing him off, Mordin asks Shepard what to do with Maelon’s research data.

You will have four dialogue options leading to two different outcomes - deleting the data or saving it for later.

If you want to save Eve in Mass Effect 3, you need to save Maelon’s data during this mission.

MASS EFFECT 3 - WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DON'T CURE THE GENOPHAGE

HIDDEN MORDIN VS GRUNT FIGHT IN MASS EFFECT 2

Eve was part of Maelon’s research experiments but she managed to escape along with several other female Krogan. The females were later recovered by the Salarian Special Tasks Group and taken to a research facility on Sur’Kesh. Unfortunately, the Krogan women were in bad shape and Eve is the only survivor from the group. When Shepard and crew meet her on Sur’Kesh she is in an isolation chamber, recovering from the effects of the experiments and other subsequent hardships. If Mordin is still alive, he will be part of the STG research team working to treat the Krogan females. Otherwise, this role will be filled by Padok Wiks.

After rescuing her from Sur’Kesh, including a Cerberus attack, Shepard can speak to Eve on the Normandy. If you deleted Maelon’s research data in Mass Effect 2, you will notice Eve has a persistent cough when speaking to you. Whereas if you saved Maelon’s data, she will seem relatively healthy, given the circumstances.

Once you reach the Shroud facility Mordin will let you know Eve’s fate. If you saved Maelon’s research data in Mass Effect, Eve will survive. At the end of the mission, you will get to speak to Eve one last time before departing Tuchanka. She will head to the Kelphic Valley to rally more Krogan support for Shepard’s fleet, boosting the Krogan Clans war asset from 250 to 300.

Even if Eve survived, after Priority: Tuchanka it is still possible for her to die, depending on your actions during a separate pair of side quests. Earlier in the game, Primarch Victus will request your help in rescuing a Turian platoon that was shot down on Tuchanka. The platoon was led by his son, Adrien Victus. When you meet Adrien, he will inform The Commander that his mission was to deactivate a bomb that the Turians buried on Tuchanka centuries early during the Krogan rebellions. The bomb was meant to act as a doomsday failsafe plan for the Turians, in case the Krogan attacked again. But now Cerberus is attempting to detonate the bomb to fracture the Krogan - Turian alliance.

Victus will ask The Commander to assist his team in deactivating the bomb, which gives you another mission - simply called Tuchanka: Bomb. This is a timed mission which must be completed within 3 missions of receiving it. Otherwise you will fail the mission and Cerberus will successfully detonate the bomb, devastating the Kelphic Valley region on Tuchanka. Eve will die during this bombing, if she didn’t already die at The Shroud.

If the Turian bomb goes off, you will receive a message about Eve’s death from the head of Clan Urdnot (either Wrex or Wreav). The Krogan Clans will be decimated, which is reflected by a 250 point reduction in their war asset score, effectively wiping them out.

If you decide to either complete Tuchanka: Bomb, or skip the initial Turian platoon rescue mission where you learn about the bomb, then it will not be detonated and Eve will survive for the rest of the game.

If the genophage was cured and Wrex is still alive, during the last conversation with Wrex on Earth, he will inform Shepard that Eve is pregnant with his children. Eve will also insist on naming the firstborn child after Mordin, if he sacrificed himself to cure the genophage.

Eve will also be featured prominently in the Extended Cut ending slides, which will be different based on a variety of factors, including which ending you choose, who is leading Clan Urdnot, and whether or not you cured the genophage.

I'm Commander Shapard, and this is my favorite YouTuber on YouTube

[WolfyFancyLads]

I love how Wreav is just "WE NEED BLOOD!", where Wrex is just "My people are dead... Damn.".

Wrex really has chilled and matured over time. :3

Can we just appreciate Dan for how many times he goes through the campaigns, doing things we wouldn’t even dream of doing and he does it all for us to show us how it would be. Honestly bro full respect for you, I love playing mass effect it’s my fav game series of all time and yet hell I don’t know how you end up doing 20 play throughs at the end of a day lmao 😂 you’re a god and I’m also so damn pleased to see mass effect still alive 👍 RESPECT ✊

[Badmunky]

Saying "I should go", followed by spinning in a circle for a moment was a constant joke my roommates in college would throw at each other whenever we left a room

[mastergamingandotherstuff]

I like how you give your Shepard’s so many different armour colours

[CesarACastillo]

I really loved Eve. It was a shame that I couldn't show that affection. Sheppard strikes me as a guy to offer a hug if he's more Paragon than Renegade when it's needed but it was never really included. Those that he did hug seemed to always be in an actual relationship with him.

This channel about explode with all the new mass effect players

[Hlios]

Shepard: I'm pissed off
When I'm pissed off I shoot things
Find me more bugs

[awashington]

Damn, she's never died on any of my didn't even know that scene existed 🤔

[DarKGameR]

It was always obvious that me must save Maelon's data in order to save Eve, plus I never skipped or missed anything 😁😁 Keep up the good work Dan 👍😁

[mobiusfenrir]

Don't think for a second we've forgotten her true name is Udrnot Bakara. The first time I heard that in Mass Effect 3, I was surprised! Of course, every time I played I made DAMN sure she survived. She was extremely valuable as a symbol of hope and unity for the krogan, and losing her is absolutely not an option. Who's with me?!

[lalalala_]

You explain everything so well and in such great detail. You deserve way more subs, I really enjoy your videos.

[Gwendesy]

I'm loving these videos, Dan! I've always done Paragon playthroughs, but in Legendary Edition I want to do Renegade. Keep pumping out the content!

[cypher]

Solid outro

" I should go" 👏

[hienapple]

This channel's video upload speed is so fast.

[incominghabanero]

I can’t believe how many videos you upload, no wonder you’re gaining so many subs

[GordonMassie]

I've been replaying Mass Effect 3 and when I saw your video I thought there was a way to save Eve that I missed, but it seems she can't be saved in the Wii U version. Although your videos have helped me save Ashley and I'm working on the Quarian/Geth alliance so they're a big help thanks. 😁

[Meowmeow.age.]

I like Mordin. Seeing him go was sad. I will make my next play through Mordin lives.

More fitting since I only go renegade 100%

[wilwong]

gotta say, you are very thorough. I played this game at least 15 times, and i have not found as much as you have

[stakeaphobicz]

My biggest gripe with the trilogy is you would have no idea about a lot of these alternatives unless specifically trying for them or being dumber than a box of rocks. You have to go out of your way to make bad decisions (for the most part)
