If you talk to Wrex often enough between main/side missions, he will reveal a back-story about himself as to why he left his homeworld and you will get a quest to retrieve his family armor. It allows you to avoid Wrex's killing as long as you don't purposely go out of your way to gun him down :)

Well I didn't rush through the game and I always put points in intimidate as soon as it was available. I managed to talk him down despite not even doing his personal quest. Pretty ironic in the end since now I will be intentionally killing him for my final import.

I had to go out of my way to kill Wrex just to see what it was like. I'd never been to Virmire without doing his armour quest first, and after you do the armour quest Wrex will back down without any persuasion at all.



The one time I did get to Virmire with neither the persuasion skill nor his family armour, I realised how stupid that entire exchange is. You're never given the option to keep the genophage cure, even though it's effectively exactly the same choice as the one with the Rachni Queen. Either save the species, even though it might overrun the galaxy, or doom it to extinction. Why am I allowed to save one but not the other?

I don't know if this is true or not but a friend told me they were going to let Shepard decide about keeping the cure or not. However it was probably removed in the final build of the game. The only thing I can think off to justify not being given the option is the hurry in which Shepard was. Trying to save the cure could have gotten the Salarians wiped out and by the time they had retrieved it the facility would've probably been to well fortified to plant the bomb. However I wish they had kept that decision.

One my first play through I just wanted to complete it as quick as possible, I didnt get Wrex's family armour and I still saved him. I think you just need high charm/intimidate points.

On my first play tthrough Ash killed wrex as my charm wasnt high enough. When I play a game I never research it other than reviews, but not actual game play deatils or story outcomes. I knew there were other options but they werent available to me. So on my next playthroughs I made it my mission to explore those other options. I talked to wrex alot more as well as the other characters so on my second playthrough I talked him down and kept him. Wrex was actually one of the most interesting characters in the game to me.

I saved him the first time I ever played because I'd been using Charm a lot and I did Virmire last before Ilos on that play-through. I didn't even know that saving him was meant to be a difficulty until much later, and on that play-through I'd never heard of his quest to get his family armor.

I just got lucky the first time and did his quest beforehand. Later, I found out that was what saved him. I did kill him once just to see what would happen, but reloaded.

I would find the number of people killing him to be going out of there way. It's not often that people skip quests, especially character-specific ones. Unless you do Virmire as soon as it becomes available.. you pretty much have to meta-game if you want to "fail" or kill anyone off in either game.

Well, to be fair, you get the option of keeping the cure in ME2 instead. Also, you can totally save the Rachni Queen and decide to kill Wrex (I know, without the genophage cure decision it's not quite the same situation). Just because something is considered renegade or paragon doesn't mean you always have to play a pure renegade or paragon, though the amount of meta-gaming that goes into keeping your morality "balanced" is one heck of a headache.

I cheat. Because Paragon/Renegade is stupid.

I did Virmire last every time, I had plenty of charm/intimidate by then. And I already did his family armor quest.

Mass Effect is an RPG.

The first rule of RPG's is that if there is a speech skill, you max it.

Virmire always was last, even when I didn't know what's going on there. The other missions seem to have more of a time factor in their completion (role play wise).

Searching every planet before you go to Virmire makes saving Wrex pretty much a certainty, because in doing so you cannot fail to find his family armour, even if you never got him to tell you about it (I found it by accident myself).

Alternatively simply max the speech skills, one or the other at least, like Repzik said above maxing speech skills is generally a rule to follow in RPG's. Then it should be quite difficult to fail to save him.

Assuming you make Virmire your last stop before Ilos it should be that you have to go out of your way to fail to save him.

I killed him. I hated his character and always found him a nuisance. I only used him once, on the mission where you help him with his bounty (the first mission with him) and he killed the guy which I didn't want to happen. After that I left him until he died.

That's, like, the single best reason to have Wrex! If you're a paragon, you can take him to Fist, and he'll shoot Fist, and then you can roleplay it like you planned on arresting him and yell at Wrex about it, instead of having to make the unbelievably, stupidly inane "murder in cold blood or set completely loose without any care or consequence" choice that paragons usually get stuck with.

My order of doing things always involves doing ALL uncharted worlds and sidequests before I do any main quests. I think on my last playthrough, I was about level 33 before I even started Feros. Then I did Noveria, THEN Virmire (was approx level 44 or so and had full intimidate).

I generally save him. If you save Virmire as one of the last missions, persuasion should be high enough and/or you should have had an opportunity to do Wrex's personal quest.

On my first playthrough i inadvertantly did everything and got his armor on that one mission without knowing it. I was opening the chest that had his family armor and was like wtf when i got nothing so i just left. I didnt have wrex with me at the time so no xtra dialogue came up and i only found out about it later when i had a little chat with him and looked up online to see wtf he was talkin about lol

If you chose not to recruit Garrus, then I'm fairly sure that you can still talk Wrex down through normal dialogue even if you didn;t get his family armor for him.

You need to not have Liara as well.


Not sure how Liara figures into this. Liara is almost always in my group once I rescue her. Never had a problem with Wrex surviving our little "talk" on Virmire.

Because if you have Liara, you have enough members to fill your squad without Wrex.  Basically, if you only have the required recruits, Wrex will automatically back down.  Ash and Kaiden go with the bomb and salerians, leaving Wrex and Tali to fill out your squad.

It's not that early on, is it? It's at least halfway in to the game, if not more so. Personally, I always leave that planet for last, or at the very least second to last if I want to torment Liara (which I rarely do). By then, I usually have either paragon or renegade maxed, and having full persuade and intimidate is pretty simple by then.


It can be, if you do Noveria the Council then gives it to you, you potientally have the chance to do it that early, though I personally think thats a BAD idea. But to each there own.
