The last character you recruit to your team in Mass Effect Legendary Edition is Liara T'Soni, a scientist working in the Artemis Tau sector.

She is involved in excavating the remains of the Protheans, trying to uncover new secrets of the ancient race. Unfortunately, she has become a target of the geth. Your task is to find her in this sector and save her from all enemies.

In this guide, we will tell you how to save Liara in Mass Effect Legendary Edition and bring her on board the ship. Let's get started!

How to Find Liara T'Soni in Mass Effect

How and Where to Find the Artemis Tau Sector

The location of Liara's excavation site is in the Artemis Tau sector. The journal doesn't provide you with the exact planet, but you can find it in the Knossos system on Therum.

Where and How to Find the Prothean Ruins

When you land on Therum, the Prothean ruins will be on the opposite side of the canyon. Fortunately, traversing the planet is the main objective, but the geth arrived before you, so be prepared for a battle using your Mako transport.

Just before you reach the refinery, a pair of geth will land in a dropship in front of you. You will need to eliminate these two before approaching the refinery.

However, several turrets block the path, and your squadmates suggest an alternate route where you can bypass the turrets by taking your Mako to the right side. When you take the correct route, there will be only one turret instead of three.

Once you reach the refinery, the area will be infested with various geth. You can either destroy them from the seat of your Mako or get out and engage them on foot. By leaving the Mako and fighting enemies within cover, you gain more experience points.

Once you clear the area of all geth outside the complex, you need to enter the facility and find a terminal to open the gates blocking your progress. It will be in the building on the left side, guarded by a small number of geth. After using the terminal, you can return to your Mako and continue forward.

In this part of the mission, the path will be linear, with a large number of geth and battles awaiting you. When you reach the very end of the map, a small area will open up, and you will have to leave the Mako behind. From here on, it's only on-foot exploration and a significant number of enemies to defeat.

How to Save Liara

Now that a large number of geth have been eliminated, you can enter the excavation site and retrieve Liara. There are still geth inside, but not as many as outside. When you reach the first area, descend on the elevator and eliminate the trio of geth drones waiting for you.

When you descend on the second elevator, it will malfunction. When you fall, you can safely step onto the broken platform. Follow this path, and you will find Liara. She used a Prothean security device to protect herself from the geth attack but is now trapped. You must find a way to bypass the barrier to help her.

How to Bypass the Barrier

You can disable the barrier using the device behind you. Turn around and defeat the geth guarding the device. After defeating the geth, you won't have to go too far. Right below the stairs, there is a terminal where you can access the Mining Laser Controls and activate it. You will need to enter a sequence for the override.

Here is the correct sequence:

Down
Leave
Correct
Up
Leave

After the final battle with enemies, you will be able to bring Liara on board your ship, and she will join your team.
