Ashley Williams 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 Ashley Williams. In our walkthrough we explain where the hospital is located, when you should visit Ashley and how to unlock Ashley as a team member one more time.
Notice! This mission doesn't appear in Shepard's journal! If Kaidan Alenko was your partner in the early parts of the game, then you should read the description of the quest titled Citadel: Kaidan Alenko.
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 Ashley as soon as you've arrived on the Citadel for the first time and she 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. Ashley's room is the first one to the right. It's worth knowing that before you visit Ashley you can find out about her condition from doctor Chakwas and doctor Michel. You may also purchase a gift for her 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 Ashley (private terminal) from which you'll find out that Udina wants her to become a Spectre. It would be good to grant Ashley's wish and to visit her again in the clinic in [Citadel: Huerta Memorial Hospital] in order to give her advice about the proposal and to wish her a swift return to full health.
You should receive the next message from Ashley (private terminal) not long after the previous meeting. Just as before, you must travel to the Citadel in order to talk to her in [Citadel: Huerta Memorial Hospital]. Congratulate Ashley on receiving a Spectre status. You should also inquire if she 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 Ashley during the cut-scene with ambassador Udina, then you will meet her while trying to return to the Normandy and you will be presented with a choice. You can allow Ashley to join admiral Hackett's team (she will become a war asset) or you can ask her to return to the Normandy as a crew member.
Prizes for completing the mission:
- New party member (rejoined): Ashley Williams (only if she was asked to return)
- War asset [Ashley Williams] (only if she joined admiral Hackett's team)
