Last update: 29 October 2022
This page of the Mass Effect 3 game guide contains the walkthrough for the minor side quest Hades Nexus - Obelisk of Karza. This walkthrough explains, among other things, where to eavesdrop on the researcher's conversation and on which planet you can find the eponymous Obelisk of Karza.
Received from: Researcher [Citadel: Presidium Commons]
Unlocked by: You will be able to start this mission after completing Priority: The Citadel #2 main quest.
Locate a human researcher during one of your visits to the Citadel. He can be found in the courtyard in [Citadel: Presidium Commons] and you must overhear his conversation. The researcher will want an Obelisk of Karza from Hades Nexus since it can be helpful in building the Crucible.
Return to the Normandy, open the galaxy map and plan a trip to Hades Nexus (this area of the galaxy is unlocked after completing Priority: Rannoch main quest). Once you're there (Hekate system) fly to an adjacent system named Hoplos. Begin scanning this system (right mouse button), but be careful as therefore you can draw the Reapers' attention. Your point of interest should be a planet named Kopis (screen above).
Hover over the planet, zoom in and start scanning its surface more precisely by holding down the right mouse button. You need to find a white dot and send a probe (left mouse button). Doing this will allow you to obtain [Obelisk of Karza]. Once you have the obelisk return to [Citadel: Presidium Commons] and give it to the researcher.
Notice - If you have found the obelisk before starting this mission, you will be able to complete it right after it becomes unlocked, as a once found artifact cannot be lost.
Prizes for completing the mission:
- [15000 credits]
- War asset [Alliance Engineering Corps]
