Kaidan Alenko - preliminary requirements and key aspects of this romance
- For obvious reasons, you can have an affair with Kaidan only if he didn't die in the first part of the series (this may have occurred during the Virmire mission).
- Whether you had an affair with Kaidan in Mass Effect 1 or not has no impact on establishing a new relationship with him in a new campaign in ME3.
How to establish and develop a romance
You will meet Kaidan during the prologue. However, you will go on your first mission together after reaching the facility located on Mars - this is the main mission called Priority: Mars. Even at the beginning it's worth starting to build the relationship, in a non-aggressive manner, and by cutting off any connection to Cerberus.
Kaidan will be seriously injured at the end of the Mars mission. He will be transported to the Citadel clinic. We recommend to immediately pay him a visit (screenshot above) and also buy him a gift at the local Sirta store beforehand.
Once again, it would be wise to visit Kaidan after the main task in Palaven has been completed. Wish him a fast recovery and comment on the news of his just received offer of becoming a Spectre in a positive way.
Then wait for the moment when you receive a message from Kaidan titled Spectre Status confirmed. Then, visit him for the last time in the Citadel clinic. You can pre-invite Kaidan to Normandy at this point. It is worth adding that during one of the visits to the clinic Kaidan can mention the topic of former relationships of the main character. However, it will not bury the chances of starting a relationship with him.
The next encounter with Kaidan will occur only at the end of the main task related to repelling Cerberus' attack on the Citadel. The important moment is the confrontation with Udina and Kaidan. You have to be careful, that is, don't shoot Kaidan and don't make him dislike you. Try to convince him of your innocence.
When you try to return to Normandy, you will come across Kaidan once again (screenshot above) and the key to further development of events is to officially invite him to become a team member. It's impossible in the later part of the game.
Finale of romance with Kaidan
Since Kaidan joined the Normandy crew (and the main crew) you can start the process of building a positive relationship with him for good. We recommend to meet with him in Normandy in order to have a longer conversation (screenshot above). Besides, keep an eye out for Kaidan when he returns to the Citadel.
The finale of building a relationship with Kaidan will occur during one of the visits on the Citadel. Namely, when you'll meet him at the Apollo cafe in the Presidium area. Initiate a conversation and conduct it properly, confirming the desire to enter into a more serious relationship what should be rewarded with a kiss.
To spend a night with Kaidan you can count on shortly before you take part in the mission to attack the headquarters of Cerberus. The last conversation with him will occur during the final stage in London.
