How to Sleep with Javik in Mass Effect
To sleep with Javik in Mass Effect, you must not currently be in a romance with any other character and initiate the scene at the end of the Party in the Citadel DLC, which is exclusive to Female Shepards. This scene will play where Shepard wakes up with Javik in bed, but it’s considered a Joke Romance as it’s never referenced again and doesn’t change how Shepard and Javik feel about each other.
