How to Keep Garrus Loyal in Mass Effect

▶

To keep Garrus loyal, it’s essential to understand that his loyalty is not solely dependent on the actions taken during his Loyalty Mission, but rather on the overall Paragon score and the choices made throughout the game, ensuring that he remains a trusted and valued member of the team. By maintaining a high Paragon score and making Paragon choices, particularly during his Loyalty Mission, Garrus will always be loyal, regardless of whether Sidonis is saved or not.
