Mass Effect: Keeper Citadel Locations Full List
By Jack O'Dwyer
Here is the full list of locations for Citadel Keepers for Chorban's scanning side quest in Mass Effect.
Players have the option to pick up this quest in the Citadel Tower directly following their first hearing with the Council regarding Saren. Following the meeting adjournment, upon departing down the stairs, Chief Ashley Williams will make a comment about a suspicious-looking salarian over near one of the Keepers. Indeed, there is one, standing only a few feet before them and kneeling down near the creature's side.
When approached, the salarian—Chorban—will attempt to play off his activities. It's up to the player whether Shepard presses them and consequentially offers to help him scan the Keepers.
Otherwise, Shepard can find him in the lower Wards Markets after speaking with Jahleed.
Mass Effect: Keeper Citadel Locations
There are 21 Keepers to scan in total and they are spread all throughout the station. Players will know a Keeper based on their insectoid, multi-legged appearance and pale-green coloring. According to Chorban, the Keepers have been around and taking care of the Citadel for centuries yet no one has ever been able to learn about them. Collecting samples from them or otherwise incapacitating them only causes them to shut down.
This is what makes Shepard's work so important.
