How to unlock the Paragon achievement in Mass Effect - Definitive Guide

Since no one has added this other quick option I figured I might as well add it.

Go to Noveria, play through til you get to a part where you have to break into a Turian's (Lorik Qui'in's) office to get some data. Once you have the data you will be approached by Anoleis's assistant and she will ask you to get Qui'in to testify. Speak to him and tell him to testify, make sure you already have enough paragon as well as charm points to select the paragon option. Selecting it will net you around +24paragon points.

After he agrees speak with him again and ask him about Benezia, after his reply choose to ask him another question. The ability to ask him to testify will appear again and choose the paragon option for another +24 paragon points. Then just rinse and repeat til the achievement pops.

*Note* This can also be done for the renegade achievement, just make sure you have enough renegade and intimidate points to be able to select the renegade option for +25 renegade points each time.

Awesome guide! Thank you! I'm still ganna use it for my other playthroughs so I can pick any Paragon/Renegade option right away.

To speed things up:
1.) After talking to him and repeating the glitch after he keeps talking talk to one of your team mates real quick so you can talk to him right away.
2.) Otherwise he keeps talking wasting more time.

Gotta say I was getting 100+ Paragon and Renegade points at times. Thank you! +1

@weredog - yeah most of the code for the game is basically the same, so kinda figured would still work with the backwards compatibility.

The easiest way to get this, is on the UNC: Lost Module mission. Be sure not to harm any of the monkeys, then search each monkey colonie and every monkey you see.
At the end you will enter a mine and at the bottom you can search a monkey who has the module.

Tap the "a" button to search and then, SAVE your game, and RELOAD the save you just made. You can now search that monkey over and over again, just keep tapping the "a" button untill you got enough paragon points. (you'll see the achievement popping up)

Every time you tap that button you get 6 paragon points... :-)

I never really believed that this would work but it did! Very underrated solution! But I think you should consider specifying exactly where the information about the glitch is located-

Easiest way of getting this achievement is to just play through the game and continuously use the upper right hand side conversation choice, and always minimise the number of people you have to kill. Also buff up your charm ability so that it is easier to get out of tricky situations.

Also, it's probably worth noting that the charm option is often on the upper *left* and in blue. Those are the options that require sufficient charm to be active.

Several of the assignments require particular levels of charm to be able to take the best choice, so if you want to be sure that you get this, it's best to read a walkthrough summary of the requirements (thus avoiding having to restore from saves, since some of the conversations aren't repeatable). The one I used is:

There is a neat little trick to speed this up quite a bit.



For the Charm option to be available during this conversation you will need to spend 5 points on the skill.

On Noveria, when you are given the oppurtunity to accept the assignment from Lorik Qui'in to get the evidence to catch the Salarian (Anoleis, the administrator guy who has his own office) in his rend-based scandal, agree to it. He will open up the shut-down elevator, go down there and get the evidence. Upon exiting to go back to him you will run into Gianna (receptionist lady), so talk to her then go meet her in the hotel/bar. She will ask you to get him to agree into turning Anoleis in, agree and go talk to Lorik Qui'in. Talk to him, and do the following:

Step 1:

  • (Top Right) Testify against Anoleis
  • (Top Left) {Paragon} You'd be a hero
  • OR
  • (Bottom Left) {Renegade} Damn right I will

Step 2:

  • Talk to him again
  • (Left) Matriarch Benezia
  • (Bottom Right) Another Question
  • *Repeat step 1*

Repeat these two steps for whichever one you want until the achievement unlocks, then switch to the other for that achievement. Remember to do whichever way you DON'T want your character to be first so when you finish with the second achievement, you are high in either Paragon or Renegade, depending on your preference.
