(one of 2) You can cull to either gratis,

Yous tin can choose to either free, (left), or impale the Rachni Queen. (right)

Choice: Impale or Spare the Rachni Queen

Defeat Matriarch Benezia and you'll have to make a phone call regarding the fruits of her labors - what to practice virtually the gummy, pestilential, galaxy-threatening monstrosity Benezia reared? No, not Liara - the Rachni Queen. The critter will make excuses for why her children were and then hostile, but she'll as well brand the error of reanimating the corpse of an Asari to employ as her diplomatic proxy. Not a good look.

The Rachni Queen insists she intends to foster peaceful coexistence, just it's worth remembering the threat the Rachni posed when they were gratuitous in the distant past. This time, the Council doesn't take an unlimited supply of Krogan to throw at the Rachni. You can either kill or spare (and free) the Rachni Queen.

Consequences

This 1'southward a scrap of a downer. If you were worried most containing the Rachni, you can safely ignore that - they'll exist around in later games no matter what you do here.

Regardless of whether you spared or killed the Rachni Queen, you'll be reminded of your deeds in Mass Effect 2, albeit adequately inconsequentially. If you killed the Rachni Queen, yous'll overhear a news report mentioning it. If you lot spared her, the Rachni Queen will transport an asari thrall to thank you on Illium, promising - albeit cryptically - assistance in the future.

Only in Mass Effect 3 does your decision truly bear fruit. Whether you killed or spared the Rachni Queen you'll have to deal with a Rachni hive, although in the onetime case the new Rachni Queen is a clone, and in the latter example it'south the very aforementioned specimen yous freed on Noveria. If you're dealing with the 18-carat Rachni Queen, y'all can spare her once again and she'll faithfully serve you lot, becoming a State of war Asset. If it's the clone… well, let's only say the clone's loyalty leaves something to be desired.
