I spent around 5 hours spread in 4-5 days to make this work, and i hope this info might help someone who got cought desperately as i did More on that later. Also check the bottom of the post for some PlotID bool values to use with Gibbed save editor for those who are desperate.

To save Miranda, you MUST read the dossier on Kai Leng and meet her via a holochannel from the Specter terminal after the attack on the citadel. During the mission, she may also die if you do not persuade her father to back down. If that fails, you have to shoot him. If Miranda shoots her father, then she be fatally shot in return and die.

Mass Effect 3 How To Keep Miranda Alive
  1. No spoilers ME3 Should I keep Miranda alive? HELP I'm playing Mass Effect 2 currently as a near perfect Paragon, but obviously I want to be very anti-Cerberus, so I'm considering not doing Miranda's loyalty mission and having her be dead when I play Mass Effect 3 for the first time.
  2. First off, you need to get all of the Normandy's upgrades from asking squad members about them. You need Thanix cannons from Garrus, Multicore shielding from Tali, and Heavy ship armor from Jacob.
Here are the things you have to do to make her live in the end of Horizon Sanctuary mission:
  • Make her fully loyal in ME2. edit It is reported that you do not have to make her fully loyal, but you must complete her loyality mission.
  • Make her survive Suicidal Mission (obviously).
  • If you romanced her at any point, do not break up with her. edit It is reported that you can break up with her in ME2, just not in ME3. It is also rumored that you can break up with her in the hotel room (meeting 3) but you cant do that during first meeting - this will kill her definitely.
  • Meet her at the Docs in the Citadel BEFORE Cerebrus attack on the Citadel. Talk to her nicely and ask how you might help.
  • Read Kai Leng dossier on your (or Shadow Brokers, not sure wich) terminal after you encounter him before talking to MIranda again. edit reported as unnecessary.
  • Talk to Miranda through Spectre terminal on Citadel, and warn her about Kai Leng (make sure she responds with 'I will make myself ready' or something)
  • Meet her on the Citadel later, and when asked for Alliance resources for some operation, give them to her.
  • At the end of the Horizon, use Paragon/Renegade option while talking to her father.
This should keep her alive. If you miss any of the above mentioned, she dies. I did miss the first meeting at the Docs, and was stuck with her dead. So i did some research for my situation and while helping some people. Here are some Plot IDs you might find helping.
1. First meeting in the Citadel with positive outcome (ask her about her situation and promise to help).
