Prologue: joining cerberus, act 1: putting together your team, act 2 – part 1: finishing recruitment, act 2 – part 2: gaining loyalty, act 3: endgame.

For the most part, Mass Effect 2 is a linear RPG. However, the game does give you some freedom when it comes to mission order. Each act of the adventure has an abundance of quests to take on, and it doesn't matter which you do first or which you save for later.

Mass Effect 2: All Upgrade Locations

Find out how to find all the upgrades for The Normandy and Shepard including your omni tools, shields, weapons, and even your squadmates.

Yet, playing each mission in a specific order can improve a playthrough in various ways. For instance, if you complete quests in the optimal sequence, you lower the risk of losing characters by the end of the game. Plus, your narrative experience can be enhanced simply by doing certain missions at certain times. So, here is the order in which you should complete all of the main content.

Updated January 26, 2024 By Ben Jessey: You can play most of the Mass Effect 2 missions in any order you want. However, there is an optimal order that improves the narrative experience and keeps characters alive. We laid out that optimal order in this guide. And now, we've returned to the piece to make sure it's still accurate and easy to read.

During Mass Effect 2's prologue, you have no control over which missions you play . The sequence of events includes an attack on the Normandy, Shepard joining Cerberus, and a visit to Freedom's Progress.

The lack of freedom in the opening stages makes sense as the game slowly introduces you to its mechanics and sets up the story.

Mission Order:

Things start to open up once the prologue ends as the Illusive Man gives you multiple recruitment missions to do at your leisure . You also have a few other quests to keep you busy.

Optimal Mission Order:

After the Horizon quest, the Illusive Man points you toward three more people you should recruit. Plus, this is when loyalty missions start appearing, so make sure you're regularly talking to your teammates.

For the first part of this act, you can only do five quests before triggering the next Collector assignment.

You have plenty of freedom in the wake of the Collector Ship investigation as the game doesn't force you to start the next mission. In fact, you want to avoid initiating the Reaper IFF quest for quite some time .

Instead, the second part of Act 2 is about getting almost all of the loyalty missions done . And these quests are crucial because they help you keep everyone alive during the Suicide Mission .

Mass Effect 2: Should You Save The City Or The Spaceport?

In the quest N7: Javelin Missiles Launched, Shepard needs to make a tough choice: save the city or the spaceport?

Act 3 serves as the endgame , and it doesn't allow much time for side content. So, make sure that you've done everything before starting these quests .

Can I safely complete all assignments after the final mission?

I'm currently working on my second playthrough of Mass Effect 2. In the first, I skipped the N7 and DLC assignments because I wanted to save them for my completionist playthrough (this one). I'm currently planning on doing them after I finish the final mission, however, I want to make sure that I'm not going to end up with any of them locked out or blocked because of changing circumstances after you finish the main story.

If I decide to wait to complete these assignments until after the going through the Omega 4 Relay and beating the final boss, will I still be able to complete them all?

• mass-effect-2

• Based on the current answer (but contrary to its conclusion), I assume if you make the right decisions on the other side of the Omega 4 Relay there's nothing that would prevent you from finishing up the DLC assignments...but I'm not positive. –  Tim Stone Commented Mar 2, 2012 at 13:44
• 1 For a completionist run, I would recommend doing all side missions before going after the Reaper IFF, since at that point you can delay the main story indefinitely without any consequences. –  hammar Commented Mar 3, 2012 at 2:16

There is a possibility of locking yourself out of some things here:

If you somehow do not survive the suicide attack, your game will end after the final mission, so you will not be able to complete anything else after that. If you did not do the loyalty missions of a few followers and they die on the suicide mission, then you will not be able to finish their quests afterwards. If you somehow ran out of money and can't buy fuel, you won't be able to visit sectors not containing a mass relay.

Other than that, after the suicide mission you will be placed back in your ship and have the chance to explore and do whatever you want. Some DLCs, such as the Shadowbroker, actually makes more sense to complete after the suicide mission since the dialog is geared towards that.

• But Shadow Broker can be so useful before the suicide mission (namely resource rich planets and shipments). –  MBraedley Commented Mar 2, 2012 at 15:55
• @MBraedley Having indulged in my OCD tendencies during my latest ME2 playthrough, I can say with certainty that the Shadow Broker planet resources are absolutely unnecessary and probably not even particularly helpful. I depleted every planet in the game and after all upgrades, had ~1 million of every resource except Element Zero, which was at ~200k. –  Sterno Commented Mar 2, 2012 at 17:39
• @Sterno: Yes, but some of us don't have such extreme OCD and actually want to get on with the story and not spend endless hours playing a mini-game that isn't really all that fun. –  MBraedley Commented Mar 2, 2012 at 20:53
• @MBraedley I agree, and I hope no one else does what I did! My point was really just that the galaxy has an overabundance of resources, even before the DLC. –  Sterno Commented Mar 2, 2012 at 21:02
• 2 The dialog in the Shadow Broker DLC changes slightly if you play it before or after the final mission. Very nice touch. –  Adeese Commented Mar 2, 2012 at 22:31

How Baldur's Gate 3 Finally Taught Me To Use All My Spells

Black myth: wukong devs share how to fix technical issues, is starfield: shattered space free dlc cost explained.

The galaxy can be a massive, sometimes overwhelming place, and exploring it in Mass Effect 2 can be an overwhelming undertaking. Securing squadmate loyalty is a major focus of Mass Effect 2 , particularly prior to the endgame Suicide Mission, where characters' survival depends on the player's choices. With 12 total squadmates, including DLC characters, players will need to make time and plan to complete 12 loyalty missions. Many loyalty missions rely on Shepard's Paragon or Renegade score, which is based on the player's moral choices during the game. It will be in a player's best interest to save the loyalty missions that require demanding Paragon/Renegade checks until they near the end of the main story. With Mass Effect: Legendary Edition launching later this year , returning fans and newcomers alike may find themselves wondering when to complete the various main story and side missions for optimal results.

Related:  Mass Effect 2: How to Unlock The Secret Bonus Power

While there is no single right way to explore and complete missions in Mass Effect 2 , fans generally agree that there are some missions best saved for late-game to ensure the player has as many options and available outcomes as possible when it counts. Additionally, there are times in the game where a main mission will cut in and cannot be skipped or put off, or where a player will cross a point of no return. At these times, having a plan can position players for success. Here's an optimal way to complete missions in Mass Effect 2 .

Optimal Mission Order for Mass Effect 2

The optimal mission order for Mass Effect 2 ensures players can earn enough Paragon or Renegade points to access all possible Charm/Intimidate conversation options and outcomes and keep and maintain squad loyalty. Ultimately, the goal is to keep everyone alive during the Suicide Mission . It also ensures Shepard can gain access to key areas, like the Tech Lab aboard the Normandy, or find important weapons and upgrades.

Depending on Shepard's class and the selected difficulty setting, different mission orders may produce more desirable outcomes. Generally, however, fans point to this structure as having the most advantages for the greatest number of play styles.

Players should remember to scan planets in the systems they visit for resources any time they enter a new location. In doing so, they may discover anomalies. These are optional side missions that award credits, resources, experience, and sometimes upgrades, but none have any effect on the main story or the outcome of Mass Effect 3 . Players are free to complete these whenever and wherever they wish.

The Prologue is mandatory, and players will not have a choice about what to do or where to go until it has been completed and Shepard is aboard the Normandy SR-2.

• Prologue: Save Joker
• Prologue: Awakening (following character creation)
• Freedom's Progress
• Normandy SR-2 -  Meet the new Crew, get comfortable with the ship, and pick up side missions from Sergeant Gardener, Dr. Chakwas, and engineers Ken and Gabby.

There are two ways to approach the start of Act One. Players can either start on the Citadel or Omega. Both are hubs with good weapons, armor, and upgrades to purchase, and players can recruit squadmates, including the DLC characters , at each location. Ultimately, players will find there are more missions on Omega than the Citadel, but the order of these can be switched at any time.

• Dossier: The Veteran (Zaeed) - Players will immediately find Zaeed upon leaving the Normandy SR-2 and finding out Aria wants to speak with them.
• Omega: Aria T'Loak -  Players can unlock an optional side mission, Omega: The Patriarch , by talking to Grizz. They can also find the Serrice Ice Brandy at the Afterlife bar for Dr. Chakwas. In the Market District, they will find the FBA Couplings at Kenn's Salvage.
• Dossier: The Professor (Mordin) - Unlocks the Tech Lab on the Normandy and allows players to begin making upgrades to weapons, armor, and the ship. Players should speak to every squadmate about Normandy Upgrades and make all Ship Upgrades prior to the run to the Collector base.
• Dossier: Archangel (Garrus) - Make sure to bring the datapad info back to Aria for a reward.
• Investigate the Normandy Crash Site
• Project Firewalker -  There are 5 separate assignments to this mission. Players can start with Project Firewalker: Rosalie Lost here and choose whether to complete the rest now or later in the game.
• Dossier: The Thief (Kasumi) -  Players will find Kasumi immediately upon arrival at the Citadel. After this, they should head to the Presidium to meet with Anderson. They can find special ingredients for Sergeant Gardener and Serrice Ice Brandy for Dr. Chakwas at shops in the Wards.
• Kasumi: Stealing Memory
• Dossier: The Warlord (Grunt)
• Dossier: The Convict (Jack)
• Horizon -  Horizon is a mandatory mission that will trigger as soon as players complete the final dossier in this set. The four dossier missions (excluding Zaeed and Kasumi) are not optional.

Following the Horizon mission, players should begin speaking to their squadmates each time they disembark and then return to the Normandy. Yeoman Chambers will let Shepard know a specific squadmate wants to talk to them, which lets players know the loyalty mission has triggered. Players only get five missions between Horizon and the Collector Ship , so it is best to prioritize loyalty or recruitment missions. It's important to note that smaller fetch quests, including planet scanning for resources and Liara's quests on Illium, should not trigger the Collector Ship and are safe to complete. Investigating anomalies do count toward the five missions, however.

Players only need to complete two of the remaining dossier missions, so they can skip recruiting Tali, Samara, or Thane if they prefer.

• Dossier: Tali (Tali) - Players should try to keep Kal'Reeger alive by convincing him to stand down.
• Dossier: The Justicar (Samara) - Prior to this mission, players should make sure to find Liara and speak to her, as she has information about both Samara and Thane. Shepard can choose to help Liara with a few optional missions but should not choose the dialogue option to begin Lair of the Shadow Broker yet.
• Dossier: The Assassin (Thane) - Bring the datapad found on this mission back to the frazzled salarian for a reward.
• Grunt: Rite of Passage 
• Mordin: Old Blood
• Collector Ship -  The Collector Ship is a mandatory mission that will trigger five missions, including anomaly investigation missions, following Horizon .

During Act Three, players should take their time to finish all loyalty missions and any side missions they want to do before the endgame. They should not start the Reaper IFF mission until they have completed everything else, as this starts a timer that only allows room for completion of Legion's loyalty mission if players wish to save all members of the Normandy SR-2 crew. Players should save Lair of the Shadowbroker and Arrival until after the Suicide Mission for the most seamless transition to Mass Effect 3 .

Players should note that it is possible to fail Thane's, Samara's, Tali's, and Zaeed's loyalty mission. They will need to follow their teammates' instructions and sometimes will need to pass a demanding Paragon/Renegade check to succeed and secure loyalty.

• Miranda: The Prodigal -  While back on Illium, players can finish any smaller missions they may have missed, including Liara's requests.
• Jacob: The Gift of Greatness
• Garrus: Eye for an Eye
• Thane: Sins of the Father
• Jack: Subject Zero -  Following this mission, Jack and Miranda will fight. Shepard needs to use the Charm/Intimidate dialogue option to break up the fight. Choosing sides will result in the loss of loyalty from one of the two women.
• Samara: The Ardat-Yakshi
• Tali: Treason
• Zaeed: The Price of Revenge
• Overlord DLC

At this point, players need to be certain they have met the following conditions:

• All squadmates loyal
• Researched Normandy armor, weapons, and shields upgrades (from Jacob, Garrus, and Tali respectively)
• Completed all desired side missions
• Purchased all desired equipment
• Exhausted all dialogue options with squadmates
• Made all desired weapons/armor upgrades

They can then proceed to the endgame.

Once players retrieve the Reaper IFF, they can only access the Galaxy Map once before the Collectors attack the Normandy. Following this attack, if they complete other missions ahead of going through the Omega-4 relay, they will lose crew members.

• Reaper IFF -  Following this mission, players must decide what to do with Legion. They can either sell it or activate and recruit it. If they choose to recruit it, they will need to talk to it twice to unlock its loyalty mission.
• Legion: A House Divided -  Following this mission, Legion and Tali will fight. Shepard needs to use the Charm/Intimidate dialogue option to break up the argument. Choosing sides will result in the loss of loyalty from the unsupported squadmate.
• Collector Attack -  This small mission is mandatory. Players will control Joker and will need to follow EDI's instructions.
• The Suicide Mission (Stop The Collectors & Collector Base )
• Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC
• Arrival DLC

It's important to note not every player will want to complete the main story of Mass Effect 2  the same way, and there is no wrong way to order missions. For example, if a player intends to romance Garrus Vakarian , they may enjoy the story more if they can start with  Dossier: Archangel , even ahead of Dossier: The Professor . As another example, if players have a strong moral direction for their Shepard, once they hear about a dire situation, such as Thane's son's assassination attempt or Tali's hearing, they may choose to complete those missions sooner, as their Shepard might choose to act fast despite possible ramifications. Ultimately, players can shift missions around to make the most sense for their story and desired outcomes.

Mass Effect 2 Point of No Return: what mission you should finish all your quests before starting

Mass Effect 2  has an open-ended narrative that lets you take on most of its main story quests in any order you like - and while you're at it, the game is constantly throwing a slew of side content at you. That naturally presents a classic worrying dilemma - that of finding the  point of no return , the point at which the story takes that freedom off you and carries you along towards the end.

We've put together a separate page to answer the larger question of the optimum Mass Effect 2 mission order for the main and DLC quests, but beyond that, if you're going your own way, you should absolutely know about the point of no return. ME2 has a couple of them - and in a way how hard and important each point of no return is depends on what sort of Shepard you're playing .

Mass Effect 2 Point of No Return explained

The structure of Mass Effect 2 is an hourglass shape, repeated. You start out on a single path, then can branch out to a number of missions - then after all those missions are handled, it shrinks back to a single line again - before fanning back out. That means there's a few points at which control is wrested from you.

The important thing to note is that  no missions in ME2 disappear if left unfinished for a time . You can let missions linger for as long as you like, and even revisit them in the new game plus mode. However, if you're aiming to get the best possible ending of the game, one point of no return strongly influences ME2's finale .

Anyway - here's all the times that Mass Effect 2 takes control off you, and what you need to know about them as Points of No Return:

• After getting the Normandy, you will be gradually given 4 standard character recruitment Dossiers (The Professor, Archangel, The Convict & The Warlord) and 2 DLC character recruitment Dossiers (The Master Thief & The Veteran). You can do these in any order you like, but after the 4th of the standard dossier missions is completed, you will be forced to undertake a story mission on Horizon.
• After the events on Horizon, you'll be set loose on the galaxy again. After completing 5 main missions, you will again be forced to undertake a specific story mission on the Collector Ship.
• After your visit to the Collector Ship, you are again set loose to complete any missions you like, including loyalty missions. Eventually, you will open up the option of the Acquire Reaper IFF mission. Starting the Acquire Reaper IFF mission is the 'soft' point of no return in ME2 .
• The absolute final point of no return of ME2 is when you travel through the Omega 4 Relay. This will begin a sequence of events that leads to the credits, though you will also get a post-game save where you can mop up any remaining quests. 

Acquire Reaper IFF as a point of no return

The reason why we say the  Acquire Reaper IFF  mission is a 'soft' point of no return is because once you start this mission, a clock begins ticking. Specifically, after you acquire the Reaper IFF, you will have the time to complete exactly one mission before a major story event takes place that is designed to force you to travel through the Omega 4 Relay and initiate the end of the game.

If you delay and complete more than one mission after getting the Reaper IFF, you will not be able to get the absolute best ending of ME2. This is all explained in more detail, with more spoilers, in our Mass Effect 2 Suicide Mission & endings guide .

So, we recommend you treat the Reaper IFF as your ME2 Point of No Return. Endeavor to complete every side quest and especially complete every ME2 loyalty mission , plus buy any upgrades or weapons you need before starting and completing the Reaper IFF mission , and you'll have the best chance at the end of the game. The only exception to this might be the Lair of the Shadow Broker (Give Liara Intel) and Arrival DLC missions - which arguably work better if you save them for the post-game. Good luck!

Forum : Mass Effect 2 Optimal Mission Order

At first I found it difficult to complete all missions Mass Effect 2 Missions and at the same time finding a good sequence for the overall Mass Effect story. That is why I put together my own order. I have based the order of the mission on how I think they do most justice toe the overall Mass Effect story. I want to make clear once again it is my own order.

I want to mention that there are spoilers.

And please try not to pay attention to my writing if there are errors, English is my second language.

Mandatory Missions [ ]

Normandy SR-1. Following this the character creation process will begin.

Lazarus Project. You’ll be introduced to the game’s updated combat mechanics.

Freedom’s Progress. At the conclusion you will make a decision regarding a quarian named Veetor. The Paragon option can potentially help you greatly in a much later mission. Something to consider.

Normandy SR-2. You’ll be introduced to your new Normandy and your new crew. Dr. Chakwas and Mess Sergeant Gardener on the Crew Deck and Ken and Gabby on the Engineering Deck all have little side missions for you.

My Mission Order [ ]

First talk to Kelly Chambers, your new Yeoman, and make it a habit to talk to her after every mission. You’ll have some opportunities to flirt with her (either gender). Do it enough and eventually you can go on a small date with her. This has two benefits. The first is that she will offer to feed your fish for you (assuming you’ve bought some). The second is that this date helps secure her appearance in ME3. Dating her does not grant the Paramour achievement and does not interfere with any active romances. Feel free to date her and romance anyone else you want.

Citadel - Visit the Citadel

Immediately upon arrival you can recruit Kasumi.

Take a cab to the Presidium to meet Anderson and maybe get your Spectre status back. Visit the stores to get some upgrades. Use Charm/Intimidate to get a discount. There are a few other side missions you complete here as well. Meet your old reporter “friend” Miss Al-Jilani. Either punch her (Renegade Interrupt) or use Charm/Intimidate. Also complete Dr. Chakwas and Gardener’s side missions.

Omega - Visit Omega

Immediately upon arrival you can recruit Zaeed. Speak to Aria to learn where to find the Professor and Archangel. Visit the shops and use Charm/Intimidate to get discounts. You can complete Ken and Gabby’s side mission here. Help the quarian deal with his debt to Harrot the Elcor in any way you see fit.

Recruit the Professor (Mordin) - Complete the mission to recruit Mordin.

Mineral Scanning/Side Missions With Mordin on your team the Tech Lab is now open. You can research upgrades for your weapons, armor and the Normandy. Speak to your squadmates about upgrades to get some for the Normandy. All research projects require mineral resources to complete. You get these from scanning planets. Talk to Miranda to get the Mineral Scanner upgrade to make it easier. Focus only on planets that are Rich in mineral resources. Send probes down only for large deposits of minerals. Don’t waste probes on the small ones.

Take this opportunity to do some planet scanning. You’ll need plenty of resources for your upgrades. And if you have the patience, try to have at least 100,000 of each resource in your inventory before you begin the Suicide Mission. This will have an impact on ME3.

While scanning planets you may encounter some anomalies. These unlock side missions on uncharted worlds. None of these have an impact on the overall game or in ME3 so feel free to complete as many or as few of them as you wish. A few of these missions offer some upgrades while others just offer money and experience.

Firewalker / Normandy SR1

If you have the Firewalker and/or Normandy Crash Site DLCs this would be a good opportunity to do them. They’re easy and offer good money and experience rewards.

Kasumi’s Loyalty Mission

Any non-Soldier players will definitely want to complete this mission early on. Doing so unlocks the Locust, the best SMG in the game. Sometimes I even like to complete it before recruiting Mordin. The mission’s final decision impacts some dialogue in ME3 but ultimately it does not matter which you choose.

Recruit Archangel (Garrus)

Complete the mission to recruit Garrus. During this mission you may find a datapad Aria would be very interested in. Give it to her after the mission is complete for a reward.

Recruit the Convict (Jack)

Complete this mission to recruit Jack.

Recruit the Warlord (Grunt)

After this mission is complete remember to head down to the cargo hold to officially recruit Grunt.

Horizon (Mandatory)

Automatically triggers after you finish all the current dossiers.

Back on the Normandy

Following Horizon your squadmates will start giving you their Loyalty Missions. Keep talking to all of them to unlock them. There is no time limit on any of them so it doesn’t matter what order you finish them all in.

Recruit Tali

Complete the mission to recruit Tali. Try to get the quarian Kal’Reegar out of this alive. Either use the Paragon Interrupt to convince him to stand down or destroy the Colossus as quickly as possible. This can help in a later mission.

Illium is a new hub with lots of new shops, missions and side missions. Speak to Liara for information regarding Samara and Thane. Offer to help Liara and complete her side mission. If you have Lair of the Shadow Broker downloaded you’ll likely see a dialogue option to begin the mission. DO NOT PICK IT YET!!! I think this mission best fits after the Suicide Mission. Plus there have been reports of glitches if you pick this option before getting info about Samara and Thane.

Depending on your choices in ME1 you may meet some familiar faces from Noveria and Feros and a mysterious asari messenger. Speak to them and help them. For your Noveria friend be sure to pick the Charm/Intimidate options with the merchant before completing the mission or you may miss out on the store’s discount.

In the bar you may find everyone’s favorite idiot fanboy, Conrad Verner. Agree to help him and use Charm/Intimidate options at every opportunity. Be sure to talk to the asari bartender when you get the chance as well.

Recruit the Justicar (Samara)

Complete this mission to recruit Samara.

Recruit the Assassin (Thane)

Complete this mission to recruit Thane. During this mission you may find a datapad a salarian back in the Illium hub area is looking for. Recover it and return it for some extra experience and credits. You get some interesting dialogue during this mission if you’ve dealt with Nassana Dantius in ME1.

Tuchanka - Head to Tuchanka

Tuchanka is the krogan homeworld Mordin and Grunt’s Loyalty Missions can be completed here. Before heading out speak to the merchant Ratch and complete his little minigame to get a discount at his store. It may be best to complete Mordin and Grunt’s missions in one go without leaving the planet.

Mordin’s Loyalty Mission

Complete this mission to earn Mordin’s loyalty. The final decision of this mission will play a major role in ME3.

Grunt’s Loyalty Mission

Complete this mission to earn Grunt’s loyalty. For the battle against the thresher maw you simply need to survive five minutes against it. However the reward will be greater if you kill it. After the mission speak to “the Lord High Researcher” for a discount at his store.

Collector Vessel (Mandatory)

Automatically starts after completing five missions after Horizon. During this mission you can receive some weapon training in Assault Rifles, Sniper Rifles or Shotguns. If your class cannot use any of these weapons then picking one of these will unlock these weapons for use with that class. If a class can use a particular weapon they instead unlock a very powerful version of it. For example, an Infiltrator can use Sniper Rifles but not Assault Rifles or Shotguns. Picking AR or Shotguns unlocks the ability to use them. Picking Sniper Rifles unlocks the Widow, the game’s most powerful Sniper Rifle.

Miranda’s Loyalty Mission

Complete this mission to earn Miranda’s loyalty. In the last area where the final boss fight is check a crate near the exit. You will find a locket there that an asari in the Illium hub area is looking for.

Jacob’s Loyalty Mission

Complete this mission to earn Jacob’s loyalty.

Garrus’s Loyalty Mission

Complete this mission to earn Garrus’s loyalty.

Thane’s Loyalty Mission

Complete this mission to earn Thane’s loyalty. Warning, this mission can be failed. If you don’t have your Spectre status anymore, be sure to use all the Renegade Interrupts during the interrogation to get the information you need. When following your target do not lose sight of him for too long and be sure to keep Thane informed. Failing to do so will end the mission in failure.

Jack’s Loyalty Mission

Complete this mission to earn Jack’s loyalty. After this mission is complete Miranda and Jack will get into a fight. Be sure to use Charm/Intimidate to end the fight peacefully. If you do not you will lose either Jack or Miranda’s loyalty.

Samara’s Loyalty Mission

Complete this mission to earn Samara’s loyalty. Warning, this mission can be failed. When you’ve lured Morinth out DO NOT pick the “Family” or “Justicar” dialogue options. If you use all three Charm/Intimidate options when you are alone with Morinth you will have a choice of either helping Samara kill Morinth or help Morinth kill Samara. In the former Samara will become loyal and in the latter Morinth will take Samara’s place and be loyal.

Tali’s Loyalty Mission

Complete this mission to earn Tali’s loyalty. Warning, this mission can be failed. The outcome of this mission will have a big impact on ME3. During the first part of the trial be sure to take the two Charm/Intimidate options. During the trial’s second half at the conclusion of the mission you’ll have several possible outcomes.

You can present the evidence, preventing Tali’s exile but you’ll lose her loyalty. You can refrain from presenting the evidence, resulting in Tali’s exile but you’ll secure her loyalty. Neither of these outcomes is preferable.

For the very best outcome to this mission you MUST pick the final Charm/Intimidate option or the “Rally the Crowd” option. Please note that “Rally the Crowd” will only work if Veetor and Kal’Reegar are both alive and present at the trial.

Zaeed’s Loyalty Mission

Complete this mission to earn Zaeed’s loyalty. Warning, this mission can be failed. This mission has two routes, the Paragon route and the Renegade route. The Renegade route will always secure Zaeed’s loyalty. If you take the Paragon route you must pass a very high Charm check to secure Zaeed’s loyalty.

Overlord (DLC)

This mission has several parts and it will take time to complete. You will fight a lot of geth so plan your party accordingly. The mission’s final decision will have an impact on ME3.

Endgame Preparations

You are approaching the Point-of-No-Return. Before you proceed ask yourself the following questions.

If the answer to all of these questions is “Yes” then proceed. If the answer to any of these questions is “No” then wait and make any preparations you need before continuing.

Care for an extra save, especially if you want to romance Tali. There is a bug that causes Tali not to be romanced after the IFF and Legion’s Loyalty Mission.

IFF Mission game’s unofficial Point-of-No-Return, especially if you want everyone to get out of the Suicide Mission alive. During this mission you will also meet your final (potential) squadmate. You’ll be fighting a lot of husks during this mission.

You’ll get to decide what to do with Legion. You can sell it to Cerberus for some credits or you can activate it and recruit it. If you recruit it be sure to immediately talk to it again to unlock its Loyalty Mission. If Legion doesn’t give it to you move to another deck and come back. Do not access the galaxy map until you get the mission.

Legion’s Loyalty Mission

Complete this mission to secure Legion’s loyalty. This mission’s final decision will have a big impact on ME3.

After the mission is complete Tali and Legion will get into a fight. You MUST use Charm/Intimidate here to end the fight. Failure to do so will have a negative impact on ME3.

Access the galaxy map and the next mission will automatically start. For this mission you’ll be controlling Joker. Follow’s EDI’s directions and move quickly and carefully.

Once the mission is finished and you are in control of Shepard again head immediately for the Omega-4 Relay. It is time to begin the Suicide Mission.

The Suicide Mission

Once you reach the Collector Base you’ll need to make several decisions which will influence who may or may not survive the Suicide Mission.

Whenever Shepard’s squad splits into two teams always pick either Miranda, Jacob or Garrus to lead the other team.

When choosing a tech expert pick either Tali, Legion or Kasumi.

When choosing the Escort pick Mordin (otherwise he will die even when he is loyal)

When choosing a biotic expert pick Samara/Morinth or Jack.

When it is time to pick your final squad to take with you to the final battle choose from Miranda, Tali, Jack or Kasumi. I always pick Miranda and Tali. NEVER take Grunt, Zaeed or Garrus. Leaving these three behind to help hold the line greatly increases the odds of everyone else surviving.

As a reminder, whoever you pick for a task must be loyal to do it successfully. This lineup has never failed me.

The final decision for this mission has an impact on ME3.

Lair of the Shadow Broker (DLC)

Head to Illium and speak to Liara to start this mission. Liara will join your squad for the second half of this mission. Remember to allocate her power points when you get her. This DLC has a much greater impact if you romanced Liara in ME1. Be sure to invite Liara up to your cabin after the mission is complete.

Completing this DLC has an impact on ME3 and unlocks some useful resources and interesting/amusing info in ME2. I prefer to complete this mission after the Suicide Mission because I think it helps sets the stage for ME3.

Arrival (DLC)

This mission becomes available after Horizon if you have the DLC downloaded and installed. Admiral Hackett will contact you with this mission. For most of this mission Shepard will be fighting alone so prepare yourself.

This DLC sets the stage perfectly for ME3. This mission should be the absolute last thing you do before moving on to ME3. What I like to do is download this DLC and keep it on a flash drive. I only plug it in when I am ready to do the mission. That way I can get Hackett’s message and complete the mission all in one go. It feels awkward to get this mission and let it sit for so long given its nature.

That should be everything. Happy gaming!

Mass Effect 2 Legendary Edition

Walkthrough assignments, fba couplings ¶.

You can start this assignment side-task by speaking with Engineer Donnelly down on the Engineering deck of the Normandy. Ask if he requires anything else and he’ll request some new FBA Couplings.

To find these, travel to Omega and make your way to the shop - Kenn’s Salvage. Here you can purchase the required parts. Do so and return them to the engineers aboard the Normandy. They will be thrilled and ask you to participate in a card game with them which you can do or not do at your discretion.

After handing in the FBA couplings, the task will be complete.

Serrice Ice Brandy ¶

This assignment starts by talking with Dr Chakwas in the Medical Bay on the crew deck of the Normandy. Speak with her and she’ll tell you she regrets losing a bottle of brandy. Tell her that you’ll keep an eye out for one to begin the mission.

To find the Serrice Ice Brandy, you need to travel to the Krogan world of Tuchanka. Visit Ratch’s Wares and you will be able to buy the liquor from the shop. Once you have obtained it, return the bottle to Dr Chakwas aboard the Normady for an amusing scene that will complete the task.

Special Ingredients ¶

This assignment starts by talking with Mess Sergeant Gardner who is located in the kitchen area on the Crew Quarters deck of the Normandy. Speak with him and he’ll tell you that the food he makes is not as good as he would like and that if he had better supplies, the crew would be better fed. Tell him you’ll look into it.

To find some better food, you need to travel to the Citadel. Visit the Zakera Cafe and from the terminal here you will be able to buy the item ’ High Grade Provisions ’. Once you have obtained it, return to the Normandy and hand them over to Gardner to complete the mission.

This subreddit is the unofficial forum for those who love the Mass Effect universe including the games, comics, and books!

Which assignments in Mass Effect 1 are worth doing?

So I got the legendary edition, I’ve been playing for about 20 hours now and realized that a lot of the assignments seem to just be filler missions without actually adding much to the story or having a story of their own. I don’t care so much for the gear upgrades, but I’m looking for assignments which have a good story. Try to avoid spoilers and just say the name of the assignment, thanks for any help!
