Theoretic Eagle Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 (edited) There a total of 27 Missions that you MUST complete on Insanity and they are time sensitive. The game is Split up into 3 Acts Act 1: Palaven, Sur'Kesh, and Tuchanka Act 2: The Citadel, Geth Dreadnought, Rannoch, Thessia, and Horizon Act 3: Cerberus Headquarters and Earth Each act contains several parts. It's during these parts that missions are unlocked and locked. Priority Missions These Missions are not time sensitive as they are the story missions Prologue: Earth Mars Palaven Sur'Kesh Tuchanka The Citadel (Different from the first) Geth Dreadnought Rannoch Thessia Horizon Cerberus Headquaters Earth N7 Missions These Missions are time sensitive, As long as they are completed before you do Cerberus Headquarters Cerberus Lab (available after Palaven) Cerberus Attack (available after Tuchanka) Cerberus Abductions (available after Tuchanka) Cerberus Fighter Base (available after the second Priority Citadel Mission) Fuel Reactors (available after Rannoch) Communication Hub (available after Thessia) Side Missions These Missions are very time sensitive. They are unlocked during different parts of each act. They will lock after parts further in the story in parts of act 2. Doing Cerberus Headquarters will lock any remaining missions. Grissom Academy: Emergency Evacuation (Locks after the Second Priority Citadel) Tuchanka: Turian Platoon (locks after Priority: Thessia) Tuchanka: Bomb (Unlocks after Tuchanka: Turian Platoon) (locks after Second Priority Citadel) Attican Traverse: The Rachni (unlocks after Priority Sur'Kesh) (locks after Priority Second Citadel) Kallini: Ardat-Yakshi Monastery (locks after Priority: Cerberus Headquaters) Arrae: Ex-Cerberus Scientists (locks after Priority: Cerberus Headquarters) Rannoch: Admiral Koris (locks after Priority Rannoch) Rannoch: Geth Fighter Squadron (Locks after Priority Rannoch) Before you Cerberus Headquarters you should have 24/27 The Achievement will pop when you select the ending because this is the last mission even thought it does not appear in the mission log Edited March 14, 2012 by Theoretic Eagle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuSt BLaZe Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Hope you can confirm these and thanks. I can finally take a note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyprio Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 (edited) Nice work putting this togeather, but you're missing the first Earth. "Dekuuna Elcor Extraction" would not count towards the achievement due to not having to land on a planet. Edited March 11, 2012 by Kyprio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pants Party Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 (edited) Seems legit, would be good to get a few confirmations on that though. EDIT: Appears we already have a discrepancy. Would also be nice to get what the exact windows are for the side-quests. I don't think N7 missions expire at all though.

Kyprio Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 (edited) N7 missions are available up until departure for Cerberus HQ(Possibly Horizon though). The availability of the side missions are a little more complicated though; generally being available for the section of campain unlocked in. The following is from memory, but should be fairly accurate give or take a mission or so: [spoiler=Side missions] Grissom Academy - Available after Palaven - Unavailable after curing Genophage (give or take a mission or so) Tuchanka: Turian Platoon > Tuchanka: Bomb - Available after Sur'Kesh - Unavailable after completion of Geth Dreadnaught Attican Traverse: The Rachni - Available after Sur'Kesh - Unavailable after completion of Geth Dreadnaught Kallini: Ardat-Yakshi Monastery - Available after Citadel Mission (KL) - Unavailable after completion of Cerberus HQ(I think, Definately after Thessia though) Arrae: Ex-Cerberus Scientists - Available after Citadel Mission (KL) - Unavailable after completion of Cerberus HQ(I think, Definately after Thessia though) Rannoch: Admiral Koris (Confirmed) - Available after Geth Dreadnaught - Unavailable after Completion of Rannoch (Spartan Lasered) Rannoch: Geth Fighter Squadron (Confirmed) - Available after Geth Dreadnaught - Unavailable after Completion of Rannoch (Spartan Lasered) Edited March 11, 2012 by Kyprio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theoretic Eagle Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 Yes they are confirmed. Thank you for the last one. I checked last night and the Elcor didn't count. Can't believe I forgot the first Earth mission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absolutehell Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Just to clarify, do you mean the first mission on earth does not count towards this, but the ending choice counts as the 27th mission? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theoretic Eagle Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 Just to clarify, do you mean the first mission on earth does not count towards this, but the ending choice counts as the 27th mission? The prologue mission on Earth does not count. However the epilogue on the Citadel is the final mission. Note: It does not appear in the journal.

littlejay Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 the side missions are time sensitive and i think you just can't do any priority missions before them or they expire. so just do those first and all should be well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theoretic Eagle Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 Updated and done, I got this achievement about 6 hours ago so all missions/unlocks/locks is confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuSt BLaZe Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Updated and done, I got this achievement about 6 hours ago so all missions/unlocks/locks is confirmed. Now here comes a smart question (wonder why nobody asked): "What about PRIORITY: EDEN PRIME (DLC)!?" Did you do it with or without it, does it count towards the achievement!? Just curious, cause I'm doing it anyway right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theoretic Eagle Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 I did do it, and no it does not count towards the achievement. I was counting on my mission log and skipped it. I counted 24. I then checked my progress on the accomplishments tab and it was the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shura Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) Hi everybody, i just registred but i have been following X360A since the beginnig, i never participed before but now that i am registred i ll try to. But my first post is about a bug i think, i have been doing my insanity run (second run so i know what i had to do) and all went well, the "insanity" achievement popped, "the master and commander" too but no Unwavering, i checked the mission log and i have every mission in my log but if i go to "extras" it tell me that i have only 25/27 (and the dlc achievement doesn't appear either but i have it anyway). Anybody had this bug? PS: sorry for my english, it's not my native language. Edited March 12, 2012 by shura PS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuSt BLaZe Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 [*]Attican Traverse: The Rachni (Unlocks only if you do Tuchanka: Turian Platoon) That's not true. I can confirm it's available as soon as you finish PRIORITY: SUR'KESH. ...also... [*]Cerberus Attack (available after Tuchanka) It's availabe right after Sur'kesh.

HeartbreakRidge Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) By Grissom Academy, I assume you mean Grissom Academy:Emergency Evacuation? (Just to be perfectly clear in case that confuses anyone) Also, I did Tuchanka:Turian Platoon (and then :Bomb) but only Bomb shows in my quest log - which makes sense, since you can't really do Bomb without doing Platoon. Might be worth noting. Edited March 12, 2012 by HeartbreakRidge addition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o CYB0RG o Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Thank you so much for posting this! The best part is when they expire. This will help out TONS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theoretic Eagle Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 That's not true. I can confirm it's available as soon as you finish PRIORITY: SUR'KESH. ...also... It's availabe right after Sur'kesh. Those ones I used the Official Prima Guide for. Those are also when they unlocked for me. Tuchanka is one of those planets with multiple missions that can be done in any order except the Priority Mission right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyprio Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 After completing Sur'Kesh, you have the option to either do the Rachni or the Turian platoon; you just have to speak to the Krogan Leader aboard the ship to unlock it. Upon completion of one of these missions, the last genophage mission will unlock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dz06lt Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Attican Traverse: The Rachni (Unlocks only if you do Tuchanka: Turian Platoon) That's not true. I can confirm it's available as soon as you finish PRIORITY: SUR'KESH. ...also... It's availabe right after Sur'kesh. I can also confirm this, On another note if you do that mission BEFORE you do Priority Tuchunka 1 you will not be able to do that mission. As soon as you return to the normandy you only have the ability to play Priority Tuchuka(its 2 even though it doesnt say "2") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPG Master Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Working on my Insanity run now as my last two achievements. Just wanted to mention that contrary to what's been posted here, my count DID increase by one after Prologue: Earth and DID NOT increase after the first "Priority Citadel" May be an either or situation. I changed my difficulty was to "Insanity" before making the final decision on the file I imported from, don't know if that makes difference.

Tom Pladgett Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Well, Priority:Citadel One would make sense not being a mission since you just go there and have a chat, where as Pri:Cit Two leads into fighting off the Cerberus attack. So Prologue:Earth would have to count as a mission then. And yes, Turian Platoon and Rachni Attack are not in any way dependent on each other. You get them at the same time, and can actually do Rachni Attack BEFORE Turian Platoon. Just did them in that order today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoop QC Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 [*]Attican Traverse: The Rachni (Unlocks only if you do Tuchanka: Turian Platoon) Untrue, this mission unlocks right after Priority Sur'Kesh at the same time as Tuchanka-Turian Platoon, even if the strategy guide says otherwise.

I3east Lig3r Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Oh and maybe one more thing, you should mention WHEN THE ACHIEVEMENT POPS. Nice little side info for everyone. Cheers! SPOILERS!!! The achievement unlocks after it goes into the cutscene you chose to do (synthesis, control, or destroy). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
