Party Member Achievement Guide

From Mass Effect Wiki

This is a brief walkthrough on getting ally achievements.

[edit] General Advice

• Remember to keep the character that you want to receive the achievement for in your party at all times after acquiring them.
• While on ship, remember to speak to Garrus Vakarian, Urdnot Wrex, and Tali'Zorah nar Rayya, as all of these give an assignment that can be completed.
• These achievements are slightly more difficult the longer it takes for you to receive the character. Thus the difficulty in increasing order is:

Ashley Williams / Kaidan Alenko → Garrus Vakarian → Urdnot Wrex → Tali'Zorah nar Rayya → Liara T'Soni

• It is advisable to use a pre-existing character of levels 30+ if attempting this process on a difficulty of Hardcore or higher.
