How to unlock the Krogan Ally achievement in Mass Effect - Definitive Guide

According to Mass Effect Wiki, you unlock this achievement by completing 45 assignments with Wrex out of the disc's 73. Each DLC adds 3 to that list, making for a max of 79.

1) You do not need the character in your party to count toward your total, you just need him there when the assignment is marked "completed"
2) YES, DLC assignments can count, and are much easier than some in game assignments.
3) It make little difference who you use as your other character, as all the other characters need 45 assignments complete, save Liara who needs 50 assignments. Pick the squadmate who seems ideal for the situation or who will compliment your squad best.
4) When you earn this, all characters will regenerate 1HP per second no matter what.

Just get wrex asap, and you easily get this achievment once you do most of the sidequests.

Good solution! Nice touch on the perk as well. If you go under "extras" and "achievements" it will tell you what all the perks of the other achievements are as well.

I kept track of achievements and missions completed with my part of Tali and Wrex. I tracked how much EXP was given for the completion of each assignment and mission. It seems Tali's achievement unlocked after I had 75000 EXP earned from missions/achs during her stay in my party. Wrex's achievement came as soon as I completed Feros, Tali's came after I gave Gavin Hossle his data (right before beating the Thorian). The top half of the list is a summary, there is a bit more detail below.

Total number of missions: 11
Total number of assignments: 28
Total EXP earned from completed missions: 18250
Total EXP earned from completed assignments: 53700
Total EXP earned from completed missions/assignments: 72950
(Wrex's ach came after earning 7000 EXP after beating the Thorian, so it was from the first thing I did after earning Tali's)

You do not need to do 45 assignments!

The DLC seems to be worth more. I completed 11 missions and only 26 assignments when this popped, though 5 of my assignments were from X57 and Pinnacle Station.

For missions, I completed only Find Liara T'Soni and all of Noveria. While i started Feros I did not need to complete it. The Snorg's solution lists the mission titles if you need them.

For assignments I only completed 21 non-DLC, mostly Citadel assignments, the first four Feros assignments from the tunnels, and a few quick non-shooting assignments like UNC:Major Kyle or Noveria:Smuggling.

If you have the DLC, get those done first and the achievement will pop sooner!

You were right about one thing. You don't need 45 assignments for that. It actually took me 49 missions/assignments which is a better general estimation from what I've seen on the web though. I don't know how you got it with only 37 but good for you.

Did you do all DLC first? Glad to hear you got it but sorry it took so many assignments!

That's the catch... The DLC counts more than all of the others. If you had done the DLC first you wouldn't have needed to finish as many missions and assignments.

This is true for all characters, even Liara. If you have more achievements left try it again on easy, getting Liara then doing the DLC and you'll have it in no time.

You're telling me that the 6 assignments from the DLC cover up for the additional 11 I had to do in order to get Wrex's achievement? I'll have to test that for myself soon, I've got 2 playthroughs left to complete the game.

This is still relevant in 2016 on Xbox One via backwards compatibility.

I got the Kaiden and Tali achievements before I even went to Noveria by doing the DLC.

I did a bunch of sidequests (about 35ish, lots of Citadel ones and loads of UNC ones) I did Feros and its sidequests and the two DLC's.

I got Kaidens achievement after pinnacle station and then I got Tali's achievement as I was picking up Liara.

I still have to do Noveria, Virmire and some sidequests including all the long collection ones. The DLC 100% definitely helps a lot. Do it ASAP.

Didn't do any DLC but wouldn't it count the same anyway? I guess if I did the DLC first I would have gotten early in the storyline but still would be the same number of missions and assignments combined. Got mine on Noveria before departing for Peak 15, having done 90% of assignments, none that required collecting. Sentinel's unlocked earlier.

!!!! READ THIS BEFORE USING WREX, IT COULD SAVE A LOT OF TIME! On Virmire there is a situation that will require you to have full charm or else
. Resolving this situation will also give you the "Charismatic" achievement. I lost about 4 hours of gameplay due to this. cry

Use Wrex for every mission and assignment that you go on. Try not to do any optional assignments until you have him. You need to complete 45 assignments and most of the missions with him, so he has to survive long enough to get this.
