For example, if you have Samara's and you haven't recruited Tali, then you will get Thane's instead. You will acquire the skipped loyalty mission after completing an assignment or mission upon recruiting the squad member (see above for exceptions).
If you do not recruit/awaken a squad member, their loyalty mission will be skipped and the next loyalty mission from the sequence will be available for acquisition instead. You will acquire the 10 loyalty missions in the following order: Jacob, Miranda, Jack, Mordin, Grunt, Garrus, Samara, Tali, Thane, Legion. Samara: Not attracting or losing Morinth's attention during Samara's loyalty mission will cause Morinth to leave and prevent Shepard and Samara from being able to trap her, resulting in Samara not becoming loyal. Thane: Not updating Thane during his loyalty mission while following Joram Talid on the catwalks, resulting in Kolyat killing Talid. Leaving Zaeed pinned under the beam will kill him at the end of his loyalty mission (this option is only available if you have already gone through the Omega 4 Relay, you choose to save the workers, and you have at least 2 other squadmates left). Zaeed: Choosing to save the workers during Zaeed's loyalty mission will prevent him from becoming loyal (unless a high-level Charm is used at the end of the mission). Tali: During Tali's loyalty mission, providing the evidence that Tali's father was guilty of treason will prevent her from becoming loyal. These missions are Tali's, Zaeed's, Thane's, and Samara's loyalty missions.
To engage a loyalty mission, the relevant character must be brought in your squad, with the exception of Samara, who shows up at the appropriate times (though it is, however, a good idea to bring her along).įor some squad members, it is possible to make choices during their personal mission that will prevent their becoming loyal, even though the mission is considered complete. However, Grunt's, Samara's, Tali's, Thane's and Legion's missions have an additional trigger: if by that point all but one character has been recruited, and all other squad members' loyalty missions have been completed, then the loyalty mission for the aforementioned characters (whoever is recruited last) will become available directly after them joining the crew (completing a relevant Dossier mission, or, in case of Grunt and Legion, waking the character).Ĭompleting a loyalty mission will cause the relevant squad member to become loyal to you, enabling an alternate outfit, a bonus power, and improving their chances of survival during the suicide mission (provided you make the correct decisions during the mission).
The 'small' assignments from the Normandy, Omega, Illium, Tuchanka and the Citadel do not count also, Overlord, although made up of four assignments, counts as one.
The trigger for all loyalty missions is largely the same: every next loyalty mission is triggered simply by completing a mission and/or an assignment with a "Mission Complete" screen.
