How to unlock the Master and Commander trophy

    This can be achieved BEFORE Priority: Perseus veil in act 2.

    Updates count towards the collection. You need about 5100 EMS on the war table console.

    The biggest decision you'll need to make for this is with the Krogan.
    Make sure you CURE the genophage, this is done by doing the following:
    • Reveal the sabotage request to Eve when given the chance (you get two attempts at this)
    • Make sure you use paragon options when talking to the Salarian Doctor at the end of the mission.
    You get a MUCH bigger reward from the Krogan than the Salarians.

    Tuchanka: Turian Platoon and Tuchanka: Bomb must be cometed as soon as possible before doing Priority: Tuchanka.
    You must also complete Attracian Traverse that Wrex gives you by talking to him i the war room.
    During this mission you have a lot of different ending and most suck for the Krogan, but not for us.
    • If you saved the Rachni Queen in ME1, YOU MUST release her. The Rachni give the Alliance an extra 100 to the war table. If you do this, the entire Krogan team dies, but you're only sacrificing 50points.
    • If Grunt is loyal in ME2, he will survive regardless, but his squad still dies if you save the Queen
    • If you save the false Queen, You'll take a hit on both Krogan and Aliiance forces but will earn some workers, but they aren't as strong as the natural Queens workers.

    All side quests should be conpleted when you can do them:

    The guide above is not my own work and all crdit goes to the site it belongs to and its users.
    This guide is perfect for knowing when they unlock and how to unlock them.

    Scanning EVERY system to 100% is also recommended, the extra things you find are normally for quests on the Citadel if you missed them.

    This guide is great for finding them.

    DLC counts towards this total too:
    I did Omega almost immediately, this awards you with Omegas Eezo reserves, and four mercenary companies (technically 3, but the Talons work as part of Omega)

    Completing Priority: Eden Prime too helps. Make sure you do the super easy side quest to get an extra 75points towards your EMS. This adds 100points overall.

    I'd also completed half of Leviathan too, but can't remember if any asset's had come vome out of it by that point.

    Making sure that all loyalties were done in ME2 helps to get those members of ME2's squad to as assets.
    I had:
    • Jack (Grissom Academy)
    • Jacob (Arrae)
    • Kasumi
    • Zaeed

    by the time this trophy unlocked.

    You can also unlock Gavin Archer from the DLC Project Overlord in ME2 as long as you sent David to Grissom Academy, and didn't let Gavin commit suicide by telling him how well David is doing. Kirrahe can also become an asset, if he survived Vermire in ME1.

    Sacnning and doing all side quests as they become avaiable/available to be completed. You'll do this easy.

    Jet-KlaatuI have 6281and still this hasn't popped. Is this meant to pop later on when I actually deliver the war assets?
