Mass Effect 3 Mission OrderListed below is the complete Mass Effect 3 mission order, which includes links to our detailed, step-by-step walkthroughs for every mission that you will encounter within the game. Act 1 - EarthIn the opening of the game, Commander Shepard, relieved of duty over their actions in Mass Effect 2, must escape Earth and quickly find a way to stop the Reapers from annihilating all sentient life in the galaxy. But this will already come with heavy costs, and an excursion to Mars provides both hope and loss.
Act 2 - Turians and Kroganadvertisement With the Council unwilling to band together in support of building the Prothean Device, Shepard decides to bypass them and appeal directly to their military leadership. Their first lead is to attend a War Summit between the major races, where a 1,500 year old rivalry is about to be put to the test.
Act 3 - Quarians and GethAfter securing Krogan support for the Turians to get their support for Earth, a major insurrection is discovered that shakes the status quo of the war. After surviving that, Shepard must once again attempt to end one of the longest-standing cold wars in the galaxy.
Act 4 - Cerberus and Reapersadvertisement After ending their second multi-century conflict, Shepard is directed to the Asari homeworld of Thessia in search of the Catalyst, the key component of the Crucible, putting them on a collision course with Cerberus. The assault on this shadowy organization's headquarters mark the beginning of the end of Shepard's long journey to stop the Reapers.
