How to unlock the Prothean Expert achievement

    Non-missable achievement, so long as you play the DLC.

    Simply complete the "From Ashes" DLC. This will show up on the Galaxy Map as "Priority: Eden Prime" in the Exodus Cluster's Utopia system, and should become available from the first opportunity you get to set your own destination. Note that the system will be flashing, but you won't see the name of the mission displayed on it unless you scroll over it.

    Once you've had a conversation with your new squadmate and the mission ends, the achievement will unlock during the loading screen as you transfer back to the Normandy.

    Scheme in RhymeFor some reason my comment didn't show up; I added the location of the mission to the solution after lunchbox posted his comment. Thanks guys for bringing that to my attention; I forgot the DLC mission wasn't super obvious from the main galaxy map.

    TriRockI guess a lot of people don't realize that 'From Ashes' needs to be bought as it is not included in the standard edition - that online pass only counts for Multiplayer. Nothing wrong with the solution, people voting negative are either being arse holes or idiots.

    HollowPondsAlso I think you need to download it from the in game menus (as with the recent MP DLC) if you get it from the Marketplace direct or through the Web front end it doesn't seem to show up :(

    Scheme in RhymeI don't know what you mean by it not showing up - it doesn't seem to appear on the Galaxy Map without you actively searching out its system, but I downloaded it via the marketplace and the mission was definitely there.

    PlayUltimate711I've bought and downloaded the DLC through the marketplace and it just isn't showing up...

    Scheme in RhymeI don't know what you mean by that - you can't find it on the Galaxy Map?

    LathandertgSame here... I was hoping to play it soon in the game in order to get this good weapon... I will check on DLC menu again - perhaps I have to activate it somehow...

    LathandertgUpdate: I found out that the DLC was not installed properly. I bought it directly in the game and when I checked on it in the hard drive space overview there was a yellow "!". So I downloaded the DLC again in Marketplace. This time it worked out and the mission showed up in game.

    PurpleShewI have completed two walk thrus with the dlc from day one and it never popped

    Scheme in RhymeThen something's glitched for you, and I don't know how to help, sorry. It should pop; there are no special requirements other than simply completing the mission. If you plan to get Leviathan, maybe try it after installing that, or delete From Ashes and then re-download and install?
