Mass Effect 2 Prologue Guide: Combat Tips, Loot Routes, Dialogue Choices
Mass Effect 2’s wiki guide section kicks off with a focus on the game’s earliest events—covering how to push through the prologue combat, track down loot, and select dialogue options that shape your commander’s first stretch of the story.
What this section covers
This part of the Mass Effect 2 wiki guide zeroes in on the Prologue, walking you through getting through every combat encounter in that opening stretch, pointing out where to find loot sources, and advising on which dialogue choices to make for your specific playthrough.
Mass Effect 2 Prologue overview
Mass Effect 2 begins with a prologue sequence before you ever reach character creation, because the character creator is presented as part of the overarching narrative. Even if you imported a save from Mass Effect 1, you’ll still be able to adjust Commander Shepard’s appearance in this entry.
From there, the guide transitions into the game’s first real opening missions, where Shepard learns about a new threat and meets the people who can help them stop it.
It also includes a handful of extra sections that aren’t labeled with the Prologue prefix, but still function as prelude material—essentially covering the period before the game fully opens up. The guide additionally folds in shopping stops at The Citadel and Omega, since Mass Effect 1 players typically arrive with credits to spend, and there aren’t many other convenient places to use them.
