Mass Effect 3 Omega DLC Checklist: Unlock Steps and Achievement Guide

Mass Effect 3 players looking to revisit the Omega content get a clear checklist for unlocking the DLC, along with a breakdown of its achievements and what you need to do to earn them.

Checklists

The Omega DLC brings back Aria, Nyreen, and Shepard as you push to reclaim the station known as Omega. Cerberus has overrun the place and effectively “taken” it from Aria, and she’s willing to work with Shepard—on the condition that Shepard helps her get the station back as part of her own war efforts.

  • How to Unlock the Omega DLC
  • Omega DLC Achievements / Trophies
  • For the original Mass Effect 3 release on Xbox 360, PS3, and PC, the Omega DLC is sold separately through each platform’s storefront.
  • The Omega DLC does not come to the Wii U Special Edition.
  • In the Legendary Edition, Omega is included automatically.

Regardless of edition, the Omega DLC becomes playable in your current save after you complete these steps:

  1. Finish Priority: Palaven.
  2. Go to the Citadel and speak with Aria in Purgatory.
  3. Check your Normandy Private Terminal for Aria’s message titled “Omega: It’s time”.

Omega DLC Achievements / Trophies

Omega includes three achievements or trophies. One is the Meticulous achievement worth 50G, earned by completing all of the DLC’s Side Missions. Another is the Talon achievement, also worth 50G, which triggers by locating the Talon leader. The third is Savior, worth 25G, awarded when you free Omega from Cerberus’ occupation.
