Asari Ally Achievment

[RedMist99]

I'm coming towards the end of my third game on M.E and my squad has been Liara and Garrus this time round. I got to the Citadel and immediatly went to rescue Liara. So other than that mission she has been in my team. I gained the Turian Ally Achievment after i'd finished the third compulsary planet plus the majority of assignments. Having just done Virmire and finishing off the other assignments, I'm wondering when the Asari ally one will be unlocked. Can anyone shed any light on this for me?

I've posted this before, but the unlocking points for the ally achievements are related to the length of time in the game before they join your party. Here's the party member achievement guide from the Mass Effect Wiki:

* Remember to keep the character that you want to receive the achievement for in your party at all times after acquiring them.
* Remember, while on ship, to speak to Garrus Vakarian, Urdnot Wrex, and Tali'Zorah nar Rayya, as all of these give an assignment that can be completed.
* These achievements are more difficult the longer it takes for you to recieve the character, thus the difficulty in increasing order is: Ashley Williams/Kaidan Alenko→Garrus Vakarian→Urdnot Wrex→Tali'Zorah nar Rayya→Liara T'Soni

1. Complete Eden Prime
2. Continue on with Missions, avoiding all Assignments
1. Talk to the Council
2. Find Harkin at Chora's Den
3. Find Garrus at Med Clinic
4. Speak to Wrex at C-Sec
5. Go back to Chora's Den and take care of Fist (don't pick up the data slate while there, go back and get it after getting Liara)
6. Go to the alleyway and rescue Tali'Zorah nar Rayya
7. Go back to Council and receive your status as a Spectre
3. Leave the Citadel
4. Go to the Artemis Tau Cluster, Knossos System, Planet Therum and find Liara T'Soni
5. From here, systematically go to each and every system and do all of the Assignments that can be found on each planet/ship (Normally 1 per system). Collections (such as UNC: Valuable Minerals) are not necessary.
6. Complete Feros and Virmire, make sure not to kill Urdnot Wrex while on Virmire.
7. Return to the Citadel and complete all Assignments that can be found there.
8. Move on to Noveria, complete the Assignments that can be found there (all of them can be completed before leaving in the Mako).
9. Complete Noveria.

If all of these are completed, you should receive this achievement (for any of the characters) before moving on to Ilos; however, if you do not receive it, but you completed most of the Assignments, there is a high likelihood that you will receive this achievement at any time up to the endgame conversation

Thanks alot man. The only thing I did different was pick up the data disc before I went to get Liara. Hopefully should have the achievment by the time I finish.
