Is there anything special I have to do to activate the From Ashes DLC, if I install it when I'm halfway through playing the game?
I bought the From Ashes DLC ages ago and have played it through before, but haven't played ME3 for ages and decided to start a new play-through. I started the game without realising that the DLC was not installed, so I installed it halfway through the game. Does that matter? Is there anything I need to do to trigger it, other than Priority Mars which I did ages ago?
Best Answer
I Googled this a lot to no avail and I've now figured it out, so I thought I'd share in case anyone else gets stuck. Basically, problem 1 was that my XBox 1 said "installed" after I selected each individual add-on but, in reality, that just started the install process. It didn't actually finish until about 20 minutes later. No joy after going back to Eden Prime so I saved the game, went back to the main menu so that it could check downloadable content again, and resumed the game.
I was still orbiting Eden Prime while saving, but the mission has now appeared and, therefore, I assume all the others have too if people are just searching for general ME3 DLC advice and wind up here.

How do I trigger the Ashes DLC?
Once you have advanced far enough in the game, all you need to do to start the From the Ashes DLC is head over to Talmberg Castle and speak to Sir Divish. In terms of necessary progress, you will need to have advanced in the game far enough for Pribyslavitz to be unoccupied - ie.Do you have to start a new game for Mass Effect 3 DLC?
No need to start a new game. You'll get emails on your private terminal when the DLC missions are available.When should I play the Ashes DLC?
All players should play From Ashes as soon as they can. This mission should show up on the Galaxy Map under \u201cPriority: Eden Prime\u201d right as Shepard boards the Normandy. This controversial expansion adds a new squad member, Javik, and gives almost vital context to the rest of the game.How to Access Bloodborne's The Old Hunters DLC
