Failing to complete the missions in an order close to this will result in a variety of missions becoming unavailable, which can impact your war assets and get people killed. You need to do the missions in the following order. Notable missions that need completing in order
In this instance, you can just play the main story line missions, which pretty much present themselves to you in the order that they can be played in.įor a full completion though, there are a few missions that must be completed in a specific order as they're only available before or after certain events occur in the main story. However, most of the missions where the order does matter can be ignored if you're willing to skip portions of the content available in the game. There is currently not a game save editor for DSII for the 360 (you mentioned you were playing on 360 in the other question), I would put it at an extremely low probability that he was a cheater and an extremely high probability he had both rings on and you got hit with damage threshold recoil.
