So my first playthrough I was sentinal and really enjoyed. Now from what I have heard Insanity is a bitch to do but I wanna 100% the game so my question is can I start a new game and import my character and still get the trophy
A simple yes or no would work. Thanks!
Mass Effect 2
Game » consists of 21 releases. Released Jan 26, 2010
After a violent death by an unknown force and a timely reanimation by the human supremacist organization Cerberus, Commander Shepard must assemble a new squad in the seedier side of the galaxy for a suicide mission in the second installment of the "Mass Effect" trilogy.
Questions about Insanity run
Do a new game for sure, the enemies will be weaker early on, and you can use the upgrade system to keep an edge on them. That's how I did it. Soldier will make it the easiest ride, with the slow down power and sniper rifle you will handle most situations with ease.
Yeah, I did a fresh Soldier run as well. Most of it was cake as long as you have at least one member with warp and another to take down shields.
Long as you have everyone Loyal, and you choose the right party members for the right objectives, it should nail down the achievement with ease. Which party members to go with what objectives is obvious enough, but just in case, the most sure bet is to have:
- Tali for the vents.
- Garrus/Jacob lead the secondary teams.
- Jack/Samara for the biotic bubble.
- Anyone, really, for escorting your crew back. (which btw also requires you do save all the crew members along with your entire party surviving)
If you just want the trophy for insane, skip all the loyalty quests (and side quests in general) since they will just increase your level and make the quests harder. Only do quests that you need for story or that give you can upgrade (Mass Effect Wiki can show you which ones).
If you want the whole team to survive, I recommend just reloading a save before the collectors ship on casual and make sure you have done the following: All loyalty missions, all ship upgrades and choose the right leaders for each mission (i.e don't chose Jacob to hack, or Legion to lead the second team,etc).
" @Abyssfull: I seriously did all of that but for some reason I still lost somebody. Im thinkin not doing any side missions cept for loyalty should help though "Huh, well that sucks =/ I imagine luck still plays a small part so you're better off just making a separate save per stage for the Suicide Mission.
I remember that I tried to play insanity right after I finished the game on normal, I imported my vanguard and it was almost impossible to get past the first level.
" @Sackmanjones:I used Legion for the vents

Miranda leading secondary teams
Samara for the biotic bubble
and Mordin escorting the crew back, he tends to die otherwise
That worked for me on normal and insanity

Now from what I have heard Insanity is a bitch to do but I wanna 100% the game so my question is can I start a new game and import my character and still get the trophy A simple yes or no would work. Thanks!That's what I did! Though I did make the mistake of going into the Kasumi DLC too early on, and it was a bitch to get through that. Later on in the game though when you're appropriately equipped and leveled up, life gets easier. It's all about your strategy. It's hard, but not insanely hard. Just a damn good challenge :) It was a pleasure to complete it on insanity.
Insanity runs can be done (kinda) well with vanguards. If you spec into shield regen when you charge and use the shotgun you get if you have the cerberus network, you can cut off the infinite spawn areas that happen a lot in the game and do crazy damage. And since guns do tons of damage at melee range, charging and then shotgunning guys does crazy damage. Also, if you buy one of the weapon packs, you get an awesome rifle, a pretty good pistol, and a badass geth shotgun that charges up.
