hello all, let me start out by saying that i am not experienced with playing games ablove their normal difficulty. But, as i love mass effect i want to get the platinum trophy and that means that i need to beat insanity. so, i have beat veteran with out too much trouble, but im dying like crazy on hardcore, or not really dying  but its really hard to kill enemies and in later levels i will be dying like crazy. so, here's my build:

1:Incendiary Ammo (for me) lvl3
2:Squad Cryo Ammo (for my squad exclusively) lvl4
3:Heavy Charge lvl4
4:Shockwave lvl2
5:Pull lvl1
6:Champion lvl4
Bonus Power: barriar lvl3


so, should i stay a vanguard, should i redo my build completely, or should i do a new class? thank you in advance

[Praetor Knight]

On Insanity you can try this as a Vanguard:

1: Inferno Ammo (for me) lvl4
2: Squad Cryo Ammo (for my squad exclusively) lvl4
3: Heavy Charge lvl4
4: Shockwave - one point
5: Pull zero
6: Champion lvl4
Bonus Power: Heavy Barrier or Heavy Slam lvl4



Also, what was your bonus weapon?

And other available weapons?

[Darth_Ravor]

bonus weapon assault rifles, shotgun is eviserator,(spelling?) pistol the one mordin gives you, locus smg, assult rifle is the standard one that says m8 on it.

[Darth_Ravor]

i also pretty much always use the collector partical beam

[Darth_Ravor]

i also got MANY helpful hints such as the best way to take down a scion from this guide. http://www.gamefaqs....ct-2/faqs/61068

[Darth_Ravor]

so...Praetor Shepard, any thoughts?

[Praetor Knight]

You should utilize the different Heavy Weapons for the different areas of the game.

For example the Avalanche is really good against Husks. And there are a few places where the Cain really helps a lot like the Horizon Praetorian fight.

Also, if you have the Mattock, I recommend using that over the Avenger. The Vindicator is also nice since you have the SMG's.


Where are you having the greatest difficulty with the Vanguard? We can give you some tips for the different areas.

[Darth_Ravor]

honestly the times i die the most are any time a YMIR is involved. charging is suicide and the flank you like theres no tomorrow an 2 shots and ur dead. i used to dread the derilect reaper because of the scions but the guide i posted above really helped me with them. so suggestions about YMIRs would help but im going to go try out that build you suggested.

Do Reave instead of Pull.

[Praetor Knight]

YMIR's, you have to whittle them down with "bug bites" sometimes, but the Arc Projector can really help against them. There are different ways to deal with them, I tend to try to hit the head and that general area. So I wait behind cover while it fires the machine gun and then pop out before and after the rocket.

There are a couple levels where you can be close and use Charge frequently. You just have to know where to drop back into cover as you engage it.

The Vanguard can be really fun when you get the hang of the class. There are some videos I can look for again and link here also.

Which part of Purgatory? I'll give some general suggestions that I've used.

The YMIR's can be taken out in a number of ways. I tend to stay at range and just keep shooting and moving around. I try to keep the squad away from me to keep shooting at the mechs and guards as they focus fire on me, and I try to save the YMIR's for last since their pattern of attack repeats, especially the one that starts deactivated at the end of that long room.

Also, bring at least one squadmate with any level Concussive Shot, so you can bring down the three shield generators down in one shot. I prefer Garrus and/or Zaeed for this with Incisors. The other squadmate can be used to setup Warp Bombs, if you have Slam and have practiced the timing. But any power will do well. Stasis can buy you time also, if you have it.

Last thing, at the ending sequence, I leave the squad in the middle cover. Then, what I do is move to the bridge on the right, but only close enough to that generator, on that right side, to target that generator at range and then I bring up the power wheel to have a squadmate use the concussive shot to bring it down fast.

Then I run back to cover in the middle, and take out the generator in the middle.

Next, I move to the left side and use concussive shot on that one on the left and then focus on the Warden. I let the squad keep the other enemy busy  near the middle, and I advance along that cover as close as necessary but staying at range and whittle the Warden down.

I hope what I'm describing is making sense.

What part of Freedom's Progress?

[Darth_Ravor]

the first fight with the 5 mechs and the dogs

[Praetor Knight]

I sometimes double back into the larger room you just came from because of the dogs.



I focus on shooting the dog mechs first to strip the armor with the pistol and I try to have Jacob Pull one.

If one dog mech is right on top of me I charge it and have the squad focus fire on it and try to drop behind the cover before I take too much damage.



Also you can tap the fire button really fast with the Shuriken to take down the mechs faster. Sometimes either Jacob or Miranda dies on me in that fight because of the cross-fire, but I try to save the MediGel for later.

You're doing a NG+ Insanity run?  

BAD idea.  If you haven't run a new game on Insanity first, you're going to have an incredibly difficult time with NG+.

The issue is that NG+ enemies are scaled to lvl 30 but at the beginning of the game, you have ZERO upgrades.  

I'd recommend starting a fresh game on Insanity instead.  Not only will it be easier to get started, but it will also give you the ME1 import bonuses (if you used an import).  NG+ does not give you the morality or Rich ME1 bonuses.  

So far, I've only done 1 NG+ insanity run (with a Vanguard) and it was one of the more frustrating playthroughs I've ever done.  Garrus's recruitment mission was absolutely the least fun experience I've ever had in this game.  The shutters are ridiculous when you have no upgrades and "The Pyro" is more annoying than ever.

well if i have to start a new game might as well play as a sentinal since they have tech armor and warp and stuff
