Shoot, if a Thresher Maw can "battle" a Reaper, then I know the answer to the great Reaper question: Makos. Lots of them. War over, Humans win.

LOL yeah considering one Mako pretty much destroyed all of the Geth Heretics you'd think the Alliance ground forces have to be damn near invincible. I'm sure 100 Makos shooting at a Reaper, will eventually kill it.

Just get a bunch of giant thresher maws to gobble all of the Reapers down...I mean, they've already confirmed one such 'battle'

So, our team will look like this?

Ashley/Kaidan, Garrus, James, Thresher Maw #1, Thresher Maw #2, Thresher Maw #3, Thresher Maw #4, Thresher Maw #5, Thresher Maw #6, Thresher Maw #7, Thresher Maw #8, Thresher Maw #9, Thresher Maw #10, Thresher Maw #11, Thresher Maw #12, Thresher Maw #13, Thresher Maw #14, Thresher Maw #15, Thresher Maw #16, Thresher Maw #17, Thresher Maw #18, Thresher Maw #19, Thresher Maw #20,

Is that right?

[Harmless Crunch]

I think half-way through the game we'll find a ancient Prothean weapon that can deal tons more damage to the Reapers then normal cannons

Shepard must find and awaken an ancient race of protectors.

Hoping for this. Would be awesome.

Likewise to a degree.

What if the Hanar's "The Enkindlers" aren't the Protheans? What if they were another race? Afterall the Enkindler's supposedly built the Mass Relays as well, besides teaching the Hanar language. We still don't know for certain that the Mass Relays are genuinely of the Reaper's making. Although this idea is probably a bit too far fetched since the Hanar's Enkindlers most likely were just the Protheans.

[The Spamming Troll]

this topic is the exact reason why every species has fallen to the reapers.

how do we stop the reapers?

"we" cant.

[jimmyjoefro]

I'm still interested in Klencory.

[Anacronian Stryx]

I suspect that there will be some degree of Deus Ex Machina involved.. it's just a matter of how bad it will be, Hopefully it's not time travel bad.

[jimmyjoefro]

It's not Deus Ex Machina if it makes sense. There isn't enough information on Klencory to say it would be.

[Galenwolf]

He'll have to bring in other Shepards from different universes and then Major John Sheppard will come in with Atlantis and blow up all the Reapers in seconds.

[Autoclave]

Bwahaha! I love the Mass Effect community! So many hilarious answers!
About Ass Pull, I think Bioware doesn't hate us so much to do an ass pull

My version of lesser evil Deus Ex Machina, would be the appearance of descendants of those ancient protheans that built the Conduit that somehow vanished. Suddenly we find out they had some sort of trap prepared for Reapers..

The Klencory description is amazing! Thanks for that link

[Seboist]

The key to defeating the Reapers is recruiting Harbinger's brother, Barbinger as a squadmate. Shep's crew can ride inside Barbinger like a Trojan horse into Reaper HQ and kill the big bossman Reaper in his sleep.

Victory with no losses right there.

[essarr71]

I've got a hunch Arrival was a big clue. I wouldn't be shocked if there was a, say, Brave New World, style solution - to keep things spoiler free. Not some magical pill or the reapers getting a cold when they hit Earth's atmosphere, but rather a radical change in how we use the technology we've been guided down to this point.

[Raven1015]

At this point, it seems the deus ex machina approach is the most likely, given the seeming invincibility of the Reapers. However, the key to me is more how sudden and easy this new "super weapon" or "ancient protector race" is obtained. It would be interesting to see a story like this ending instead with unity and tactics and massive battles, but given that no other organic race has managed this feat, it's unlikely.

I think it would be awesome for there to be a seeming deus ex machina that actually turns out to be a red herring. I think it's beyond the scope of the game, but imagine a gaming mechanic where you have to prioritize between rallying allies, participating in key battles, or pursuing a potential deus ex machina-type device. Your choices will determine the ending you get, and how much destruction the Reapers inflict, or even if they win. Former squadmates come into play, in that you can send them to do some of this dirty work for you, but if you don't have them, then you have to do more yourself. Not going to happen, but it would be interesting

[Raven1015]

Although I will settle for a clone army of Captain Picards

[Rurik_Niall]

I disagree, they've dropped a lot of Chekhov's Guns throughout the games so far. So many seemingly minor things I can see panning out into something oh so satisfying. Those liquid metal spheres that we've encountered twice so far for example, the first one giving Shepard a vision.

[lukex38]

i really dont want Deus Ex Machina that will kill all the reapers it would be so disapointing ,
but i was thinking this wont kill the all the reapers
it would be good to show, other ships using guerilla warfare on the reapers like really fast ships come out of FTL fire a few rounds or even a few nukes, then go back into FTL, i would love to this, and at some point lure a bunch of reapers close to a star and make it go supernova with the dark enegy that was in hastroms sun in tali recruitment mission or even trap and or kill a bunch of reaper by destroying a mass relay again but with out an astroid

[Nashiktal]

I'd be more annoyed if they retconned the reapers, and made them easier to kill somehow. Sovvy absorbed everything the citadel, and alliance fifth fleet gave it without slowing. Then, while handicapped, (stuck to the citadel, unable to move) sovvy continued to decimate fifth fleet.

If they make reapers weaker than portrayed, that will be the final retcon I can take.

[88mphSlayer]

the only satisfying deus ex machina is one that simply helps... ie: Vigil in Mass Effect 1 and the prothean data disc was a deus ex machina, but Shepard and company still had to make it happen against all odds

a deus ex machina that does all the work for me? might as well shut the game off right there

masseffect3 = shepard running around looking for these ancient xelnaga err.. protheian artifacts which once collected will reassemble with a handy countdown. Next all shepard has to do is take the artifact to Earth and fight all the WAVES of husks, that jump down from somewhere. Then volla the artifact will emite a blue/red glowing Splosion (depending on paragon or renegade status). uh cue credits..
^ thats right i called it:wizard:

[Rurik_Niall]

I'd call those McGuffins, not so much Deus Ex Machina. A Deus Ex Machina has to actually solve the problem, they only gave Shepard the information he needed, he still had to do it himself.

[floppypig]

Didn't Hudson say that there'd be a lot of red herrings before we found the real way in which the Reapers can be defeated?

I'm betting Klencory will be one of these red herrings.

[CARL_DF90]

Perhaps floppypig, perhaps. Still, considering that the Shadow Broker himself was convinced that there was something else out there before being taken down Liara and Shepard, then it makes me think that the "Beings of Light" might make an appearance.

[Rurik_Niall]

Personally, I think the most satisfying way to defeat them would be for Shepard to have to fight his way inside the queen Reaper, make it like the Suicide Mission but with more specialist choices to make, keep the loyalty idea, if a squad mate is disloyal they won't be able to fight off the indoctrination. Fight your way through, your squad placing charges at key locations, and making a dash for the exit ala escaping from planet Zebes. With the queen destroyed the remaining Reapers fall into disarray and are dealt with by the remaining fleets of the galaxy.

[Therefore_I_Am]

I can just imagine us discovering that the Citadel can also be used as a mobile platform and weapon.

[lukex38]

maybe for what ever reason there is a weapon (not a off switch but a weapon like a giant mass accelerator gun) under the earths crust or something thats why the reapers are attacking earth first not just because they see humanity as a threat,

what i want to know is who made the reapers are they still alive, are there more reapers that do this in other galaxys?
