A... scratch? Sovereign died. Exploded. I'm not sure what event you're referring to


Sovereign was weakened from Saren's death, which led to his destruction. Prior to that, he was taking those shots pretty well.

Well it charged through with brute force what looked like at least a heavy cruiser in order to get access to the panel it needed to override the keepers reprogramming, without a scratch.

That's why you have to have a diversion, like I said. Have the airforce attack, plus a groundforce, and then just get the nuke as close as possible. If you're even within half a mile, that Reaper is toast.

Also like I said, you could still easily use missiles. The Reapers don't shoot down individual missiles, as we've seen in ME3 and ME1. Sure, you'd lose all the men on that mission and everyone still alive in that city, but you could definitely kill the Reaper.

It would have to be an enormous ground force to even hope for a long enough distraction. And Sovereign could easily take the entire Human fleet before Shepard intervened. The nuke would do, at most hurt his barriers, and that would be temporary. One Human fleet could easily do alot more damage than a nuke.

F*** It, Im launching a suicide mission to plant a nuke in it.Whose in?


Can we stop by and do my loyalty mission on the way?


I know the Reapers are real and have trust in our leader...but I'm not gonna give my all unless you find my lost puppy.

That died 4 years ago. Also, wouldn't the reapers figure that nukes would be the only weapon useful against them? You'd think a race that can make mass relays in the middle of a galaxy could figure out a way to stop ICBMs or have protection from the blast of such a weapon.


Yes I'll do your loyalty mission. And the Puppy. Ill find a way!!!

Yea, he seemed to kinda.... pass out? after Saren died, but also his shields dropped. Shep takes shots fine too until his shields go

Nope, not really. As I said, modern day nukes are in the megaton range; the strongest of ME weapons are in the kiloton range. One megaton=1000 kilotons. The average nuke is 15-25 megatons. The largest ever was 50 megatons, and could have been 100 megatons. We have thousands upon thousands of nukes as a species. One nuke could easily match the firepower of a ME fleet, at least in the short-run.

WUT?:blink:

Saren was Sovereign's slave. If anything Saren would have been weekened by Sovereign's death, not the other way around.
Why would a million year old killing machine be affected by a poxy turian.

State your source?

I dont see how todays military would even get near a reaper nevermind penetrate the kinetic barriers. And then theres the illusive mass effect core that could do anything to anyone :P

His source? Playing the game perhaps? Soon as Saren dies so does Sovereign. Coincidence?

The devs, in the Twitter thread, have confirmed that Saren's death is what allowed Sovereign to be taken down. Sovereign would have eventually been taken down, but would have inflicted much higher losses.

I doubt anyone knows what really happened to sovereign, but you could speculate that when a reaper takes control of an organic directly and the organic dies while under control it somehow stuns the mind of the reaper inside the shell which would lead to loss of control/shields/weapons or it could just fully "die" if its host dies, i presume thats why harbinger released the collector general prior to its death.

A nuke-trap, if it gets close enough - boom - a few hundred megatons should do the trick. Remember, a nuke is so powerful for a few milliseconds it produces more heat than the suns surface, solid rock turns to ash; the Tsar bomb which was detonated in Russia could be felt in Australia.

Ok so, maybe killing a reaper isn't as cut-and-dry and I thought. But still.... nukes. The only better option would be dropping nukes from orbit... ok, maybe we'd be in a bit of trouble if a reaper showed up

I like how Reapers lol@ Dreadnought fire which is 30 times stronger than the Hiroshima nuke but people are suggesting to nuke the Reaper.

We all die. Eventually.

EDIT: It seems I've messed up my lore.

OHH LETS FIRE THE TSAR BOMBA AT IT

Sovereign could take the firepower of one fleet. The nuke would seriously have to exceed a fleet's firepower. And that still leaves the ground situation. The Reaper can easily redirect it's fire for a second to hit ground forces.

Nukes? pfft. Use an Anti-matter Bomb. Costly, yet effective.
