 So I've been playing insanity and after much hard work I have arrived back on Earth and actually managed to beat the part where you have to defend the missile batteries. I had thought that my troubles were over, but then I got to the part where you have to limp to the beam and take care of three husks and a marauder with only a carnifex and a screen that goes all over the place.

Here's my dilemna, I dont know if it's just me, but, I legitimately cannot seem to get past this. My carnifex is level 10 so it does max damage and I can kill the husks no problem but the marauder must be bugged or something, no matter how many headshots I get, he will not die. The closest I've gotten is get a headshot with every shot consecutively and even then it still wasnt enough because he still shot me and when he did he still had at least half health, maybe 2/5. I've tried this part countless times, and its frustrating because you have to watch the intro cutscene everytime, but moreover no matter what I do, I cant seem to do enough damage to kill him, headshotting or not in the alotted time it gives you to kill him before he shoots again after wounding you the first time.

The most aggrivating thing for me is that, I've come this far, beaten parts far more difficult due to just sheer amounts of reapers/cerberus/geth forces with careful patience and execution of my skills, so I know how to play the game well, but its really annoying to think that I cannot kill one marauder simply because the game wont seem to let me. I've seen vids of people claiming to be beat it on insanity, but for them they kill the husks in two shots and the marauder much faster, now if that's because they might be playing soldier where he probably gets more weapon damage, than I dont think it fair that I cannot beat this simply because I'm an engineer and dont have the same amount of weapon damage, cause I surely do not feel like redoing the game as a soldier just because of that.

I know many of you might read this and think I am venting just because I cant get past it which I do not blame you, I have no evidence to convince you otherwise, and I wish I could upload a capture of me shooting the marauder in the head over and over again only to still die. If it's because I spec'd into power damage and not weapon damage then I really despise that because I do not want to have reload before Earth, respec and do it all over again, cuz it's insanely diffciult and I'd rather not do it all over.

Is anyone at this same part and having a similar situation?! Any feedback would be much appreciated. I almost feel as if this part should be much easier as if to give you a break for playing through the game on insanity, considering how hard it can be at times. This to me is the biggest ****** off, to throw in this one marauder who keeps denying me accomplishment of insanity. If you've actually read all of this I thank you, and again, if anyone is having similar issues or knows some way around this, I'm all ears, thanks.

Sounds like I'm gonna hate that part too.

[mister noodles]

Yea it's quite frustrating, trust me. It's hard to explain the scale of frustration until you've played the whole insanity campaign only to be stopped by one thing that you know you can kill, but for some reason unknown, cant.

[Kronner]

 Make sure you do not miss a single shot. As long as you keep hitting the Marauder, he will not fire back at you.

[VEKTR]

Just keeping shooting at the Marauder and make sure you hit it with every shot... As long as you do that you're fine. Pretty easy to be honest.

[Tleining]

i can understand your frustration, and yes, that should be much easier. Not sure how much help i can be but... how fast are you shooting? I usually take a long time to aim, allow the Marauder to recover from the previous shot, before shooting again. 4 or 5 headshots is then all it takes.

uh, one question though. If you have a Level X Carnifex, doesn't that mean you are on a NG+? Shouldn't you have gotten past that Marauder at least once before then?

[Locutus_of_BORG]

The set piece sequences in this game can be sooo bad.

I did beat the game already, but I didnt do it on insanity.

If that's the case then my game must be doing something wrong cuz i will constantly shoot him and he will still shoot me back

[mister noodles]

As I mentioned, Ive done it several times where I have constantly shot him in the head and he still hasnt died...dont understand.

[Praetor Knight]

Hmm... and you still have this problem with the Marauder, after reloading the most recent save? Has doing something like that not helped?

Otherwise you might try exiting out of the game and then firing it back up to see if was simply something amiss "under the hood" so to speak, if you are then able to progress after doing so.

Good luck at any rate.

[Chaoz1994]

I died 32 times to that bastard. He took me longer than any of the "hard" fights on insanity. If you keep hitting him(and do not miss a single shot) you should be able to kill him. I thought it was a bug at first, but the key is not to miss. Also he needs nerfed. When a marauder can kill me more than two times as many times as Kai Leng and all the Atlases in the game have managed to kill me put together, something's majorly wrong.

[mister noodles]

He just wont die for me, i think my game is glitched then, cuz it doesnt seem to matter if im not missing or not. i still die...effing fantastic.

[mister noodles]

OMG. I finally did it! Thanks for the input guys, I guess it finally decided to work in my favour. Thanks a bunch. Hardest effing part in the game, and all you have to do it just take care of one single enemy...go figure lol.

[badidi71]

Yeah, I just beat it on insanity an hour ago, and I redid that sequence around eight times before finally getting past it. You should follow the advice given here; don't miss a shot and when you're aiming, make sure the reticule is red otherwise you'll miss your shots.

Strange I two shotted the marauder on insanity.

[Malanek]

I agree that is the hardest, and by far most frustrating, part of the game. I died 5 times and turned the difficulty down because I wanted to see the ending. I didn't have any pistol upgrades? Does that make a difference? Shooting him in the head didn't really seem effective even when the cursor changes slightly. I did stagger him once but am pretty sure that wasn't a head shot. Will try shooting slower but am pretty skeptical. The other part I hate is the slow motion, can you save after the husks but before the marauder?

[asyntheticdesign]

Had the same thing happen to me. Im not sure if its a bug or a trigger failing to activate

My notes:
Upon standing up, if you stay on the right side of the pathway the marauder will faceroll you after his initial attack that makes you stumble. I kept taking this path since in my view it seemed to offer the most cover against the marauder(line of sight etc). I died 10x this way.

Out of frustration I just walked down the middle of the path kinda hugging the left side/slightly center and killed the husk that spawned. When the marauder came out, he did his attack that stumbled shep.I hit him with a headshot(this is why I think at trigger failed to activate on the right side) after my first shot that hits him, he stands still and NEVER shoots at me again. I kept firing at him since I didn't want to screw my self out of a kill.

Not sure how everyone else approached this on insanity, but that's how I eventually got the kill.

[SoCalAries]

Bug. Just did that part on Insanity as an engineer with the same spec. Took me 3 tries to make sure I lined up every head shot.

Oh thank the gods, I thought I was the only person who had trouble with this. I finally did it after like 10 attempts. Hardest and most frustrating battle in the game XP

That's the End Game Boss duh 

[Jisan75]

I cant for the life of me do this either, if what jreezy says is true I might try that, lowering difficulty for this part if it doesnt void the achievement.

Gonna give it afew more tries with the tips I got from this thread first, cheers guys.

Congratulations on having not read what the OP or others have said.

What they are talking about isn't the missile launcher part, it is the Marauder just before going into the beam.

I had my first death to him on normal the other day because I was messing about to see what would happen if didn't shoot at him properly. Won't do that again.

I am kind of curious, if you actually have the Carnifex as one of your weapons before that scene and have it modded with a scope does it allow you to go into scoped mode?
