Just started a New Game importing my ME3 character from March of 2012 when I completed SP campaign on Normal difficulty.

At what point in this New Game do I have to switch it from Normal to Insanity to get that achievement? Since I completed SP in March of 2012 on Normal difficulty, I want to use that build to complete SP now on Insanity to get the achievement.

I haven't installed any of the SP DLC yet, so it should go quickly.

(If it helps, before I fired a weapon I changed it to Insanity)

Thank you in advance.

I think you have to change it before you leave Earth.

Yeah. Basically has to be set before Mars, so do it during the Vancouver prologue.

Any other suggestions on making this go as quickly as possible? I have promoted (on Multiplayer) over 900 times (not a typo), so my war strength should be unreal.

^I only promoted 36 times and my war assets from that are in the 2000s. 900 promotions probably puts you well above 10000.

If you're doing SP just for the achievement, then you can skip all the side missions imo. It'll be messy and sad storywise, but you'll still get the best ending.

Yeah, I'd rather go for the achievement quickly, then buy all the SP DLC and play through again as a new character.

If you don't care, just do all the main line missions, don't talk to anyone, etc.

As my sig used to say:
Ah yes, "the best ending." We have dismissed that claim.

Or the conventional victory ending you unlock by finding all the magnesium and potassium in ME1. ;)

I beat the game on insanity my 2nd play through it last march...since then I have played it again a few times but used gibbed save editor just for laughs. You can make insanity a simple breeze with that...just pick your favorite weapon and instead of the max level being 10 (X) make it level 999999 in the editor. Gives you basically unlimited ammo and no weight...but it won't matter, one shot from the weapon kills any enemy in the game. So basically...god mode.

Achievements are broken - at least on the PC they are. I did a SP binge the first few months, then lived in multiplayer for months. When I finally did return to SP and did an Insanity run 2 months ago I never got the badge. Also, that hijack an Atlas badge? I unlocked it then it locked again. Those two will never unlock for me. I hope you have better luck!

(and yeah I've tried various tricks like switching from SP to MP and back and similar, but despite fixing other broken achievements, those two are still broken).

^Same here. A lot of my SP achievements are locked again with no apparent way to redo them.

Not that achievements matter to me at this point, but if you do the achievement and it doesn't show up for whatever reason, I'm just saying that I wouldn't worry too much about it. Origin is a very broken platform.

Beat it on Insanity a couple of days ago. Never thought I'd make it past the Reaper on Tali's homeland (finally watched a youtube clip where they showed it's best to just take two steps one way as the reaper began shooting then roll the opposite direction) -- that was the most times I died, killing Kai Leng (brought terrible weapons into the mission). Restarted mission with better weapons and killed Kai Leng easily after using heavy melee on him at the very beginning. Took me watching a video on youtube to realize that was the pretty much the only way I could get away from him at the beginning of that fight without him sync killing me, or lasering me to death as I ran away from him lol. And since I'm a terrible shot, I had a difficult time killing that one last marauder after killing the 3 husketeers before jumping into the Citidel beam. Realized I just had to stand still and was able to do it in one try.

Tried starting up ME1 again to beat it on hardcore, but that game is so damn tedious I gave up after about an hour. Re-started ME2 as a level 1 character (have never played through SP on any of the 3 games as an Adept) and will see if I can beat the game on Insanity.

Playing ME3 multiplayer to death over the last year+ taught me how to play Mass Effect better.

If you've never played ME2 on Insanity, I wouldn't recommend the Adept for your first attempt. Nearly everything will have one or more protections, which prevent most biotic effects (most importantly, warp explosions). Not saying it can't be done...there are lots of videos and walkthroughs proving that it can. But it's pretty universally regarded as the most difficult class on Insanity in ME2. And ME2 Insanity is harder than ME3, by quite a bit actually.

Samara's Reave will do well for Adepts as a Bonus power. Or use Garrus' Armor-Piercing.

It is proving to be a good challenge. The more I think about it, the more I worry about freeing David, killing the Shadow Broker, and surviving the final ending. The final boss on recruiting Tali might be a bit difficult as well.

I have recruited everyone but Tali, and need to complete tasks for Samara, the guy in the armory, Garrus, and Thane.

Not looking forward to flying the aircraft on Illium, and I believe there's a terrible objective on a planet with a lot of lava that i had a terrible time when I played it a couple of years on normal difficulty.

Otherwise, it was difficult at the beginning, but now that I have leveled up my warp and singularity, I need to buy some more items from the shops. I think I have around 300,000 creds saved up.
