Before I get to my real question, I'll ask this first:

I only need 2 vanilla trophies. That is the insanity trophy, and the one that you get by completing every single player mission on insanity (aren't they the same thing?).

Anyway, I was wondering if I also need the DLC trophies to get the platinum trophy. This is because the only DLC I have is ''From Ashes''. 

 

Now back to the original point of this, do you have any Insanity tips? Like, which class should I use to obtain supreme victory? 

Please, leave some tips.

[Catastrophy]

Pick a class you like. Play MP and go back to SP - you'll be surprised how easy SP appears to be. I picked Vanguard for my 1st Insanity playthrough but the easiest is probably Infiltrator.

[RanetheViking]

I think one trophy is for N7 side missions completed which you don't have to complete to finish the game. 

 

As for tips - I'd go with the class you're most comfortable playing. The Sentinel is a good choice for me3, but go with what you know if you are unsure. 

Use an import save so you can start at a higher level. 

Try and use your squad mates effectively. Or use them as decoys if you want to keep everything at range.

Insanity isn't too bad really, just take your time and keep at it and you'll get there.

 

Easy method - get the Typhoon and equip squad mates with it. Watch them kill everything.

The two trophies are: complete the game on insanity; and complete all N7 missions on insanity. It is very possible to complete the game without doing any N7 missions. I got the insanity trophy on one playthrough but not the N7 trophy because I skipped one of the N7 missions (the Ontorom mission). My next time playing I was on hardcore for most of the game, but changed the difficulty to insanity before landing on Ontorom which then gave me the N7 trophy.

 

As far as tips go: learn combos. Who can combo with Shepard, and which powers they have with the fastest cool downs. For instance, Liara (Singularity) and Javik (Pull) + Biotic Shepard (Vanguard, Sentinel, Adept) can be comboing every few seconds. Here is Javik and Liara on Surkesh. Liara is a one woman force of destruction if you have Throw available. Here is Sentinel Shepard and Liara destroying Cerberus on Eden Prime.

 

For an Engineer, Garrus with concussive shot (6.5 second cool down) and EDI (area incinerate wtih 9.5 second cool down) are good team mates. Ashely with concussive shot and inferno grenades also pairs well with an Engineer.

[Qwib Qwib]

Ah, I have indeed heard of the infiltrator's particular ease at Insanity. I do play some Infiltrators on MP, but I don't think I do very well with them. I have no clue how to play them. So, it's cloak -> headshot?

Thanks for clarifying the trophies. I would never guess that was for N7 missions. I never do them. In any case, I can do combos. Fire Explosions are among my favourites.

If you are going for FEs, then I would recommend Shepard as the Primer, which means either Infiltrator or Engineer. I suppose Soldier could work with incendiary ammo, though I have always found incendiary ammo a chancy primer. EDI can prime with incinerate (and I use her for that with my Sentinel) but she has a 9.5 second cool down. Shepard, OTOH, can prime every 2.5 seconds with incinerate and then you can use Liara (Warp, 6.5 seconds) or Garrus/Ashley (concussive shot, 6.5 seconds) to detonate.

 

Added: speaking of FEs:

 

[Mordokai]

You play Gold on regular basis.... Insanity should be a breeze for you. I mostly play Silver and can do Insanity easily. So don't worry.

 

Try not too cheese too much. Typhoon is broken, keep away from it. Same for Venom. Remember than squadmates don't charge weapons, so those weapons loose some punch in their hands. As said, use combos. BEs, FEs, IEs... the lot of them. They gonna make the game much easier. Learn to manage your friends. Their AI is kinda stupid. They rush enemies more often than they should, which can be quite deadly to them, especially weaker one. I'm looking at you Liara. I mean, I love that girl, but her krogan blood really comes to fore in this game

 

Don't do anything that would get you killed in MP and you're gonna be fine. Remember, you can stop time and survey the battlefield, something you can never do in MP. Than alone is big advantage to you.

[SilJeff]

Yeah, Insanity just requires Priority missions. Unwavering  requires every mission that involves combat.

 

However, with Unwavering, you can freely change the difficulty without screwing yourself out of the trophy because all you need to do is finish the mission on Insanity. So, if you are unable to get both at the same time, another idea would be to get Unwavering in a practice playthrough. Play the whole game, including N7 and non-priority combat missions [by that I mean Grissom Academy, Ardat Yakshi Monastery, etc.], and if you get stuck, bump down to hardcore, then go back up to insanity at the end of the mission.

 

This way you can get a feel for the game on harder difficulties, then go for the insanity trophy where you can't switch difficulties.

 

I always use NG+ when I am doing insanity playthroughs. That way I can start out at level 60, and the easiest class to do insanity is Infiltrator I've found thanks to cloaking

[Vazgen]

The biggest challenge is avoiding direct enemy fire. Enemies tend to throw grenades at your position with remarkable accuracy, forcing you out of cover and exposing for direct fire and removing the passive damage reduction you get when in cover. That's where Infiltrator's cloak works wonders, you can move around freely without worrying about getting shot. Power combos are a great way to deal with enemy forces, use them often. The officer level enemies (Marauders, Centurions) are much better shooters than grunt level enemies (Assault Troopers, Cannibals). Focus your fire on them first. Work alongside your squadmates, use their powers to set up or detonate power combos. Don't rely much on their weapon damage since it's lowered for them. Don't focus on health bonuses, instead focus on shields and shield recharge. 

[Excella Gionne]

It's pretty much between Silver and Gold difficulty. If you can play Gold, you'll survive Insanity.

[themikefest]

I've played insanity with all classes except sentinel. Soldier was the easiest and engineer was the most fun

 

On March 17th 2012, I got the Insanity, Unwavering and Platinum trophies.

 

For my insanity run I played as a soldier with a level 10 Mattlock and level 10 raptor sniper rifle. I had cyro ammo for my weapons. I don't recall what my bonus power was.

 

This is the mission order I played

Earth

Mars

Palaven

Sur'Kesh

Grissom

Turian Platoon

Genophage

Coup

The reason why I did it this way was to have Ashley back on my squad as quickly as possible. After the coup, I used Ashely and James on every mission, even all the N7 missions which earned me the unwavering trophy, unless another character had to be on the mission.

 

The missions that gave me the most trouble, was the atrium part of Grissom, the 3 Primes and London fighting the Banshees and Marauders. The last fight before activating the 2nd set of missles, I stood behind the phone booth and fired at the enemy with very little resistance.

 

I would suggest taking your time and use your squadmates as much as possible.

 

No you don't need any dlc trophy to obtain the platinum

[SporkFu]

Play as engineershep. The hardest part will be deciding how you want the bad guys to die.
EDIT: get to cover as quick as you can when the fighting starts. When you see a grenade coming at you, G. The. F**k. O.

[Kabooooom]

In ME3, Vanguard is unstoppable. I have to deliberately handicap myself to make Insanity challenging.

[Valmar]

A lot of good suggestions here. What I suggest will probably be more-of-the-same in relation to what has already been suggested.
 
Perhaps to easiest method you could go with is a full biotic squad. Though, imo, this would be overkill. Biotic Explosions are insanely effective. Personally I didn't feel like changing my class (infiltrator) so I just tagged Shepard with the bonus power from Javik and paired it with Liara's nearly instant and constant cast of singularity. Pretty much everything in my path was decimiated. Plus, as an infilitrator, I could hack pesky turrents and cloak. I can only imagine what a breeze the game could had been if it was full on biotic squad.

 

The only downside of this (other than perhaps being a bit too easy) is that you may be forced to pair with squadies you otherwise don't use. I prefer playing with Garrus and Tali but neither of them had biotics so I had to bring in Liara (not a huge fan, personally). On the plus side, at least in my experience, her and that amazing sigularity was all I needed to wreck the place so I was free to let Garrus or Tali tag along and not feel forced to bring Javik or Kaidan for the extra biotic support.

 

Honestly I would say Liara is OP but considering that for a lot of players she could potentially be the ONLY biotic in the squad (Kaidan may be dead and not everyone has From Ashes) I think it makes up for it.

 

Even if you don't use biotics at all, however, I doubt you'll have any trouble with Insanity if you played a lot of Multiplayer silver+. Insanity USED to be a challenge for me, I used to feel proud of myself for beating it... then I played some gold matches and now insanity feels like a cake walk. I don't really see that as a positive for MP (I think the difficulties are TOO much, honestly) but it certainly made my singleplayer experience better simply by making me a better player. Personally I have a harder time playing Silver sometimes then I do insanity. Note, however, that my insanity playthroughs were with a maxed New Game+ character so my Shepard was considerably more OP.

Not a lot of walls to perform right hand advantage with in Story Mode. 

 

Soldier: A very adaptive playstyle that offers high weapon damage boosts. Use ammo powers to your advantage to deal with most defenses, and use Concussive Shot to create Tech bursts, Fire explosions, and Cryo Explosions with ammo powers. The Soldier is good for all situations, but not so good for crowd controlling as Frag Grenades are finite and on harder difficulties grenades do not replenish as often. Make sure to spec for a more survivable Soldier.

 

Adept: Biotic Explosion expert. Offers very damaging biotic explosions that contributes to crowd control. The best at chipping away armor and barriers, but poor against shields, but that won't be much of a problem. It would be best that you don't bring tech squadmates too often as their powers may override your priming biotic powers(mainly Warp).

 

Vanguard: If you want to play the close-range style, you're gonna have to learn to Nova-cancel a lot, and learn when to Biotic Charge and when to not. Use Incendiary Ammo to create some Fire Explosions with Biotic Charge and Shockwave. The Vanguard is good at crowd control, but is not that good at it if Nova is not used carefully or at all.

 

Sentinel: Survivable and possesses the necessary powers to crowd control and debuff enemies. A Sentinel's best powers are Tech Armor, Lift Grenades, Cryo Blast, Warp, and Overload. Can create strong Biotic Explosions with Warp and Throw, Tech Bursts with Overload and Warp.

 

Engineer: Very good at crowd control with Overload, Combat Drone, and Sentry Turret. Great debuff with Cryo Blast. Incinerate and Overload will be your two highly used powers, if not. Certain enemies will cause a lot of problems to you like Banshees and Phantoms since they will block your powers most of the time since most your powers are projectile powers.

 

Infiltrator: Very survivable, but also a very high damage dealer with weapons and powers when used with Tactical Cloak. Use Sticky Grenades for dealing quick massive damage(Sticky Grenades prime the sticky'd target with the ammo type currently used before detonating(I believe your ammo powers are Disruptor and Cryo)which will cause a cryo explosion or a tech burst depending on the ammo type. Also, upon sticking onto the target, it will do 50% of the damage of the currently held weapon). Create Tech Bursts with Sabotage + Incinerate, or Disruptor Ammo + Incinerate. The Infiltrator is not so good at crowd controlling.

Vanguard is boss

[Qwib Qwib]

Hm. From all of these tips, I think I'll save insanity for my ME2 second playthrough and import it. In the meantime, I have more doubts about the unwavering trophy. So, in the description it says that I have to complete all the single-player missions, but I've been getting posts saying that I need only the N7 missions, and another one saying all the missions that involve combat, which means Grissom and others. That's fine. I can do them, but my question is, do I also need the Priority missions?

Also, my particular Insanity tip: Venom shotgun. Did a nice playthought with the two of them put together. Only 3 medi-gels used on it

You have to do all 27 SP missions. Every one. 

[Nitrocuban]

Soldier got really powerful with the changed fire explosion mechanics. Incendiary Ammo and Concussive Shot with a decent AR (Harrier for max dps) and everything dies in seconds.

Give squad mates Thyphoons and you can stand there and watch them doing your work. Literally.

[Excella Gionne]

If you're very committed to completing your Insanity playthrough, I'd suggest you delete Reckoning and Retaliation DLC for the time being so that you don't need to deal with the B.S. that comes with them. But if you're still going to switch between MP and SP, then make sure to reset when you start to notice a severe drop in frames especially during DLCs. There are some missions that are very intensive and requires a lot of rendering, and if your PS3 is already suffering framerate problems, you might not survive. The memory leak kicks in regardless if you're playing MP or SP. It's just quicker when you play MP.

[Daemul]

It's pretty much between Silver and Gold difficulty. If you can play Gold, you'll survive Insanity.

Nah, Insanity has the exact same stats as Gold, with the exception of shieldgate which is still 100% on Insanity but was reduced to 75% for Gold and Platinum(Why was it reduced again? I know people were complaining about it, but it's not hard to get past). The differences between Insanity and Gold/Platinum come from the fact that;

1. Shepard>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Any MP character. More powers are available to Shepard, giving him more ways to deal with enemies. I remember the first time I played as a Human Vanguard and was facing a Guardian, I went to use my pull+reave+nova combo to remove his shield, prime him then detonate a BE. When I realised that I didn't have pull and reave I was complete shook and started panicking, so I ended up dying lol. I got used to it though.

2. The enemy composition is different. In order to make SP accessible to everyone(which it has to be, since its the main part of the game), mooks make up a majority of the enemies we face. You'll rarely see more than a handful of higher enemy types at one type, with the only exception being the end of Priority Earth, where the Brutes and Banshees spawn on mass. Unsurprisingly, there's a lot of complaints about the end of Priority Earth being too hard lol

3. The weapon balance is different. Even though many of the SP guns did receive the MP changes at some point, there's still many broken as hell guns, which are nerfed in MP. Exhibit A:Venom Shotgun. These broken ass weapons make killing those mooks even easier.

When one comes from a place where they have less powers, they face more boss types enemies and they have weaker weapons, to a place where they are spoilt for choice in the powers department, they face mostly mooks and the weapons are OP, they're going to find it easier even if the enemy stats and capabilities are the same.

Bioware should have had a one time weekend event where we would have been allowed to bring our Shepard's into MP with all his powers and weapons available and not nerfed.. Gold and Platinum would have been cakewalks.

Here is what is required for the Unwavering trophy for the ps3

Spoiler

Unwavering
Finish all multiplayer maps on Gold or all single-player missions on Insanity.


There are a total of 27 missions that you must complete on Insanity difficulty during the single player campaign of this game for this trophy.About half of these missions are story missions and can't be missed, however, there is a large pile of missions that can be missed if you don't take the time to complete them. Its always good to try and keep a backup save as some the side missions will go away if you move too far in the game leaving no way to complete them on the playthrough you are currently playing. Remember once you select the mission, the game autosaves just before the character select screen, so if you go too far, you won't be able to back out and go to a different mission. Below are the 27 missions you need to complete for this trophy, in the order you should complete them in to prevent missing a mission.

You can also unlock this trophy by finishing all 11 waves of all 6 MP maps at the gold difficulty setting. Now let me tell you, this is a huge pain in the ass, especially if you get into a room with a bunch of n00bs that don't know what they are doing. You have to finish the game start to finish on Insanity anyway, so I suggest just unlocking this trophy in the SP portion of the game.

IF YOU HAPPEN TO MISS A MISSION!!! After you finish cussing out the game, you will be happy to know you don't have to replay the entire game on Insanity to get this trophy. As long as you know which mission you missed, you can simply replay the game on Easy. Before you start the mission you need, press the button and head to the Options menu. Now change the difficulty to Insanity and then launch the mission. Once you complete the mission you missed the trophy will unlock and you can change the difficulty back to Easy.

When starting your insanity run, I would suggest that you swich to insanity mode as soon as you have control of Shepard that way you don't forget to change it to insanity because as soon as you leave Earth, it won't count if you change after leaving Earth

This. Long live Novaguards!

Meh. Charge + Nova is the most boring way to play as a Vanguard. I only ever use Nova to detonate BE's, FE's and CE's.
