The solution to defeating the reapers shouldn't be obvious to us gamers. As such we do need to find to the most unlikely scenario. And I think I have found one. ;)

Your ally will be the Shadow Broker. He has the resources to back you up and provide you with the SR-3 and crew. The Shadow Broker has the motivation. If the reapers destroy everything then it would be bad for business. The Shadow Broker has all the information you need. In ME3 the Shadow Broker instructs you to go after the Leviathan of Dis which disappeared after the batarians got hold of it. It turns out that Leviathan was a member of a genetically engineered race that were created to break the destructive cycle of the reapers. In the remains of the starship you'll find clues how to bio-engineer new ones. The Alliance finally agrees to go after the reapers after seeing the evidence and builds a fleet of them. This fleet will proof to be strong enough to defeat the reapers. Of course with Shepard as the admiral they cannot fail.


Unless Liara smacks him with biotics in some DLC

You have to drink a magic elixir made out of husks and then destroy one yourself... otherwise it's soul will move into the closest husk.

Oh well, I guess it's back to the 'lure them to a supernova' plan.



i dont understand why people think "using a supernova" is even a remotely viable plan.

if a mass relay is able to survive a supernova.... built by reaper technology, who's to say that some reapers themselves don't have the same durability?

reaper council: "we need to protect these mass relays in case a star explodes near them"
reaper: "how do we do that?"
reaper council: "we use our superior technology of course"
 
...
..


reaper: "why havent we used this 'technology' for our hull armor?"
reaper council: "because the writers of this story have painted themselves in a corner. and besides, its way too expensive. obviously the mass relays, being the key to advancing OTHER sentient civilizations is far greater in importance than securing our own."

Shepard gets implanted with Reaper technology and ascends to the level of the Old Gods. He becomes one with the Reaper collective...and then kills himself to destroy them.



The End.

Or you can have Sephiroth from Final Fantasy VII cast Supernova and kill the Reapers. The End.

cerberus will have to adapt the collector technology and share it with the council races so they can use it against the reapers, but only if they truly recognise the reaper threat, otherwise they would use the tech to conquer the entire galaxy, especially the terminous systems.

look at what the turian turret upgrade for the normandy did to the collector ship, hell a few upgrades could do the same to a reaper.



i imaging there are reapers of all shapes and sizes, from nano machines to planet sized ships.

I had this idea about the shadow broker as a major player in ME3 long ago. All that stuff about bad for business, lots of money and shadows. But then, I thought it would be such a rip-off off KOTOR2. No...

Instead...! I know how we will win against an army of 1000 reapers. They will need to realize our value and Surrender!!! Just like the Minbari in Babylon 5 and many others. Because we are special! We've got beautiful women, we've got Emotions and the thing called Love! All aliens want that! Cylons from Battlestar Galactica, Minbari from Babylon 5, all the others from Stargate Atlantis. Everybody are ready to give up anything just to be like humans! The Reapers will realize that soon enough, surrender and then we will intruduce our values of Humanity all over the Universe and rule the World!

The story does have some shades of Babylon 5. That ended with an Alliance of sentient races to face the Shadows/Vorlons and eventually talking directly to them. I doubt the Reapers are able to be talked to though, and there is no counteracting force like the Vorlons (beings of light) against them either....

The Reaper Sovereign took dozens of direct hits from mass accelerator blasts, lasers, missiles, torpedoes and everything a human fleet could throw at it.  It was only when Sovereign's "avatar" in Saren died that the shields seemed to finally fall.  if one ship could sustain all that damage, imagine what 1,000 could do...

...that hasnt been writen into the storyline yet.

i guarantee you ME3 will require a GIGANTIC ass pull in order to complete the story.

because as it stands there is absolutely nothing in ME1 or ME2 that logically would be able to explain how to defeat the reapers so far.


...unless "defeating" the reapers is not the point
*facepalm*

Who do you think your avatar is with his blue eyes, if not a Vorlon?

Well ... I have this idea about fast-growing moss that actually eats away Reaper metal. Fast. Once they have a few hundred spores settled on their hull, they'd better turn around and give any star a wide berth, or the light will make the moss grow and eat them.

Of cause it would be a good thing if that moss found Alliance hull metal less delicious ...

As Jeff Goldblum said in Jurassic Park I:

I'm simply saying that life, uh... finds a way.

Open relay, have them think oh ****, someone finally opened it, let's go destroy them! Then have a black hole/super nova waiting for them on the other side.

Shepard will turn into a huge metalic Space Reaper and fight the Reaper fleet in a colossal space fight!...

Seriously now, I don't know if we'll be able to destroy the Reapers but we must be able to prevent their invasion somehow... Crack into their systems and make them wonder in space forever...

I like what @krol146 said before:

«Or maybe we find out that we can stop them all by killing Harbinger. It wouldnt surprise me if the ending of ME3 consists of Shepard racing towards something that can kill Harbinger, while the rest of the galaxy has united to hold the reapers off and buy us time.»

That would be cool, a desperate run as you and your crew board into Harbinger itself and fight everything on board in a crazy attempt to prevent Earth's final destruction... dudes, I'm envisioning the thing right now... in the end the Harbinger is out of control and dives into Earth's atmosphere with you on board and you have to jump in a mad skydive before the final crash...

But then again, maybe I saw this in Halo before!... lol

Wrex will be launched out of a Mass Relay directly into the reaper fleet resulting in a headbutt so epic that time itself tares. Reality's collapse in on each other stars explode blackholes are formed and an alternate reality is created that all the Reapers are sucked into and all they can do is watch threes company for all eternity. Wrex on the other hand is propelled back at lightspeed and lands safely on Tuchanka were he dawns a Top hat and Monocle seen here Image IPB and goes to classy dinner party and discusses the finer things over finger sandwiches and champagne.



inb4 best ending ever I know.
