*BUMP*
I was JUST having INSANE amounts of pain on this part. (On Insanity)
Im running it as an Engineer and I was using Garrus and Miranda as squadies, but their powers load back SO SLOW its retarted. And yes the HUSKS seem to be the biggest problem, im not worried about the Scions other then them putting me in the red now and then, but only when the husks finally manage to mob me have i died. Not to mention no matter how i try the squadies either get mobbed by the husks or killed by the scions. Such a pain.

Just completed Horizon on Insanity yesterday. Took me LOTS and LOTS of reloading to finally beat the Praetorian! I was an Engineer and had Grunt and Mordin. Not sure if my selection of squadmates caused me the trouble. In the end, I dont really recall how I won. Purely luck i guess. Funny thing is, I think I may have won in the end by not using my Particle Beam. Used Grunt's Squad Inferno Ammo and normal weapons. Or maybe I did use the Beam once in awhile... was too mentally exhausted reloading the game several times that I forgot exactly how I won!

My trick for that part was swapping the particle weapon back to the grenade launcher. Much more effective against the husks. When you get to the pretorian, just kite it around the tower and put your squad mates at a distance so that they don't get hit when it powers its barriers back up. It will focus on you and your job is just staying in cover. I am playing insanity/adept.

Cryo ammo (or cryo blast, basically anything that will freeze a target) will insta-kill husks when they freeze. Scions is simply a matter of avoiding them until you've dealt with the husks. The Avalanche is also a nice alternative since it does massive damage to armor, stripping them of it and freezing multiple targets.

In answer to fighting the scions and husks at the end, I found a way of completely avoiding this part.
The fighting doesn't start until you reach the bottom of the stairs, but if you zoom in on a sniper rifle, you can actually see a small part of the two scions.
What I did was just send my squad mates (Miranda and Grunt) as far forward as I could towards the scions. Since I hadn't crossed the bottom of the stairs they didn't attack but Grunt shot at them. I couldn't push Miranda that far forward, she kept getting stuck at cover but I used her biotics by zooming in on the rifle and hitting RB whilst zoomed in, since some/all? squadmates abilities seem to work depending on your own line of vision not theirs.
Obviously you can't see the health bar but they will die eventually (scions take ages on insanity anyway). If you want proof just shoot them a couple of times then run in and you'll see the health bar has reduced. Also, I don't know how effective this would be without a sniper, since it would be hard to position squadmates and you wouldn't be able to see the scions yourself.
After killing them run in and therell be no husks so you can go straight up to the terminal.

That is actually viable information. No Necro-Lecture this time, though this would have deserved an own thread and not be buried in the depths of this one.

Don't forget Neural Shock. Probably the best 1 skill point power around. Instant stop for organics. Instant kill for husks (without defenses, of course). Very short cooldown period.

Btw you can kill the scions before u enter the "fight" but u waste collector beam doing it :<. Just as you walk into the area move to the right hand side while still at entrance and u can see their bodies and just point click good night scion (they wont attack either, it's fun )
*Edit* Just noticed this info was posted up a few posts didnt spot it

Immediately sprint to the elevated platform on the left side. Kill the two husks there. Then focus all your fire (and your allies) on the rightmost Scion. It will drop just before any more husks reach you if you're using the heavy pistol and if you're using heavy weapons (missile launcher is the best) you can drop both at this point in time.
After that sprint back to the corner to the left of where you entered, sort of the other side of the map and far away from the remaining Scion. Keep backpeddeling and killing the husks that approach you while keeping your distance to the one Scion left (if you did not opt for heavy weapons and killing them both).
Once all the Husks are dead the last standing Scion can be dealt with in any way. This tactic works with any character with any allies with any skills. I have done it with all classes on insanity this way without using heavy weapons, pause or unity.
Throw works the same way (with husks).

The hardest part of the game for now (without counting N7: Smuggled Cargo....). Took at least 2-3 hours to complete, one hour dedicated to the end of the mission. That Praetorian is an ass. And I was an adept!
Anyone know what are the next hardest missions? Collector Ship and Suicide Mission?

Yeah, Horizon finale it's the hardest part on any difficulty. So far I beat twice on Insanity. As Engineer. I'm always use the Collector rifle and my squadmates Warp or Incidiary (like Zaeed spec skill). The trick is you move from crates to crates, take down fast the Husks. After that... it's only patience and time. Move cover, shoot, cover, shoot.
The hardest part is the Collector ship when the Preatorian attacks. Technically no cover, Huskd and Collectors attacks. Last time it was sucks or me, because I don't get the Collector particle beam. :S And I'm always use Pistols then any normal weapon. Anyway, if you play as Engineer you can spam them with Attack Drones.
