Step 1- evacuate Citadel

Step 2- tow Citadel into a star

Step 3- open conduit

We should force them to all watch an episode of "Will and Grace" that way they will just kill themselves.

I like your thinking, or an episode of The View would work, or a Michael Moore film. Then the reapers will realize they have returned too soon and there are not enough sentient organic lifeforms in the galaxy yet worthy enough to exterminate.

Our fleet of Deus ex Machinae will take the Reapers on in an epic, nonsensical battle with lots of explosions!



(a little bit) More seriously, we lure them to a sector of space and cause several stars to explode with Dark Energy.

It's simple



Kill the Batman.

We'll load our ships with railguns that can fire a deadly new round: minature giant space hampsters!

The only way to defeat a fleet of Reapers is with another fleet of Reapers. Logically, the organics will have to find a way to turn the Reapers against themselves.

Second option: Find a way to keep them trapped in dark space or to otherwise prevent them from getting to you.

Anything else will be deus ex machina. No last minute superweapons please.

Somehow link a mass relay to the center of a collapsing star and trick them into jumping into it unknowingly? They can exist through the Omega IV relay only because they are aware of the danger and put up energy fields to keep from being crushed/torn apart, right?

I see it happening two ways:
For Paragons, it's a massive cross-species coalition: The geth and quarians have a joint fleet (I'm assuming a paragon can have them kiss-and-make-up) in combination with the turians and humans, with the Destiny Ascension as the flagship. The krogans (hopefully lead by Wrex), cured from the genophage thanks to Mordin saving Maelon's work, lead the ground forces along with the rachni (imagine krogans riding rachni into battle, that would be sweet), as well as turian, human, and geth troops. A massive, all out war ensues, and only be the co-operation of all the species do we prevail.

Big bowl of stupid right there. You would actually want to cure the genophage? It wouldn't matter if the Reapers were defeated, the Krogan would soon either conquer the galaxy and kill everyone, or be killed while trying. Krogan wage war. It's in their blood, the genophage is for a reason.

Agreed. That's would be like the people on "Lost" putting Hurly in charge of food supplies.

Big deal. They've already recalibrated the genophage how many times now? Once it's over Mordin or some other salarians can just do it all over again.

It actually sounds like a good idea but I still don't see how Bioware will handle it in ONE game .
Seems a bit rushed to me if they magically find a new technology to manipulate the relay in order to trap the Reapers .

I wish Bioware would do 4 games instead of 3 ... but it has already been planned as a trilogy right ?

[StraightEdgeUK]

We won't. Reapers will win. Sucks to be us.

[DaBigDragon]

The term "Dark Energy" kept coming up in the game and it was never explained how or why Haestrom's star was being affected by Dark Energy. I think that will come into play in ME3.

[superimposed]

There has to be a massive end-of-the-galaxy battle, there just has to be. It's what everyone's been looking forward to since the first game.

And Shepard will go in and blow the **** out of the biggest reaper, I suppose, which will do something magical elsewhere.

I don't even get how the Krogan and the Rachni will help.

Rachni are building a fleet. The Krogan... will totally headbutt the Reapers into submission.

Yes and Zidane Shepherd will join them in headbutting the reapers ftw

[Calibisto]

We evacuate the citadel (or not <- Renegade option) and close the arms as they jump through.
Just like some sort of protective Iris

Tow a Mass Relay into the event horizon of a black hole and hack all the Mass Relays to lead to that one! And pray they can't get out of it.

[goatman42]

Remember how TIM talked about some super weapon that killed the derelict Reaper and created the crater on that planet? Shepard's going to have to figure out where it is.

[Peranor]

My guess is that there will be yet another suicide mission where we will have to fly a small shuttle and dock with the huge reaper mothership. Once docked with the mothership we will have to upload a computer virus that is surprisingly compatible with reaper technology. The virus will then cause the defense and shields on all reaper ships to completely shut down, and they will then become easy picking for the combined alliance and quarian fleet. Oh, and don't forget that you will also be able to launch a timed nuke inside the mothership before you make a narrow escape from the massive blastwave and flying debris.

like setting the galaxy up and have them prepare for another millenia before they are there.
im really interestd and curious how bioware will solve this

Get drunk.

You mean "get loud and spill some drinks on the Citadel"? I wasn't sure if that actually means getting drunk as well.

[Mox Ruuga]

For a credible solution, the writers can't resort to ship vs. ship fleet combat against the Reapers. To do that, the Reapers would have to be wussified beyond belief. I laugh at people suggesting the use of the migrant fleet in combat against the Reapers. There are "hundreds" of warships among the 50000 total, most of those probably obsolete by even batarian standards. The rest are civilian carrying freighters and barges.

My theory is making suns go supernova with dark energy.

Create "honey trap" worlds for Reapers, sacrificing millions of people as they gather to bombard them from orbit, but wiping them out by destroying the suns themselves by suicide teams. For the ultimate sacrifice, make Sol one of the possible "trap" systems, with Shepard leading that team. As to how the Reapers would be lured to those systems? Can't guess... But the theme for ME3 will be sacrifice in the name of the ultimate victory. You'll see.

[Lellandra]

I believe it will be the same way we indoctrinated the Heretic Geth.



I don't see us fighting an army of Reapers since half our people dying fighting just one.

[Flamewielder]

Assuming the difference in behavior between Sovereign and Harbinger illustrates differences among the Reapers, and looking at how Geth were shown to have different opinions on any subject, I'm willing to bet some Reapers will be questioning the value of maintaining the cycle. The analog I have in mind is the Core, from the Hyperion novels by Dan Simmons, where AIs eventually end up fighting one another over wether Humanity should be wiped out or not.



As to Quarians and Geth co-existing, they do not have to do so on the same planets: Geth don't breathe, they don't need to eat or drink. In short, they don't even require the same planets organics do. They can visit and trade, but that's really up to them. They have no need for organics and theyr're not competing with them either... no wonder the Geth remained behind the Veil for so long!



So much for the Citadel war-mongerers who thought the Geth were preparing an invasion... I bet they're feeling rather insulted for being considered unimportant by the Geth!

[BattleVisor]

We need lots of Thanix cannons!

[Suron]

sadly it'll probably be some deus ex machina weapon that makes us win....not a head-to-head fight.



and just because the Thanix weapon worked well against a Collector ship in no way means it'll be as affective against Reapers.



"we have dismissed that claim"

[vigna]

Geth and Quarians create a virus, the Rachni and alliance act as distractions with numbers and thanix cannons and dreadnoughts, Krogan are brute force for the geth and Quarian boarding parties. Salarians develop a cure for the genophage in return for krogan help, and also develop a chemical that makes reapers squishy. Commando untis from the asari and turians help take out any land based important stuff, or space machinery the reapers may have.
Shep and crew are along for each step or Shep assigns his friends as key players for each step of the journey.

They can also develop mass effect weapons that deal planet size devastation which could also mess up a reaper fleet.
