Mass Effect 3 Walkthrough

This is my favorite guide on the Citadel. Our Mass Effect 3 Walkthrough covers the entire spectrum of the single player story, multiplayer tips, and how to build a powerful army.
Thessia
First head to the Citadel and speak with the Asari councilor to learn about the problems on Thessia. She's located inside Undia's old office. After the talk, fly over to Thessia and deploy along side Liara. Ashley, Garrus, or James will be work as a second partner.
Upon landing on the planet search the area for a free Umbra visor and loot the nearby supplies. Head over to the small band of Asari and speak to Kurin to find what's happenings. Reapers will soon emerge and you'll need to man the turret and defend the crushed barrier. Take out the smaller husks first and then concentrate on the larger brutes.
Head across the bridge and you'll do battle with more enemies. The bulk of the Reaper forces will be marauders and cannibals, but still be mindful of the few banshees that emerge. These are the same enemies you've fought time and again, so stick with the same strategies from the past.
Grab the med kits, salvage the computer, and hack your way to the next area. You'll have support from an Asari sniper that will distract a number of Reapers. For the most part stay up high, destroy the barrier engines, and order Liara to deploy constant singularities. Search the area for a shotgun high caliber barrel and move down to gain the M-98 widow.
Around the next corner you'll gain support from an Asari fighter that will blast through a good number of enemies. Still, you should concentrate on taking on the banshees before they get in too close. Head up the ramp and take the assault rifle extended barrel. Destroy the remaining husks and marauders before moving on.
Harvesters will soon arrive and annihilated your Asari support. Destroy the barrier engines first and any husks that attempt a rush. Next take out the harvesters with your strongest weapons and take the SMG heat sink. With the Reapers down, you'll have passage to the Asari temple.
Inside the temple, take the medi gel laying around. You need to search several statues inside to unlock the secrets of Athame. First check the center statue, followed by the artifacts on the far left, right and back at the entrance.
Kai Leng will soon attack, but isn't a threat at all. Use any form of distraction attack such as building a turret or proximity mines and the assassin won't even get close. Still, get in to cover quick each time the drop ship emerges to provide Leng with support fire or a barrier recharge. With Liara on your side, this fight won't last very long.

Kurtis Seid is a sadomasochist for games. He’s clocked over 200 days in a Final Fantasy entry but isn’t sure if he’s actually a fan of the series. His ideal game would somehow involve the harshest elements of King’s Quest, Team Fortress, River City Ransom, Ogre Battle, and Dark Souls.

@ Verne: Well the Rannoch end level boss of course. The giant laser beaming one. It was really hard to defeat it and this certain walkthrough was not a big help, so I checked wiki and found some useful tips. There was no chance that I could beat the boss without tips from wiki.
@khatibi22 Hmph ... I replied to this but don't know where my reply went.
Go to the left of the chasm and target the the boss with the designator.
As I recall, he shoots low and raises his aim point until he hits you. Before the laser gets high enough to hit you, cartwheel to the right and continue targeting him. He should get slammed from space before his laser gets you.
For the next round, go to the right side of the chasm and target him. Target him with the designator and cartwheel to the left when his laser gets close to you and continue targeting him. Again he should get stomped before his laser toasts you.
Go back to the left and repeat.
As I recall, once you get a hang of the pattern to use it's not terribly difficult.
I have tried several times but somehow I can't figure out the right way to defeat this boss:| any tips?
The main, of many, problems with this guide is the label on the titles. Yes, it`s Canada. But, where in Canada? Vancouver! What a surprise!! Seriously, more attention to detail and a lot less sloppyness, Mr. Seid. For Example, Cerberus base mission...ok, well ,um which of hundreds of planets was that?
I just watched two of the new ending cinematics, there are now four major endings. Apparently it is now possible to choose badly enough to lose the entire war against the Reapers. Try it, choose all Renegade responses at the end and watch what happens.
Great guide, fail to see everyone's problem with the ending, you defeat the Reapers and get a life, the end
@wavelength121 DUH, there are no clear details, just generalized findings. Completely unprofessional.
its there anyway to hide these commens, they are longer than the guide pages. It makes the pages load alot slower with extra stuff i dont even want
When dealing with the 2 brutes and the marauders just before finding General Victus on Menae (Palaven's moon), there is a reaper blackstar heavy weapon located on the right hand side of the map for you to use. So use it!! On insanity, it becomes a necessity!
@Dead_Locked795 this was, by far, the most helpful suggestion. Thanks! Too bad this guide was not even close to that. What a waste of space, and this fool gets paid to give mediocre advice.
1 Like How come the Table of Contents only goes up to Geth Dreadnaught? That's the exact point I'm at in the game, and the only reason I looked at this guide was to see how many missions I have left to get to this terrible terrible ending I keep hearing about!
@ali0918: Are you mad? The ME series is one of the few true eletronic roleplaying games we have. Yes, RPG stands for roleplaying game. In Mass Effect series: - Roleplaying? Check. I don't know much games that gives me so many choices about what kind of character I want to be with so many ways to demonstrate it. - Does your choices make difference? While most eletronic "RPG" we see out there gives you choices but they simply doesn't matter at the end, in ME your choices actually shapes and changes the world around you, and also what you'll have to do to accomplish some objectives. So this game is not rpg? You either have got to be kidding me or you simply doesn't know the meaning of the acronym.
1 Like please, rearrange the table of contents so we can navigate easily through the guide.
1 Like NEW ITEM PICKUP: after entering the broken airlock and taking out the Cerb punks, turn around to the left and look around the sink to find a SMG Scope upgrade.
Your After Geth Dreadnought scans are the same as your After Sur'Kesh. You should really take a look at that!
1 Like Looks like Gamespot gave up on this guide just like they gave up on the Skyrim guide
Mass Effect actually is part of a sentence, Mass effect on the unconscious youth of today.
@tex242 Yeah, some having to be completed before you embark on your next big mission ot they'll be gone. A shame the strategy guide didn't tell me that in the first few pages....
also for the record people who are saying they didnt get the special ending yet who did multi you need to have between 4-5k war assets forget which it is
in case GS forgot to mention it in their walk through... make sure you do multiplayer and get 100% war readiness... that will allow you to CHOSE the GREEN light which is BY FAR the Prettiest of the 3
[spoiler] Renegade Interrupt: kill Kai Leng, Don't press Renegade Interrupt: Kill Kai Leng. CHOICE! [/spoiler]
OKK ME MY SELF DONT CARE IF IT WAS GOOD OR BAD ENDING BUT I WISH FOR BIOWARE TO GET US NEXT TIME A ONE DECIDED ENDING, AT LEAST THE ENDING, SO WE COULD REST IN PEACE
Everyone complains about the ending saying that is wreaks the game completely. I think that yes, the ending was quite disappointing, but it didn't erase the fun I had getting up to that point. It is still a good, fun and powerful game I had a really good time with. In my opinion it's the journey not the destination.
@djforlife84 You are so right, god forbid we ask for quality for the price they demand. It is also so unreasonable and selfish to ask them to live upto the promises they made pre-launch. You have made me realize the error of my ways and from now on I will accept the pile of crap they give me, and will even smile and thank them, because we all know we got where we are today by accepting everything as-is.
1 Like Just for laughs...what will ending a beloved series the way Bioware did in future be called? Pulling a Bioware? Pulling a Hudson? Embracing Enternity? ?
Let me see... -Blue explosion or -Green explosion or -Red explosion decisions...decisions...decisions
@djforlife84 100% agree with you. I hope bioware doesn't alter the ending in the slightest. Sometimes gamers look like 3 year old kids who enrage for a bag of crisps or candy.
@ag_04 @djforlife84 you sound like retirees being told what to accept and having no choice but to accept it. `Off to the retirement home for you sailor, and no, you have no say in the matter because we know what`s right! for you`... LMFAO, I rather be a child that fights for his rights than a fool that gets herded to nowhere. Really, think about. They`re abusing your rights as a consumer and you just take it. WEAK.
1 Like P.S. I played all 3 games with same character. With all DLC installed. I actually played them in a roe... in the month before ME3... so do not dare telling me i don't understand what ME is. Thank you.
@djforlife84 i totally agree with you. Some opinions are so puerile. I actually loved the ending. Seeing Joker and EDI made Shepard's sacrifice (if he really did die) worthy. I hate the ending because it doesn't give me more details. What happened next. What happened to Shepard and the others... But there are ways to explain all these later... just keep the hope burning. These Stop Koni, Stop Acta kids now want to change a game ending!? What next... petition Tolkien to bring Boromir back to life?
@CornelMosneag Really, your comparing a literary work of art to a commercial sell out. Do you even know the difference? Obviously not.
