Infinite credits:
—————–
The following trick only works between the two indicated vendors. You can usually
buy items back from Expat at half the price you sold them to Dr. Michel for. First,
successfully complete the side quest involving Dr. Michel (from the Med Clinic) and
her blackmailer. After the quest is complete, you will get a discount from all the
goods she sells. Start selling her all of your expensive equipment. Then, travel to
the Wards Markets, and talk to the merchant named Expat. You can buy all of your
items back for cheaper than you sold them for. Return to Dr. Michel, and sell her
all of your items again. Repeat this process as many times as desired.
Infinite Paragon points:
————————
Go to your Galaxy Map, and travel to the Attican Beta cluster. You will receive
a message from the Alliance Command telling you about a downed recon probe that
you must retrieve a data module from. From there, travel to the Hercules system,
and continue to the planet Eletania. After you reach the downed probe, you will
discover that a monkey-like native has made off with the data module. Get back
in the Mako, and go to your map. You will see three native colonies. Go towards
the one in the middle of the three. Then, go into the mining shaft, and proceed
through the tunnels until you reach the end. Search the two monkeys in that part
of the shaft. One of them will have the data module. Save the game immediately
after getting the module. Then, reload the saved game, and continue to press A
to keep searching the monkey that had the data module. Your Paragon meter over
the radar should increase each time you select the monkey. At approximately 300
Paragon, you will get the Paragon achievement.
Note: If you have already completed this assignment, this glitch cannot be done.
Infinite Paragon and Renegade points:
————————————-
On the Noveria planet, go to the hotel bar, and look for a Turian named Lorik
Qui’in. Accept his quest to steal the data from his office. Once you get the
data, the receptionist will ask you to get Qui’in to testify. Tell her you will
do it, and then talk to Qui’in. Tell Qui’in that he should testify (top left
option). When he refuses, select the Charm option (top left) for Paragon points
or the Intimidate (bottom left) for Renegade points, and end the conversation.
Talk to him again, and ask about the Matriarch. When he gets done talking about
her, select the Other questions option (bottom right). You should now have
the option to ask him to testify again (top left). He will refuse, and you
will be able to use the Charm or Intimidate option again to gain another 24
Paragon or Renegade points. Repeat this process as many times as desired.
You can also easily get the Paragon and Renegade achievements with the
glitch.
Easy experience points:
———————–
To gain extra experience from battles, make sure to get out of the Mako for the
final hit. You can weaken the stronger enemies from inside the Mako and then get
out to finish them off. You will only get 60% of the experience if you kill
enemies with the Mako.
Easy Mako repairs:
——————
If your Mako is badly damaged and you do not want to or cannot spend Omni-gel
to repair it, save your game, and reload it. Your Mako should now be totally
repaired.
Weapon that does not overheat:
——————————
Get a HMWA X assault rifle with Frictionless Materials, Combat Optics X, and
Snowblind Rounds X as upgrades.
Saving weapon points:
———————
If you are a Soldier, level up weapons so you can use their bonuses and no further.
For example, carnage is the shotgun’s bonus. By doing this, you will have extra
points for a desired weapon and points to level everything else completely out.
You do not need the damage and accuracy bonus from the points because when you
become a Spectre the best of every weapon becomes unlocked in the Normandy or
at the C-SEC requisitions office.
Lethal sniping:
—————
Equip any good sniper rifle (powerful and accurate) with High Explosive Rounds
(highest level preferably). This combination will kill nearly every normal enemy
it directly hits, and severely damage enemies in their proximity, if not killing
them as well. For fun, if you shoot at the enemy’s feet or the ground he is
standing directly on top of, he will jettison into the air. Note: High Explosive
Rounds work best only with sniper rifles as they are meant to kill with one shot.
If it is used with a pistol, assault rifle, or shotgun, the weapon will overheat
in less than five shots (depending on the type of weapon), regardless of upgrades
and decency of the gun. This will make yourself vulnerable to enemies.
Recommended weapon upgrades:
—————————-
The best weapon upgrades on any gun are Frictionless Materials X (28% heat damping,
+7% damage), Kinetic Coil X (28% weapon stability, +7% damage), and Slegdehammer
Rounds X (50% weapons force, + 60% poison damage, – 20 heat damping). Overall, the
weapons stats you will end up with are 14% damage, +28 weapon stability, +50%
weapon force, +60 poison, +8% heat damping. The poison damage also prevents
shield regeneration. Also, any of the following combo of any grade is the best.
Finding all elements:
———————
The best way to find the elements, minerals, and anomalies on planets that you can
explore is to drive along the edges of the operational area (the red area). Drive
the Mako in a circle around the area to where you can barely see the edge of the
red line. You should find at least two elements/minerals on each planet that can
be explored. There are rare things that will not show up on your map — you will
also have to drive around like this to find them. There are several more items
than you are required to find, but it is good to go ahead and get them if you need
the experience points. Also, if you say the correct things to the Asari Consort,
she will give you a trinket that will allow you to activate a Prothean Orb found
on Eletania, or the monkey planet, in the Hercules system. It contains the memories
of a Cro-Magnon that was observed by the Protheans.
The Orb will show up as an anomaly on your map, in the lower left corner.
Ensuring experience points and gamerpoints:
——————————————-
After a major plot has been played, make sure to talk to your crew. This will give
you experience points for clues and boost your crew’s morale. There is also a subplot
for romance where you must choose who you want to have a relation with. You may lose
the gamerpoints if you do not talk to the crew.
Puzzle solution in Noveria:
—————————
On the planet Noveria, you must solve a puzzle after you enter the Core at Mira to
restore activity to the compound. The solution is as follows. There are three columns.
Four discs are in the left column. You must move all four discs to column two or
three for the puzzle to be completed. 1 indicates the upper most ring, 4 is
the lowest, etc.
Step 1:
Move 1 to the middle.
Move 2 to the right.
Move 1 to the right on top of 2.
Move 3 to the middle.
Step 2:
Move 1 to the left.
Move 2 to the middle on top of 3.
Move 1 to the middle on top of 2.
Move 4 to the right.
Step 3:
Move 1 to the right.
Move 2 to the left.
Move 1 to the left on top of 2.
Move 3 to the right on top of 4.
Step 4:
Move 1 to the middle.
Move 2 to the right.
Move 1 to the right.
These steps will solve the puzzle with all four discs being in the right column.
Defeating the giant worm in Edolus:
———————————–
During the mission about the missing Marines, you will encounter a large worm creature.
To defeat it, jump just before the projectile acid the worm spits, and attack it with
missiles and constant gunfire.
Defeating Thresher Maw in Edolus:
———————————
The easiest way to defeat the Thresher Maw is after it has initially launched out of
the ground to drive off, stay at a relative distance, and drive circles around it while
firing. Because of your distance, it will not use its long-ranged attack or be able to
cause melee damage. It will go back underground after a time or certain amount of
damage is inflicted and will change the location it pops up. Repeat the circular
attack to get away undamaged.
Reversed Earth:
—————
Once you have landed on Luna, Earth’s moon, look for the view of Earth. When you zoom in
on Earth, noticed that its image is reversed. For example, Florida is where California
should be and vice versa.
Engineers:
———-
Engineers are tech specialists. Using the holographic OmniTool they can decrypt security
systems, repair and/or modify technical equipment, disrupt enemy weapons or shields and
heal their party. Even though they begin the game with only pistols and the OmniTool,
engineers can unlock the ability to wear light armor and to reverse engineer enemy
technology. They can also learn to put up protective shields and to heal the party.
Lethal sniping:
—————
Equip any good sniper rifle (powerful and accurate) with High Explosive Rounds (highest
level preferably). This combination will kill nearly every normal enemy it directly hits,
and severely damage enemies in their proximity, if not killing them as well. For fun, if
you shoot at the enemy’s feet or the ground he is standing directly on top of, he will
jettison into the air. Note: High Explosive Rounds work best only with sniper rifles, as
they are meant to kill with one shot. If it is used with a pistol, assault rifle, or
shotgun, the weapon will overheat in less than five shots (depending on the type of
weapon), regardless of upgrades and decency of the gun. This will make yourself
vulnerable to enemies.
Saving weapon points:
———————
If you are a Soldier, level up weapons so you can use their bonuses and no further. For
example, carnage is the shotgun’s bonus. By doing this you will have extra points for a
desired weapon and points to level everything else completely out. You do not need the
damage and accuracy bonus from the points, because when you become a Spectre the best of
every weapon becomes unlocked for you in the Normandy or at the C-SEC requisitions office.
Soldiers:
———
Soldiers are combat specialists ideal for the front lines of a firefight. Soldiers begin
the game trained with skills in both pistols and assault rifles, they have improved health
and the ability to wear medium combat armor. As you progress through the game you can
unlock assault training, skills with shotguns and sniper rifles, become able to perform
first aid on yourself and party members, and wear heavy combat armor.
