Yeah, the husks are no threat on other difficulties and suddenly in your face on Insanity. It takes an extra shot to kill them and that gives them a much higher chance of getting a hit in on you. There's another level with a tonne of husks, forgot what it's called now. If you've beaten Horizon you should be fine on everything else, the Collector ship was the hardest part to me although I was completely unprepared for it without medi-gel and all the wrong powers.

Before having ever played a Mass Effect I thought Husks would be the equivalent of Halo`s Grunts. Nope.

He might mean the ones on the Collector ship although the Horizon ones can cause trouble to some if they use the wrong tactics.

Ha, I was thinking the same on Husks after the easier playthrough. Just remembered that mission with the husks at the end is the Reaper IFF.

The final battle can be really frustrating on any difficulty but all you have to do is throw a few Return to Sender traps onto the core and then you should be fine. Also in the 1999 mode theres an achievement for not buying anything at the Dollar Bill vending machines, which makes it that much harder.

Also run from as many fights as you can. For example the 2nd to last fight is completely avoidable. I would recommend finishing your item hunting (the voxophones and sighseer) before starting 1999 because once you start it you can't change the difficulty. So I ended up having to do a 3rd playthrough when i expected to just load up the chapters and go hunting.

Thanks for these tips, getting close to finishing normal mode, not sure if I'll start 1999 right after, but will definitely keep this in mind when I do.

I did the War for Cybertron multiplayer achievements. Luckily was halfway through doing them when they decided to make it easier by making it permanent double XP. Actually could have done with that before I even started.

Just maxed out Skyrim, stupid legendary dragon

[Iceman]

How long did it take to find the dragon? When I didn't find it for about 10 hours I was thinking it could take any amount of time but luckily wasn't too much longer. And I have one glitched achievement left to get to max Skyrim out.

Stalhrim Crafter - Craft an item out of Stalhrim.

The quest for that is glitched. I can't get the right conversation prompts to come up to trigger the quest.

You don't have any saves before the temple of Miraak quest?

[Iceman]

Oh yeah I do. Just haven't got around to doing it yet. I kind of wanted everything done on the one perfect save also and for earlier known glitches that I encountered Bethesda eventually patched them.

Final Fantasy XIII feels like it's going to take a longggggg time! All those hours and I have only 120G.

[AxlsAppetite]

Just need the `Unwavering` achievement to max out Mass Effect 3 and the series altogether.

[Iceman]

Excellent work!
