Well, here it is! Mass Effect 2 Legendary Edition - Insanity, No Medi-gel, No Health damage, No squad death.
This was a tough one. The first three challenges were interesting, but very manageable. The last? No squad death? Absolutely insane. You would think that the Legendary Edition improved on the squad AI, but nope. They are just as dumb as they were back in 2010.
Although the squad is good at using powers, they are terrible at pathfinding and even the most basic use of cover. So many times I had to put my squishy Engineer's butt in harm's way(the "shield-break" mechanic saved my hide a million times) just to be able to keep them alive. By far the hardest mission was the platform fight on the Collector Ship, until I figured out the exact tactic that was needed there to prevail. My squad always died in the first 15 seconds lol. Unbelievable. Two Scions with a million health hammering you? And Harbi spawns non-stop? Sod off. Fun fact: once your squad is knocked out of cover, they will just stand there like idiots for a good 20 sec, unless you manually place them back into cover.
On most of the missions, I just placed them into cover far away and took down the enemies alone - with the help of their powers of course.
There is no doubt that "no squad death" with "no health damage on Shep" is one of the hardest with the Engi. I had to use the Heavy Weapon many times(which is something I usually don't do), in very specific places. Kind of reminded me of ME3 multiplayer. The Soldier, the Infiltrator, and the Sentinel would definitely have an easier time here.
Aside from babysitting the squad, it was a pretty fun ride. Using the Combat Drone to sting the enemy is always fun. Bosses like Heavy Mechs and Pretorians turn into a joke with the drone because even they get interrupted by it. Incinerating armor is also very satisfying. I stayed more on the offensive side with my Engi, just like in ME1, so I did not pick up hacking and freezing(although they are great to use too).
Hacking has been sped up, loading screens have been edited out. Hope you enjoy it! :)

No squad deaths is an insane challenge. The stupidity of squadmates is part of what keeps me from me2's insanity 😂

@AKisHerceg Месяц назад

It is indeed... Many times I just brought Grunt along because he has the best chance to survive since he has the largest health pool and best health regen(plus he can turtle up once he is loyal). I will definitely NOT repeat this challenge again. :)

@NobodyNothing-f5c 24 дня назад

Also playing the worst class for nightmare. The drone becomes completely useless, its all down to ammo type, etc. I'd say this challenge is impossible, since their weapon loadout is poor too.

@AKisHerceg 24 дня назад

@@NobodyNothing-f5c What do you mean the challenge is impossible? It’s not. It’s just very difficult… and annoying. :) The class was chosen by the community, I would have made it easier for myself and pick the Infi or the Sentinel.

@NobodyNothing-f5c 24 дня назад

Annoying, as in you can reload? Cause I don't see how anyone could legitimately beat the challenge without a reload or two dozen. Even the broken soldier class can get dropped quickly. I even wrote the guide for melee. It's on the wiki under Mictlantecuhtli.

@AKisHerceg 24 дня назад

@@NobodyNothing-f5c Of course! :) Every time I messed up and the squad ended up dead, I reloaded the entire mission. So, naturally that was very annoying. The Collector Ship mission was the worst, I had to reload the mission multiple times. That platform section is brutal because your squad sometimes does not take cover(even when you order them to) and the two Scions bombards them with Shockwave which prevents their health and shield to regenerate if they get hit. Plus if Harbi knocks them out of cover, they don't automatically try to take cover again. You have to place them back manually while you are also trying to survive. This is not a permadeath challenge, just a no health dmg+no squad death challenge. Mission reloads are fine. I think Shep permadeath + no health dmg is not impossible though, if you don't have to babysit. Even with the Engi - Combat Drone makes it easy to execute long range cheap shots, so if I would go for permadeath, I think I would pick the AR or the Sniper Rifle and always stay far away. Plus you have a massive cooldown bonus for the life-saving Geth Shield Boost and you basically have an infinite armor piercing homing-missile with Incinerate. Still, with the Infi(Cloak+range and scope slow mo, nuff said), the Soldier(Adrenaline+Inferno ammo +Mattock can take down anything lightning fast) and the Senti(basically like the Engi, but better because of Tech Armor which is better than GSB and you can still get an extra power, instead on Incinerate you can have Warp) it's probably easier. With the Adept and the Vanguard is most likely harder. But permadeath + no squad death? There is no way someone could keep the squad alive with permadeath without mission reloads since they are extremely stupid and extremely squishy.

@AKisHerceg Месяц назад

No health damage, no medi gel, no hud in combat, no squad mate death will make it pretty difficult. :)

@marcomongke3116 Месяц назад

@AKisHerceg on console or PC? On PC, it's relatively easy. Also, no health damage? Wouldn't your health always get a bit of damage and regenerate after a second?

@AKisHerceg Месяц назад

@@marcomongke3116 No. Your Shield takes damage first. After it breaks, then your health starts taking damage. So the challenge is that only your shield can take damage, and your health should never go down, not even a tiny bit - the palpitating sound that immediately accompanies(even 1 point of) health damage, should never be audible basically. The bloody veins also can't be visible on the screen - also a mark of health damage. In this video you will never hear the heart beat sound and you will never see the veins - I never took any health damage.

@jackofminds8338 Месяц назад

A little under a quarter of the way through, and super fun so far! I am curious what the reasoning behind your weapon choices is, since I don't know nearly as much about this game as Dragon Age. Particularly the swap from shotguns for Shepard in ME1 to SMGs here in ME2. Also, think you might do some Mass Effect trilogy builds?

@AKisHerceg Месяц назад

In ME2 you do not have access to shotguns as an Engi until you reach a certain part of the story - at that point, I will start using shotguns just like I did in ME1. :) Usually when I make a build for ME, I always have one video for each game(the only exception is the Shotgun Infi - I just haven't got the time to do a build video for ME3 yet). Basically all of my ME builds are trilogy builds. :)

@TheTrankus Месяц назад

What would be the best classes to play insanity in each game? In 1 Infiltrator felt good, but in 2... I liked a bunch of different classes

@AKisHerceg Месяц назад

In the first game I think the soldier is the best in term of durability. At the end they are basically unkillable. In terms of powers, the adept can completely neutralize a room full of enemies with a single power, and lift and toss around the heaviest enemies with ease. Including bosses. I think the tech based classes are a bit weaker in the first game compared to the soldier and the adept. They are also great, they just lack that "wow" factor like when you lift up a Geth Colossus or tank 3 krogan in melee. In the second, it's the opposite. The soldier is still a beast, but because of the protective layers on everyone, biotic based classes suffer a huge downgrade. In ME2 the soldier, the infiltrator and the sentinel(God bless the Tech Armor) takes the cake. In ME3 just about every class is great because of the combos. The Infiltrator is less overpowered though because of the way they re-worked the Cloak.

Not sure I understand what challenge you are talking about. My DA2 Blood-Zerker is not a solo build. It's actually pretty fragile, I just finished the qunari mission solo so people can see the damage output. Since you are so interested in that build(every video I make you comment about it) and I have no idea when I will actually have time to do a proper build video about it, here: watch?v=1q-h16Civ1s - you can watch the full demonstration and the build at the end. Skills, stats and equipment. The weapon obviously needs to be changed based on what you are fighting against - qunari are weak to nature so I used a nature damage weapon against them.

Now do it in the original.

@AKisHerceg 27 дней назад

Why? The Original is actually easier than the LE so I don't see the point. The LE introduced non-stop enemy spawns on places where there was none in the Original. Also the original gives immediate access to dlc weapons and armor(Mattock, Phalanx, Kestrel set, Blood Armor set etc.), instead of forcing you to buy them/acquire them with credits. Hell, the best heavy pistol, the best AR and the best shotgun and the best armor sets are instantly accessible as soon as you step one foot on the Normandy. :)
