  • Her companions hear the truth!? - Wrex!?

  • No matter who you bring Wrex has the best arguments to convince you to kill her, but I'll probably need the rachni on ME3.

  • @TheBIOPRINCE

    Ummm, well never mind.

  • @1929Nick Huh?

  • I let them live and only used friendly/inquisitive options when talking to them, the rachni are cool

  • My favorite ME1 pair. It would be great to see them together again in ME3.

  • This vessel is a B.I.T.C.H?

  • Wrex Should have Eaten Everyone in the room....

  • saying 'We should let the council decide their fate' right next to a Krogan... classy, Garrus

  • Note: never take a rackni, a turian, and a krogan to somewhere nice

  • Awww... I feel kinda bad for the Rachni now

  • damnit, i wish i didnt kill them

  • @downtownford

    Don't worry... the Rachnis fell to the Reapers once what's stopping them from doing so again? Casey Hudson, one of the lead designers of ME3, have pointed out that paragon choices don't necessarily mean positive results.

  • @Aljeron100

    Because that is a shitty plot twist worthy of shitty writers like M.Night Shyamalan.

  • @Hjernespreng

    Reapers have indoctrinated the Rachni before so what's stopping them from doing it again? Ever thought of that? And back then, the Rachni were even MORE powerful that they are now.

    Wake up my friend.. Being all flowers and nice doesn't make necessitate a positive result. Did Eddard Stark from Game of Thrones benefit anyone with his honor?

    Not everything is pretty flowers and bright sunshines if you do good... believe it or not. :)

  • @Aljeron100

    Right, I'll just keep tabs on this video and proceed to mock you in half a year because of your overconfidence.

  • @Hjernespreng Rachni are already a confirmed enemy in Mass Effect 3 in the GameInformer preview. *crikee* ;)

    Don't believe me? Check the Bioware forum and see that devs have already confirmed that the reapers have created a variety of husks with one species being the rachni. Either what, you're fighting them in ME3. Don't worry your ass though, I'm sure they'll give you the option to save them AGAIN.

  • @Aljeron100 no they said if you killed the queen the reapers will control an army of rachni drones if you saved the queen they will be on your side in the battle for earth

  • @Aljeron100 Reapers make husks of all their enemies. There are Krogan Husks, Asari Husks and, of course, Human husks.

    That spoiler of yours only shows that the Rachni are fighting the good fight. Good for them.

  • @Aljeron100 You are correct. The Reapers, such as Harbinger & Sovereign/Nazara did indoctrinate the Rachni, to prepare for another galactic extermination of all organic life. So the 'Old Machines' would try again but that is why it is better to let her, the Queen here live and try to rebuild her people as well as rewriting the Heretic geth to rejoin the True Geth Collective, powerful allies to have in the galactic war to come in ME3.

  • thorians,rachinis, all can input their will into other,ill bet rachini will have a effect to defeat reapers.

  • were the whispers always behind her voice? i never noticed that, and i just played this fight

  • @TheExile31 it was on bioware forums. You could make a thread there.. Sorry i will not search for it.

  • @TheExile31 somewhere on the bioware forums. Lets just wait and see. We don't want spoilers, don't we?

  • "genocide is one of the reasons we fought the Kroga....ah"

    that part had me dying

  • The rachni are creapy ass fuck but honesly the reapers coming why no have a rachni queen on your side and if they turn on me get Mordin to come up with some sort of genophage copy for the rachni and I will personally kick the queen in her face so she don't ever fuck with humanity

  • supposedly there one of the  races that shepard recruits to help save earth

  • lol i bet that is what turians do to their kids and thats why they all act like they have sticks shoved up their asses all the time

  • hopefully if u saved the rachni queen, she will help u against the reapers :)

  • I smoked that bitch

  • Letting the Rachni live, heavy risk... but the priiiize...

  • @cr1ms0nking tired of this meme. There is no prize in that. Way to let the galaxy being raped by the rachni in future, dude.

  • @insight1337 Or badass ally in ME3. The creators(BioWare) even said that decisions from ME1 like the rachni Queen and weather or not the council lived or died at the end, which didn't matter much or at all, will matter a lot in ME3.

  • @insight1337 The Rachni have already told Shepard they learned their lesson and want to co-exist peacefully with the rest of the galaxy. They also want to destroy the Reapers at Shep's side.

    So dude, why do think their attack again?

  • @blazinghen rumors are, that Paragons shepards gonna be bitten in the ass in ME3 for releasing the Rachni.

  • @insight1337 I'm not believing that till I see it. ME2 had all sorts of rumors and only like 3 turned out true.

  • @insight1337 In ME2, you talk to the Rachni messenger on Illium. She says that the Rachni war was cause by the Reapers, who indoctrinated the Rachni into starting a war. She also says that the Rachni would return to help Shepard against them.

  • @larrym5150 we'll see how bioware ends making this story.

  • @blazinghen Well, i always thought that the "songs the color of oily shadow" was, in fact, the so-called indoctrination of the Reapers. The Rachni propably want to join forces with Shepard, but they will end up "switching" sides again because of the invasion.

  • @Mietin Hmm, I never thought of that.... But wait, the queen never came in contact with Saren or Sovereign so she couldn't have felt the effects of indoctrination. I think she just meant that Shepard's language was incredibly strange. And yeah, I do think that might happen, like with Cerberus. They were gung-ho, fight the Reapers, then they just try to kill the only man who can save them. It'll be interesting to see how this turns out.

  • who killed it? I killed it because I wasn't paying attention at all the talking then I heard something about letting us free by killing them or idk, that's what I thought she meant so I just killed her and that thing

  • Oh god, saving the Rachni will turn them all into husks in ME3...And I bet Rachni husks will be hard to defeat; They're tanks with twin cannons... (There's a pic running around the net of that)

    Oh dear god, I bet that Casey Hudson was right and that this decision will really torment us in ME3. I bet the Rachni husks that Reapers get will allow an entire race to be decimated or something...

  • @Alex06CoSonic or they will have a mighty fleet that will come and help Shepard. who knows...

  • @Alex06CoSonic You don't know if all of them will be turned into husks yet. You only have the previews, just like when people thought Legion was going to be a boss. :P

    Otherwise, it would be like saying genocide is okay.

  • So i freed them, they promised me they wouldn't attack anyone.

    Later i got to that side mission in Styx Theta and saw rachni attacking marines.

    I was like WTF RACHNI QUEEN YOU BITCH !

  • @Pomokuri Surely you realize those were rachni taken away from the queen, before the Noveria mission, exactly like the rachni you fought in Peak 15.

    Right?

  • @Pomokuri It wasn't her. It was cerberus doing tests with rachni.

  • makes sense a baby left alone in a closet until hes 16 won't be sane

    that was oddly specific, Garrus is their something you're not telling us?

  • @c130ace Garrus has probably seen this kind of thing before, being C-Sec and all.

  • @c130ace funny i said the same thing when liara uttered those lines

  • @Artisteswagger what they're not telling us is that they have a child together, locked in a closet somewhere

  • Am I the only one who thought the Jurassic Park theme would fit here perfectly?

  • Pifft... Killing them made me smile

  • Rachni are like keepers. But rachni are shepard loyal.

    Maybe in ME3 if you saved rachni they will work on normandy and keep fixing it :)

    The girl in ME2 says that rachni fixed her ship in no time D:

  • i love it when women fight over me

  • I dunno... I find it ugly cute :3

  • And now, for the question on everyone's mind: how the hell did the Rachni queen get off Noveria?

  • @CompletelyAnonymous7 The Rachni were a spacefaring species, it stands to reason that they can pilot a starship of some description.

  • @randomface54 i was mire interested in how the Rachni queen actually aquired a ship without anyone noticing. There can't be that many ships on Noveria.

  • @CompletelyAnonymous7 Good point authough Noveria was a major centre for R/D (mostly illegal in Council space) and therefore likely had a lot of through-traffic but the question of the Queen aquiring the ship without anyone noticing does stand. Maybe she found and possessed another Asari and got her to get a ship and come back to load her on board.

  • Those little bastards better be friendly in ME3.

  • @thehangoverthatuget ill be highly upset if they dont. or i play me1 again and exterminate them

  • This was truly one of the most amazing moments in all of gaming.

  • You'll need every advantage in the final showdown I think. Saving the rachni makes sense when you've seen what they done with themselves in the second game. Since they managed to bring the entire bloody galaxy to its knees before the krogan got involved I'd say they are a force to be reckoned with. Besides, they're bugs. Bugs lay like a thousand eggs each time they breed so the population growth is insane.

  • @slask25 I see it happen in Mass Effect 3: Krogan, Rachni, Turian, Salarian, Asari, Drell, Quarian, Geth, hanar, elcor , human and Batarian. All fighting along side, as the reaper fleets come through the Mass Relay to take control of the citadel, to repeat the cycle of genocide once more.

    With the Normandy to lead the charge, and the most epic videogame OST ever, at the background.

  • AND im telling the illusive man for cerberus is a REAPER

  • i think that if you saved the GETH (mass effect 2), THE RACHNI QUEEN (masseffect), and tell the quarians not to go to war (mass effect 2) and have wrex leading the krogan it will help alot in mass effect 3!!!!

  • @TheBillynewcomb Shepherd's Galactic Fleet! Hah! try beating that, Council! >=)

  • if you let the survive I feel like the Krogan will turn against you in ME3. I killed the queen my main. Wrex>Creepy Bug

  • @Elluzive

    I let them live and wound up finding out that they are actually peaceful and could be allies in the end. I'm not going to ruin the whole side story, but I think it pays off if you let them live.

  • The rachni fought because they were controlled somehow not because they wanted. In ME 2 we learn that Rachni are not violent, but rather pacific and usually stay away from other species.

  • @JordanWilde ah yes "The Rachni" i thought we allready dismissed that claim

  • 94 rachni hit like

  • I like the rachni queen.

  • Great bugs are writing songs about you ur gunna regret this

    LOL Wrex (though I agree with wrex)

  • Three Krogan hit the dislike button?

  • @mikiroony make that four :(

  • @mikiroony "Stupid machine!!"

  • We will only see in ME3 if this is a good or a bad idea. Gotta partly agree with Wrex, millions of Krogan died so that the galaxy wouldn't be eaten alive.

  • @maledikt It would also be good for Krogans if the same thing were to repeats then the salarians would be forced to come up with a cure so Krogan would save the day again.

  • People like playing renegade shep when they want to be assholes

    people play Para shep when they want to be heros.

    looking at how the 2nd game is progressing id say the game designers had a bias towards para shep.

    Missons are unlocked if you let people live, more obvious than that if you chose any other option at the end other than save the coucil the galaxy becomes a crapsack world with it all going out of contol, however saving them makes humans popular to the galaxy and its alittle better

  • One thing I'm not sure of, although its obvious that something was controlling the majority of the Rachni race during their war, is it safe to assume it was Sovereign trying to do some sort of double pronged attack along with the other reapers? Or perhaps trying to accoplish then what he attempts to do with the geth, i mean activating the citadel.

  • lol @ garrus' big mouth

  • lol

    "Great! Bugs are writing songs about you."

  • "Colours of oily shadows", that'd be the Reapers.

  • Wrex and Garrus- the team I almost always take with me.

  • I saved the Rachni Queen in ME1

    Then in ME2 I reprogrammed the Heretics and said to the Quarian admiralty board to go for peace with the geth. (Maybe The Quarians and the Geth can live on the same planet, I'm on Admiral Korris Line here). Wrex always survives in my playthroughs, and i save the genophage cure data (Wrex will need it).

    I think these are the biggest decistions.

    I don't know about you but it feels like one specie will backfire.

  • @kabbinet The Council may backfire if you saved them

  • My me1 and mass effect 2 play through have been mainly paragon. But Wrex told me to kill her so I had no choice then I saw that in me2 that if you let them live she is all like "I haz army!!" Now I'm all like FUUUU.....

  • if you want to reach lvl 60 free her as it open rachni levels they never seem to apper if i kill her

  • I think Wrex should think about it this way: the Krogan were given the Genophage after exterminating the Rachni. Wouldn't it be perfect if the Rachni attacked the galaxy again and the Krogan refused to help this time around? Lol

  • I wanna see a Rachni Musical :D

  • @ridjf If the rest of the galaxy can accept the Rachni after the big showdown, I bet their musical would be even more popular than Elcor Hamlet.

  • @Android2137

    Earless Elephants vs Giant Shrimp-Cockroaches

  • @Android2137 You make a very interesting point that I hadn't thought of before. I'm sure the Asari reviewers would go absolutely ballistic, at any rate.

  • @Android2137

    I dont know, ELcor Hamlet was pretty awsome

  • You get, like 24 paragon for freeing her.

  • Rave755 is right about Shepard's amry. Cerberus and Alliance should also unite against the Reapers. Anderson and Illusive Man are men of action. To make all those races trust each other will be more difficult than to create that army.

  • ... one of the reasons WE FOUGHT THE KROGAN --- Ahhh....

    God, I love Garrus. 

  • One of the best moments in ME - which makes it one of the best moments in gaming altogether, i found myself really weighing the risks,counting pro's and con's for every decision, and that was even before i was aware of the fact that decisions in ME1 could have an influence on the next games.

  • 5:10-5:17 thats the kinda squad interaction I want in Mass effect 3. I Mean really that whole seven secs was the only thing that we got close to seeing actual interaction based off of two characters back story, that Tali and Legion in ME2 but still i want more it could help unfold so much more in the story.

  • first time watching i was like ZOMBIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE AAAAAAAAAAAAH, *looks around* AAAH SHIT weird mouth thingie

  • This may be kind of stupid of me, but just did Garrus mean when he says "genocide is one of the reasons we fought the krogan"? He seems to be generally against genocide here and not in favor of repeating it. So why would Wrex be offended and act like Garrus is being hypcritical? Is Garrus saying that the krogan were committing genocide and so had to be fought, making Wrex point out the irony that turians stopped just short of genocide themselves?

  • Garrus got ownt by his own faulty logic. "Genocide is one of the reasons we fought the Krogan--ah..." You can tell he wanted to finishg that off with 'ah, goddamnit. I just screwed myself.'

  • Great. Bugs are writing songs about you. Lol. Wrex is awesome.

  • 0:40 "RELEASE MEEEEE"

    "What is it you want us to do?"

    "DIEEEEEEEEEE"

  • Just read this on the mass effect 2 wiki: If the Rachni Queen is killed, it will be revealed in a news report that data recovered from the Peak 15 facility on Noveria pointed to the cloning of rachni in the facility but none being found. Even though they didn't find any I kinda have a bad feeling about it....thank god i saved her in one of my games.

  • Is the graphic of this game the same as the second 1?

  • @1337Figaro No.

  • would u attack other races again? WELL NO SHIT WE WOULD!! what who said that

  • whats gonna stop the reapers from indocternate those bugs again...

    wrex is right! the galaxy will burn for you weakness

  • THE RACHNI ARE VALUABLE ASSTS AGAINST THE REAPERS IN MASS EFFECT 3 DON'T KILL THE QUEEN!

  • 5:05 i'm surprised that wrex doesn't have a more angry reaction to garrus' hilariously hypocritical and hostile remark.

  • I just noticed that its whispering the words in the background :D

  • teh geth and the rachni queen are with me for me 3 die reapers!

  • Story of Rachni Queen sound like Alexstrasza the Queen of Dragons one, her child are raised to be mindless warbeasts...thought being a queen would be more fun than this...

  • I had Liara with me and she watched her mom die :(

  • @Codis998 She fired the last shot in my playthrough!

  • haha alien bitch

  • Is that the default female shepard, cause shes offensive to look at.

  • LoL i Had Wrex And Garrus also at this part, Wel i Had Always Garrus and Wrex with me :P There awsome !!!! I freeed the bug to :P

  • LoL i Had Wrex And Garrus also at this part, Wel i Had Always Garrus and Wrex with me :P There awsome !!!!

  • woahhh wrex has some sick armor there

  • No I was dissappinted that when I freed her, all you get is a message from an asari in me2 and that's all!!!!

  • When I heard the Rachni's way of talking, everything is music to them, it was so creepy but at the same time so very beautiful. When I heard her speak I couldn't destroy her.

    looks like the kindness is going to pay off big time in ME3

  • I saved the Genophage data, stopped Tali being banished, and saved Wrex.

    My only fall was killing the Rachni Queen.

    Which, if you consider the possibilities, may pay off.

    Think about it, Krogan and Rachni fighting together? The Krogan will almost certainly turn on them. Same for the Quarians with the Geth.

    You have to consider whether or not the "army" to fight the reapers will simply descend into infighting and chaos, to the Reapers' advantage.

  • @50033836

    Come on. Shepard finally got data on the reapers (aka proof that they exist). Nether the Rachni nor the Geth would betray Shepard after what he has done for them. The Quarians are smart enough to figure which one is the real enemy (especially with the proof). And as for the Krogans, they're bloodthristy but they aren't stupid.

  • what armor is Wrex wearing?

  • This is the perfect pair for this encounter. Wrex, representing the Krogan. Those who put down the Rachnai. Garrus representing the Turians, those who put down the Krogan. It's an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other. But which is which. Thanks for uploading this.

  • great bugs are writing songs about you

  • I could never bring myself to kill the queen, even on my renegade play through. I would always choose to kill her, and then change my mind.

  • Let me see...

    I have powerful geth no my side,rachnis,krogans,salarians­,turians,asari,humans,quarians­....

  • What armor is Wrex wearing?

  • this shepard lips like project out of her face. very wierd.

  • @metalisticpain hey we only have very few choices and its pretty hard to make the lips all nice and perfect. i tried (and failed xD)

  • I listened to wrex and gassed that thing. I always hated those fucking bugs. : /

  • And no one died in the suicide mission :D

  • Saveing her really paid off.

    In 2 she's like: "Hey thanks for saveing me, I got this whole kickass army waiting for when the reapers arive. Yep, thanks."

    Not to mention saved wrex and united the krogan, reprogramed geth, saved tali from being banished, and saved the Genophage data.

    God my ME3 character is going to have one hell of an army.

  • Same :D

  • @Rave7557 Same here! :D

  • @champayne17

    Turian: "Those are Reapers!!!"

    Shepard: "Reapers?.... THIS IS MASS EFFECT!!!!"

  • Cant be sure about what happens in me3 maybe you flawlessly defeat the reapers but some message come upp and tell that after sheps death everyone goes crazy and the whole universe explodes :S

    cant hope for perfection until me3 comes.

  • @Rave7557  FUCK YOU! );

  • @Obito1600

    Sad face? ;(

  • @Rave7557  very sad

  • @Obito1600 Why?

  • @Rave7557 i only got me2 and i got the geth, quarians, and collector base, so ill probably lose the war unless i get me1

  • @Rave7557 yeah right , but i destroyed the geth , deleted the genophage data , killed wrex on virmire... so what was i supposed to get in me3? cerberus? i don't think so...

  • ditto

  • @Rave7557 its funny that its renegade to destroy the genophage data but paragon to destroy the collector base

  • @coscientology

    I know! I mean even if the Collector tech went to Cerberus, its still better then getting nothing!

  • @Rave7557 its prolly gonna be  like... if the cerberus got the tech= human dominance if they didnt a united offensive :P

  • @coscientology Cerberus is only after one thing human Dominance thats why its renegade to give them the Tech... basicly its like giving Nazis the power to enslave everyone without resistance..

  • @SenHai you arent looking at the underlying message: experimenting on humans = bad. experimenting on krogan = good. either experimentation is always wrong or it is not.

  • @Rave7557 oh yes, the reapers are going to get a fucking kick in the ass. what do you think happens in me 3 if you destroyed the station?

  • @Juvissimo

    I think the Illusive man is just gonna be pissed lol.

    But if Cerberus sides with the Reapers im going to be pissed lol...

  • @Rave7557 but think about it. what if the reapers offer humanity to go unharmed in exchange for the life of every other sentient being in the galaxy?

  • @Juvissimo

    THEN WE SHALL FIGHT TO THE LAST BREATH!!! And a whooole lot of death screens.

  • @Juvissimo its a collector station you did destroy it..... and the conversations at the end of me 3 imply that the reapers are pawns of something else ...

  • @Rave7557 I did the same the only thing is that if you save the data it could screw you over, for you could be like saren and use the cure as a wepon, I know its for a greater good but its the same dynamic.

  • @HemAnpwnedthewondert

    Only if you think of it that way.

    Im sure they are going to give you a choice to either gift it to the Krogans or Bribe them with it. Ima gift it to them and win their favor XD

  • @Rave7557 same :D

  • @Rave7557 I killed the queen :( I thought she was trying to trick me. I'm like, I'm not that gullible lady. But I did choose not to reprogram the geth. i have this weird feeling that in ME3, if the geth are united, they will be really strong and the quarians won't be able to get their homeworld back so I just couldn't risk it.

  • @earlpwns8 if you blew up the geth station thats only the heretics, and thats like only 5% of the whole geth population, in other words quarians have no chance :P even with their 50000 warships

  • @Rave7557 Ha! i did the same.

  • @Rave7557 i nvr played ME1 but my guy did all the good stuff in ME2 so should i get ME1 to help boost my chances in ME3 against the reapers? oh and i pretty much said f u to the illusive man by not saving the reaper station or keeping an alliance with him, so im pretty sure hes going to try and kill me in ME3...

  • @DismemberThemStupid

    Well if you get ME1 then beat it, your gonna have to play 2 again :P

    And hopefully the Illusive man will come to his senses and help Shepard in any way he can... His life is on the line to!

  • @Rave7557 remind me not to fuck with you.

  • @Rave7557 Or the reapers will once again take over the Rachni with indoctrination and make them attack humanity O.o

  • @Ristvrail7

    That would suck O_o

  • @Rave7557 Shepard's army is like an army of outcasts XD But thats what ME3 is gonna be is about trust and redemption.

  • @EchoBoomer1987

    For the Win :D

  • @Rave7557 Not to mention the Collector base to go along with all of that. In my last playthrough(paragon), I did all of that. Kept the data that would hurt Cerberus really badly if it got out for myself. So, T.I.M would have to do what I say concerning the Collector base in ME3. Hehe ^_^

  • @Rave7557 You're going to have a lot of explaining to everyone else though. "Yeah, I know the Rachni started a war way back, but they were under mind control! And most of the Geth aren't bad and those that were, we brainwashed back to being good! Which is totally different, right? Right?"

  • @Android2137

    Well the Rachni want revenge against the Reapers for enslaving them in the first place. So if they DO rise up, its going to be after destroying the Reapers.

    As for the Geth, I did what Legion thought best. I don't think anyone's going to have a problem with a few rouge Geth going back to being...er...Good?

  • @Rave7557 That doesn't change the fact that you'll have to find a way to stop the mass panic when they all show up for the party. Especially since Rachni can only explain themselves through Asari puppets. (But at least the Geth have oh-so-adorable Legion to represent them.)

  • @Android2137

    I think that if the Rachni show up in the heat of battle fighting off the Reapers, people will be pretty happy to see them.

    As you stated with the Geth, Legion is awesome :D
