Mass Effect 2 - Arrival DLC Easter Egg - Timer Running Out

[OZORxORON]

Illusive man was standing with the rest of your crew lol. Now that's a screenshot worth saving.

[OptiMystic8]

@OZORxORON I would imagine you're all standing there having been indoctrinated

[xXelmarcoCFCXx]

I was tired. Now i'm not. Fuck you, Bioware.

[TheSharpmarksman]

this was too much death and malice in 15 seconds im gonna have nightmares

[BlooddragonME3]

Lol who else saw the illusive man?

[ShinoShunkan]

Is there a video of what happens if you wait for the original 2 days?

[everittdaniel]

Well, I didn't want to sleep tonight anyway. Thanks, youtube.

[stretzal]

Kelly scared the shit out of me.

[Billabongg2011]

that was badass.

[gritapuertorico]

I imagine this cut scene will also play if you try to import a save file to Mass Effect 3 with Shepard dead.

[DrMagillicutty]

uhh.... holy shit?

[TheRidersChoice]

why is kelly always getting killed off?

[drowningmouse]

JESUS CHRIST, KELLY AT 0:15 O_o;

[NikoBellicSerbia30]

You all can see on 0:12 EA fucked up there. There was supposed to be they watch in real what is happening, not like in GMode. But who cares for this what i am saying. Probably nobody.

[DrZoidberg15]

@NikoBellicSerbia30 what the fuck am i reading?

[RaitoYagami88]

The scariest part? Shepard's damaged helmet propped up on a stick...

[NinjaOnFireee]

Pause at 0:14 and you'll see your whole crew (including Illusive man) standing infront of a reaper on illium.

[Olemguy]

I love how Anderson is just standing there casually.

[ninetailedhollow5]

IT'S TOO LATE.

SHEPARD AND HIS CREW HAVE ALREADY BEEN INDOCTRINATED!

QUICK, BEFOASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL.

[XeNIGHTWOLFeX]

Holy hell I didn't even see this!

[DarthClam]

Wait! Does this happen as well at the beginning of the segment (before Kenson betrays you)? You can wait indefinitely during the conversation while you watch the timer go down (unfortunately, it has 2 days, 3 hours on the clock at that point)

[naierer]

@DarthClam ..I think people haven't tried it because you need to wait for 2 days and 3 hours

[Griff1357]

Did i just see a woman explode?

[ginnoveffect]

i've seen this footage in a few videos, and i didn't know where it came from. Now i know.

[zajohnson]

Thanks for saving hours of my life.

[udaho456]

@Suprnovo3 Well played sir, well played.

[SgtVisor]

Kelly holds the deus-ex machina inside her. Deal with it.

[TheOwned3]

The part with the N7 helmet is actually from the SSV Normandy's crash site. o.O

[kotorfan100]

i would have waited until the reapers came to fire the astroid so he could take them out then leave before the astroid hit

[Rotter99]

@kotorfan100 wouldn't work - if you think about it the explosion would travel at light speed, and the reapers very definitely have faster than light travel even without relays (everyone does). You could argue it depends how quickly they can turn around and accelerate, and how close they are to the actual relay etc - but we know they can turn around and accelerate pretty damn fast - and anyway, they aren't stupid enough to get that close to a relay they know is about to explode.

[7j8i9m]

How to stop the Reapers: Reinforce the armor on Shepard's right fist and the frontal part of her helmet, equip her with a jetpack. No Reaper can withstand fire of that magnitude.

[Nemon89]

Well, since this timer counts down to the reaper invasion, then seeing that invasion at the end of the countdown is not really that unexpected, is it? ;D

[DiamondbackCobra]

People! I figured out how to beat the Reapers.. Build an unmanned vessel with a big bomb or something built in.. Fire it from a Mass Relay, at an individual Reaper. Repeat process.

Not like they'd be able to dodge something moving that fast.. and even if you don't directly ram them, which would be pretty devastating, then the explosion should do something.

We'll let Garrus aim. We all know what he's good at.

[sithlord7m]

@DiamondbackCobra

1. If that would work we might as well fire the bomb itself, Missile style. Or we could waste a ship for no reason...

2.You can't aim a relay, at least we don't know if you can yet, so that shoots the whole plan to shit.

3.That is a lot of ships to sacrifice, and what if there are more reapers than ships we have? Especially after Sovereign wiped out most of the fleet solo.

All or most of the reapers are attacking earth, this explosion would cause immense collateral damage .

[MrKillthatcat]

One Reaper took the whole alliance + that council ship.. but the whole Reaper fleet? fuck.. Shepard's gonna have fun :L maybe it will be an ending where everybody dies anyway? i'd prefer that, bit more realistic anyway!

[kotorfan100]

@MrKillthatcat sovrighn was a flagship meaning it was one of the strongest and powerful reapers

[ginnoveffect]

@kotorfan100 i think they only said that Sovereign was Saren's flagship, which they assumed because they didn't believe in Reapers and Sovereign dwarfed every other ship they had ever seen. i don't think they ever said Sovereign was the flagship of the Reaper fleet, its just the vanguard.

[kotorfan100]

@ginnoveffect it sayes that they leave a reaper behind after each invasion i think it was to make sure plans where going good or something but they would have to leave a strong one behind i remember hearing that soverighn was one of the strongest reapers and i looked at some me3 vids where shepard fights reapers and they go down as easy as the human one on me2 even though it wasnt even 30% complete

[ginnoveffect]

@kotorfan100 The leave a reaper behind so they can activate the signal that makes the keepers activate the Citadel mass relay, allowing the return of the reaper fleet. The one Shepard fights at the reaper base in ME3 was just a baby. Sovereign was bigger than the Destiny Ascension, which was about four times bigger than any human ship. But this one was tiny compared that, comparable in size to the Normandy, and they still weren't able to take it down. It survived an orbital strike.

[CrucialJudgement]

@TheSlinkyGuyShow

For people without the dlc, it's like arrival never existed. No saving the doctor. No Mass relay for the reapers to appear through until Mass Effect 3.

[turntyle]

The Reapers were always so far off, so distant, and I've always had so much faith in Commander Shepard that it'd all be okay...

This just makes it so much more real.

I've never feared the Reapers until now ._.

[awsometaste]

that was so disturbing. fuck sleeping tonight

[luisitojr1992]

@awsometaste LOL it was

[ExodusExplicit]

Who's the black lady at 0:13?

[geminiwolf91]

@ExodusExplicit probably Oprah somehow

[fife007]

what the fuck?

[naierer]

..This is definitely the most critically failed mission

[Baboy318]

Kelly is still a bitch

[GeekingForJesus]

@Baboy318 What did Kelly do, exactly?

[TheSlinkyGuyShow]

This is probably what happens to the people who DIDN'T buy the DLC.

Because, y'know, didn't have the DLC, didn't blow up the Mass Relay.

[BlackheartLunar]

Kelly Chambers looks sexy 0:14

[DauntedSam]

Can you restart or do you die and have to start game again?

[yfullman]

Way ta go Team Milky Way!

[TheDazro]

The reapers really hate gingers...

[AelfricBlack]

That was creepy as fuck

[GeekingForJesus]

@AelfricBlack What's more creepy is that some commenters don't get disturbed at all by it. You have to be a real twisted person to laugh at that, IMHO.

[nirvana911]

That's freaking amazing LOL. I was wondering what happened hahahaha

[Midget5019]

am i the only one disturbed by the kelly getting vaporized shot?

[TacticalDemean]

@Midget5019 no

[j0n3f47]

if you pause at about 0.13.75 u c the illusive man with ashley and what looks like a turian 9most likely garrus). If this is a sneak peak of mass effect 3, the illusive man may become a teamate and either garrus or ashley or possibly even kaidan may become a spectre.

[Midget5019]

@j0n3f47 miranda is there too on the left

[Peterlinkdark11]

@j0n3f47 no, the reason why the squad, including the ilusive man is there, is because they are indoctrinated (mind taken over) and are waiting to becomme either slaves or be killed.

[Peterlinkdark11]

@j0n3f47 Also this is the sneak peak of a mass effect 3 if shephered, not including the dead shephered from suicide mission, died.

[luisitojr1992]

@j0n3f47 the illusive man is bad in me3 hes trying to kill u so i don't think his going to be a teammate

[dunfalach]

@j0n3f47 I think what it's doing is showing that everyone you were involved with gets destroyed if you fail; not so much specifically showing an event where they're all in one place. A series of "All these people you knew? Gone. All these other people you knew? Gone, too." Sorta like in time travel movies where it shows that people the traveler knew will vanish if he fails to fix the past. Or in this case, fails to fix the future.

[Jamaicobs]

0:13

TIM!!!

[rennat24]

NERDGASM!

[GiantsGate]

They totally should have thrown in a "LOST" reference (with some red hieroglyphics coming up on the display) when the countdown zeroed out. Hell, they could even used the same sound effect.

[ronnoc360]

I hope that it's acceptable that I just shat my pants.

[LightandDark11]

Why is this incredibly popular with Russian users?

No seriously, that demands answering.

[prankster335]

@LightandDark11 ME2 is very popular with modders and hackers. Its just that most of them are in Russia

[CAKEISFUNNY]

Awesome that bioware actually put that in the game if you let it hit 0.

[valexjedi]

just as i thought

[sargentaaron2004]

I wanted to do this too... but wasn't going to sit by and wait... so thanks :)

[zzxcvb98]

did you actually let the game run for two days, or did you mod the game?

[L4sz10]

@zzxcvb98 no

*****SPOILER******:

at the and of the misssion, you only have less than a half an hour to complete it, because you have been sedated for nearly two days.

[MsGamerGirl47]

Rofl keep pressing 7!

[blaknite16523]

The creepy monster face thingy at the end is Kelly Chambers

[AntiXaldin]

1-Those Reapers are barely as big as the Human-Reaper embryo. I seriously hope those sizes are not accurate otherwise, I can already see Shepard taking down Reapers with his assault rifle.

"Bioware: Oh, Sovereign? He was just a particularly strong reaper. Just compare the size differences between Shepard and Harbringer in Arrival. That's how big average Reapers are."

Wow, just the tougth of that makes my brain attempt to escape my skull.

[crunkiss]

@AntiXaldin You're lucky that won't happen because A) That was a Collector not a Reaper and B) that was a hologram, you see the actual size of those Collectors in-game.

But yah those vision Reapers are fucking tiny.

[AntiXaldin]

@crunkiss If you play Arrival after the Suicide Mission, the hologram shows Harbinger's true Reaper body instead of Harbinger's avatar, the Collector General.

[crunkiss]

@AntiXaldin Yah I realized that just after I posted, I was like ".....shit."

[MsTreasuredChest]

._.

[sarttan]

I wanna see someone do the two day one, just to see the stupid dedication required to do it.

[JallenMeodia]

But what if Kelly had already been mushed into a fine pink goo?

[TenkaFubu6192]

@JallenMeodia Your Shepard must be a beast in the sack.

[ffinfinity1]

I wanted to do this but i just got the DLC for the first time want to see the epic ending and didn't want to wait like 30 minutes extra for this :P

[kershaw101]

What do the Reapers have against Kelly. I mean first they get the Collectors to kidnap her and try to smush her into paste, and now Harbinger wants to smush her into paste himself. Let it go Harbinger...

[MegaBLACKMESA]

I like the thing that if you watch this video on 1080p it looks like an actuall gameplay.

Scary thing by the way.... i wish if ME3 was that scary and epic.

[Yotashi]

lol 1911

[slyderx239]

That Was Awsome

[Psychology]

LMAO at the illusive man standing there in the citidel watching the impending doom

[PrimeDefense]

this happened to 1 guy during his play-through.. he wasn't happy =P

[TimofAwsome]

this is cool, but am I the only one who noticed something wrong. At :11 you see a reaper inside the citadel, and it looks like its 10 feet. Unless its something else, its pretty damn small.

[ginew07]

@TimofAwsome Maybe Harbinger is mini? xD

[TimofAwsome]

@ginew07 hmm maybe, but then harbinger would be a bitch compared to someone like soverign who was 2 km

[ginew07]

@TimofAwsome Maybe. xD

[TheBalls17]

@TimofAwsome You probably wouldn't care by now since you posted this long ago lol. But there's a me3 detail out that the reapers are in different sizes at 500 to 600 metres or up to 2 kilometres long. It's in the may issue of marca player, Some spanish gaming magazine.

[TimofAwsome]

@TheBalls17 Why wouldn't I care? That is quite interesting actually, although still that reaper is nowhere near 5-600 metres.

[havok1175]

That's a bad thing, isin't it?

[SgtVisor]

LOL you can see Illusive Man standing next to Miranda if you pause at the right moment. What point in making the Renegade decision at the end of the Suicide Mission then? I.M promised that the Collector's base would help create an anti-Reaper weapon or smth. Turns out all they managed to develope was the Collector's Heavy Laser Weapon in multiple count. Damn it! I'll choose the Paragon option and piss Cerberus off next time.

P.S. Btw, if you saved Kaidan on Virmire - will you still see Ashley?..

[nx7256]

@SgtVisor Asking to your question - yes, you always see the same cutscene, because this is pre-rendered movie. For PC-version you can see it here: \Mass Effect 2\BioGame\DLC\DLC_EXP_Part02\M­ovies\Arv_Flash_marker.bik

[cubeofmoon]

So what if the relay was destroyed in the exact moment that the Reapers arrived in the system (right before they can use the relay)? Would that explosion kill them?

[Stellerman7]

0:12-0:14

I saw the Illusive man, Ashley, Garrus, Joker, Grunt, Doctor Chakwas, Mordin, Miranda, Kelly, and Jacob. I wonder if there is the possibilty of that scene being in Mass Effect 3?

[KreyaHammond]

At 00:13 , Ashley is standing right next to the Illusive Man watching the Reapers invade. :S And omg, Kelly is a zombie.

This short little scene took my breath away. ._.

[LTharrier]

Fucking Reapers!

[Calick]

I just felt disappointed that you couldn't save the Batarians. As a Paragon Shep, this is the first time I've done something that felt terribly wrong.

[MrAnthonyDraft]

@Calick i'm pretty sure you've done everything you could to save them - yet unfortunately it wasn't enough

[broodjebamibal]

Wow, thats pretty damn sweet that they actually included this.

[escopeteroce]

While I was playing I though about the timer, but it was the first time, when the count had two days.

Still it's nice to see that Bioware thinks of everything.

[Joey245]

Wow, BioWare thinks of everything. Damn.

Not letting this happen.

[Dae19832454]

Ignore my last post. was supposed to reply to a different vid.

[Dae19832454]

Could have cut the first 22 seconds but still.

[XFerginatorX]

LOL i thought the same thing i was wondering what would happen if the timer ran out. If it would just stay at ) or it restarts or you actually see something happen. Now i wonder if at certain parts of the mission if the outcome is different? You know like the 2 days one, the 1 hour one, and then the 30 min one which i bet he did this one one lol.

[CCGamingStudios]

@XFerginatorX Yeah, someone needs to try the 2 days one :D

[HarryzjEEE]

Was deciding whether or not to wait for the timer to reach 0. As if there's a video of it already, haha.

[gidioter]

0:08 mako

[gidioter]

HARBINGER HATES KELLY!

[nickeroon1987]

sheesh. gave me shivers the first time i saw it.

[CPunchMaster]

JESUS CHRIST!

[ShrewdGentleman]

JESUS FUCKSTICKS

[Balmung32]

0:07 Very powerful shot of the N7 helmet on the pole in the foreground and the Normandy in pieces in the back. Guess those new ship upgrades won't do crap against a Reaper.

[BadlanAlun]

HOLY SHIT. 

[jmr48080]

Harbinger, do you know how hard it was to find a bangin' redhead!?

[convoy81]

0:15 Harbinger VS Kelly Chambers: FATALITY!

[SergiySw]

I found it in game files but it was without sound. Thanks for record!

P.S. All videos in ME2 are in 720p. So, about half of this video is resize. ;)

[solstickeflickan]

That is one badass game over screen.
