Mass Effect 2: Praetorians on Insanity.

[pentevrien]

I finally did it on insanity, had to learn to spot when the bloody thing uses the Death Choir, thanks! :)

And the music - both thumbs up

[PMexyK123]

i use the soldier[favourite class] use adreline rush and sniper and shoot him or vanguard rush it and boom shotty [2nd fav] i am not a fan of sentinel since im a aggresive player

[garrysmodmoviemaker1]

Am I the only one who thinks Praetorians look like min-reapers?

[MarkArandjus]

Oh I remember this level.

*goes into Drell perfect memory trans*

WUSHH

Hot humid air inside ship. Surrounded. Collectors everywhere. Praetorians slowly hovering. Have to keep moving constantly. Wonder why random cases of minerals are always lying around.

WUSHH

[GAARAisthebeast]

infiltrator can burn his armor down gooood, that or i bring along mordin for collector missions :)

[eran5005]

I like sentinel, pretty verstile and it gives you alot more freedom in picking your party.

but it doesn't matter whats your class and whos in your party, this goddamn praetorian is one big annoying bother of a fight on insanity, i think they should have made him faster but with less barrier and armor - that way the fight would be intense but not as excruciatingly long!

[MadMAn12gauge]

playing a biotic is a must play...Singularity is just tooo damn good, even against foes with protection, it does little mini stuns to em and they cant walk past, much less fire while they are in the field...It is great, i done a playthrough with adept and looking to do it again, plus my biotic characters are female ones and am looking to tongue some Azure again with liara haha

[SnIkLeeT]

I pretty much hate praetorians like nothing else I know. Threw my controller against the wall, powered down my xbox and said "Fuck it." quite loudly.

Hope I saved, if not that's ok. The mission is fun up until this fight.

[MadMAn12gauge]

@SnIkLeeT pretty easy fight man, at the start just kill those husk rushers real fast stay behind that wall and make sure you kill off the 2 collecter drones before you circle the platform, kiting that thing around a wide circle

is preferable, not the way this vid shows it thats more if you want to have a challenge in this fightsuch a tight circle is not ness

[SnIkLeeT]

@MadMAn12gauge Ya just gota kite them around a wall. So much easier as an assault sentinel

[MadMAn12gauge]

@SnIkLeeT im not big on the sentinel....it is not my play style, it is a challenge on insanity, but like any class you just need combo spells and cast them at light speed at right times, the end mission is easy...i just use samara too pull and thane to AOE warp...while i spec Heavy warp...and just hit the easiest drone with my heavy warp, puase(so harbinger doesnt appear) samara lift Thane Warp. usually knocks everything away...watch "AVERAGEGATSBY" search it on youtube that name

[SnIkLeeT]

@MadMAn12gauge Yea my next char will either be engineer or biotic. All msy classes so far have been run and gun or snipe at range. Even my sentinel I just went assault armor and geth plasma shotgun (Which is my fav class by far). As much + power recharge time as I could get. Casting assault armor every 5 seconds is fuckin awesome whilst blowing things away with the plasma shotgun :D

[Kulgan347]

what program did you use to record this?

[andyllamanipl]

Goddamn, I hate those things... ><

[DavieS993]

Fuck that, I got raped by that thing on casual.

[jimjames59]

It took me so long to get past here on my insanity playthrough. I was an infiltrator with dominate as my extra talent (I can control anyone!). I just kept killing husks and collectors while cloaking, hiding and running from the praetorian, then when it was the only thing left, I kept cloak-sniping it with my brand spanking new widow. My squadmates died really quickly and I ran out of medigel reviving them, so I just left them to bleed on the floor... (I guess I'm more renegade than I thought)

[CactaurJumbo]

Fuck I'm on this bit now, on Insansity, damn its difficult. Why is the ally AI so unhelpful in this game!

[ghoohg551]

Just did this on hardcore (before watching vid) i spammed my rockets but half went after mobs, cleaned out the mobs then kept running to that pillar and going round and round, as you said the Widow is the only thing that saved me :/

I still died around 12 times at the start of this level on the platforms though close range harbinger, need I say more?

[darkwolve16]

Roses are Red.

Violets are Blue.

Assuming Control.

This Hurts You.

[FreedomPLMarcin]

Preatorians r riddiculous opponents on any difficulty level. They're just too easy.

[TheKatamariguy]

Evil, Evil Motherf**ker

[Robman2277]

Lol 3:03 Thanes like "I've got him shepherd I've got him, o shi-"

[sugarlessrobots]

mass effect 2 on insanity has been rather easy. :)

[MrAvataraddicted]

@sugarlessrobots praetorians are what make me2 on insanity real hard everything else (collectors,mercs,loyalty missions,scions husks) suck hard.mass effect 1 was much easier on insane

[jamminjago]

Praetorian: Oh noes, stalagmites, my only weakness.

[XFusionUK]

@jamminjago This.

[03flare15star1990]

@jamminjago Ymir: Hahahaha isn't it everyones lol

[wethset]

I'm not at this mission yet, playing as a sentinel, my idea is just choose miranda and grunt. Grunt of course take lots a damage, miranda helps me with warp. And as "special" hability i use warp amunition, with SMG and dual warp, i easilly killed the first praetorian!

[HotaruZoku]

I like the red box at the start. Thoughtful of you for those that might have mis clicked.

Dug the music too. Nice ring around the collector pillar. Those things are weird for me...either hella easy or 5-load hard.

[XFusionUK]

Thanks for the kind comments! Truth be told, I only really started replying to comments after seeing this one. Haha.

Thanks again!

[terminator117s]

No offense, but I think this si the worst strategy against this Praetorian I've ever seen.

[XFusionUK]

No offense taken; this was an early video of the game. Sentinels make this game rather hard. :)

[LolSpoonage]

quite easy as an adept, a few warps drops his barrier he keeps putting up and the SMG with incendiary ammo drops his shields bar relatively nicely.

[TarenReyem]

if you dont have warp the collector beam is ok for taking out the barier, but it sucks balls against the armor

[SinerAthin]

I beat it a couple of times on insanity as a soldier, no deaths.

It is actually very easy.

Just kite it around and use sprint+adrenaline run to get from cover to cover. Do not start shooting the Preatorian until you've killed all the adds that join into the fight.

Use Adrenaline + Sniper.

Basically, just take your time and whittle it down. Praetorians move slow and the slightest object stops its 'ray of death'. Give your squad incindenary and disrupter ammo while you draw its fire.

[killallianceftw]

Teamates with warp or reave are a must. if you have M920 cain this thing is wasy as can be

[m0eb1us00]

Nice gameplay and great choice of music!

I'm at this part right now, (only in veteran though), and am pretty frustrated. :) Guess I chose a terrible team to fight him. (Tali and Jacob - didn't know I'll be up against a praetorian...)

[XFusionUK]

Thanks for the comment! Sorry about the late reply; by now you've probably already beaten the game on insanity.

Make sure to bring a good team if you haven't tried insanity, yet. You might just end up like me in this video otherwise! :)

[Markynaz]

Praetorian is one touch son of a bitch to take down, I saved my Cain just for them - oh and also on Garrus' loyalty, against two YMIR's.

[gettotheGate]

I was trying to describe a praetorian to my friend, and all I could say was "You ever heard the saying 'like a bat out of hell'? Well, the praetorian is the bat in question,"

[bl00dwingz]

Recommend using Adrenaline Rush and sniping the husks and 2 Collectors before engaging the Praetorian. Also used Ad. Rush to flee from it when it came close. This battle was nothing compared to the battle on the platforms earlier in this level.

[TarenReyem]

@ bl00dwingz agreed, that platform fight is fucking ridiculous, hardest part of the game imo

[etocadet]

my shep was the ultimate soldier i advanced trained him in all bullet types he knew fuck all biotics but by god he could blow things out the sky

[SonicAngel2020]

That bitch took a Cain 920 on insanity. It was left ith 25 % armor but by the time you can do anything it recharges it's barrier, a couple of concussion shots and the Widow sniper rifle make the Praetorian you little bitch. fight never took more than 20 seconds.

[Italianchef26]

that tech shield it's pretty cool, i've to try it. however, i killed that thing with the Geth sniper and incineration power, it takes about 5-6 hits with the sniper, and all the flaming attacks u can

[SilentShadowLT]

Not the best choise, biotics on insanity are next to worthless. Tech armor get's stripped too fast.

I use the Infiltrator. The fight takes three times less time and there's no need to waste medigel. Also shotguns are just short range snipers in this game, making them highly uneffective on insanity. Other then that. Nice one.

[TheRedEyeChannel]

they're not so bad. Use allies to strip enemies of shield/barrier. And anyone caught in singularity is dead in one hit after you warp them. And since biotics curve around obstacles, you can hide all day in cover.

Still, Infiltrator is the best.

[shanghaikid2007]

he's a vanguard, the glowing is fortification, the bonus power of grunt. it just happens to look like the tech armor of a sentinel

[XFusionUK]

I was actually playing as a Sentinel, here. :)

[shanghaikid2007]

whoops, now i feel retarded. i wasn't looking at the right action bars. i play on 360, lol. i think i'd be lazy for this and just use the cain, doing my insanity playthrough right now, just about to do the collector's ship

[blairdom]

pretty easy to identify he's a Sentinel by just looking at his mapped power on the 5 key - it's the sentinel armor

[Carleton666]

where do you find that helmet :P ?

[sharpieman1]

why are u glowing at the end and what are all the skills sentinels offer?

[XFusionUK]

Video post-processing. Nothing to do with the game.

Also, there a quite a few skills. I'm sure Google will be able to tell you, though. :)

[FL00Fee]

sentinels all the way hehe

[XFusionUK]

Totally. :)

[manwiththemachinegun]

Holy crap, how did you manage to get concussive shot, incendiary ammo, and a shotgun for a Sentinel! Please tell.

[XFusionUK]

All of those powers were from my team. The power bar below the top one belongs to your teammates.

[XFusionUK]

Actually, you can grab a shotgun by picking it at a specific point in the game. Not going to spoil anything for you. :)
