Mass Effect (PC) Insanity Vanguard P25: Missing Marines

[808Hybrid]

Its funny when i first saw a thresher maw i had a conversation with my friend asking him if there were any monster while driving the tank and he was like "no", than BOOM THREASER MAW

[Ganondorfys]

haha those things are like in the Tremors movies

[lastxwriter]

Holy crap! THAT's a thresher maw?! That thing's terrifying and a half. (And really makes me wonder how a Shepard with Sole Survivor managed to escape those things.)

[PlanToRule]

The first time I came up against a Thresher Maw I s**t myself.

There was no heads up or anything. I was just exploring a random planet and then all of a sudden this thing just pops up from the ground and starts spitting at me.

Talk about insta-skid marks.

[Shiverleaf]

I always play around with the thrusters when I drive the Mako, it's great xD

[Australian123Gamer]

haven't been able to see the videos so its nice to seem them agian thanks for the videos

[OutlookJonas]

A good way to tell is to look for an objective that is in the middle of circular like flat field. They are almost always there.

[ByYourCommand]

Yeah, any completely flat land I avoid like the plague. Slightly bumpy terrain is fine, and the really rocky stuff is fine, but flat ground I stay away from. Even when my ship is first dropped off, I don't move until I can find the shortest distance to to some rocky ground. I'm weird like that!

[RunsWithScissors61]

Thresher Maws are found on:

-Trebin

-Antibaar

-Edolus

-Xawin

-Nonuel

-Chohe

-Nepheron

-Presrop

So if you aren't on one of those planets, you're safe.

[ByYourCommand]

Cheers dude, thats really helpful to know for any future playthroughs I might have!

[ByYourCommand]

Call me strange, but these things are the reason I literally stick to riding on the rocky, slightly vertical lands.

I've always had this weird like, phobia I guess, of things underneath me in games. Whether the surface be water, ground etc...doesn't matter, I always get freaked out knowing theres something under the surface. Wish there was a way to tell where these things could be!

[Sciprino]

dude i know exactly how you feel... i hate fighitng these things until they're above ground... which is why i try to get kinda close to them so that they stay up

[ByYourCommand]

Yeah, if I'm forced into an obvious situation with them, like the mission in the video, then I go out slowly, and when they surface, I get a bit closer to them, then stay there, just using my thrusters to jump over their projectiles, cause I know that if I move, they move, and I hate that!

[MistressDracona]

those things scare the crap out of me every time they pop up out of the ground

[Stealthspectre]

Heh, yeah, know what you mean. Especially when you don't know there's one there. Even when I know one is lurking, waiting to ambush the Mako, they still make me jump.

[MistressDracona]

They kinda remind me of that movie, Tremors. That movie scares the crap out of me too. :P

[Stealthspectre]

Heh, yeah, they are very similar indeedy.

[dreyshock]

Heh this planet kinda reminds me of Tatooine from Star Wars with its desert and dust storms. And that Thresher is sorta the mobile equivalent of the Sarlaac monster :) You'd think though, that it'd have enough intelligence to surface from more than 2 locations if it wants to ambush them. Driving that Mako all around the place must be fun though.

[Stealthspectre]

It's very similar to Tatooine, I agree. The threshers are lethal, instakills if you get too close, but it's useful that they tend to surface within a certain radius, so the retreat and shoot tactic works well, although I've never encountered a regenerating thresher before.

[Stealthspectre]

The Mako is definitely fun to drive, exploring the planets, although when I first started playing it took me a while to get used to driving it. I'm using keyboard and mouse, and the Mako can be a tad twitchy at times.
