I'm at the trap of the Collector Ship and I'm finding it really difficult, I have got a Sentinel with fully evolved Warp and Tech armor, I made a bad choice in picking Anti Armor ammo as my bonus power and I cannot get back to the Normandy to change it, even by loading the restart level.

I tried taking Thane and Miranda with fully upgraded Warp but they also get incapacitated by the Scion which I cannot take out without being bum-rushed by Harbinger :/

I guess I am looking for any helpful tips for this part because it's killing me :/

Which part cause the whole collector ship is a trap? The way I beat the part with the big ass beast is when you first get in the room you need to take out all the collectors and husk. After that there is a big piller to the left of the door that closes on you, once you get to this piller get the big ass beast thing to follow you and just keep running in circles around it until your team kills him.

A good person to use in your team is Morden and his incinerate power is good against Armor. Also, have a person with Pull or Combat Drone. Pull is great to remove a guy from battle when they just have health left, great against husks. Combat Drones just take the attention away from you and allows you to take someone out.

I dont know if you do this, but use your commands and hotkeys. Place your teammates in strategic spots and flank the enemy. Using hotkeys just allows you to use powers quickly when youre in a bind.

So yeah, use people with biotic powers like Pull or Throw or Tech powers like Incinerate and Combat Drones, and tell your allies where to go. Oh and make an effort to make heatshots.

Besides that, take things slow, use cover and you should be good.

One thing that I found helpful is to take out all the other collectors first, try to avoid the harbinger if you can because if you kill him he will just take over another collector and have full health and sheilds again . . .

The Scion attack is easy to avoid it always goes in a straight line and as long as your not to close you will have time to move . . .

This was I think the most difficult part on insanity for me but I also started on insanity on my first playthru and didn't have a high ranked character, I also used soilder class, nothing beats carrying 6 weapons . . .

The Adrenaline Rush power is SO useful on this difficulty and the sniper rifle rocks when you get a headshot, so powerful.

I used Mordin (Incinerate)) and Samara (Throw)...... Thane (warp and throw) and Miranda (Smash or Lift? and Warp) are good choices too. All are good when you have earned their loyalty powers. If you have picked up the M90 Cain, use it. Otherwise use the battle rifle and sniper rifle. Do what you can to get rid of the Scions that show up. Once they are down have your team focus on the Harbingers while you take care of the other enemies (This allows you to limit how many Habingers appear)

I just beat it on Insanity today. So awesome! The end wasn't as hard as earlier parts in the game, it was actually pretty straight forward. Used Miranda and Thane for their Warp power, super useful. That plus the last Assualt rifle you get in the game, forget the name. It has a 80 round clip. Despite not getting the loyality of every character, only three died. Thane died at the end, Mordin died saving the crew and Tali got shot in the face by a rocket...hilariously sad.

Sorry to bump this but does anyone know the name/location of an easy anomaly...ie one with NO fighting. I remember doing one where you just have to solve a puzzle and turn on a generator. I need a few filler missions before I can go through the Omega 4 Relay and beat this damned game on Insane.

Im fairly certain you still get the achievement. I played through on insane and did not do a single loyalty mission and still got the achievement for beating the game on insane. It cuts the game time to like 10 hours if you skip everything and just play through the main story saving you a lot of the headache.

If you do none of the loyalty missions in the the ending cutscene...

TBH, as long as the ach pops, I don't care who lives + dies. I am not going to keep this save after I am done.
