When you regain control, you will be on a floating platform, complete with itsown cover to play with, so you can probably guess what is coming. Not longafter you have your bearings, we are back in the action. Another floatingplatform will come in and halt to the right of our current position. Kill thethree drones here, and a second platform will arrive at the front side of ourplatform. Defeat the drones and an assassin on this one and subsequently athird platform will fly in and stop to the left. This will have a pair ofdrones and a Harbinger aboard. Kill them and move to the platform in front ofyou.
Another , larger platform will stop to the front of the other platforms andbring a Haringer, a collector assassin and several drones along for the ride.Killing the baddies populating this area will trigger another platform to dockon the front side of the area once again. This one has a group of abominationsand a pair of scions on it. Eliminate these and then take their place on thelast platform. Use the console here to activate the platform.
After riding the platform into the next area during a short scene, you will beable to see the final boss. Above him are four tubes filled with some form ofglowing red death fluid. After taking in the environment, get ready to fightonce more! Another platform filled with collector assassins and a harbingerwill attach to the right of the main platform. Fight these enemies off and oncethey are all dead, you will see the tubes above the bad guy turn red. At thispoint, you can take free aim and attack one of the glowing red tubes until itshatters.
After blowing up the first tube, a second platform full of drones and guardianswill attach to th left. Kill them, then destroy another tube. A third platformwill come in from the right with drones and a harbinger. Eliminate them andthen pop a third tube. A fourth platform will fly in from the left, kill thedrones piloting this one and destroy the fourth and final injection tube towatch a scene.
After a lengthy conversation and a big decision or two, the big boy we justdropped will return for a boss fight.
The final confrontation of Mass Effect 2 is none other than the giantmonstrosity we just dropped during the previous combat encounter. Fortunately,despite his size, this guy is fairly easy.
The reapers attacks consist of a missile volley he launches from his mouth anda slam move in which he brings down his hand on you if you get too close. Bothof these can do a massive amound of damage, but if you stay in cover he will beunable to hit you. unfortunately he also has the nasty habit of havingcollectors come and fight for him. So you must be vigilant and take them out assoon as is humanly possible between attacks on the boss.
The reapers weak spots are easily identified by the red glowing crystals. Theseoccur in two major areas on the boss, there are several on his head taking theplace of his eyes, and a single large crystal where his hear would be. Most ofthe time, the weak spot on his chest will be hiden, so focus on doing as muchdamage as possible to his eyes. Whilst you are not mobbed by collectors, focuson and dish damage out to the boss's weak spots and he will fall in no time.
Congratulations! You finished Mass Effect 2
