Mass Effect 3 Hints

Reaper Chamber Combat Tips

  • 1 of 8: Watch for a phantom to come down the stairs after you, and quickly shoot it down before it can reach you.
  • 2 of 8: Take cover against the left railing and move to where you can snipe at the nemesis and other troopers who are up on a higher walkway. (Note that there's a shield pylon up there that you might want to take out first.)
  • 3 of 8: After you kill off several troopers, watch for more to enter the area. Some of them, including another phantom, will come over to the top of the stairs.
  • 4 of 8: When you've shot down all the enemies you can from there, go up the stairs and along the next walkway section to find any remaining ones.
  • 5 of 8: Move along until you come to a ladder, then climb it and go down to a second ladder.
  • 6 of 8: Quicksave, then climb it and start firing on the troopers that are on the walkway ahead. Try to take down the phantom quickly, and watch out for red sniper scope beams.
  • 7 of 8: After doing some initial shooting, you may want to slide back down the ladder and take cover against the railing. It'll be harder to hit your targets from there, but it'll be much harder for them to hit you (except perhaps for the nemesis sniper).
  • 8 of 8: After everything except the nemesis is down, climb back up the ladder and take cover against the railing. Shoot out the shield pylon that's near the nemesis, then take him down.
