If I’m going to have to go through Insanity again, at least I can have the level 10 Black Widow sniper rifle. This helped a lot!

Kind of funny that picking up some medi-gel I didn’t need on Menae was what dinged Dick to max level 60. I’ll take it!

Since I already had the trophy for doing all the missions on Insanity, I did main missions only during this run. A LOT of people died (was very horrified to find Cerberus turned Jack into a Phantom because I didn’t save her school).
I also only had the Control option at the end of the game, but at least it was under 10 hours. So glad that’s over with!
The final ‘boss’ of the game proved to be a bit of a pain in the ass this time around. During my first Insanity run I had no issues at all, beating it handily on my first try. This time, however, the group of 3 Husks and the final Marauder utterly destroyed me multiple times. I guess I just got lucky on my first try?
Some internet research (i.e. cheating) led me to forums that gave me a few helpful tips. You ultimately gotta git gud at aiming with wobbly (and probably indoctrinated) Shepard. I suppose it’s a miracle he survived the Reaper laser to the face at all so can’t fault him for having aiming issues.

Insanity is done!! But there were still two trophies left to clean up. I put the game on the super freaking easy Narrative difficulty (I think I earned it after doing Insanity twice) and made a new default Jane Shepard with the Sentinel class. My other two Shepard’s didn’t have the Overload ability, which was needed for this trophy.
Being in god mode and not having to cover at all made combat such a refreshing breeze. I had easily racked up 100 shield destructions when I got to the N7 Benning mission. There are few things as entertaining as zapping an enemy Engineer trying to setup a turret!
Trophy 50: Veteran

In an extremely anticlimactic ending to this multi-hour quest to save the galaxy several times, the last thing I needed to do for the platinum trophy was kill a random Husk during the Reaper rachni discovery mission. Congrats to that creepy Husk for being my 5,000th confirmed kill! 🎉
Trophy 51: N7 Elite
Official Description: Acquire all trophies.

And sweet platinum is mine!! I immediately shut the game down after it popped (sorry, Jane Shepard’s galaxy). I love this game, but I’ve definitely had my fill of it for now.
