Act 3 – Priority: Earth — Mass Effect 3 eGuide

The Citadel is now in orbit over Earth, in the heart of Reaper-controlled space. A final assault on Earth is the only way to deliver the Crucible to the Citadel and defeat the Reapers. Launch the assault on Earth when ready.

MISSION BRIEFING

Battlegrounds: The battle arenas during this last mission are as varied as ever. You’ll fight uphill, across labyrinthine plazas, through war-torn buildings, and across narrow brute-filled alleys, and you’ll even find yourself surrounded by enemies at a deadly intersection.

Once again, adaptable players with varied skill sets will have the easiest time changing from one battleground to the next. However, that doesn’t mean it’ll be easy. You’ll fight across the full gamut of Reaper forces all the way from lowly Husks to a Reaper Destroyer.

Conserve your Medi-Gel packs during this mission as much as possible and use them only to revive fallen squadmates. The final few waves of enemies will test you and push you to your limit.

Consequence Overview: Although you have a major choice after dealing with the Illusive Man, these choices are all morally gray. You may feel that destroying the Reapers is the Paragon option or that controlling them to leave the galaxy in better condition is the Paragon choice. Regardless of what you choose, you’ll get a major Reputation bonus.

Paragon/Renegade

You can convince the Illusive Man of his own indoctrination, after which he ends his own life (by either shooting himself or by storming directly into your line of fire).

This is actually a series of Paragon/Renegade persuasion options that get progressively harder. To complete the final persuasion successfully, you must have used a persuasion on the Illusive Man in every one of your earlier conversations—on Mars, Thessia, in the Illusive Man’s base, and the three previously in this conversation.

Final Upgrades

This is it. The last chance to get upgraded weapons, mods, or reassign powers before the end of the line. Stop by the shuttle bay if you want to make any last-minute purchases, or visit the medical bay to reassign powers. There’s no turning back here.
