Mass Effect 2 - FemShep vs Jedore - Final Showdown on Korlus

In my last post, I had mentioned that I was going to take on Jedore next, and anticipated the fight to be real tough! Was I ever correct!

After 6 reloads, I finally managed to take down Jedore and her cronies in Insanity (NG+) difficulty. To be honest, the boss lady and her pet Ymir mech were not much of a challenge, but the Krogan berserkers made the difference this time. In that cramped space - yup, cramped, considering that if you venture out from the safety of those pillars, the Ymir would happily ventilate you - taking down the berserkers was quite a challenge. I emptied my grenade launcher in there. I don't regret it, though!

Finally, it took proper positioning of Samantha (FemShep) and her squad to turn this seemingly impossible battle to a challenging one. And even then, Miranda and Jacob fell halfway through the battle, leaving Samantha to deal with the remaining Krogan berserker, the mech, and of course, Jedore herself. 

Check out the video below:

Phew! How do I feel now? Exhausted, and exhilarated at the same time!

Next stop... Omega! It's time to say hello to Vakarian!

Mass Effect 2 - Korlus - Krogan Assault

After getting Jack to side with FemShep on the battle against the Collectors, I decided to pick up Grunt next. I still haven't picked up Mordin/Garrus, so Horizon is still quite some distance away.

Anyway, after landing on Korlus, FemShep and party faced off squad after squad of Blue Suns mercs. And then came the Krogans!

I have fought through this area on lower difficulty settings (with other Shepards), but this journey was tiresome. You won't believe how much punishment a Krogan can take in Insanity (NG+) difficulty! It's like someone pumps them with an uber-dose of the strongest steroids the universe has managed to concoct so far! Add to that their hardened armor, which does not seem to take much damage from gunfire, and you will have some idea about the kind of challenge these brutal adversaries can pose.

Thankfully, my Adept FemShep packed a mean Warp and an assortment of biotic powers... but even then it took quite some time to nail each Krogan.

Have a look!

I'm presently in Rana Thanoptis' room, and shall be taking on Jedore soon. I'll try to post a vid of that encounter as well. If these fights are any indication, I anticipate that one would be a hell of a challenge!
