Crazy-TrainZ28 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 (edited) I found out about this glitch when i reloaded a previous save to go back and complete more missions with the Asari because the trophy for completing most of the game with her didn't pop... I completed the rest of the game again and my complete 2 playthroughs trophy popped... I had already imported my character and started a new career before i did that though... I achieved both my Hardcore & Insanity trophies using this glitch. For Insanity just repeat steps 3-8. I hope this helps you if you were having a rough time with any part of the difficulty trophies in this game. So here's what you do to get your 2 playthroughs, Hardcore & Insanity trophies the EASY way. 1. Make a save after you reach Saren the first time in the Citidel, before you go down to the final fight. 2. Complete the game. 3. Reload the save you made in step 1. 4. Change the difficulty to Hardcore/Insanity and save over your save from step 1. (remember to SAVE your settings before you exit the settings screen) 5. Start a new career and import your character that you just beat the game with. 6. Change the difficulty to Hardcore/Insanity while on the Normandy. (remember to save your settings before you exit the settings screen) 7. When you are on Eden Prime make another separate save. 8. Reload your previous save from step 4 and beat the game.

CadManv2 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 This could be helpful for some people dude! Is it just the once you have done it? Can you confirm 100% it works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet find then mate! 😊 I'm just starting a play through, so I'm sure there are others who can confirm this before me?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colepachi Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I can say I just tried this for both hardcore and insanity and can say that it works 100%. I made a mistake the first time I tried it because I did not confirm changes and exit on the options screen to change the difficulty. Make sure you do that and you will get the trophies.

psfanboy123 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Will try this asap, have no problem doing it legit having already beaten 2 on insanity but i don't mind a short cut. Thanks a bunch! It's funny because i started my second playthrough today and you posted this today as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy-TrainZ28 Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 Nice work crazy. This will certainly help. Thanx man! I try to help with whatever i can, whenever i can... just wish i had a PC to write guides on because doing those through a PS3 browser seems impossible lol...

psfanboy123 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 So i also can now say that this works 100% after forgetting to save in proper places on my first try i got it to work properly the second and third time. Thank you again and kudos for bringing this to our attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aepriz Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Hardcore and insanity are really easy in this game compared to ME2/3 but this is a time saver though, a real big one. I already got the plat so I have no need for the glitch, but I can see this being handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andersfriden Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 can someone tell me if this glitch works after a full hardcore playthrough to glitch insane mode only? by the way, I didn't fully understand the author's explanations. Can someone be clearer about when to save? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-Smith-UK Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Nice find I think I will do this after I completed my first run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamCaboose Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Interesting glitch, but I don't think I'll use it. I'm using an Adept and I have the special Spectre Assault Rifle. I started the game from level 1 on Hardcore (don't have Insanity yet), and the game got easier and easier. Once I got the Spectre Assault Rifle the game pretty much became Casual.

Eris Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Great find! As it stands I'll most likely do it legit, but may use it for insanity mode if I find it tedious to play again after a hardcore playthrough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PainOfDemise Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Always nice to find work arounds like this, but Insanity is a cakewalk to begin with. You have to do at least three playthroughs anyway, so the glitch isn't even needed. I'm sure there will still be some people who will use it and find Insanity troublesome anyway.

Can someone be clearer about when to save? This is what I did. After you fight Saren/ or he commits suicide save the game before approaching the Citadels main control terminal. Finish game. Reload the save you made and change difficulty level and save the settings. Quit to main menu. Start new game and import that character. On the Normandy change difficulty, save settings AND make a new save. On Eden Prime make ANOTHER new save. Quit to main menu. Reload the save that is just before the final fight and beat the game. Then Hope this helps! Edited April 23, 2013 by psfanboy123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leptonic Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Good find crazy! it comes VEERY helpful! Now I just need time to invest in the game again lol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartans07 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Thank you so much for this! This helped sooooooo much! I really did not want to play through Insanity at all... I'm glad that this platinum is almost over! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CadManv2 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 After getting the full 1000 on my 360 when it first came out, this will enable me to do 3 quick and easy playthroughs so thank you! Just wanted to confirm it worked for me too 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym1989 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I can 100% confirm this trick worked, although when I did it for Hardcore I accidentally started a new game without importing a character, I still got the trophy though, I've also just used the trick for Insanity (although I made sure to import my character this time), thanks for this useful glitch, all I have to do is get all the Adept power trophies and the remaining ally trophies (Garrus and Wrex) and then I'll have my platinum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mullinavat Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 How does this glitch help the trophy? I still have to do 3 playthroughs anyway, don't I? What about the ally trophies as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
