In this part of the video, the creator provides a detailed guide on how to achieve the best ending in the legendary edition of Mass Effect 3. The key action is collecting war assets, which involves thorough scanning of every system in the game, although it can be a grind due to Reapers chasing the player.
To prepare efficiently, players are advised to complete all possible assignments in Mass Effect 1 and 2. The video highlights several significant choices that impact point accumulation in Mass Effect 3. For example, letting Major Kirrahe die during the Virmire mission yields more points. Similarly, making specific decisions in Mass Effect 1, like letting Balak live in the “Bring Down the Sky” DLC or saving both Shiala and the colonists on Feros, contributes to the war asset total. The video emphasizes the importance of choices like whether to save Kaiden or Ashley and the fate of Rex on Virmire, along with curing the genophage, to maximize asset points.

In this segment, the video addresses the decision of whether to save or abandon the council in a game, breaking down the point implications of each choice. Abandoning the council earns favor with Admiral Michaelevich and 100 total points by not losing alliance fleet points, while also potentially gaining 70 points by saving the new Salarian counselor in Mass Effect 3. Conversely, saving the council grants access to the Solarium third fleet and the Destiny Ascension, both together worth 195 points.
Moving on to Mass Effect 2, the focus is on ensuring all squad mates survive the suicide mission, as each member is worth 25 points, adding up through minor missions in Mass Effect 3. Upgrading the Normandy SR2 ship and completing loyalty missions is essential to prevent deaths during the suicide mission and secure additional points.
For Mass Effect 3, retaining Mordin’s data ensures Eve survives and nets 50 points if the genophage is cured. Diplomatic solutions between Tali and Legion provide further benefits, ensuring that the war ends peacefully without additional losses. Overwriting the geth heretics during Legion’s loyalty mission is advised to minimize point losses, and completing certain DLCs like Overlord and Arrival provides additional war assets and prevents point losses.
The segment concludes by discussing the decision concerning the collector base, where destroying it awards the reaper heart.
