Mass Effect Legendary Edition guide with everything you need to know to save the galaxy
We've got all of the Mass Effect Legendary Edition guides you need
Having a Mass Effect Legendary Edition guide such as this to hand will help you to walkthrough all three entries in the trilogy, as there's a huge amount of content included within this remastered package. On top of the main games, it also includes almost every element of single-player DLC that has been released, extending your adventures as Commander Shepard significantly beyond the central storylines. With so much on offer, you'll want to make sure you're not missing out on anything, which is why we've assembled this complete set of Mass Effect Legendary Edition walkthrough guides covering areas such as romances, weapons, and how to achieve the best endings available at the conclusion of each game. Slide into your spacesuit, and we'll get started.
Mass Effect 1 guides
ME1 romance guide
Things are fairly low-key when you look back at the original Mass Effect romance, as you only have a couple of squad members you can pursue relationships with, but we've got all the details you need to get wooing.
ME1 keepers guide
Mass Effect keepers are the workers who beaver away to keep the Citadel fully operational, and for one of the side quests you need to scan all of these unusual creatures, so we've tracked down all of their locations for you.
ME1 endings guide
You have the possibility of two different Mass Effect endings you can reach at the conclusion of your first adventure, so we've got a rundown of the significant choices that affect which one you'll receive and highlight the impact they have on the future story.
Mass Effect 2 guides
ME2 romance guide
Things start to get spicy with the sequel's Mass Effect 2 romance options, as there are now three different squad members you can have a relationship with, plus the addition of some side romances too. The process is a little more complicated this time around, so let us walk you through all of the steps required to find love.
ME2 loyalty guide
Mass Effect 2 loyalty is a very important aspect to holding your crew together, as it affects your relationships and directly determines each of the individual members' chances of surviving the final Suicide Mission, so follow our guidance to get everyone on board and working towards the same goal.
ME2 weapons guide
From the standard assault rifles and shotguns all the way up to what looks like a tactical nuke launcher, there's a wide range of Mass Effect 2 weapons to choose from, so we've got all the details on where to find them and what they do.
ME2 endings guide
There are several different Mass Effect 2 endings you can attain, and although they mainly revolve around deciding to save or destroy the Collector Base, there are other elements involved to keep your squad alive during the final Suicide Mission. We've got the information on what actions to take, and who to assign to which role, so that you can get the best ending possible.
Mass Effect 3 guides
ME3 romance guide
The Mass Effect 3 romance options really open things up, as there are now ten possible paramours that you can engage with, depending on what actions you took in the previous game. The requirements for romance are less strict in this third instalment, but we've got a walkthough of how to commit to a relationship with each character.
ME3 weapons guide
There's now an arsenal of over thirty different Mass Effect 3 weapons available to utilize during the course of the game, though a significant number of them must be found during specific missions, so follow our complete walkthrough that highlights where every shooter can be obtained.
ME3 armor guide
Different pieces of Mass Effect 3 armor don't just make Shepard look good, but they also increase particular stats to give you an edge in combat. These can either be collected during certain missions or bought from vendors later, and again we've got a complete walkthrough of their locations.
ME3 planet scanning guide
Mass Effect 3 planet scanning is the best way to increase your resources so you can prepare for the final battle against the Reapers, and we've got the locations of all war assets, artifacts, intel, credits, and fuel available in the galaxy.
ME3 endings guide
There are multiple Mass Effect 3 endings available, and which ones you can access are directly impacted by the amount of Effective Military Strength you've built up during the campaign, determining which choices you can access and how well things will turn out. We've got all of the different outcomes explained, along with the exact amount of EMS needed to achieve the best ending.
