Hey just thought I'd save sometime for people who were crushed by the ending of the game, So I present a insanity save :D
When you rehash and resign and put it on your usb, Load the restart mission save, Unfortunately the auto save is just a bit too far for the cheevo to pop.
Now when you do load restart mission (Guess I should say spoilers just in case you clicked this by accident lol) You shall be outside of the citadel's beam thingy :D so you will have to shoot the 3 husks and the 1 marauder, It's pretty simple you may die a few times but totally worth it :D Any who after all that, you will have to hear the conversations again, but I turned off choosing choices thing so it should be a bit faster. Just make sure to renegade interrupt ;D
Anyways after that and some more talking, You will have to make a choice out of 3, Choose whatever one you want. Then after you choose the cheevo should pop up.
If there is any problems i'd be glad to help :D
Kk Enjoy.
*Edit I forgot your gonna need the Dlc from ashes sorry :(

Does this unlock both of the insanity achievements?

Unfortunately it does not, I did the other insane achievement by doing the 6 maps on gold in multiplayer, so I did a speed run of insanity single player and I ended up skipping all the side quests because of that. Sorry

No worries. Thanks for the reply. Im probably going to give insanity a go anyways.

Excellent work, anyways.
I think online Golding will be easier, anyways. I already have about half of them done. The best way to do it is to specifically select each level, and fight the Geth. Then go in to it with all Infiltrators, and make sure everyone has maxed Sabotage skills. With this, you can hack even Geth Primes to fight for you. Makes it a LOT easier to Gold each map.
Also, its a good idea to do it with people you actually know, who are actively trying to obtain the achievement as well. It can take a few tries to get used to each others play styles. What works for us is having two teams of two, so you always have someone watching your back, and you watch theirs. Its also good to verify what equipment everyone has, and to try and bring Disrupter ammo upgrades with you, as they work well against Geth (and Reapers, for that matter).

Exactly how I did it lol We had two Infiltrators, 1 engineer, and a vanguard. We would equip Disrupter ammo and always fight against Geth since they have no instant kill move and since I was a vanguard doing biotic charge/nova combo this was perfect because we would be doing tech burst all the time. I'd also say carry one weapon just because it's amazing to have recharge speed 200% to 150% faster.
But if anyone is gonna do this online multiplayer gold, follow Raoh's Tips and Mine if you want. It's a cakewalk when you have the perfect team against geth on gold :D

LOL, we had a guy doing that but told him to stop it, he was stealing everyones kills and nobody else was getting medals. It caused some rage, lol. Its a good tactic, however. I'd also say slightly vary the classes if you want. If someone has a Krogan soldier, go for it, his powerful melee can one-hit kill anything but a Geth Prime.

haha yeah that's true, but I did play with friends so they didn't mind they just wanted to beat it so hopefully people who play vanguards don't have to much trouble finding a game with people who don't mind

I am attempting to unlock the insanity achievement by following your instructions, but have been unsuccessful thus far. I saved a game after swithching to insanity difficulty right before entering the citadel beam thingy. I put the save file on a usb, and then exited and reloaded just the usb save at that point on insanity, I completed the mission and the achievement didnt pop. I do have the from ashes dlc. Can you help me? Am I missing something?

if your having trouble try using the credit glitch way to get to round 10 and see if you can grab the gold achievement that way, i'm not certain if it will work but worth a shot.

Well then I don't understand why I didn't work, it has worked for others. all I can suggest is just going through all the steps again with your profile id, rehashing and resigning, and make sure in the main menu, it is set to insanity difficulty before you start the save just incase. after that when you load the game make sure you pause first too see if it is on insanity, if so continue all the way too the ending while it's still on insanity, make the choice and hopefully it pops up. other then that I can't really help much if you did everything sorry :(

if you change the difficulty doesnt it null the achivement unless i'm misreading what you did then i'm sorry for interupting.

Nah you can't change the difficulty, I was just saying in the menu when you load the save it should be on insanity if not, make sure it is on the main menu. When in game it has to be insanity or no cheevo. which it should be lol

If you do the credit glitch to wave 10 then you just have to do waves 10 and 11 on gold for each map. just have everybody use rockets and it will be really easy
