In Mass Effect 3...How would you destroy the Reapers?

[springheeljack]

Shepherds going to take out his dick and slap the reapers with it

I'm honestly convinced that Bioware is going to pull a fast one on us, and have us defeat the Reapers with the Dark Energy that everyone spent so much of ME2 harping on about.

I simply can't see another way we're going to beat the Reapers - not a fleet that big. If Bioware's not going to kill them off with dark energy, then it's going to have a hell of a time finding another plausible reason for us to be able to kill the bastards.

Their size is the problem. My guess would be a solution which disables (i.e. kills) them rather than destroys them. A disabling mechanic (like a virus or EMP) seems to me more plausible than trying to make a weapon or army big enough to destroy them physically.

Problem is, they're supposedly organic machines, so there goes any hope of a computer virus, and firing an EMP just seems like a weak cop out on Bioware's part. Still, it's interesting to speculate, and I've come across a bunch of ideas that I would never have thought of myself

Well, being organic machines, there are other viruses that could be introduced...

Haha, could you imagine that? War of the Worlds, but rather than frail little green men, we have these massive squid monsters dying of common colds Well, it would certainly be an unexpected twist...

Sacrifice myself

Come on we all know he/she will sacrifice himself or herself at the end as the 'Good Ending'

 

[Jenkins]

Lure Reapers to Earth.

Collapse Sun into a black hole.

Profit.

forgot the ??? step.

 

[MercurySteam]

(suck it Wii owners)

Pfft, who needs maturity nowadays?

OP: I'd probably fly the Normandy-SR2 straight into them so I'd be elegance for a new ship. Again.

Spoiler: I'm firing my lazer...

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Make the Reapers be incredibly vulnerable to methane. So much so that it is poisonous to them. That way, Joker can make a joke about farting in their general direction.

 

[The Apothecarry]

25 Killstreak to a Tactical Nuke, suckers!!!

I'd probably just use my Paragon Engineer to try and sweet talk it into bed...AND THEN AI HACK ITS CENTRAL PROCESSORS OUT! SUCK IT, ROBO-ALIEN HATERS!

 

[similar.squirrel]

Corn rigged with EMP devices.

 

[Saulkar]

Lure Reapers to Earth.

Collapse Sun into a black hole.

Profit.

You missed a step.

With air quotes.

Dammit. I'm missing something, and it's probably related to this specific romance scene. What did he say, and what did she say?

Remember how in both Mass Effect's, the turian Council member was snobby and told Shepard to go away with his crazy theories about "The immortal race of sentient starships allegedly waiting in dark space."

I can't wait to point at the Reapers and tell that turian that I win.

Klendagon Description
"Klendagon is an arid terrestrial, slightly larger than Earth, but with a lower density that reflects its relative lack of heavier elements. The crust is composed of tin and aluminum, with wide deserts of dust-fine sand that are easily stirred by the wind.

Klendagon's most striking feature is, of course, the Great Rift valley that stretches across the southern hemisphere. What is most fascinating about the Rift is that it does not appear to be natural. The geological record suggests it is the result of a "glancing blow" by a mass accelerator round of unimaginable destructive power. This occurred some thirty-seven million years ago."

This time, don't miss.

 

[Sarge034]

Why do we want to destroy them?

LOL just had to.

OT- I think Shepperd, my team, and every bro from ME1, ME2, and any from ME3 can take them.

 

[Cowabungaa]

Anything can be solved with a large enough amount of explosives. This definitely includes the Reapers.

 

[Socks and Shoes]

Flying the Normandy into the middle of the horde and detonating some giant prothean kill-fucking-everything bomb that reduces the reapers to ash.

 

[Arkynomicon]

Actually, I will just wake up Godzilla and let him deal with the invasion of Earth.
