Mass Effect 3 trophy guide | Original-release differences | 6/6

Mass Effect 3 trophy guide | Original-release differences | 6/6 This is NOT the Legendary Edition list. Original PS3 has 51 base trophies including platinum, plus 18 DLC trophies: 69 total. Original Xbox 360 has 50 base achievements plus 18 DLC: 68, with no platinum. The original PS3 platinum does not require those DLC packs. The story and basic combat tasks above largely carry over. Shield Breaker is called Overload Specialist in the original; use Shepard’s own Overload. Original Master and Commander uses effective military strength: reach at least 4,000 EMS before launching Cerberus Headquarters. Galactic Readiness affects that figure, unlike LE’s reworked system. The 16 extra original base-game objectives: • Long Service Medal: finish ME3 twice, or once with an imported ME2 save. • Insanity: finish on Insanity without changing difficulty after leaving Earth. Set it at the start to be safe. • Paramour: establish or renew a full romance; follow the partner’s meetings and commitment scenes. • Recruit / Soldier / Veteran: kill 250 / 1,000 / 5,000 enemies. Original ME3’s Veteran is 5,000, not the LE shared-list 2,000. • Bruiser: get 100 melee kills. • Enlisted: customize a single-player character, or create a multiplayer character. • Tourist / Explorer: finish 2 / 5 N7 missions, or 1 / 3 multiplayer matches. • Tour of Duty: finish all six N7 missions: Cerberus Lab, Cerberus Attack, Cerberus Abductions, Cerberus Fighter Base, Communication Hub and Fuel Reactors. Alternatively, clear the six original multiplayer maps. • Almost There / Peak Condition: reach single-player level 50 / 60, or multiplayer level 15 / 20. An ME2 import and NG+ help with the single-player route. • Battle-Scarred: import a completed ME3 character into a new run, or promote a level-20 multiplayer character. • Unwavering: complete all 27 counted single-player missions on Insanity in one run, including the missable combat side missions and all six N7 jobs. The counter should be 24/27 before Cerberus Headquarters; the final Earth mission counts twice. Alternatively, clear the six original multiplayer maps on Gold. Only doing the main story is not enough for the single-player route. • Defender: get all five theaters of war to 100% Galactic Readiness at the same time through the original online readiness system. Readiness decays, so work on it in one stretch. Current PS3/Xbox 360 service availability has not been live-tested for this draft; LE has no Defender trophy or multiplayer. SPOILERS: the original DLC lists. The four retained LE DLC trophies above also exist in these packs. FROM ASHES • Prothean Expert: finish Priority: Eden Prime and recruit Javik. • Freedom Fighter: collect all three Cerberus intel terminals before the mission ends. Check the first accessible building right of the landing route, the first building left after the bridge/initial Cerberus fight, and the computer room opposite the building with the bypassed Prothean-data door. Get them before returning to the pod for the finale; you cannot revisit afterward. LEVIATHAN • No Stone Unturned: finish the Garneau investigation on the mining asteroid. • Family Matters: rescue Ann Bryson at the dig site. • Conspiracy Theorist: during the first Bryson-lab investigation, collect and apply Creature Sightings, Element Zero and Reaper Activities until only one system remains. Don’t leave with several destinations. The Reaper-data decryption clue is upstairs in Bryson’s room. • Under Pressure: finish Leviathan, as above. OMEGA • Talon: reach the Talon leader during the Omega story. • Meticulous: finish all three bunker side jobs. Accept the hacker and mechanic jobs on the first visit; activate the three hacker terminals and collect the Kehri inverter at Talon HQ, then return it to the mechanic. Accept Harrot’s couch search on the next bunker visit. Later, use the dam controls, climb down and inspect the submerged couch before moving on. Keep saves before bunker visits because these jobs are missable and have reported tracking problems. • Savior: finish Omega, as above. CITADEL • Priority Target: survive the opening restaurant/mercenary attack. • High Society: finish the casino infiltration. • Team Player: finish the Citadel Archives mission. • Last Resort: finish the main Citadel story, as above. • Perfect Host: buy party supplies, invite your friends using the apartment terminal and finish hosting the party. • King of the Castle: win an arcade prize. The claw machine upstairs in Castle Arcade is the quick option. • Simulated Hero: score at least 9,999 in one Armax match on Normal or higher. Use tougher enemies and positive score modifiers, keep the kill streak going and collect between-round bonuses. It does not need to be exactly 9,999. • Technical Issues: complete arena email challenges and buy arena unlocks until the “Unusual Scores” chain appears. Follow its requested match setups and finish the final glitched/Fatal Error fight. Check the arena terminal’s mail between matches. • The One and Only: win the N7 Mirror Match on Normal or higher, as above. That is the original-release difference list, kept separate so you don’t chase trophies removed from Legendary Edition. Original online-service status and an exact displayed-number trigger for LE Master and Commander are not claimed as universally verified here.
