Kasumi - Stolen Memory impossible

[dfunckt]

I started a new game on insanity and the first mission I went on after getting the Normandy was the Stolen Memory mission for Kasumi. I had done all the citidel stuff that I could. Unfortunately I overwrote my save on the citidel and now I'm locked into this mission that I can't beat with a low level character. I think making the DLC missions available so early in legendary is a rotten move. Now if I want to revert to an earlier save I have to go all the way back to the point where I first get the Normandy.

Embarrassing

The Kasumi loyalty mission can be pretty tough if you do it very early.

I'm sorry, but this is entirely your fault. It would have been nice of the devs to tell you the recommended level, but we all know they did as little effort as possible for ME2 and 3.

There is no indication at all that it's a DLC mission or I would have avoided it.

If you are avoiding DLC stuff, then you might want to do a bit of research. As far as I know, none of the DLC content is actually marked as such in the Legendary Edition. Its all just mixed in with the normal game stuff (both missions and items).

That's why this frustrated me. The mission is obviously designed for a character that has completed the game and leveled up. It's like being ambushed by the devs when they add the DLC content without giving any indication that it will be impossible to complete with a new character. Arriving on the citidel for the first time Kasumi is the 1st encounter you have in legendary.

What exactly is difficult for you? becuase its actually a very easy mission

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, I may be one of the only players as of now to have Insanity on all 3 Mass Effect games.

It IS possible, I've done it sorta mid-game, stop being an absolute baby.

BUT, I'm not that much of a ♥♥♥♥ to not give you any decent tips. The two best classes for Insanity as far as I know is Soldier (from what I heard from the community) and Infiltrator (the class I used to beat the trilogy). Soldier has all weapons available, and the Adrenaline overcharges weapon damage and slows down time. Infiltrator has an invisibility cloak that increases weapon damage when you fire at an enemy to decloak early. I used WAY more than once to get out of sticky situations. Combined with the Widow rifle and most enemies' protection goes bye-bye. Along with Incinerate and Biotic Ammo from Advanced Training, you could slap like a dumptruck if you wanted to.

You can use Kasumi's Assassination to either instakill or one-hit enemies' shields to help you kill them subsequently. Overload can be used against most enemies and especially against the oncoming LOKI mechs further down the mission and the finale boss.

The Locust WILL BE your best friend if you use a class that has submachine guns, it hits hard and is VERY accurate. Though only you should use it and wait until you get the Tempest further down the game if you ever beat the mission since the AI teammates you go with have perfect aim.

Other than that, stick to cover no matter what and only move whenever you're gonna get absolutely surrounded.

In all fairness, the devs did say the game would include ALL the DLCs. Got caught in the net you made yourself.

Its almost like the "Insanity" difficulty is supposed to be near impossible in difficulty.

near impossible doesn't do it justice but ok

[Canadian Ninja]

Kasumi's loyalty mission can be done the second you recruit her in the original version, and I've always done it very early, sometimes the first thing after clearing citadel 1. I'm not sure where the difficulty is, even on insanity. Maybe the gunship fight?

[DaciValt]

It's not impossible at all, I also personally do it immediately after the citadel to get the locust.

There is alot of enemies yes but so does the Mordin recruitment.

[dfunckt]

I'll admit now that i simply suck at the combat. My post was a rant that has more to do with my lousy skill level than the design of the game. Thanks for the responses. It helped snap me out of the delusion that I will complete the game on insanity.
