10 Mass Effect Trilogy Secrets Many Players Missed - Part 2

[@tylerbaldwin3269]

I respect the man fighting for his 15 credits. He's earned a spot aboard the Normandy.

[@Fizhy]

If anybody can stop the Reapers, he can!

[@justinchamberlin4195]

That man maybe has more tenacity than even Commander Shepard. Definitely an asset in the Reaper War.

[@alexbluer]

i imagine he is in front of a reaper and the reaper is trying to indoctrinating him, but he resist and says "Im not falling for this, i want my 15 credits back and they told me to talk to you, you are not gonna get away with your tricks"

[@CommanderShepard-wq3wo]

Agreed. Then I had Javik throw him out the airlock mid travel

[@artursandwich1974]

Conrad verner also helps with building of the crucible as he knows how to translate some material if you gathered the complete matriarch writings in mass effect 1. He is a PhD as it turns out.

[@LutherMahoney]

but i swore he was addicted to smoking red sand or (space crack) where did he get time to get a PHD?

[@John_shepard]

The most meaningless fulfilling quest I’ve ever done 🫠😂

[@Scottie_S]

Came here to say exactly this! I was amazed that I had spent so much times collecting all those writings. I think there were 10 in all.

[@insignificantgnat9334]

I think you need to help someone else out in a side mission in ME1 in order for him to survive long enough to help, and in order to get the full warscore you need to assist a third person plus acquire a weapons license. That whole story arc was a bunch of trivial and inconsequential plot points paying off in a small way.

[@brokenbiscuit3609]

Man, when I first saw Garrus and Tali together near the end of ME3, I just had the widest smile on my face. It was like seeing your two best friends get together. Made me really happy knowing that when I died after the ending, Garrus wouldn't end up a virgin.

[@JimmyThree-Balls]

Do you not remember the whole "I had reach, she had flexibility" bit?

[@brokenbiscuit3609]

@@JimmyThree-Balls Oh shit you're right.

[@Shadowpack95]

An explanation for how Shepard can hear the Rachni song across space. Since the Prothean Beacon Interaction and Cipher Shepard can feel like a Prothean and what they're hearing is the Rachni's cry for help. The Protheans also were able to communicate by touch and reading their environment with a 6th sense.

[@lamcho00]

White pigeons or doves (in most languages referring to the same bird) are usually a symbol of peace or diplomacy. Makes sense to send doves to the Citadel, where all intelligent species meet. Though good intentions and symbolism can lead to unexpected consequences, like introducing invasive species.

[@weaselwolf8425]

Not only that but one species language can mean something completely different in another. Example: The yahg encountered by the Citadel

[@writershard5065]

Also, even if you find them annoying, they are familiar. They're present in almost every city on earth, so many people would be very familiar with pigeons and doves. So you'd have aliens asking humans about these birds and you'd get a whole variety of responses, some surprised, some annoyed, some happy and some hopeful. All of them being useful conversations to help aliens bond with humans and allow for opportunities of trade and commerce (or even love, but let's not pretend politicians give a toss about that).

[@AudioSpaceGeek]

The keeper walking away from the dead Krogan was one of the creepier moments for me. Makes a lot more sense at the end of 3, but I didn’t look at them the same way after seeing that vid.

[@Rachel06K]

Conrad can be saved during that interaction if you helped Rita’s sister Jenna in ME1! Cool little tie-in between the first and last game, but only if you did the seemingly random side quest. Please keep going on ME content, it’s rare to find anything new being posted so it’s great to see it come back :)

[@darthdragon117]

And then he contributes his research into the Crucible...for one point.

[@hawk66100]

I think it makes more sense for the quest in ME3 to end in Conrad’s death. He absolutely idolized Shepard and he gives his life to save Shepard without hesitation.

[@darthdragon117]

I was going to sleep but a Mass Effect video is always something that can't be passed. And even though I know most of these, I still have to watch them simply because it's Mass Effect 😁

[@gamerboy6787]

Most of these, I missed. Thank you! I liked Conrad. He was hella annoying at first, but he grew on me. He seemed like the kind of person who, although goofy and something of an idiot, was a lovable idiot. With a heart of gold, someone you could wake up at 3 am because your car broke down in a bad part of town, that kinda friend. In a circle of friends, Conrad would be the one who gets teased and is the butt of jokes, but if and when he's gone (i.e. accident, illness), he'll be missed.

[@michaelmontalvo7441]

literally just finished watching the first 3 secrets videos, keep these coming bro, and do more on other games too, maybe the resident evil franchise, Witcher 3, ghost of tsushima or god of war etc.. if there’s enough secrets in those games that is

[@Fizhy]

There's plenty of secrets most games!

[@Randorita]

On Luna in ME1, you can avoid being assaulted by the rocket launching turrets by not finishing the last rooms before going to the next bunker. Fight through all three without finishing until the third one and you can shut down the VI and never see them.

[@nachoyoutube2732]

Its funny because in Spansh "moon" is "luna". I didn't know the English version also called it that way.

[@chellwil6150]

My grandfather bred and raced pigeons when I was growing up, to this day i find the sounds they make relaxing and nostalgic.

[@weaselwolf8425]

Damn if it wasn't for the fact that I'm trying to romance Tali in my current playthough then yeah it definitely works for Garrus and her to be shipped. Damn that was hilarious. That aside it's interesting to find out EDI was the rogue VI from the Moon. I wasn't surprised but I didn't get to access that dialogue in my first playthrough of ME3.

[@danmccormick7285]

You don’t actually have to romance Kelly to save her. I’ve never romanced her but always save her in 3.

[@GamingArcane]

Kelly Chambers can actually die in more then one way in Mass Effect 3. If when talking to her about Cerberus, you pick one of the Renegade dialogue options, Shepard ends up ripping into her much worse then I thought he would, straight up calling her a traitor for feeding Illusive Man info while she was on the ship. This leads to her committing suicide before Cerberus ever attacks the Citadel. I found this out by accident and felt quite a bit like shit afterwards.

[@SebV30]

Yeah, some Renegade actions have consequences you come to regret. There is a fine line between being a hard@ss and a thug. OTOH, defenestrating that mook in ME2 was very satisfying.

[@Anvilshock]

[@MikefromTexas1]

If you help Conrad Verner throughout all 3 games, he reveals that he's a super genius, gives you data for the Crucible, and adds War Assets.

[@ancholatrix3444]

13:35 "He is a man of focus...and sheer fucking will"

[@Dr.Swinehart]

Mass effect 3 was my first Mass effect and i didn't know I wouldn't be able to romance Tali, so walking into 8:49 was betrayal

[@Dr.Swinehart]

it still hurts

[@MrRanosama]

Did you know, even though the Legendary edition uses Kelly's ME3 face instead of her original face, they still use Kelly's original face when talking to her in the Collector base.

[@jarzen]

I have a question, in the "Lair of the Shadow Broker" DLC after you save Liara's friend Feron, he sits in a room where there's a big empty canvas on the wall, sooo random but at the same time it seem is not... WHAT DOES THAT EMPTY CANVAS MEAN???? It drives me crazy.

[@smallvillepodbr3]

Thanks for this video and for part 1. I hope to see more on Mass Effect. All the best!

[@VividJarl]

I get why people shy away from videos these days. They oversaturate YT and usually come across as "10 things you absolutely didn't know" followed by 10 things literally anyone who's done the most basic playthrough would know. You do a fantastic job giving both one side step facts as well as incredibly niche facts all without the clickbait. I really hope you keep these going, they're great!

[@Fizhy]

I like catchy titles as much as the next man but I find "you probably didn't know" titles to be a little bit insulting to a viewer's intelligence as many WILL know, so I avoid them where I can help it.

[@toddslack4291]

There are more videos to see in the Lair of the Shadow Broker dlc. I believe there are three sets of videos. The ones mentioned in the video are the first. If you return after one mission and one mission only, you get the second, and if you return after only one mission you get the third.

[@Demonchild-ru9dj]

When I first noticed the sound on Luna, I thought it was like whales or something, referencing fururama, but it was just the rachni

[@unit90]

I think "CCCP" should sound like "SSSR"

[@jobustify]

I love Mass Effect's world building. Even if I know most of these, I love watching your discussions on them. /v/ was never better than between ME2 and ME3, good memories brought back by your vids.

[@joaopedroribaslyraloes]

The original Mass effect is by far my favorite, so glad more people had a chance to play it with the remastered version.

[@alexbenavidez4500]

I am a massive completionist and will do every single quest and side mission possible, and when it comes to Conrad Verner, if you have a ridiculous amount of prerequisites fulfilled when finally meeting him in the third game for the last time, I'm talking a bunch of really petty side quests like finding all the matriarch writings, talking to and keeping specific NPC'S alive and having the Elkoss shop licence from the very first game, it turns out he has PHD in xenoscience quantum physics and can have his dissertation added to the research for the crucible for a whopping 1% addition to your War Assets

[@MegaRazorback]

That 1% could mean the difference between getting the best ending possible in ME3 or not though in terms of War Assets given that there's a hard threshold needed for some parts of the endgame cutscene to actually show up the way the play wants them to.

[@alexbenavidez4500]

@@MegaRazorback I really am a serious, and I mean *serious* completionist. Ive actually maxed out my war asset score and at a certain point, there's no mechanical reason to pursue all these missions and sidequests, other than my personal gratification My paragon score and credit limit could be at max, and I'll still go out of my way to get the results that includes the most pay or paragon points

[@MegaRazorback]

@@alexbenavidez4500 I figured you were given how you worded your first comment, i was just saying that 1% could be make or break how things play out for someone is all.

[@alexbenavidez4500]

@@MegaRazorback I do think that for anyone to complete all those quests to even acquire that 1% award, they would have had to at least reach the bare minimum for the best ending for those requisite quest boosts alone, and the fact they're probably very thorough, but you're right that 1% could potentially be a make or break

[@MegaRazorback]

@@alexbenavidez4500 Yeah, imagine doing everything only to find that the 1% you missed out on makes the end game play out wildly different to what you wanted lol.

I assume Anderson meeting with the cerberus agent was a mole he planted to keep him updated on Shepard. I doubt Anderson could just have a chat with the illusive man about that.

[@Nerdles15]

Love the secrets videos- but some of these seem more like things that come from playing the game completely or reading the lore. You should totally include the Mars Rover Easter egg from when you land on Mars in ME3 though in the next video! (Requires walking a specific route through the solar panels next to the landing zone at the start of the mission, a dev released a mspaint drawing of how to do it)
