Bonus Challenge: Spectre
"Saren becomes gradually more concerned about the power of Sovereign's indoctrination, fearing that it might be affecting his behavior. At his base of operations on the remote tropical world of Virmire, which houses his krogan breeding facility, Saren adds a major lab complex to study the effects of indoctrination. He recruits scientists, such as Rana Thanoptis, and orders experiments to be performed on the salarians his forces captured from a recon and espionage team.
From the research, Saren discovers that the more control Sovereign exerted over an individual, the less capable they became. As long as Sovereign saw Saren as a useful resource, Saren believes his mind would still be his own. Saren convinces himself that Sovereign needs him to find the Conduit and that the Reaper would offer him a reprieve in return. Nevertheless, he grows afraid of indoctrination, suspecting that Sovereign might be manipulating his thoughts."
In this twist of the mass effect tale, Saren uncovers one of the Reapers secret projects, and the existence of the very first Collectors. This discovery will ultimately convince him of the Reapers' nefarious nature. He will finally understand his position as prime defender of galactic stability, as the Council's longest standing Spectre. He must wipe out this early abomination of a creation and survive to warn the Council.
Conditions:
- Full Extraction on Firebase Glacier Hazard vs. Collectors
- Flawless (no medi-gel, no ops-packs, no rockets, no ammo clips used in game)
Note: This is probably one of the toughest gold challenges I've made on the thread. Not for the weak-hearted! I think it's worthy of the title though. Good luck, soldiers! Vid if possible, otherwise in game screenshots will do!
