Your Character:
I found insanity to be easiest with the infiltrator. The cloak and sniper rifle are great for the tough enemies, and incinerate is also very usefull as quite a few enemies have armor.
For your bonus power use either warp ammo or armor piercing ammo. I used AP ammo and is was quite useful for the scions and heavy mechs.
At the disabled collector ship take the Widow.
Your Team:
ALWAYS take Miranda. Her powers allow her to take down any type of enemy defense.
When fighting Eclipse or Blue Suns bring along Garrus for the extra overload.
When fighting Collectors, bring Thane for the extra warp.
For Garrus and Thane always set them to the Mantis sniper rifle. This prevents them from just standing out of cover trying to shoot everything and dieing. With the Mantis they peak out of cover to shoot one shot then get back in, thus preventing them from dieing as often.
Useful Glitches:
1. Experience point glitch: When you go to purchase the final level for any power (the one worth 4 points) press X and A at the same time. This clears the points you have used while also purchasing the skill. It is most useful when you have 10 unused skill points as it allows you to max all of your powers. This also works with your teamates.
2. Double Hack/Bypass: Once you have completed the hack/bypass and before the screen closes, start mashing A as fast as you can. Sometimes this will open the hack/bypass up again and you can get twice the money.
Upgrades:
Get every upgrade you can, especially the heavy weapon ammo. If you get all of these (there is six in total) and use the ordnace packs, you will get 2 shots from Cain. This helps a lot with the final battle against the reaper.
Tough Spots:
1. Horizon - 2 Scions: You can kill both scions before you even enter the room. After opening the door go as far right as you can with out going through the door. You should be able to see part of one of the scions. Use your sniper rifle to aim your teammates powers and shoot it a couple of times.
If you go all the way to the left you should be able to see the tail of the other one. Using your teammates powers on this one causes it to turn, so if your fast you can get a few headshots on it.
2. Collector ship - Ambush: Make sure to bring Thane and Miranda. As the first platform comes in use a warp and incinerate on one collector, and warp and shoot the other. The final one will turn into harbinger. Wait for the warps to recharge and hit harbinger with both. Once his barrier is down just use incinerate and keep shooting. If harbinger launches a black hole thing at you try to move in cover, or just pop out of cover and get out of its way. After about two or three platforms of collectors have arrived, they will stop coming until one of the scions is dead. Bring down both of there health and kill them both as quickly as you can. The final platform is the same as the others, just 3 collectors.
3. Collector Ship - Praetorian: Send your teammates to the bottom of the right ramp and take a few shots at the praetorian. Shoot the husks as soon as you see them. After the husk will come two collectors, kill these as quickly as possible with the sniper rifle. After the collectors will come two more husks. Once all these are dead, send your teammates over by the two locked doors so that the praetorian wont kill them. Just spam powers at it until it is dead, and dodge around the ramps avoiding its lasers. Also try to avoid using cloak as this makes it target your teammates.
4. Reaper IFF Core: Pull out Cain before entering the final door. As soon as the cutscene is over shoot Cain at the core and you should be able to destroy it before it closes.
5. Final battle against reaper: Make sure to get all of the heavy weapon ammo upgrades (6 in total) and use ordnance packs for your armor. Use the Cain and you should have 200% for it. Simply shoot the reaper twice with Cain then switch to your sniper rifle and shoot it once. It should die.
