Mass Effect 2 Cheats

To do this you'll need to have the Dominate skill, the Retrain Powers and Advanced Training upgrades and tons of Element Zero. You can get the Dominate Skill by recruiting Morinth (Samara's daughter), which means you have to sacrifice Samara in her own loyalty mission. A list of planets with Element Zero can be found below. First, purchase Advanced Training and choose Dominate. This will land you a bonus skill point, which you can use by instituting the Retrain Powers upgrade. Repeat this process for additional skill points -- one at a time! This costs 7500 Eelemetn Zero each time.

You must have "Dominate" as a bonus power then, Go to the research terminal and choose "Retrain Powers" to reset your squad points, then choose "Advanced Combat Research" and select "Dominate." You will now have 1 free point invested in "Dominate." Now "Retrain Powers " again, and repeat. Each time you will get 1 extra squad point to invest. Costs 7500 element zero per use.

Once you beat the game, you will unlock these bonuses. It doesn't matter if you start a fresh file or a New Game + file, either way these bonuses will kick in if you have a completed file on your system.

Upon completing a character's Loyalty Mission, that character will gain their loyalty power for use. In addition, if Shepard researches Advanced Training at the research terminal in Mordin's lab, he or she can learn a single loyalty power as their "bonus power"; any subsequent times Shepard undergoes Advanced Training the new power selected will replace the old one and the skill points allotted to the old power will transfer to the new bonus power. Any bonus powers earned in previous playthroughs will be available at the start of any new game at character creation and at a research terminal.

There are only 3 Bronze Trophies.

To unlock New Game+, clear the Suicide Mission/watch the credits, then start a new game and select the "Import ME2 Character" option, and select the save file you cleared the Suicide mission on. In New Game+ your current Level, Class, Skills, Weapons Training, and Equipment from your previous save file will be carried over to the new file. in addition, you also gain 50,000 of each resource and a 200,000 Credit Bonus. (NOTE: Upgrades do not carry over and your Karma/Squad Loyalty is reset in New Game+)

Start a new game in Mass Effect 2 using a profile from Mass Effect (1) and you'll get the following bonuses:

Here is a specific list of bonuses based previously earned Achievements and Levels gained in Mass Effect:

During conversations, you may spot a RIGHT or LEFT TRIGGER appear in the top left portion of the screen. If you hit LEFT TRIGGER when the "wings" logo appears you'll get Paragon points. If you hit RIGHT TRIGGER when the "star" appears you'll get Renegade points. You've got to act fast to get the points!

Correction by carlton baker

Need to speed up scanning? Putting the scanner all the way to the right or left, and rotating the planet the same way speeds it up a lot.

The planet actually spins quite a bit faster that way. Quite simply push both sticks in the same direction. I start at the top of the planet, and "peel" it like an electric apple peeler. It's much faster than before.

Note: The Geth Pulse Rifle can only be found on Hardcore or Insanity difficulty. During the recruitment mission for Tali, look for the rifle in the same room you find Tali. It will be sitting on the ground next to a destroyed geth.

Note: You can switch to Hardcore or Insanity difficulty right before commencing this mission to get the rare weapon. Change it back after getting the weapon.

Head to the Local Cluster and scan Uranus. The first two probes you launch will result in "unusual" statements from EDI.

You can find anomalies when scanning the following planets (listed as Cluster, System, Planet below). Anomaly = Side Quest!

• Caleston Rift, Solveig, Sinmara
• Caleston Rift, Talava, Taitus
• Crescent Nebula, Lusarn, Tarith
• Crescent Nebula, Zelene, Helyme
• Eagle Nebula, Amun, Neith
• Eagle Nebula, Strabo, Jarrahe Station
• Hades Nexus, Sheol, Gei Hin
• HourGlass Nebula, Faryar, Daratar
• HourGlass Nebula, Ploitari, Zanethu
• Minos Wasteland, Fortis, Aequitas
• Omega Nebula, Ariniarkan, MSV Strontium Mule
• Omega Nebula, Fathar, Lorek
• Pylos Nebula, Dirada, Canalus
• Pylos Nebula, Nariph, MSV Broken Arrow
• Rosetta Nebula, Enoch, Joab
• The Shrike Nebula, Xe Cha, Zada Ban
• Sigurd's Cradle, Decoris, Sanctum
• Sigurd's Cradle, Skepsis, Franklin
• Titan Nebula, Haskins, Capek

Approach Legion in his quarters and highlight him but do not talk to him. He'll do "The Robot," the traditional dance of his ancestors.

If you chat it up with Yeoman Kelly Chambers often and choose to be kind to her you can instigate an "unusual" romantic encounter. You'll eventually be able to invite her to dinner. Additionally, you cannot let Kelly die in the final mission (choose a loyal escort for the crew in the final scene). After you beat the game, talk to Kelly and you'll receive an email from her. Go to your quarters and you'll be able to invite her up using your console. She'll appear and you'll be able to watch the evening's awkward events unwind. She's no Yeoman Rand, but she'll do.

When asking Zaal'Koris about his funny name/ship name the "Qwib Qwib" (on the Quarian fleet vessel), the real joke hits when he mentions desiring a more respectable ship name like "Defrahnz" or "Iktomi." These two names would have yielded the following Quarian names: Zaal'Koris vas Defrahnz (vas deferens) and Zaal'Koris vas Iktomi (vasectomy).

At the end of 'The Lair of the Shadow Broker' downloadable content for Mass Effect 2, you'll find a terminal with all your teammates' dossiers on it. Including information only the shadow broker could get his hands on. You will find upon reading Legion's dossier that our favorite Geth happens to be quite the gamer. You can read a list of games he downloaded and even his scores and rankings on the leaderboards. There's even a bit where he is kicked for hacking some game, but he challenges the ban, and is let back onto the servers. I found this read to be worth a chuckle.

There is only 1 Bronze Trophy.

Once you beat the game on any difficulty all characters will gain an additional 25% experience bonus.
