Hey fellow gamers. Having a problem trying to get a trophy for playing the Final level, and having all my team alive by the end of the attack. The Final level, has your battling The Collectors at their main hub...once you have gone through the Omega4 Relay. You get to pick who completes certain tasks, but i have had team mates killed along the way. Has anyone done it...and had all their team survive ?? Would love to finish it again and have an intact team. Any intel welcome

Yes, I have. Not on the Playstation 3, but it works the same way.

Basically, you need your entire team to be loyal. Not every single one of them needs to be loyal, but it helps. Second, certain people will die if you choose an incorrect specialist. Tali'Zorah vas Normandy is a good choice, and so is Legion. For the Biotic Part, uhh, Jack and Samantha/Morinth are also good choices. For the fireteam, Garrus and Miranda will be able to lead it the best.

As for the Hold The Line part, you'll want to take Mordin WITH you, and leave the strongest characters there, because this part's measured on a total, I think. Mordin is the worst, so if you take him with you to defeat the Human Reaper, it'll actually improve the odds.

Follow that, and you should get through fine.

Oh, and you need all of the ship upgrades, too.

EDIT: You can actually get Mordin to lead the Survivors of the Normandy back. I think this works out well. Assuming everyone's loyal, of course.

All team members need to be loyal for them to survive the suicide run, no matter how well you play. Also, before going into the relay, your ship has to have all of the upgrades or even loyal members will be killed before actually landing on the Collector base.

During the end runs, this is what you need:

First run, you chose either Miranda, Jacob or Garrus to lead the Fire team (no one else can do it and survive).
Then either choose Legion, Tali or Kasumi to go through the heat vents.

On the Long Walk:

Again, the same three for choices for the Fire Team.
For a Biotic, you choose either Samara (or Morinth if she is there instead) or Jack to protect the squad from the Seeker Swarm. I found taking Mordin on this part along since he is awesome against Husks and Abominations, and having Grunt since he can take a lot of hits.

Any squad mate can take the saved crew member back to the ship. I would use either Zaeed or Thane. But if you want those guys along, then use Mordin or jack. IMO, Jack is the weakest link in the end run and she could be used to take the crew back since you's still have Samara or Morinth to do the Long Walk. Samara's Reave power works well against the collectors.
