F*#K! I had the choice of saving Sam and Anya (RT), or just laying down cover fire from above (LT)… guess which I picked? I just spent a couple days on Gears of War 3 Act 3: Chapter 2: Rescue in Insane mode! A couple of f*#king days!!!!! That was f*#king hard, and I have some tips for all you stupid mutha f*#kaz that pressed RT instead of LT!

Step 1
So you will first go on a ride (in the back of a truck) and gun down the enemy while you are getting to where Sam and Anya are pinned down (piece of cake). The vehicle will crash, leaving you in the sh*t! Now I suggest that you take cover and try kill the Digger and other Locust pests (and grab that digger gun, it can be helpful). Now after you take care of the Locust and the Lambent rascals in that area things will calm down until you approach the fort, so take that time (before you walk towards the fort) to grab some incendiary grenades, weapons and ammo before you move on (you’ll f*#kin’ need it).

Step 2
When you approach the fort you’ll hear some blabber about bringing the Hammer of Dawn online, even though the targeting system is f*#ked up. This means game on! A couple of Lament Stalks will pop out of the ground, and all hell will break loose. The closer stalk will drop one Lambent Druge (which will not morph), so take cover (I like burnt out truck furthest back), aim and take the bastard out. Make an effort to get the Perfect Active Reload bonus by tapping the reload button when the progress bar on the meter below your bullet count hits the middle line. Now the second stalk will drop a Lambent Drudge (that will morph) and several Lambent Drones (plus there will be Locust shooting at you from the walls of the fort). I would stay behind that truck if I were you. The Drudge will morph into that long armed fireball launching thing that looks like the inflated do-hicky that you see outside the car dealership. Take cover, and kill the bastard!

Step 3
Once again there will be a reprise (a break in the action for those with limited vocabulary). Take the time to refill your ammo. Now when you walk to a certain point, another Lambent Stalk will drop a Lambent Berserker… YOU’RE F*#KED!
Now if you’ve played the game before, you know that the Berserker is one of the toughest creatures to kill (unless you have the Hammer of Dawn handy). Rule of thumb is what I call the “Charging Bull Technique”. You let the b*tch charge at you and you jump out of the way before she flattens you. And as an added bonus (if dodging the Berserker is not enough) you need to take cover from the Lambent that will be firing at your ass!
In insane more the Berserker will charge at you almost every time. So make sure you keep your eyes on where that f*#ker is at all times. You can try and take out the Lambent shooting at you while dodging the Berserker, but I think it’s a waste of time (The Hammer of Dawn will take care of them). Essentially you’re trying to stay alive until the Hammer of Dawn fires.
Now, when the Hammer fires, you want to run like hell towards it, but to the right (almost hugging the outer walls of the fort). Try to avoid the Hammer, because it will kill you. Now there will be an opening to the fort that you need to run into immediately (you’ll eventually see it as you’re running along the wall). So think of it as one mad dash to the forts opening as soon as the Hammer fires (you need to complete this mad dash before the Hammer fires for a third time… or you’re dead). Once you enter the fort it will either put you into the next cut scene, or tell you “MISSION FAILED”.

The sh*tty thing about this whole deal is:
1) It’s way f*#king harder than I can ever describe
2) If you die at any time, it starts you back when the truck crashes (almost the f*#king beginning). Even if you die while entering the fort (about 20 minutes of game play).
3) It’s way f*#king harder than I can ever describe
4) You will have finish off the Lambent Berserker off in the next section… and it WILL suck!

Good luck sucker… this ones not gonna happen on the first try Poindexter!

Here’s a walkthrough I found on IGN… But it’s in Hardcore Mode (I think).
