One of those funniest moments was when Liara was going over the various artifacts of the Protheans used to uplift the Asari to their status, and gets to the artifact of how the goddess Athame gave them crops for them to live, I loved Jaavik’s response, “we didn’t want you to starve.”
reminds me of this line "It must think you're Prothean because of the cipher!" to which Javik sarcastically responds, "Or it could be the Prothean standing next to you."
lol, i mean im completely enjoying his words, because im also very pragmatic and not religious at all, im more rationalist oriented. So whenever someone is talking about some "person of importance" but dont have valid evidence, just assumptions, im always joking about that for example "what if he was some peasant who got lucky" or what if "he just steal credit for some acomplishment, and now people are thinking, wow, he was really important person 4000 years ago".

That mission shows how much Javik cares about the crew, in his own way he tries to make them more stronger against the horrors of the Reapers, all what he saw in his war was death and destruction, every trace of hope destroyed by the reapers in front of him and you can sense some kind of remorse on him, specially when he talks about those who served under his command. He's just a defeated soldier.

I end up choosing the renegade option more than a few times when it comes to Javik. He makes a lot of good points. Enough so that an actual soldier would agree too. Even though my Shepard is mostly paragon, i pick these options for sure.
Yeah, or neutral options if possible. Even though a lot of renegade options can be cold, some of them do tend to be the more rational approach than the paragon choices, which tend to be more emotional.
Javik was my favourite character, it's a shame that his inclusion was originally DLC when he was arguably one of the most important companions in terms of story/historical setting in this universe. It exceeded my expectations when I realised they added a Promethean(I first completed the game without the DLC), before this they was things of legend I never expected to encounter, reading all that information about them in Mass effect 1 and a lil bit more later on had me picturing them as near supernatural beings then you got hit with the nitty gritty: the cold hard facts that they was a pretty cold and dominating race and from some of the outlooks he shared it just aided my belief that the Prometheans could have come so far before. It really helped drive home how fearsome the Reapers was, I mean what was laid out never really had you doubt it but to hear first hand stories of their war with the Reapers was great. Javik was probably the only Companion I went out of my way to hear all the dialogue for, going back to his quarters lots, I did that to converse with the other characters but not so much their passing dialogue and comments, his was just so good. Idk who was responsible for it but for me he is one of the best written characters considering the boots left to fill for a Promethean prior to actually meeting one.
and because of how tough the Protheans were it made their extinction inveitable if they hadn't fought so long the project on Ilos would have been successful and they would have had the numbers to repopulate and they would have had the knowledge given another 50,000 years would have been able to destroy them next go around.
One of the things that would of been cool is if Javik can interact in the leviathan dlc would of been cool to see him shouting at leviathan for creating the reapers
As always, I'm truly impressed by the writers of this game. It's like watching a movie only far better. I'm honestly surprised that Javik isnt a regular character instead of a DLC one. He really makes the game that much more impressive!
One thing that’s occurred to me lately is that either Liara is a bad shadow broker or the shadow broker is far less powerful than the hype says. How does Cerberus know all this secret stuff (including things like the fact that liara is the shadow broker) but Liara doesn’t know about a secret on her own planet, or that Cerberus has agents on her?
I like that Javik actually shows compassion and empathy to Liara, but in his own way, which in turn pisses her off. She's a bit too lost in idolizing and romanticizing the Protheans that she cannot accept they were a race of dominion empire and Javik was and is a soldier who has experienced the death of his race and his home world, or his PTSD and trauma from that ancient war as well as waking up 50k years later knowing that no one he knew is left. Actually, if anyone can relate to the fall of Thessia, that person would be him, as all other planets in this war are still fighting, not yet lost. I love his line "War doesn't always provide you a choice", especially as he pauses and turns away before saying that, meaning he absolutely understand what she's going through in that moment.
Javik was my favorite part of ME3. While I'm not a fan of the game's story, Javik (along with Tuchanka and Rannoch), were real highlights. I only wish the rest of the game was written as well.
And the Stargate series. Warning: The guy who thought it up was a white supremacist who thought humans who weren't white couldn't invent things like canals or pyramids. He also thought up the 'lizardpeople' conspiracy as codetalk for 'the jews.'
@@JamesMichaelDoyle Too late. Also I mostly did it because I'm hoping it made ME1 less awful to play through to completion and I wanted to play through ME2 and 3 again. Either way I don't really regret spending money to reward the creators of a great trilogy.
He should have been in the first game when you visit Eden prime and would have more lore and depth to the protheans and the prothean empire during the course of the first second and third game plus we would have a lot more airlock memes and trolling material from him lol
Same with leviathan. Like literally how reapers were made to be. One of the most important informations pieces of the game, the enemies origin... As a DLC...
You forgot the one about one of Athame's disciples giving the Asari the gift of biotics. Javik then will say that it was the result of genetic modification done by the Protheans.
Liara: the beacon must’ve activated because you have the cipher given to you by that Green Asari and it recognises you as prothean. Javik: or it’s the prothean stood next to himz
@@dr.chocolates2630 yeah I get that but Krogan are basically like that except you have to Exert dominancein to there Species for loyalty that’s why krogan are so brutal
@@yeetin_yeti69 the krogan weren't developed anywhere near where the protheans would show interest - the salarians actually played that role with them instead. They uplifted the krogan - for the rachni wars, remember?
Javik should've been kept in the game, and also been what was going to be originally, the actual catalyst. It would've been much better to have the protheans being the ones that designed the weapon. Maybe even the same scientists that created the conduit. It would bring everything full circle.
Damnnn sooon, Javik mastered troll and sarcasm skill. Have you tried bringing him to other species planets !? Does he have unique dialogue on their planets also !? I must try him on all other planets, god damn :D 🤣 And still my favorite one, "Lizard people evolved!? But they were eating flies"...GOLDEN :D :D
I would have love to see javik kick some sense on Liara, showing for once the superiority of the protheans and their biotic warriors. A scene maybe like shep kicking Vega's ass.
I brought Tali along after I had completed getting Ranok back (Geth and quarian co-existence ending) and tali did pipe up in the shuttle offering condolences about loosing a home, but still also tried to snap her into focus after landing. Throughout the mission was generally trying to be comforting about the situation if memory serves. Tali also points out the various correlation don’t know if anyone else says much but I’d imagine Jarvik is probably the only one with unique dialog
I also like to bring Liara to the Cerberus base assault as she mentions to Shepard about when she found his body for Cerberus with one of the data logs and makes sense it’s sorta her finally getting her own back for Thessia
I have only played through the trilogy once and i did this. It just made sense to me. Bring the asari to thessia and bring along the being she has literally devoted her life to studying.
Reapers just love human beings, as javik said, reapers harvested protheans in the most efficient way possible, entire fleet and planets were wiped out, their empire could only regroup while reapers harvesting other populations. But for human, well reapers are just "harvest" them every gentlely, I don't believe reapers can not decimiate all resistance on earth within a week with super air and space advantage (if they just want to process human into a reaper they can do it after the harvesting), but they give human a lot of time to recover and regroup. Asaris' Thessia fell in couple days, Turians' Palven bearly held together under the attack of a small chunck of the reaper force. Most of the reapers were at earth, and human lasted the longest, and there were still enough resistance forces on earth to support the ground assault of the fleet. Conclusion: Reapers really love Shepard and her race.
It's crazy how good the animations in Mass Effect were, especially the facial movement. Not many games nowadays have comparable animations unless they're all mo-capped cutscenes. DAI, that has been released 3 years later had much worse animations and I'm not even talking about Andromeda and Anthem. And I'm not accepting it's Frostbite's fault. The talent left Bioware long ago.
Ok im a mass effect fan as much as the next guy but Mass Effect, Good Animations? hahah please no, they are better than andromeda by far (except for combat) but the amount texture stretching of models and clothes, the copy paste animations and also the position of limbs in certain poses are embarassing sometimes, then there is the face, again better than andromeda but still stiff, expressions like anger and smiling transition poorly. Many more examples, they are not good animation, they are decent.
For a soldier, Javik sure knows a lot about Asari history especially considering the interventions were likely hundreds of years before Javik was born (before the Reaper war)... I guess it is possible that he learned about the most likely species to lead the next cycle during his training.
I always figured their society had a giant circulating pool of information that was passively transmitted between individuals by their aura-reading Like Grunt hadn't been on the Normandy for at least six months by the time Javik came onboard, but Javik could still perceive things about him like he was going through a transformation and he had alot of confusion The information transfer between live Protheans interacting in person must have been even more efficient than that and eventually any individual experience may have become a sort of general knowledge
It is the shard he has that has the information. Such shards include all memorys of all the proteans before him, thats why he is able too know, he used this shard in his cycle whe he was the leader. They don't learn in an way we could. Like he said they learn Information with such shards.
Ive played the ME trilogy countless times, original and legendary. Yet i still love watching ME vids just in case i missed something. And yknow what? Half the time - i do. Its partly why i love this game - always surprising me!
Javviks dialogs didn't make sense to me he talked about asari and humans being just primitives and acts like he knew all about them, yet he also states that he was born during the reapers invasion and doesn't even know what their empire was really like before the invasion
I had just finished the Thessia mission, I had a nagging thought that I shoulda brought Javik with me, but I ignored it and kept going... I should have listened to my inner me.
This scene in the museum does nothing but make Liara look bad imo. she's in complete denial about something that, given the evidence presented by javik, is extremely obvious and adamantly defends her people when they're clearly in the wrong
Oh yeah, Javik on Thessia is like required. Side note: Anyone know what the max war asset count for LE is? I finally made it to the last ME3 mission with like 8715 war assets. I maybe missed like 2-3 things, so I’m thinking it’s capped at 8800.
I remember there being war assets from the mobile game & mobile codex too, but I'm not sure if they're still available & working with the legendary edition. From what I remember, you could get well over 100 War Assets from there
Couldn’t find anything on the Legendary Edition version, since it’s fairly new, hence why I ended up asking on here. This channel knows it’s Mass Effect stuff. Figured it’d good be a good place to ask.
The city on Thessia I believe is the Republic of Armali the home and birthplace of Liara. The way she speaks during the mission she says this is my home, she could be referring to Thessia as a whole but could also mean the city is her home. The Asari are one of only 3 galactic powers that is not unified under one global government. The other 2 are the Salarians and of course the Humans. The Asari is governed by several Republics which collectively on the galactic stage are referred to as the Asari Republics which are governed by a form of Direct Democracy a form of Democracy where any citizen can vote on what is or not made into law over the extranet. How they combat mob rule is that the Matriarchs the oldest of the Asari act as guides using their experiences from living for several centuries. Earth is governed mainly by 3 powers the United North American States, European Union and the Chinese Federation. The Salarians govern themselves similar to the Asari however the matters of government are controlled by Dalatrasses the female members of the species. The Turians govern through meritocracy which is that the leader of the people is a member of the military with the lines of succession being determined by ranks within the military.
You missed the line about Shepard being the one to activate it, and Javik throws in that it might have detected him instead of Shepard's prothean aura.
I hope in the new mass effect Javik's prothean lineage breeds similarly to asari where the child will always be prothean, male or female. So when we return to ME in all its (damn well better) glory, Javik is either an old man or legend as the Prothean who brought his species back from extinction and killed the Reapers. 50,000 years of vengeance completed with a new hope
I didn’t know it was important because I thought it was natural to bring Jarvik witnessing the Asari’s superior race home planet and the Reaper invasions of course

Mordin: "Am I a joke to you?"
@@sandrogamer30018 He banged Aria he’s no joke in my book
@@Titan-qc1og that was an attempt to write a pulp novel. Mordin isn't that old
Javik was my favorite part of ME3. While I'm not a fan of the game's story, Javik (along with Tuchanka and Rannoch), were real highlights. I only wish the rest of the game was written as well.
This is basically the ancient aliens theory. Which is also what the ISU in Assassins Creed is based on.
And the Stargate series.
Warning: The guy who thought it up was a white supremacist who thought humans who weren't white couldn't invent things like canals or pyramids.
He also thought up the 'lizardpeople' conspiracy as codetalk for 'the jews.'
Alright, I'm convinced to buy the Legendary Edition and give this trilogy another playthrough.
Do it
I’ve just got Plat on ME:3 last night
Now, the only trophies I need are to redo all 3 on insanity 😂
@@beepboopthemyth It's downloading RN. I'm excited.
Don't do it. If you already have the originals, play those, not this edited crap.
@@JamesMichaelDoyle if on PC and sale there is mods to bring original content back.
@@JamesMichaelDoyle Too late. Also I mostly did it because I'm hoping it made ME1 less awful to play through to completion and I wanted to play through ME2 and 3 again. Either way I don't really regret spending money to reward the creators of a great trilogy.
Liara: And for some reason, it has classified goverment funding.
Shepard: A red flag if I ever saw one
Javik should have been in the base game for ME3
He should have been in the first game when you visit Eden prime and would have more lore and depth to the protheans and the prothean empire during the course of the first second and third game plus we would have a lot more airlock memes and trolling material from him lol
@@werty21100 nah there would be no mystery to the protheans. That’s a huge reveal in ME1 with the VI
Same with leviathan. Like literally how reapers were made to be. One of the most important informations pieces of the game, the enemies origin... As a DLC...
@@ciellan6615 you want that much trolling and lovecraftian horror, you gotta pay to play
You forgot the one about one of Athame's disciples giving the Asari the gift of biotics. Javik then will say that it was the result of genetic modification done by the Protheans.
For me personally, this always made Javik a must take whenever I play this mission
Me: I shouldn’t watch any mass effect 3 content I never played with Javik
Also me: I gotta watch this before I go to sleep
Liara: the beacon must’ve activated because you have the cipher given to you by that Green Asari and it recognises you as prothean.
Javik: or it’s the prothean stood next to himz
POV:Prothean Logic: see’s asari ok they look “kool” also sees krogan probably the only actual species that can survive the reapers
Protheans wanted intelligent spicies that can fight and also serve the empire as citizens.
@@dr.chocolates2630 Serve the empire indeed.
They made a species of sex toys.
@@JoshSweetvale also food.
@@dr.chocolates2630 yeah I get that but Krogan are basically like that except you have to Exert dominancein to there Species for loyalty that’s why krogan are so brutal
@@yeetin_yeti69 the krogan weren't developed anywhere near where the protheans would show interest - the salarians actually played that role with them instead. They uplifted the krogan - for the rachni wars, remember?
I was a little bummed too, but then again the likelihood of the Asari Goddess creating the universe is slim to none.
Jaavik should be on every mission, he has so much dialog
Their banter is why I first dove into the Liara/Javik ship.
I just happened to do this mission yesterday in my 2nd playthrough of ME3 and decided to bring Javik this time. So glad I did.
Javik should've been kept in the game, and also been what was going to be originally, the actual catalyst. It would've been much better to have the protheans being the ones that designed the weapon. Maybe even the same scientists that created the conduit. It would bring everything full circle.
Damnnn sooon, Javik mastered troll and sarcasm skill. Have you tried bringing him to other species planets !? Does he have unique dialogue on their planets also !? I must try him on all other planets, god damn :D 🤣
And still my favorite one, "Lizard people evolved!? But they were eating flies"...GOLDEN :D :D
That line killed me especially since he said "The lizard people evolved?"
@@sohei_tengu yeah that one, forgot exact quotation. 😆
@@milosstojanovic4623 it kills me because Liara "corrected" him and he just says that quote about the flies 🤣 with such a tone
If you bring him in the Krogan homeworld, he will mention that he will bomb it to oblivion.
He didn't even check all of the artifacts smh "All unique dialogue"
and didn't go over the second dialogue choice at the end lol not a complete run down is it?
I bring Javik everywhere, his lines are the best!
The lizard people evolved? They used to eat flies.
Liara is confronted with evidence and refuses to believe it. Pretty bad for a scientist and information broker.
I would have love to see javik kick some sense on Liara, showing for once the superiority of the protheans and their biotic warriors. A scene maybe like shep kicking Vega's ass.
I brought Tali along after I had completed getting Ranok back (Geth and quarian co-existence ending) and tali did pipe up in the shuttle offering condolences about loosing a home, but still also tried to snap her into focus after landing. Throughout the mission was generally trying to be comforting about the situation if memory serves. Tali also points out the various correlation don’t know if anyone else says much but I’d imagine Jarvik is probably the only one with unique dialog
I am disappointed there is no mention of how Shepard destroyed the Collectors in ME2, which are mutated Protheans. Imagine Javik's dialogue.
He does have dialogue about then when randomly talking to him on the normandy. He says it was an act of mercy killing them
9:51 bruh I gotta side 100 percent with Javik on that one. That's literally just a prothean head.
I also like to bring Liara to the Cerberus base assault as she mentions to Shepard about when she found his body for Cerberus with one of the data logs and makes sense it’s sorta her finally getting her own back for Thessia
I have only played through the trilogy once and i did this. It just made sense to me. Bring the asari to thessia and bring along the being she has literally devoted her life to studying.
Reapers just love human beings, as javik said, reapers harvested protheans in the most efficient way possible, entire fleet and planets were wiped out, their empire could only regroup while reapers harvesting other populations.
But for human, well reapers are just "harvest" them every gentlely, I don't believe reapers can not decimiate all resistance on earth within a week with super air and space advantage (if they just want to process human into a reaper they can do it after the harvesting), but they give human a lot of time to recover and regroup. Asaris' Thessia fell in couple days, Turians' Palven bearly held together under the attack of a small chunck of the reaper force. Most of the reapers were at earth, and human lasted the longest, and there were still enough resistance forces on earth to support the ground assault of the fleet.
Conclusion: Reapers really love Shepard and her race.
Makes sense
You can't process humans if you vaporize them with hyper accelerated liquid metal
It's crazy how good the animations in Mass Effect were, especially the facial movement. Not many games nowadays have comparable animations unless they're all mo-capped cutscenes. DAI, that has been released 3 years later had much worse animations and I'm not even talking about Andromeda and Anthem. And I'm not accepting it's Frostbite's fault. The talent left Bioware long ago.
Ok im a mass effect fan as much as the next guy but Mass Effect, Good Animations? hahah please no, they are better than andromeda by far (except for combat) but the amount texture stretching of models and clothes, the copy paste animations and also the position of limbs in certain poses are embarassing sometimes, then there is the face, again better than andromeda but still stiff, expressions like anger and smiling transition poorly.
Many more examples, they are not good animation, they are decent.
For a soldier, Javik sure knows a lot about Asari history especially considering the interventions were likely hundreds of years before Javik was born (before the Reaper war)... I guess it is possible that he learned about the most likely species to lead the next cycle during his training.
I always figured their society had a giant circulating pool of information that was passively transmitted between individuals by their aura-reading
Like Grunt hadn't been on the Normandy for at least six months by the time Javik came onboard, but Javik could still perceive things about him like he was going through a transformation and he had alot of confusion
The information transfer between live Protheans interacting in person must have been even more efficient than that and eventually any individual experience may have become a sort of general knowledge
@@Zidana123 That's a very good point. On a side note; imagine how efficient their educational system would've been.
It is the shard he has that has the information. Such shards include all memorys of all the proteans before him, thats why he is able too know, he used this shard in his cycle whe he was the leader.
They don't learn in an way we could. Like he said they learn Information with such shards.
@@CrimsonRegalia sure their Reading ability was probably One of the main reason they evolved as Apex of their cycle
I was hoping to see Liara try to take a shot at Javik, it wouldn’t have gone well for her.
10:14 Ancient Aliens; Asari Edition!!!😱
Javik is an absolute GOAT UNIT of a character!
Ive played the ME trilogy countless times, original and legendary. Yet i still love watching ME vids just in case i missed something. And yknow what? Half the time - i do. Its partly why i love this game - always surprising me!
8:00
When Javik said that, I found it to be cold and funny at the same time
Javviks dialogs didn't make sense to me he talked about asari and humans being just primitives and acts like he knew all about them, yet he also states that he was born during the reapers invasion and doesn't even know what their empire was really like before the invasion
That stuff on the shuttle Javik says about numbing to loss is similar to if you bring James along....
So happy I brought him along and got all the unique dialogue!
Yup the lad 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
I always bring javik to thessia, I did it the first time I played and it just makes sense now
I didn't knew that Javik & Liyara had an argument.... thanks for sharing
I had just finished the Thessia mission, I had a nagging thought that I shoulda brought Javik with me, but I ignored it and kept going... I should have listened to my inner me.
Asari - oh my god a living protheans....!!
Protheans - you were bitches that didn't knew how to talk
Asari - poker face
I Always Like Watching Vids Of Part I Played and I Watch to Make Sure I Didn't miss anything.
Javik was one of the best things added to ME3, definitely
This scene in the museum does nothing but make Liara look bad imo. she's in complete denial about something that, given the evidence presented by javik, is extremely obvious
and adamantly defends her people when they're clearly in the wrong
Good news is you survived the Cycle. Bad news is you wake up to see another Cycle. Javik, *you* have an interesting concept for escape!
I feel like this is because Javik was initially supposed to be a mandatory squadmate for this mission as well before he got cut and relegated to DLC.
I did this with these two just yesterday
" We were here in the beginning, watching you grow. Athame was us "
5:20 Is that Laura Bailey's voice? 💗
Oh yeah, Javik on Thessia is like required.
Side note: Anyone know what the max war asset count for LE is? I finally made it to the last ME3 mission with like 8715 war assets. I maybe missed like 2-3 things, so I’m thinking it’s capped at 8800.
I remember there being war assets from the mobile game & mobile codex too, but I'm not sure if they're still available & working with the legendary edition. From what I remember, you could get well over 100 War Assets from there
@@carlosramirez3001 some of those war assets were bugged and you got way more then you should have
You know you can google what the max war assets are for mass effect 3 right. I feel like javik
Couldn’t find anything on the Legendary Edition version, since it’s fairly new, hence why I ended up asking on here. This channel knows it’s Mass Effect stuff. Figured it’d good be a good place to ask.
I actually brought both Javik on this mission without knowing. I just finished the mass effect trilogy yesterday for the first time. Fantastic game.
The city on Thessia I believe is the Republic of Armali the home and birthplace of Liara. The way she speaks during the mission she says this is my home, she could be referring to Thessia as a whole but could also mean the city is her home. The Asari are one of only 3 galactic powers that is not unified under one global government. The other 2 are the Salarians and of course the Humans. The Asari is governed by several Republics which collectively on the galactic stage are referred to as the Asari Republics which are governed by a form of Direct Democracy a form of Democracy where any citizen can vote on what is or not made into law over the extranet. How they combat mob rule is that the Matriarchs the oldest of the Asari act as guides using their experiences from living for several centuries. Earth is governed mainly by 3 powers the United North American States, European Union and the Chinese Federation. The Salarians govern themselves similar to the Asari however the matters of government are controlled by Dalatrasses the female members of the species. The Turians govern through meritocracy which is that the leader of the people is a member of the military with the lines of succession being determined by ranks within the military.
"War doesn't always provide you a choice."
You missed the line about Shepard being the one to activate it, and Javik throws in that it might have detected him instead of Shepard's prothean aura.
A Trollthean. A living, breathing Trollthean.
probably the most bad ass DLC mass effect ever did story wise, the overloard and citatel were also great.
By the algorithm!!!
"We can morn the dead later, now, we must fight"
9:00 Did she protect the people or did she not?
Truly one of the best character.
This channel is great! I don’t need to play mass effect 4 times to see the dialogue I missed.
I hope in the new mass effect Javik's prothean lineage breeds similarly to asari where the child will always be prothean, male or female. So when we return to ME in all its (damn well better) glory, Javik is either an old man or legend as the Prothean who brought his species back from extinction and killed the Reapers. 50,000 years of vengeance completed with a new hope
Oooh seeing the Prothean resurgence would be awesome, for good or ill
@@MrHulthen I bet this will happen they won't waste this material seeing how many of us loves javik
I can't stand the fact that Kai Leng got here first and murdered The two scientists that I was looking forward to bringing on my ship.
Jakiv like what do you expect you wanted to known more...well, this is the story
Man this was a trip she met her god in person 👀😆 💯
I didn’t know it was important because I thought it was natural to bring Jarvik witnessing the Asari’s superior race home planet and the Reaper invasions of course
you don' t have to be perfect ; you just have to be yourself
