Mass Effect 2

Story related. If you want more info, continue reading. Otherwise, know that this will unlock through the natural progression of the story. Because the game is open ended, you can complete the mission after completing the game. If you're concerned about beating this mission on Insanity, then save it until after completing the game and lower the difficulty.

Once Illium unlocks (after completing the mission on Horizon), travel there and see Liara T’Soni. Tell her that you have information about the Shadow Broker and she’ll ask you to meet her later at her apartment. Travel there and you’ll find the apartment is now a crime scene. Go upstairs and examine the picture next to her bed. Go back downstairs and right next to the bottom of the stairs will be a prothean relic. Examine that as well. The message you find will talk about a meeting she was going to have. When you arrive at the meeting place, it's straightforward until you face the assassin.

The assassin is tough, but her movement patterns are predictable (right in front of you across a pool, to the right on the same side, to the left on the same side, straight across the pool from her last position and to your left, back to the start, etc.). It doesn’t help that you’ll have to get through her barrier and armor to really do damage. She will zip around the map in a predictable pattern. Once you learn it, you’ll know exactly where she goes. When she says that she’ll be right back, watch out for rocket drones and Shadow Broker troops. When those are gone, she’ll reappear and go back to her predictable pattern. The second time she goes away, the pattern changes a bit. She’ll start off on the same side as you, but to your right, back to the middle across the pool, to the left on the same side, then to the right on that side, and then back across to where she started. Once you defeat her, then you’ll find out where the Shadow Broker is and continue with the second part of the mission.

The Shadow Broker's ship is straightforward. Make your way along the outside, taking out the guards that appear.
Once you’re inside, you’ll have to make your way through the halls to central control. On your way, you’ll first stop and find Liara’s old partner imprisoned. After speaking with him, make your to the Shadow Broker. When you reach the Shadow Broker is when this trophy will unlock. This fight isn’t too difficult, you’ll just have to do the same thing multiple times. Take down his shield and armor. Liara will tell you to melee ( ) him. He’ll pull out a new shield and you’ll have to take down his shield and armor again, followed by a melee. After those two, Liara will have an idea of what to do. Take down his shields and armor and melee him for a third time. Liara will deal the finishing blow.
