Healthy Competition

Enter the battle and start firing at the Enforcer and sentinels in front of you. Roll through the next door and outside where you will see two large doors across from you on the left. Roll through there and then you will see some Wraiths and Floods around. Kill everything in sight and roll through the tunnel on the left side. Make your way across the bridge on the right and continue killing the Flood there. Swing back to the left and across to the cave there. Before you enter, a lot of sentinels will attack. Kill them and head through the cave to face a scorpion tank. Drive past its remains and you will come across another and a few more Enforcers.



Take them out and hop out of the tank to enter the cave at the bottom of the hill. Follow the cavern through and on the left through the window you’ll see another battle. Go to the end and then enter the battle yourself. Make your way to the far right corner and there will be another tunnel there. Follow it to another large area filled with enemies and head down and around to the left. Keep going and the path will take you up to another tunnel entrance but before you get there, a swarm of floods will attack. Take them out and enter the tunnel and enter the room at the end. Go to the far left corner and jump up to the higher level. From there run to the end and then jump over to the left and left again to get on the other side.



Follow the corridor there and kill the flood as the path takes you through the tunnel on the right and outside. Hop on the Wraith and take it out and take control. As you move to the forward position, a supply ship will drop a ghost ship. Continue along taking out the guardian and the wraiths along the way. Head through the tunnel to reach the other side and then make a left to reach an area with warthogs, wraiths and a scorpion tank. Destroy everything in sight except for the vehicle you want to use and head into the building there. As the door opens on the left, enter it and follow the corridor up the ramp until a scene plays



Shooting Gallery

For this part of the mission it really is just a shooting gallery. As the platform moves inside the building, the parasites will flood the platform. Wave after wave, you and you remaining squad will need to fend them off until the platform reaches the other side. When it does, hop off and you’ll need to get the icon before the humans do.



That Old Familiar Feeling

As you hop off the moving platform, walk down the stairs on the left and enter the large room. There will be bodies and floods around the area but no real enemies. Make your way to the doorway in the center and head through to reach the next area. When you do, a cut scene will play with Arbiter and the marines.

Gravemind

Inside Job

As soon as you are in control, take out the two brutes ahead of you and the grunts. Walk back through the room and a few more will appear. When there are all down, Cortana will tell you to put her down on one of the pedestals beside the door. Head there and go through the door as well as the next. Kill the Grunts and Brutes in here and then head up the ramp and make your way outside. Cortana will tell you to watch out for the captain Brute as he has a Brute shot gun. He’ll be the one with the flag so take him down fast. Once everyone here is dead, drop down the hole at the end. When you reach the bottom, head through the next corridor to the end and you will come out to a large room with a structure in the center. Kill the Brutes and jackals in here and then head to the lower level and to the center.



Talk to Cortana there and then drop down the hole. When you land, take out the Brute directly in front of you with a clunk to the head and head across the bridge to the walkway around the room. Make your way to the purple lit up circle in the floor and go down a level. Kill everyone here and Cortana will tell you that the marines are behind the door at the end of the walk way. Head there and go through after taking down the Brute and grunts. Head down the hall way to the end and the cells will open to release some marines. Head back out and back to the purple lit up circles on the ground and go down to the lower level. Head for the door at the end there and you will have to kill a few more grunts and Brutes to get the rest of the marines.



When you have them, make your way back out and up the purple lifts to the blue circle where you first dropped down. Run across the bridge to reach it and some more enemies will be coming down it. Kill them as they land and then when it is clear, go up yourself. When you reach the top, you’ll hear the prophet talk and Cortana will say she can track him now. Head down the hallway and take out the Brutes and Elites that appear. When you get to the end you’ll be told that Truth is on the other side of the doors. Head through the door on the left and you’ll come face to face with two Hunters. Take them out and continue through the next doors to come out side to where a Brute and Elite are fighting. Take them out and head down the path on the left side to an encampment. Continue down to the hunter and Elites and up the path on the far side.



When you reach the top, take out the Brute there and enter the doorway. Follow the ramp down to the bottom and go through the door. Step on the blue circle and you will shoot across the bridge. Continue around to the left and you will come to another large battle between Brutes and Covenants. Head to the left along the walkway and up the ramp there. You will then come to another blue circle that will shoot you across another bridge. Go across and through the door. Make a left down the hall and go through another large room with Covenants fighting Brutes. Go through the door on the far side and follow the corridor to the right and then through a door on the left to another blue circle to go across a bridge.

Make your way to the left when you get across and go through the area to the ramp at the far left corner. Head around the walkway and zoom across another bridge. Go through the door there and up the ramp to face a group of Brutes. Take them down and continue through the door at the top. Go to the left and then when you are outside, immediately go to the right. Follow the path there around the area and down to the ground. Head up the slope on the right and enter the building. Make your way through the door and you will come to along hallway.



Along here will be just about every enemy you can think of. Take them all out and continue up the ramp and through the door to the next room and Cortana will tell you to consider sitting this one out. Enter the room and it will be a full blown battle raging inside. Wait awhile until most of the enemies are dead and there should only be a few Hunters and elites left. Take them out with an energy sword and then when everyone is dead you will be told that members of your team are close by. Head through the opposite door and more Covenants will come through. Take them down as you go through and follow the passage to the end until a scene plays.



Uprising

Oh, so That’s How it is

Now that you are back in control of the Arbiter, head to the left and follow the path down to some Brutes. Take them out and continue along to face more and more of them. Keep following the path until you come to a large door in the mountain wall and you will run into a buddy as well. Enter the door and make a left and continue outside. Go forward and up the ramp on the right and follow the walkway there around to the left and into the next door. Continue through the hall to find more Brutes and take them out. Make a left at the end and drop off the ledges to get lower and lower till you reach the ground. When you do, head through the door and follow the other Covenants around through the passage way. When you reach the door in the center, go through.



Step Aside, Let the Man Go Through

Now that you are back outside, take down the few Brutes here and go left to hop on a Ghost Ship. Drive it through the tunnel and follow the path to a gathering of Brutes. Take them down and continue along the path to the next group. Kill all of them and then drive along until you come to a water flow. Drive along side it and kill the enemies along the way until you come to the next scene at the Brute Encampment.



Fight Club

Enter the encampment and just go nuts. Kill everything in sight and leave no Brute standing. Use a Ghost ship if it makes things easier and head up the right side to get to the higher level. More Brutes will come out the door there for you to kill. When they are dead, go through the door and make a right to enter the next encampment area. If you drop down to the ground here, you will need to run back and up the slope again and go through the door to get back to the same spot. Stay on the top level and head the end where there will be a tunnel in the left wall. Head down the tunnel and kill the Brutes there and the Ghost Ship. When they are all dead, continue through until a scene plays.

High Charity

Cross Purposes

Now that the chief sees what’s going on, he needs to head back inside the mausoleum where he just was while fending of parasites. Enter the lift and Cortana will tell you that she’ll disable it after you go up. When you each the top, continue forward and a bridge will extend out towards you. Head across and hop on the purple circle and it will shoot you around a curved path. When you reach the other side, step in the next purple circle and it will take you across another curve. When you reach the other side here, continue along the walkway and make the first left. Head through the door there and you will have a few more parasites to deal with.



Please Make Yourself at Home

For this part of the mission, you need to keep on moving and don’t let yourself get taken over by the flood. Keep running down the corridor through each door you come to and jump over the parasites when they come at you. When you enter the large room areas, take the first left turn through the small tunnel and keep going left to continue along the pathway to the next door. Eventually you will come to an open door on the left in the last hallway and it will lead up to the elevator room. Activate the elevator there and ride it up.



Sanctified

As you ride the elevator up, the room you enter will be an absolute mess. Head to the far left and to where there are rocks beside a ledge above you. Hop up the rocks and sit on the ledge there and let the battle rage on. When they have all killed themselves, jump down and head for the large doors across from the elevator. They will open when they enemies in the room are dead. Grab the energy sword in the center if you like and then head through the door on the right to enter another lift.



Once More, with Feeling

When you arrive at the top of the lift, you will need to get to the fore runner ship. Simply walk along the left walkway above and beside all the fighting that is going on and make your way to the end where the platform ends. You may have to take down a parasite or two if they jump at you, but it’s pretty smooth sailing to end the mission.

The Great Journey

Your Ass, my Size 24 Hoof

Make your way forward and hop in the vehicle of your choosing. When you are in it, head down the path and take out the Brutes and enemy vehicles that are along the way. When you reach the beach, you will see a Scarab on the right side. To enter it, you’ll need to go through a passage at the far end of the beach. Kill the two Wraiths and the rest of the Brutes that appear. When they are all dead, enter the large doors at the far end and you will run into some Hunters inside. They will be on your side now so continue down the hall behind them. Follow them up the ramp and through the building. When you enter the first room, use them as a shield and then take out the Brutes inside.



Continue outside and around the walkways there to the door on the other side and back side. When you get to the next set of doors, you’ll be outside again but the Hunters won’t come with you. Head to the far end of the platform and go through the hallway and through the many doors to come to a room with a ramp in the center. Go up and grab a weapon here and then go around the corner to enter a room with a lot of Brutes and some cells along the walls. Start taking out Brutes and the Hunters will reappear. You can blast open the cells that have Elites in them by shooting the box in front of the field. When everyone is dead, head through the door that is now open and heads down the hall to the outside. There will be Brutes and Marines out here, so take out the Brutes and a scene will play.



Backseat Driver

For this part of the mission you need to hop in Banshee and cover the Scarab as it makes its way to the control tower. There will be wraiths and Specters that approach and attack and you’ll need to take them out before the Scarab gets taken down. For the wraiths, the easiest way for me was to jump out of my ride and jump on the banshee and lay a grenade in it. It would blow up in two seconds and you didn’t have to take fire yourself. When you finally reach the control tower, the Scarab will open fire on the front door giving you a spot to enter.



Delusions and Grandeur

Enter the door that the Scarab blew open and make your way down the destroyed hallway. When you come to the wide open room, there will be a ton of Brutes that enter to fight. Take them all down and make your way down the curved hallway on the right. When you get to the end, a scene will play with Tartarus and the oracle and everyone else gathered around. After the scene, you’ll need to take him down before the Halo is activated. As the battle starts, take out the few Brutes in front of you and then jump over to the platform. Tartarus will have a blurring force field around him for most of the time and one quick swipe from his hammer will kill you instantly.



You can move from level to level by using the beam in the center but Tartarus usually stays on the lower level. You will also have other elites taking shots at him during the battle, so when you see one of them drop their energy sword, grab it. Later on in the battle, Tartarus will lose his shield for a brief time off and on when he gets shot enough times, usually by the elites or the marine sniping from the ledge. When this happens, turn on your cloaking and run up to him and swipe him with your sword. Jump away real quick though because one hit from his hammer is death. Hack him again when you see his shield drop and eventually he will drop for good. When he does go down once and for all, sit back and watch the awesome ending to this kick ass game.
