Ditch the sword, it won't help on Legendary. Grab dual Brute Plasma Rifles, or a Carbine. Take the grav lift up to the upper level and move around the hole until you can see him. Then wait for the Sarge to take his shield down with the Beam Rifle, once it's down, unload on him. Repeat until he dies.

You have to wait for Johnson to shoot him 3 times to bring his shields down, then open up. It would be quicker with the sword, but unless he's preoccupied with your elites, you'll get a rather great view of his hammer...

We’ve watched while the stars burned
Out, and creation played in reverse.
The Universe freezing in half-light.
Once I thought to escape.
To end a master, step out of the
Path of collapse. Escape would make us God.
Yet I cannot help but remember one enigma,
A hybrid, elusive destroyer.
This is the one mystery I have not solved.
The only element unaccounted for.

You have to wait for his shield to get sniped off by Seargent Johnson.

On legendary it takes about 8 times. I originally thought you had to use the sword as well (everone else was doing it). It took me about 30 mins to finally kill him, then my friend said you could shoot him too. I went back and tried it out and it was a snap.

I've tried all of those tactics, but i find just blowing the sh1t outta him with all of the weapons works just fine.

easiest way i find is just stay in relative close proxmity but not in the danger zone of the one hit kill. have a shotgun on hand as as soon as hit sheilds drop smoke him a few times and repeat. if not shotgun use brute shot, anything thats meant do do damage to flesh not plasma

there are a few brutes with a shotgun, thats how i killed him,

Gamespot also said to go into the gravity lift thing, and press (and hold i think) x and you'll grab a skull and go into Iron Mode
