Subject: Gravemind on Legendary

Many people think that this is the hardest level of all the levels in Halo 2 to beat on Legendary. Why? Because you start out with a Needler and only that. With that, you need to defeat a couple of Brutes and Grunts before you get to take a break and find another weapon and get on top before another wave comes at you. Wave after wave of enemies come at you and you only have the weakest weapons to defeat them with until a little while after when you get a Brute Shot and Carbine. I know people who tried to beat it and failed and people who beat it but with plenty of patience and tries. After the beginning part, the rest is simple. So I'm wondering, have you beaten Gravemind on Legendary yet and if so, how long did it take you?

Couple dozen times (Summer 2 years ago), average of 60-70, or if I'm In Teh Zone, 50 minutes. Just about how much time it takes for me to beat some of the longer levels in Halo and Halo 3 (Assault on the Control Room, The Ark, The Covenant).

I've beaten that part a couple years ago and it took me many attempts before I figured out you can jump up to the stands where there is plenty of cover. The trick to this is using the needler to take out the Brutes (the needlers are absolutely devastating against them) and then killing all but a few Grunts so you can scavenge the ground floor somewhat safely for more needler ammo. When you're done collecting ammo you can trigger the next wave by killing the Grunts and heading back into the stands to repeat the whole process. Pretty soon you should be able to grab a Carbine.

I just catch a checkpoint with active camo engaged, thanks to Envy, and play with permanent camo because I'm a bit of a wuss for legendary haha.

Yes, I'm the guy who had the Flood admit to being furries.

That part is impossible with a Carbine or extremely lucky sticks even if you can find those. It's also reconmended you jump to the stands and use the Carbine from there, or you'll get mega pooped.

The only other hard part is the part with the Hunters, as you are given almost no room, and the first Sniper area, as you need to focus attention on them, Speco P Elites, Rangers and any charging Hunters that remain from the fight below.

Grunt Birthday party makes Carbine fighting so easy. Add sputnik and you can nade the enemies off the map. Add envy to have temporary active camo and it makes rushing a bit easier. Add ghost to make yourself less noticed. And get thunderstorm to make all Elites Spec Ops... they bust out the swords and that makes them easy to kill.

Hahaha I sure know how to do it.. it's all I use in legendary as Master Chief. I'm a bit of a stealth fighter and I use the resources available to me. Actually, I just don't want to get good at legendary really. I was there the morning after that "glitch" was found. It was reported that night to HIH and now we all have it. Small world.
