i lmao :)

do u mean the brutes and jackals in the area before?

  • 09.04.2008 7:36 AM PDT

Yep. The Brute Stalkers are the ones who use camo and those Jackals only come in the room once they're dead.

I was originally thinking to mute the game audio, but for some reason it felt like it added to the hilarity. "Do not embarrass me, pack brothers!"

Nice video. Does this mean you don't have to fight the Chieftan at the end?

Video = awesome :-) It's an easy way to kill the Chieftain and keep his equipment.

So you don't have to kill the Chieftan at the end? Also, How do you spawn the other Jump-Pack Brutes at the end after you did that trick?

I know.

This is near impossible to do.

The Black Eye Skull will probably be the biggest pain, and on Legendary, Mythic and Famine will make a lot of guns worthless unless used with a plasma pistol.

It's not hard enough to be called "Near Impossible". I'd call it Extremely Challenging.

I'd even go as far as saying Halo 3 SLASO is about as difficult as Halo 2 Legendary. It is certainly tough and takes some work, but it's far from impossible.

They spawn after you enter the room overlooking that area. So, once you get the Invincibility, you can juggle it and say, a Regenerator, up closer to where you want to fight.

No, you're still killing the Chieftain. Just sooner rather than later. This allows you to kill him without having to worry about being hammered, or for that matter pegged by the Jumppack Brutes.

Oh so It skips the fight at the end? You kill the Chieftan then destroy that thing in the middle then the level ends?

Not quite. To end the level, you'll still need to kill the Jump Pack Brutes and Carbine Jackals. To have them spawn in, retreat to the inside area. Killing them triggers the Pelican to arrive. Doing it Vince's way just allows you to kill the Chieftain easy without usung your camo. You can also potentially have invincibility as well.

id agree with u on that... except for the iron skull, starting from the start of the level makes it harder, but yeh without it, id say its as hard as halo 2 legendary... which im also doing solo at the moment, on quarantine zone now.

No.

It's essentially sequence breaking.

Normal Sequence
1 - Activate Cartographer.
2 - Head back inside.
3 - Kill enemies and go down a floor.
4 - Enter Brute Stalker Room. Chieftan says "The pack will feast on you!" and leaves. Kill all four Brute Stalkers and the two Jackals that came in the way the Chieftan left.
5 - Go through the door the Chieftan used, spawning the Jump Pack Brutes. Johnson will say that he's on his way.
6 - Kill Chieftan, Jumppack Brutes, and Carbine Jackals. Level ends.

Modified Sequence
1 - Activate Cartographer.
2 - Head back inside.
3 - Kill enemies and go down a floor.
4 - Enter Brute Stalker Room. Chieftan says "The pack will feast on you!" and leaves. Kill all four Brute Stalkers and the two Jackals that came in the way the Chieftan left.
5 - Go back to the Cartographer. The Chieftan is now downstairs. Take the shortcut down. Because you did not enter the room just before this area, the Jumppack Brutes haven't spawned and the Chieftan won't fight.
6 - Kill Chieftan.
7 - Head back to the Brute Stalker Room, which in turn spawns the Jumppack Brutes.
8 - Continue the level as normal. Chieftan is already dead, so all you need to kill are the Jumppack Brutes and Carbine Jackals.

True, though the H3 levels are easy enough that it's doable. I'd like to see someone make it through Cairo Station, Regret, or Gravemind without dying :-)

Oh geez.

I'm at the Scarab fight on the Covenant...and I think the Pelican is stuck somewhere. What can I do?

First use the tank to destroy all air and ground units. Then kill as many enemies aboard the Scarabs as possible. Then use the Hornet to land on the first Scarab. Land so that it doesn't fall off (near the head). Once you destroy the first scarab, hop back on the hornet and retreat back to the tank before the prowler and ghosts show up. Use the tank to kill off those vehicles. Then use the Hornet to assault the second scarab.

  • 09.04.2008 2:52 PM PDT

I uh...I had to blow up my Hornet with the Tank.

There was a Grunt in a Ghost on the other side of it once I put it down. I had no choice. Maybe if I kill this one random Marine who is standing around...
