You have no idea how many times I uttered those words during my initial quest. My neighbors think I'm crazy :-)

At least the first 2 areas are easy now. And getting too the Scorpion is moderate. The rest is easy. Scarab is easy, rest I'm not so sure of. But once I get into the building im home free (I hope).

Mother-blam-! I killed that Chieftan, I got close to him and he enraged and I assassinated him. I go downstairs and kill all 4 Invisible Brutes and the 2 Jackals. Go back upstairs and do that trick that Vince came up with. I hit the ledge like I was suppose to, AND DIED! WTF.


I'm at a total loss for words on this one.

I'd do what that other guy suggested with the whole sandbox bit. Seriously, ouch. Yes please upload the video and I'll take a look.


Hmmm...unusual. I'll have to take a look at this as well...did you die the moment you touched the ground, or did you die during the fall?

Oh right, I forgot to bring up what I was doing. I tested Shotgun on Hunters, well...I should say the Shotgun was involved. I didn't kill them with that alone.

Well, I didn't have high hopes for the Shotgun. So I went with the infamous move that people use all the time in multiplayer: fire with an immediate melee. Worked surprisingly well considering I managed to keep attacking one Hunter that way without the Marines getting too much damage on him.

Got a new xbox. Back to SLASO.

I can get to the scarab fight 1 out of about 4 times now, but every time, the scarab knocks off the missile pods. I use the rocket launcher I have,but its hard to land the shot.

I gave up yesterday after the Friendly Fire Skull showed its true colors. Just watch the end, and youll know why I stopped playing...

While I can understand the frustration caused by being killed by a Marine, keep in mind that the Marine wasn't aiming at you. He was aiming at the Chieftan and enemies that you skipped.

And why did you even bother trying to grab ammo from that crate? You picked up full Rockets at the one earlier as well as full BR ammo.

I didnt know their were rockets over in that area, so I went over to check it out. Even if he was aiming at the Chieften down the hall, he kinda missed by about...60 degrees of rotation?

Okay, so today I found a rather interesting way to get past the first area in the Ark and much quicker than most people traditionally do it.

First the fun way. It's entirely possible to run through the first two battles and still live to tell about it. Vince got to witness it first hand. HOw long did Vince take? 45 minutes for that area. How long did it take me? Less than a minute thirty. Starocean, if you're looking to beat Pahat's time, that would be the way to do it.

I did, however, finally settle on a method for the walkthrough. First kill everything in the first area like you normally would, but when you get to the second, take out the Carbine Jackal, then start moving around behind the wall towards the other side. Take out the other two Carbine Jackals as you're doing it. Now make your way up the hill. Your shields should be critical if not close, but you'll still be alive. You'll hear the Hunter music trigger. Just as you get close to the top, jump off the side. The Hunters will arrive and you can take them out as you normally would.

By the way, I learned something interesting tonight. Once the Hunters show up, the shielded Jackals are no longer able to shoot at you. What does this translate to? Free shields for as long as you need them.

Now all the other baddies should be along the hill. Just take your time and take them out one by one. They won't come down to chase you. If you get pegged at all, just use one of the Jackals to recharge your shields. Again, Vince got to witness this first hand.

  • 09.09.2008 7:20 PM PDT

As I recall, running through the first and second area comes down to luck of the draw.

However, I have found another weapon that is proving to work rather efficiently on the Hunters. The Spiker, so long as you get them to charge you. You can circle around their melee, fire off a few rounds in to their back (which actually has a stun effect) followed by a melee before pulling away to dodge the follow up. This also should apply to the Plasma Rifle, as I recall it too has a stun effect.

Haven't gotten to test it extensively, but I must say, I don't think it's worth the trouble for the two on the Ark. Knocking them off the edge is simple enough.

For the ones on the Storm, however, this could be possible. Spikers are in abundance, as are Magnums, and Shotguns. I prefer to fight Hunters up close and personal. I'll just make sure to practice it [a lot] so I don't end up doing something stupid on the Storm.

Given the chance, I'll show Tyrant my Hunter-fighting on a level with mostly flat surfaces. The Covenant and the Storm are both good. The Covenant is a little more confined, but there are also no allies to assist me, so it means I can test fighting them mono-e-mono.

I could've turned the Blind skull on for my video, I just left it off to show where I'm aiming. It'll be much easier to do on CLASO, with someone distracting the Hunters, allowing their backs to be shot.

I have to wait until I get home to watch it, Dark. lol

To Vince, yes method #1 is luck based. But on the bright side, even if you die, you've only wasted less than two minutes of your time. On the down side, you enter the next area with no grenades, no extra plasma pistols, and no shields.

Method #2, however, seems to be working quite well so far. I'll keep testing. It seems far easier than the traditional way of letting the Brutes climb the ledge and overwhelm you.

Hopefully soon. Right now I'm working on the Crow's Nest text guide. Top priority is to finish Strategic Ark SLASO, and then the walkthrough will receive my full gaming commitment.
