I never use the pistol, probably why I had a hard time. I swithced it out for the noob combo and ran out of br ammom quick. It was the br on the side in the begining. So, get pistol and br and take out grunts, then use the Plasma Pistol on the brutes?

I do know about that door, found out a few weeks back. I thought it was just scripted until I found out.

Whats your strategy for the first are with the AA wrait, wraith and the 6 ghosts?

Hopefully if you're reading this, it's because you're interesting in kicking your campaign experience up a notch by cranking up the Legendary with all skulls activated :-) Need advice? A guide? Maybe even a friendly community to cheer you on and help guide you through the process? Then give our Mythic thread a read, and Godspeed on your Mythic journey!

Your primary opposition here comes from the Ghosts and the Wraith at the far side of the lake bed. First, you'll want to travel along the left hand side and kill the small group of Grunts and single Brute running to the corner. Then use the hog to help you take out the Covenant in and around that center shed. That area will be your best place to set up camp. From there, use the windows to either BR or snipe the Grunts from the Ghosts. Trying to deal with them in the hog is a bad idea. While against snipers, driving with the passenger side facing them may work, but when facing Ghosts when those plasma bolts hit the vehicle you also take damage.

When going up against a mortar wraith, have a bubble shield handy. When you get within range of the secondary gunner, drop the shield and the wraith will start coming towards you. Board the back of it destroy it just enough to kill the two Brutes. Don't use it just yet though. You don't want to tango Wraith on Wraith against the Anti-Air. Instead, sneak around behind the AA wraith, board it from the back (to avoid the gunner) and destroy it. Then use the mortar wraith to kill the immediate enemies just beyond the door.

The key here is not to rush.

Listen to what the guy said in the above post. I personally used grenade jumping to get to the first platform.

1) Arbiter

2) Plasma Pistol/BR Combo. When you hit him with a charged shot, he will stop using his weapon for a few minutes. Unless we're talking about a Chieftian. Still either option is doable.

Sorry to keep posting about this in your thread Tyrant, but assisted jumps is something I do know quite a lot about. Particularly those on Halo.

In normal circumstances, a Fuel Rod Gun is easiest for these jumps. Simply stand in the correct place, run forward while looking down, jump and then fire at the ground.

However, with Black Eye gimping your recharge ability, its better to use a hammer, since that gives you a boost in the jump, while not harming your shields.

I've just produced a shortish saved film demonstrating both hammer jumps up to the spine of the tower. And just to prove its more than possible, I did it on Legendary with all skulls on.

You can download the saved film here

I did die once at the beginning, because of blind I thought I'd picked up the hammer but actually hadn't. Its only a minute of the film though.

It also demonstrates how easy it is to simply hide away for this section of the level and let Arby, Johnson, and the Sentinels take out all the flood for you. Then, when trying to get an infinite Spartan Laser; Johnson killed me. And thats the end of the film :)

If you don't have time right now for the saved film, I've thrown up a gallery on my website showing stages of both jumps.

No biggie. I needed to test the gallery features anyway.

I've only tried the mission "The Covenant" SLASO, but I always, ALWAYS die at the two scarabs - AGH!

Never mind, I gave up after a while. Good luck with SLASO, it's a challenge even for us who use 8-10 look sensitivity.

Nice job getting that far! Try my guide and see if that helps.

To play or not to play....

Anything special happen in the cinematics after you completed SLASO? Did you watch the legendary ending to see if it was different?

There is no special ending for completing it on SLASO. I think there should be, but it's the same as the ordinary Legendary ending.
