Thanks for the tips. I just cleared it on my first try (I'm sitting in front of the scarab now). We'll see how that battle plays out... probably not too well.


Best of luck!

My advice would be to actually use the wraith rather than destroy it. Hide in the crate (head over there before doing anything else), kill the gunner, bash the wraith and kill the pilot. Then use the Wraith to destroy everything else.

...I died.

Then I made it back to the scarab and died again.

Now I'm sitting in front of the scarab with the game paused. I'm going to try to missile pod the back off, then snipe the rest of the surviving brutes from the tower. Can the secondary gun hit me up there?

Holy crap! I just found out where people come from.

You see, when a mommy and a daddy love each other very much...two marines appear out of nowhere! Yep.

I'm in the warehouse on the Storm. Two marines come walking out from somewhere, and the Arbiter is fighting the Hunter pair...with just a Sword. So I figure those Marines were just hiding somewhere. Then two more marines appear right before me, out of nowhere.

Of those four marines, one is alive, and two more just spawned. If it weren't for this, I fear I would be in a stalemate with the Hunters.

Edit : Magic Marines #1, 2, 3, 4 are all dead. *sighs* However, Magic Marines #5, 6, 7, and 8 turned the tides. They kill off a Hunter. The other one appears to be stuck underneath a staircase.

Thanks Tyrant.

...so that's how the Arbiter beat the Chieftan so easily. He managed to get behind him and assassinate him. Lmao. I hope the Chieftan's invincibility is still there...

I made it to the scarab twice more.

The first time the secondary gun killed me while I was sniping.

The second time was sooooo close. I killed all but two brutes on the scarab. I stuck one of them and then BR'd him, and the second I PP'd and went in for a melee but before I could land it, the armorless brute grabs a turret and pulls a 180 to kill me.

I'm getting closer, little by little; eventually I'll get it.

  • 08.07.2008 3:19 PM PDT

Got to the AA gun, low on ammo, and my rockets disappeared when I dropped them during the Scarab fight. I stuck (or think I did) the core twice, and was getting shot at from somewhere. I notice my blood on the ground after I pull back, and I realize that if I don't manage to stick it, I'm screwed. I throw all the Plasma Grenades in the area, missing all but the last, which bounces off part of it.

I head back and grab a Carbine, take up the spot as far right as I can go, near where the machine gun turret is mounted. I start firing all my rounds, and get a small explosion to signify I damaged it. Click click, Carbine is empty. I accidentally drop it for a Magnum, because I thought I was holding my Plasma Pistol. I betray the Arbiter and take his Carbine, head back to my previous spot. Continue firing away. The core is now red, plasma venting out around it. I just need another shot...but my Carbine is empty. Victory is so close! I take out my Magnum and see the core, and say "Grrr" in a very non-enthusiastic manner. The pea shooter fires off a bullet...and the AA gun explodes.

And here I've found the Magnum to be so useless, but it just helped me clear the Storm.

Congrats Vincint!



And yes to Alpha. The AA gun on the scarab can kill you while you're on the crane. In fact, it can even shoot through the walls of that little building between the missile pods. F**k that Stosh!

  • 08.07.2008 3:46 PM PDT

<><>FACILITY B5D<><>

Finally! I got lucky with the missile pod and killed the scarab... what now?

FYI I have a full rocket launcher and a BR.

Give the Rocket Launcher to the Arbiter.

No. Keep the Rocket Launcher so it stays full. If you can get it to the end, clear out the immediate Grunts on the hill, you should be able to destroy the AA Gun from a safe distance. On the other hand, the Arbiter could decimate the Hunters...

Edit: Any suggestions on what level I should try next? Sierra 117 or Tsavo Highway?

Giving the Rocket Launcher to the Arbiter will not deplete the ammo inside. I gave the laser to a Marine on the Covenant, and after I took it back it still had five shots.

You can pick up the rocket launcher later if you need it.

I suggest Sierra 117 next. I found it much easier.

  • 08.07.2008 4:38 PM PDT

Hmmm...I think I may do Tsavo Highway, though, just to get another vehicle based mission out of the way.

Of course, Sierra 117 has a lot of Sniper Jackals, so that will be a pain too...

Sierra 117 it is.

  • 08.07.2008 4:54 PM PDT

I found the Sierra 117 BR Glitch!!!
SLASO, haven't completed

I Really Didn't Have A Problem With Those First Few Minutes In 117
I Am Very Skilled With The Pistol And Headshots
And I Always Get That Turret Off The Phantom
The Problem Was The Forth Jackel In The First "Easier" Area
But I Found A Good Way To Get Him/Her

Check out my very detailed guide of Tsavo Highway (page 51 or 50 of this thread). I also have the video in my file share.

I'm doing worse.

Sorry for double post, but I'm frustrated... The Arbiter never spawned and I got killed from a spike grenade that went through the floor when I had full shields.

Likewise there is a second guide on the front page.

Achronos is on!!!

Keep this thread on the front page so that he will see it and answer the question!!!
