The final area is by far the most difficult. If you have the patience, juggle the beam rifles and bring them with you. I usually bring four. You can take a number of them out from a distance. You should also have a full sniper. The snipers are the biggest threat followed by the nearest Grunts and then the Chieftain. Once they're down, the Arbiter can do the rest.


I did that trick, I took a BR, Sniper and PP. I was switching the BR with the Sniper to get them both to the end but after the Cutscene triggered for some reason the Sniper didn't appear. So I killed the Snipers with my BR.


You shouldn't need to bring a PP though since when you kill the Grunts and shielded Jackals, they'll drop plenty. You can sticky the Brute too :-P

Yeah, The first few times when I get that far all I think is " OMFG DON'T DI-- TOO LATE".
Its hard to keep calm once you get that far into a level. But yea, I'm used to it now, its only the first few times.

Recently I've gotten there a few times only to be killed by a wandering Brute. If it had just been the Chieftain, I would have made it, but his Carbine buddy decided to join him. I had no shields...

The only places I die on that levels, are at the River, The area before the final area. And the Final Area. If I die anywhere else, like the first few minutes, its 99% of the time the MARINES who try to throw grenades at the enemies and end up blowing me up.

lol. Execute them for treason XD

I'll be uploading my vid this week hopefully. I can almost always get to the end, but I need to find a method that works every time rather than just some of the time.

When is the most convenient for everyone? Most nights are good for me, but I will be out of town from Friday night to Sunday.

  • 08.11.2008 4:03 PM PDT

I don't really have a preference. Just about anytime, unless I'd be asleep.

  • 08.11.2008 4:25 PM PDT

Pretty much anytime except past 9 PM on Saturdays, until I start school again in September, then my schedule will get really hectic.

I've been redoing Cortana "strategically" rather than just running through. What bites is that I can practically annihilate everything all the way through the detonation of the fusion cores. Where I constantly get hung up is the return to the room with the projector. There's always a ton of Flood guarding that door with heavy weapons and I always seem to be il-equipt. If any of my SLASO-ers could offer any "strategic" pointers in regards to that little area I'd be willing to listen.

Like I said before, I'm trying to avoid the lucky runs and get past it every time. I can almost always get there now via my NEW methods, but getting past there is a pain. Any thoughts?

Hmm, Sounds fine for me.

Anyway. If you have a Carbine for that bit just headshot the Brute Flood and kill them. If its the Elite ones try to lure them too you. If its the Stalker ones and they transform to the Shooting ones (Not sure what there called) throw a Flame Grenade at them or simply throw any Grenade at them so they curl up. But leave them till last so you can simply run in and hit em with your sword.

Fortunately past the engine (reactor) room, there don't seem to be any pure forms. My biggest issue is the Flood wielding powerful close range weapons. The Elite forms with swords can kill in one hit, so I'm trying to avoid melee fights with them.

Here's the strategy I might try after work:

Thus far I'm able to kill EVERYTHING in the reactor room. This leaves me with an active camo equipment. Now, I've been using it on the hallway right before you reach the projector room. What I may do instead is see if it's possible to fight out the hall and save the camo for the projector room. Then I can flame 'nade the doorway where all the Flood are, activate the camo, and see if I can slip by.

Using my methods, I was able to get to that point three times last night in a row, so if I can find a decent strategy that works every time for that one area, that should wrap up the level tonight hopefully. Then off to Sierra 117 :-)

Tonight I will be working on Cortana and mastering the final run. And just for the fun of it, I want to see if I can fight my way through Pelican Hill :-)

I'm itchin' for perfection!

SLASO...if only I had some extra time on my hands...

I really would like to tackle it a little bit, maybe I'll give it a crack. It just seems like if I start it I'll be obsessed with finishing and I'll waste 5 year of my life.

Particularly the way I've started playing, it's a LOT of fun :-) And hopefully it won't take you five years. Check out my vids. I have three in my fileshare. Unlike my original run, in these I take my time and go through each area step by step.
