The Ranged Flood can be annoying at times but are managable, Typically when you kill one they drop spike grenades.


Be careful though. If you kill them via grenade, then throw another grenade. The grenade you threw and the Spike Grenade will explode. So be careful.


Depends on what type of grenade you use and the locaton of the ranged flood. For instance, if you throw a spike grenade and they're clinging to a wall, the spike grenades will drop to the floor. However, if you use a plasma, and they're already close to the ground, make a run for it.

Are we aiming for CLASO at 5pm EST, or trying for 4:45? I should be able to stay on later tonight. If we start at 5, i should be on ~2 to 4 hours.

Awesome :-) 5pm EST. Any earlier and I can't guarantee I'll be there on time. What we might want to do is do a practice run through Sierra 117 but restart at the last checkpoint when one of us dies (again only for practice). That way we can develope sound team strategies for each area.

Yea, Im my run i took 2 BR's, a Sniper,Carbine, Beam Rifle, Plasma Pistol to the final area. And I tried to get Arbiter his sword out which failed. I'm not sure, but I think one of my BR's vanished.

Also, When I did my run, I cleared the first area out then ran back up to the ledge and super long ranged PP+BR'd a Brute on the Bridge. I think it was 1 of the Carbine Brutes. So the Chieftan ran down along with a Brute. So I was safe on the ledge while I assisted Arbiter to kill them. Then I long ranged PP+BR'd the last Brute on the bridge and moved up let the Arbiter do the rest.

Told you, always good to stock up :-)

And we'll be doing plenty of that with CLASO. I expext everyone to enter that area with a beam rifle.

Solo means doing the missions alone. You're allowed to take advice. 99% of the time. The enemies and everything aren't the same. So the tactic you used last time wont work this time. So even if you do take advice it might not always help.

Whoever uses this walkthrough however will not have genuinely completed SLASO. It's solo for a reason, help should not be obtained from others in any way. It wouldn't feel the same if I watched those videos and copied everything you did.


funny how your stats don't show any slaso activity. besides, how can you not call it legit? each person will develope their own methods to getting through each stage. the same ones won't work every time. the Tyrant Guide is there to give you an idea of what you should do when you don't have a clue.

Inspired by our man Vince? :-D

Things like this will make my walkthroughs even better by getting methods from multiple individuals.

Yea, I guess so. First time I fired at a Brute it missed. 2nd it hit. Luckily it only took 1 BR shot to kill him.

Watch my video whenever you get the chance. I'm going to check it out later and remember what I did. I'm done so many runs all my attempts are mixed into 1 blur of Sierra 117.

I'm still working on a way to get past that last little area every single time, but Cortana comes first. I have a similar deal going on there. See, the last bit would be simple of there was plenty of plasma pistol ammo available post-reactor detonation. But since there isn't, it forces you to dispatch the shielded Elite forms up close.

Eh, it works for knocking Ranged Flood off the walls in Cortana, but that's about it.

I started The Covenant a while ago. I reached the bit with the normal Wraith and the Prowlers and etc. Killed by a ghost. I gave my Spartan Lazer to the marine in the passenger seat of the Warthog.

It takes a lot of patience. Here's how I do it. Take the warthog over to the closest turret and hide behind the rock. Get out and wait for the Ghosts to follow. Hide behind the hog and let the Marines do the work. This is the ONE spot where the Wraith can't hit you. Once the Ghosts + turret are down, go for the Wraith. in this spot, it's easy to drive forwards and backwards to avoid the mortars.

I hid there. But I made the mistake of making my Marines kill the Wraith before anything else, so a Ghost came up from my side and killed me. Also, I didn't get out of the Warthog.

You want to make sure your enemies are only attacking you from one direction. Also, getting out of the Hog to deal with the Ghosts allows you to use it as a shield, just like in my Storm video.
