Nearly every hardcore fan complained that the Legendary mode in Halo 1 was just too easy. We listened. And in Halo 2, I think most everyone will agree that things are much much harder this time.

To those who have overcome this herculean challenge, I salute you. To those still working on it, I recommend taking a peek at this incredibly useful walkthrough.

Mike Miller has painstakingly broken apart every detail of every level to help exponentially increase your odds of success. Overall tips, tactics and even videos will help lead you to victory.

Thanks to Mike and HBO for looking out for us Legendary impaired players.

Mike Miller deserves way more credit than he's getting for this. has anyone watched those vids? it's like watching a flawless game. I can only imagine how much time it took him to get all those vids....how many gigs of video got deleted cause some damn elite boosted into him w/a ghost and sent him into a death barrier.

and his stickies!! holy crap w/teh stickies!!! this guys insane....I hope and pray I never play him in midships.

mad props mike miller, mad props.

mike i think you wasted your time making this guide. if you want to be the best halo2 gamer in the world you shouldnt use strategy guides you should find a way to beat it without anyones help but your own. i myself beat the game on legendary in 1 week! and i'm not that good of a halo2 gamer since i always get my ass kicked online. if you want to use the guide then i wont or cant stop you but before you use it try to beat the game without using the guide.

He's my cousin, playing campaign with him is awesome (Christmas and birthdays are the only times he gets to bless me with his presence, unfortunately), he knows all the tricks, as you can infer from his videos. Search Mike Miller on HBO videos and watch some of his Halo CE videos, the gameplay really is flawless.

Oh, he sucks at multiplayer, so don't worry. Also, he doesn't even play it much, he's getting a PhD in biomedical something or another.

In the last level you can get a banshee in to fight Tartarus. You have to shoot of both wings then wedge your way through the wrecked room. This can be kind of hard and might take a while. Then you have to get out to get the door into the room with all the brutes to open. Just get back in and fly the banshee in. Too prevent your banshee from getting killed in this room fly right through the next door as soon as the brutes come out. Then it will go into the movie where tartarus activates the ring. At the end of the movie you will be out of the banshee but you can just run back into the hall behind you and it will still be sitting in there about halfway back. Then fly it into the last room and kill Tartarus. He won't attack you while you are in the banshee. Just don't fly lower than the middle platform you will die somewhere down there. I actually found this out on easy, after I beat Legendary. If you have trouble in the destroyed room at just keep wiggling the banshee around and it will eventually get through.
If you are having trouble in the cargo bays in the first level I can't help much. That was the hardest part of Legendary. I about threw my Xbox out the window after about 78 tries. Just get all the battle rifle ammo you can beforehand. You can also dual weild weapons from the previous room and put them it the room that locks so you have extra ammo. In the first room while the marines are still alive go to the center of the platform and get the grenades. Use those and kill as many aliens as you can while they are distracted by the marines. After that try and hide and use the battle rifle to kill as many as you can. When you run out of battle rifle I suggest using an SMG and a Plasma Pistol. If you think you can you can try running up to and Ultra or a gold elite so they pull thier sword out. Then kill them from FAR AWAY and take thier sword. It is really hard. They just keep coming out of those tubes.

I love this walkthrough. I personally got HALO 2 for christmas and I was actually introduced to HALO and the X box then. I played and beat Legendary in a month but I have this sick habit of not stopping until everything is dead on all games, but this man is amazing. I watched these vids and I stopped and said to my friend who was watching them with me, "that is my new goal". He said i was crazy... i now can play it almost that good myself. don believe me. try me. i will beat the game and show anyone who dont believe me on video i just need to know how to put my game on to a vid so anyone who can tell me how i will email you a URL to a site with me on it. oh and props to mike. but anyway ya i am a big fan of FPS games and i didnt own an xbox until christmas... i know it sux. but i got it with HALO 2 and loved it so much i went out and got HALO 1 with that weeks gas money and i am about half way through it on legendary. i personally found 1 to be more difficult but then i also am used to HALO 2 where i can run in and take out the entire troop of covies with a plasma pistol and Battle rifle and doing that on H1 isnt exactly as easy. but i really enjoy playing and i am looking forward to getting xbox live so i can join y'all online and learn the ropes of H2 and 1 against the real people. i have run a few tournaments in my area and enjoy playing so i will see y'all there.

I beasted Legendary. Tip: use Battle Rifle/SMG combo on Elites (or else you're pretty much dead). And the last boss was so easy to me.

I think that u have wasted ur time on this couse there are only a couple of parts in the game that seem imposible and they can take a while to get around....at first. but seeing that the levels are som much shorter than in halo 1 u do the hard bit and then uv almost done the level[excluding cairo] iv don the game on legendary my self the thing that most people must be lakking is persistance or skill and saying that then a walkthrough is going to make them better at the game but bairly any better online

Never Trust Robots

Legendary took me a full day and a half to complete, but it is good to get the viewpoint and tactics of additional players, thanks !

I don't want to sound conceited, but i have beaten the campaign on Legendary *(note: before the the 1.1 update)* It approximately took me a week and half-school and tennis is what held me back-but i had previously beaten the game on heroic which i think helped me for the things to come with Legendary. I think beating the game on a lower difficulty before legendary is very helpful. Although beating Halo 1 on Legendary gave you a new ending, but don't expect anything new by beating Halo 2 on Legendary, sorry guys!

Legendary is actually somewhat different the playing on Live. All I can say really is just keep playing!!!

Sorry... but legendary got owned in less than a week by me. You will have to come up with a more difficult system. I still enjoy saving marines from Halo 1 as a further challenge to legendary level. I have saved marines on every area including the 7 or 8 drop ships when you first land on Halo abd when you beam into Truth and Reconciliation (I saved three there).

Legendary mode isn't that hard if you know what your doing. I know alot of people who use the "-blam!- combo" to get through legendary, but its all a matter of planning. You know where they are unless ur braindead and have a horrible memory. It's all about well placed grenades. Legendary isn't hard enough yet...if we see a halo 3....I'd like it to be a REAL challenge. To be honest I found DMC 3 harder then halo 2 legendary........
