33rd Mythic conqueror (Campaign Solo Legendary All Skulls On)

I've already given up on the contest but I'm going to try and beat this level to get on the list. Can anyone give me some tips on killing the scarab and that area in general? That seems to be my stopping point. Also why do you need the carbine?


Well, the best way to beat the scarab (and safest) is to go on the rock that is mentioned in 1.0 and kind of sit there. If you wait, the scarab will eventually start turning around (Just like in the Storm) and you can shoot at the back and eventually kill it all from the safety of your tank. I have found that shooting the legs and then trying to jump onto it is much more risky. I died twice doing that. Once, as I was jumping, the top part of the scarab shot me in mid air, and the second time, I killed the scarab, jumped off, and then a vehicle killed me. Also, the Brute chieftain with the fuel rod gun was easiest to kill by shooting him with the plasma pistol and then assassinating him. Trust me, you are going to need that ammo for the rest of the mission. And nothing will make you madder than if you run out of BR ammo.


FRC Cheiftain? Just take him out with the tank before you even move up... Unless you mean the Plasma Cannon Chieftain after the map room, in which case even if you run out of BR ammo, there's a crate with Carbines in the area where you fight the hammer chieftain and his jetpack cronies.


Well I am talking about the plasma cannon brute chieftain. The best way to kill him is to move up behind the pillar closest to him (Pillar in the middle, not the side pillars) and then peak out, shoot him with the plasma pistol, and then assassinate him. The best way to kill the final brute chieftain is to use Tyrant's glitched version of the ending, assassinate the chieftain (he wont attack you) and then stock pile the weapons. In that area, there won't be any jump jet brutes until you leave and come back. So take this time to grab the 2 carbines, and all of the plasma rifles you can find and bring it over to the entrance. Then go through the door, and grab the 2 plasma pistols that the jackal's dropped. Those weapon's should be enough to kill all of the jet pack brutes when you return.

I could never get the plasma-stun assassination down for that one. Every time he would just gun me down point-blank.

You need to practice it a bunch of times. Just go into the game on legendary, all skulls (except Iron) starting from Rally point Bravo. Just go through that about 5 times and you should be ready to take it on when you get to it legitimately. it sure as heck helped me.

I'm not really going to worry about it; I beat the mission and that's good enough for me.

Nope, I'm on the list at spot # 28 (though, I should be 29, Archer beat me to it).

Nice man, congrats. At least we will all know that we are ready for firefight. lol. When ODST comes out we should get a bunch of the conquerors together and try firefight out, see how far we get.
