Yep, those Ultras, are the only enemy, besides the Hunters, that can take a sticky grenade, and live.

I find the elite Ultras to be harder than the Jackal Snipers.

RIP Halo 2

Honestly, I've spent very extended amounts of time playing the heretic leader and Tartarus. I can't choose between them.

Just the fact that the Hunters come in pairs make them more difficult.
That giant shield they hold doesn't help much either.

Can't get close to them; can't stay too far away. Tough enemies.

The first Hunters in the beginning of Gravemind are a pain in the ass.

But Ultras are worse.

Far worse. Try killing one with Mythic on.

Good luck.

Ultras may be tough on Mythic, but they are near invincible in banshees.

Thunderstorm? I haven't played in a while.

the sniping jackals are by far the most annoying but the white elites kick hiney.

A lot of people have said Tartarus is tough for them. I've found that getting to the top level and peering into the middle seems to work pretty well. Once in a while he'll come up; you can just evade/hit cammo, and he'll eventually go back down. Then it's just a waiting game for the three snipes. (Grab some carbine and hump it back to the top if you have to...)
Heretic Leader was so unforgiving. I try to hit cammo while jumping onto the floor cube-things, then run behind the elevator on the second level. Nothing but patience and grabbing the weapons/grenades on the side walls seems to work on him.
That or Truth without Envy.
