Hey guys, I am struggling with this challenge, and am wondering if you can give me advise.
I am at the end of PoA. The remaining enemies are the 2 dual-wielding Zealots and a single wield Zealot. The FM is dead (thank god) and I have a checkpoint at the Mass Driver. I am currently there with a full DMR and a PP with about 25% charge, and no shields. I can't finish the level because the elites or phantoms will kill me even though I have a drop shield. I have tried to pepper the elites shields down, but the bastards won't stand still. The only health packs left are in the shed like room under the driver, and every time I go in there, an elite follows me and melees me.
If you have any advise, please let me know.
PS. RC, can you explain how to grenade jump to the driver? I watched your speed run, but I cannot replicate it.
PPS. There was a rare occation where the Zealot with one PR stood still while I shot him one bolt at a time. I doubt it will occur again. I want to break my controller.
EDIT: nm. I finished it. Whittled down 2 of them, assassinated the last one. Feels good to get it done. Took forever and made me hate that level so very much, and it was my favorite.

The key to dealing with actually trying to kill the final Zealots is to stand exactly where RC Master stands, when he stands on the steps. I stood a little bit forward on the stairs to "goad" the elites to come towards me. That way you had a better chance of them getting hung up or being exposed for a lot longer time while I peppered them. The only thing is that I could never kill the original ground dual wielding elite. I got him pushed up but he would only hide way back as far back as you could from the attack stairs. So I never had any way to get him. He wound up being the only Elite I left alive throughout that part of the game. I would just leave the last guy alone, if you can't get him but you don't have to kill any of them if you don't want to.
As a side note, if you're getting ready to shoot the MAC cannon, right after you kill the Fuel Rod Zealot, run back and re-charge your health. You're almost guaranteed to survive all the dropships shooting you if you have full shields and full health. Plenty of health in the ammo room (the one outside where you fought the brutes). If you try the mac cannon health packs, one of the Zealots may come running down and ruin your day.
