I am going to go out on a limb here and say that it has nothing to do with the order, but the number. Therein lies a problem...if you can't kill too many, how do you get through? I'd advise looking over RC's film for anything that differs between what he did and you did; try and see if the Elites retreated, when, and where to. There has to be something factoring in to it, right? If it's none one of those things, well...Dark has completed the level, too. Why not look at his film, too? Sure, RC has the fastest run, but speed, success, and safety rarely go hand in hand.
Thanks Vince, your opinions are always very insightful. I really should look at some more videos. What do you mean by "number"? I kill my elites one at a time. If you've found a way to kill multiple elites at once, I'm listening. I get through that part by killing all three elites; when the first elite falls, the other two run back a bit making it harder for me to shoot them.
I'm almost done; I should be able to complete the level this weekend. I got to the pad again, but on the two chieftan wave, a captain charged me. He killed me with a repeater of all things.
The elites like to hang just inside the threshold of the smelting room. It's easy to kill them from the rafters. If you kill one, sometimes they go just outside the threshold which creates the problem I describe. But sometimes like in RC Master's video, they'll stay right where they are; kill another one and the remaining elite will retreat to the stairs which is just what I want him to do. The hardest part about this last elite is not the elite himself, but rather getting Emily to come help you. No matter how much you push him, he decides when he's ready to go hand-to-hand with the last elite.
On a recent run when the two remaining elites retreated, I jumped down from the rafters to try in vain to push Emily to help me. When I got back up to the rafters, they were standing where I wanted them to stand. I killed one and as expected, the last one retreated. This might possibly be a remedy.
Excluding the landing pad and the yet-to-be-played-on-true-mythic zealots at the end, my weakest part is without question the smelting room. Once I master that, I should be able to get to the pad consistently.
AuraSoldier, thanks for your tip on the DMR crate! It worked really well! That's one more thing I can take out of consideration for that last part.
