Naked Eli:
Are there any other tactics we know of that weren't in the vid?
Very biefly:
you can deload the wraith by going back to the start of the Scarab area.
You can deload the Elites, Shades and Ghosts in the second half of boneyard by going back to where the cutscene started.
You can initially skip the spawn for the enemies in the second smelting room and set up a trap for the Ultra Elite.

Following on from my vid of the second smelting room, I thought I'd offer a quick(ish) clip of me clearing out the workshop where the Zealots and Field Marshall are. Since I went right to the end in that run anyway (from Alpha). In it, I take out one Zealot first, then the Field Marshall, and then finish off the final two Zealots.
Things to note: You can take out one Zealot from the doorway to the building. In the clip he got knocked onto some barriers which paralypsed him somewhat, but its certainly possible to take him out from this position even if you aren't so fortunate as that. I used the Holo to draw him out (a little) and distract his fire on occasion.
Next, from the same position as you would take out the Field Marshal from, behind the fence, you may be able to target and take out a second Zealot. They seemed quite intent on staring at me and offered only minimal returning fire.
With 2 Zealots and the Field Marshall dead, there is only 1 zealot left to deal with using the stair method. This might make things a bit easier for people who felt overwhelmed trying to deal with 3 dodgy zealots all at once from the stairs.
The Holo doesn't seem to help much in drawing out the zealots when on the stairs, but at least you can use it to keep track of where they are.
EDIT: oh, damn. One last thing I wanted to note on Tyrant's PoA video:
If you're jumping straight up to the mass driver from the area behind the fence; jump onto the section of the wall closer to the mass driver platform (i.e. on the other side of the little strut) then onto the top of the wall, then to the outer wall, and hop over the railing onto the platform. (thats probably explained horribly so if needs be I can provide pictures) This'll leave you exposed for less time and depending on where the zealots are, the platform itself can cover you a little.
Sweet, thanks a ton RC. Would you mind providing a short clip or pictures for your edit? I definitely don't want to die that far into the mission and it sounds like a good route.

Congrats on numero 11! I like your style, cant wait to see the vid.
