Halo 2 for Life!

My memory of kill him last was that of it being sorta silly. Even on legendary mode, if you use the right sequence of attacks on him its not overly difficult.

I think its silly to me now because I've killed him so many times lol.

The first time I killed him it was pretty awesome. The rest of the game is more wide open and changes in different ways each time (or so it seems) and so the campaign as a whole is still awesome to go through.

But the charm of killing tartarus has gone down hill. I will defeat him again in a few weeks and I'll tell you if it became awesome again or not lol.

Lol, on another site we called him Mohawk. I didn't think he was that hard. That stupid hammer was lame imo. Now, if he could shoot electrical bolts with that thing (like he shot Arbiter in the QZ cutscene), then it would have been hard.

The first time I fought him on Legendary it was hard but it didn't take me long to figure out how to stay away from him.

Heh, then when I figured out I could just drive a Spectre in there and get Miranda on the turret and clone Sarge, I just sat back and watched. Yeah I know, that's cheating because Mythic didn't even help the poor guy.

Dam, I miss the old days playing halo 2 with my old brothers in arms. Thank you my old friends for giving me this account, I shall continue our legacy.

I kill Tartarus using the Banshee. Fast and easy, even on legendary.

True that or a Wraith works too.

Is it even possible to get a spectre or wraith in there? I have tried to get the banshee through, but with no success. Every time I try to get the wings off I end up destroying it. I would probably give my left you know what to get a wraith in there, but I would have to be shown, lord knows I am not smart enough to figure out getting it in there.

Hey womyfts
Yup, there's a back door portal:

Wraith

Spectre

If you want the Banshee just use the same method above. The Spectre will actually fit through the front door if you don't want to use the portal, you just have to ram and wiggle in. If you shoot the wings off the Banshee, always use a PR like this.

If I saw what happened correctly, if you place the Wraith properly outside, it will appear inside when you trigger the final battle? It seems to have fallen through the outside structure to the location you boarded it?

I had no real problem with him first time.. It was filled with red blobs of plasma and needles but I got him.

Yes and it works for any difficulty. The Spectre vid is a better visualization, after Sarge blows the door is when you will pass through the portal, that's why I waited. You will get a checkpoint when the door is blown so at that point just experiment (you don't have to hurry) and move around that light thing until you port. Try to be just below the light when the port happens.

Edit: If you are playing single player, save and quit after Sarge blows the door because if you are too high or low with respect to the light then the vehicle will not be waiting for you. If that happens just restart at the checkpoint becasuse you cannot suicide revert when you are ported inside.

Oh yeah, I forgot to add; the vehicle you choose will show up in the cutscene, that's why I continued filming with the Spectre.
