Help.

On AOTCR, as discussed in a forum thread a few weeks back, there is a Banshee near the start of the level (not the one on the bridge near the end).

Not long after you get the Scorpion tank, you can look up and see the platform you have to land on at the end of Two Betrayals. On this platform is a parked Banshee.

I think someone said you can get it down. I've tried firing the Scorpion at it and fired rockets at it but just cannot shift the Banshee off the platform.

Trouble is, if you move on too far, a checkpoint triggers and the Banshee takes off. Can the Banshee be got?? If so, how? What do I need to fire and where do I need to stand?

Stand o nthe rocks underneath. back as far as you can against the wall without falling off e the rocks. aim a little in front of the support beam and fire a rocket. 2 if it doesnt come down the first time. walaa. free banshee. there is also a banshee on the HUGE cliff after you get out of the underground chasm.

A scorpion? It can't aim straight up. I've tried it. Use a rocket. When you reach the this part save and quit first so if you trigger a checkpoint just eject the disc and reload the game. My theory is that checkpoints are saved in memory until you save and quit. At that point the checkpoint is saved to the hard drive. Ejecting the disc and reloading erases the checkpoint left in memory.

Find a good vantage point where you can see the Banshee with a sniper rifle if possible. Figure out where it's situtated on the platform so when you're directly under it you know the general vicinity of where you need to aim. Be careful. If you aim too close to the edge you'll knock the Banshee away from the edge. Aim so the blast trasfers through the floor and behind the Banshee so it rolls off the edge. Take two shots in one spot in case. Reload and aim a bit closer to the edge and fire again if you want. Reload and keep trying again if nothing happens.

If anyone is interested and still having troubles obtaining that first banshee, here is a link to pictorial and video examples at HBO of how it can be done.
