Subject: Tsavo Highway on Legendary...why, God?

Every time I've played this level on Legendary over the years I've raged. More than any level in any other Halo game, this one seems to be the most difficult. Am I the only one that thinks this?

It's all good up to the point that you have to defend the two bunkers from dropship after dropship load of Covies, almost all of which bear a Brute Hero armed with a fuelrod gun (which is a one-hit kill on Legendary), and if you try to get up on the arch-thing that was part of the overpass you entered on, the tank comes instantly and psychically tracks you wherever you go.

I can't be the only one who hates this part with a vengeance.

Imagine a triangle. It's perfect, but a little plain. You take a chisel, and carve a small decorative symbol into it to make it a little more interesting. People like it, but it could use a little more.

So you then take a sledgehammer..

What I do is collect the FRG from the start of the mission, and use that to destroy the phantoms before they can land.

Halo 3 Legend

Use the Scorpion

  • 06.03.2011 10:31 AM PDT

If only there was someone as egotistical and funny as my clone.


oh wait.

Use the fuel rod cannon. and for the other parts...walking or driving past everything is you friend! Was it just me that thought that serria 117 was the hardest followed by cortana on legendary?

  • 06.03.2011 11:56 AM PDT

There may not be a "I" in team, but there is a "I" in Win.

i think the hardest part is when you try to do annual halo with the four ghosts when one person keeps falling behind...

Yes, without dying.

Yet Tsavo Highway makes me pile-up the deaths.

I think next run-through I'll just snipe a few of the trouble-makers, along with the Wraith's turret-gunner, and drive through with my Chopper.

That should trigger the Pelican...

  • 06.03.2011 1:00 PM PDT

hardest one ive encountered was sierra 117. tsavo highway was easy for me. Makes it easy if your in a wraith.

  • 06.03.2011 6:02 PM PDT

and if u run in a chopper, your going to fail... At the end, u need to kill all the enemies to trigger the cutscene, not just get there

...The hardest from all Halo games? Not by a long shot. Hard though? Yes.

Fun fact thread maker: you can run past that part. You don't actually have to defend the area. You can just run to the next part. You're on foot and need to watch for the few Jackal Snipers and all, but you can do it.

That said, my solo Legendary run I didn't skip it. And it sucked. LOTS of deaths, definitely.

I hated it so much, but in the end I managed to pass it with the secret sniper.

And Cortana on Legendary was easy as -blam!-.

And Cobravert is absolutely correct.

Tsavo Highway was always one of my favorite levels, but yes the area past the overpass is a pain on Legendary.
There are a couple ways to make it easier.

1) Once you are under the overpass stay to the right of the map below the debris/wreckage and head straight to the Wraith. Once you clear the rocks that separate the Brute infested area from the Wraith, the Brutes behind you will disappear when you checkpoint. I always hijack that Wraith and finish the rest of the level in it.

2) Before you go through the tunnel where the first shield was, go to one of the little metal buildings you passed on your way into that area. The one where the Brute was on top of the building has a Grav Lift in it. Grab it. Be sure to NOT wreck at least 1 Chopper, and take that too.

When you get to where you typically have to leave the vehicles behind where the bridge is broken, drop the Grav Lift between the 2 concrete barricades, where the road is broken. Get some speed up in your Chopper and use the lift to jump the break. You now have a Chopper on the other side to battle the Brutes with. You can take most all of them out at range with it. I still recommend not wrecking the Wraith and using it the rest of the way.
