Tartarus has been described by Truth as being able to rip to shreds a fully sized Hunter.

Holy -blam!-.


This. Master Chief, nor Ripa wouldn't last.

Johnson alone proves this.


Well a spartan killed two of them in hand to hand in Onyx.


Bull-blam!-. There is only one case of a Spartan killing a brute in hand to hand combat in the books. That is first strike.

IIRC, in Ghosts of Onyx, Kurt kills the brutes with a brute shot grenade launcher, and doesn't engage in hand to hand or melee.


And even then, John used a grenade to kill the Brute since he could not do it with his own (armored and augmented) hands.

...I was on about Hunters.

Oh, will? You mean how he managed to simply tear out enough worms to kill a single hunter (did not rip it apart), turned, got shot, took a step forward and died?

And the fact it was a complete and utter shock to both sides meaning that was the only time they even tried it?

So it still killed the hunter right? And did truth big-up Tartarus cos his love for the Brutes or did tatarus actally do that?

And it was unthinkable to the elites.

As for the second part... why are you so against that Ripa might not be the biggest badass of the lot?

We are all going to get banned aren't we?

brutes are naturally stronger than both spartans and elites; Thus since Tartarus is assumed to be the strongest brute of that time you can conclude we would far outclass Ripa.


The idea is flawed from the start since a mere human beat Ripa, so why are you asking if Tartarus could? did you not see him lift the arbiter with his hammer? all he would have to do is throw Ripa of a ledge.

Well Ripa can jump very high and his swords have an area of effect damge like the gravity hammer. As long as Ripa can stay clear or the Fist of Rukt then Ripa has the advantage.

Rukt renders Ripa's swords irrelevant.
Aren't Energy Swords described as blades that can cut through anything with ease? My money is on Ripa. Though he was arrogant, he was still ridiculously strong.

He underestimated his opponents greatly, and fought to wound, not kill.

Brutes can take a large amount of punishment, so Ripa's tactics, arrogance, and ego-stroking would kill him.

Rukt still beats his swords, besides all Tart has to do is use the magnet thingy on his hammer, to line Ripa up for the kill.

They both can leap great distances. Ripa has rage, two energy swords. Tartarus is too big a target and hard to miss. Hell, I always used a banshee against him and it was pretty easy.

Using a Banshee = Kill Tartarus
Using a Simple Knive = Kill Ripa

not to mention the whole "Rage" thing is a gameplay element, Ripa would not be able to jump high as tartarus

I doubt Ripa could jump ontop of aircraft.

Also, people seem to forget Ripa's armor has the stealth module, but ZERO shielding. His only protection is the armor plates.

Which seems to work well enough considering that they can absorb a full clip from an AR and a bunch of pistol shots at point-blank.

Perhaps, though forge was using the halo 2 style pistol. Isn't it a weaker variant?

Though, the hammer would smash him just as good.

Tartarus, The only reason Thel won imo is because he had help, and plus Thel's better.

Everyone seems to think Tart can see invisible Elites. Guess what? He can't.


If Tartarus knew he was in the vicinity, he would be watching, and besides, we don't know for sure if he'd use it.

Now you're just picking things from the air. When was the convo ever about that? And I thought I was a fanboy!

  • 10.08.2011 5:13 AM PDT

No, but you are fighting tooth and nail against the canon height of Elites.

Okay, listen, we should get our stories straight, all right? If anyone asks, and no one's gonna ask, don't worry, but if anyone asks, tell them as far as you know, the last time you checked, everyone looked pretty much alive, all right? Not dead.
