On the Ark level, just before you reach the bridge room, get a chopper and drive through the door (It will be easy). The move on carefully to the outside world on the side. Boost off the edge into the flat ground above the scorion tunnel and shoot at the Phantom a bit (Optional). Anyway, boost onto the ground level drive to the left side of the map. Their should be a little ramp rock (A curved rock). Drive onto it an boost just as you hit it. You'll fly through the air and crash onto the side of the Citadel building. Drive up the side up to the top and wait. The Scarab will spawn and go to the ground. Wait a bit until its in line with the building and drive off. land on the Scarab. There will be no enemies, so take your sweet time. Destroy the core and spawn the enemies. Jump off and survive. No Choppers Spawn using this method, and the Wraiths and Ghosts lose the will to fight.

I discovered this back in 09.

That Ark strategy of yours sounds profound. This is how I did it. I would also like to see how you do it.

I just enjoy driving a chopper up onto the structure in the middle, and jumping onto the scarab (either using the grav lift or unassisted) and taking it out that way. You can do something very similar on The Covenant with either or both of the scarabs if you grab a ghost.

Sounds fun, may have to try that someday.
Have you ever scarred the Phantom so much that it is nearly taken out by the Scarab?

Try jumping off the hornet cliff in a warthog, surviving and not flipping them driving onto the scarab and splattering the Brute Chieftan and blocking the door for the others. I did this. Although a few times I landed on the side of the scarab and got flung out of the map :S. I like your method though.

I prefer the Hornets. But if I didn't have them, the Wraith is my next preferred option because if the Scarabs aren't distracted, they'll just be standing there and you can hit their legs while staying in cover. Also, the Wraith will be completely undamaged if you bypass it and go to the Hornets.

Yes, I drive onto the first one then run back to the Hornets (One never leaves).

The side Im talking about is the side that you later enter with 343 and see the Peeing Brute.

The one hovering or the one belonging to the pilot who offers you it?

So if you go that way, no enemies spawn? Just the Scarab?

The one the pilto offers to you, on easy at least. Higher diffuculties he'll leave and go fight.

If you do the jump onto the side of the building the Infantry on the Scarab dont spawn, 1/2 of the choppers dissappear and the Wraiths and ghosts just stare blankly at you for 3 seconds then get blown up by the scorps.

The enemies you encounter on the way up to the peeing brute are still there, yet they seem (When I did it anyway) distant. They dont pay much attetion to you until your right in their face.

But be careful, once on the side of the building Wraiths can still fire shots at you. So dont anger them (Although there shots suck).

BTW, when the Scarab spawns and comes down the side of the building (Farther down) it fires its head gun at you.

I discovered the method when I was jumping around, bored. I saw the ramp rock and thought I could jump it (As I had been jumping across the gorges in Valhalla the previous day). So I did and I made it :D. Problem is, you need to boost in a timeframe of about 2-3 seconds or you wont make it, fall to short, or hit the building the wrong way and fall off.

I see. Well, if you want the other Hornet empty, simply get the pilot out, push (don't melee or shoot him because that activates his AI) him off the cliff. Depending on where he lands, he may survive, but he shouldn't be able to go up the spiral path to the Hornets.

All of this sounds very complex and new. I'll wait for the video so I can pinpoint the location.

Also, I stumbled across this some time ago but I'm skeptical when he says the occupants got out (it's not relevant to your glitch but I wanted to bring it up. Then again, maybe he's just talking about the 2 marines).

interesting way to destroy the scarab. i find just destroying it with a scorpion is the most fun

My logic is undeniable.

I discovered that the film campaign sucks in Halo 3. Ill film on my iPod and upload to YouTube. It will be poor quality but at least youll see it.

Maluu does the exact same thing, except he doesn't kill the Scarab using that method, he gets up the top of the Citadel(?) faster.
