Damn, your videos make the second pulse generator way easier to get through. You're really a pro at finding the most effective strategies to take on a challenge. I feel bad though because you put up these videos and I don't see them in time :(. I ended up spamming the door with rockets and grenades and retreating, and it was way more difficult. This time, though, I will make sure to wait for a longer time to play the next mission in case anyone wants to give me advice before I begin.
During the last battle of The Flood vs. Covenant, that was incredibly difficult. I was very close to killing all of the enemies a couple of times, but then I would die towards the end. I actually ended up sneaking past everyone on a Ghost and flying away on a Banshee. Skipping large battles isn't something I like to do, but it still gets the job done.
Well, onto Keyes...not looking forward to the part where you fall off the ship and fight your way through the near pitch-black atmosphere during some sections. Or the part after the cutscene where you collect Keyes' neural implants (or whatever they're called) and the enemies come pouring through the door.
I am aware that there is a glitch where you can jump out of the map and skip over half of the mission, but I have no intentions to do so.Indeed. Well it's my specialty. Normal approach huh? The key to doing the normal/rush/speedrunning approach is to not be seen by the rocket launcher Flood. Or if you are seen by them, get them to blow themselves up. Then you can rush the remaining Flood.
I'm glad that you decided on that. If you had waited a bit longer, you could have tried it like this. Why go for a direct approach when you could sneak over to the Banshees on foot unnoticed? The Ghost isn't exactly sneaky because enemies know where you are when you're in a vehicle.
Here's how it works: trigger the Flood and then waiting for a while and a Wraith will come close and either all the Flood will die or the Wraith will be destroyed. Then you carefully make your way to the Banshees, staying on the right and easy pickings. Also, showing yourself temporarily like I did in the video might have made this possible. I only tried this twice and was successful on my second try. I got detected by Jackals on the first try.
I'll never do Keyes. Not because it's a hard level but because it's the scariest. "What happens if my flashlight battery runs out?" "Omfg what's that?!" "-blam!- -blam!-, it's a ghost!"
