Thanks again, Sliding Ghost! I did use some of those tips in that video, and they proved to be very helpful. Anyways, High Charity was probably the easiest mission in the game, and no doubt the shortest one as well. The part where there are about four Brutes before you go up the first lift was difficult at first, but then I decided to let the Flood spawn and take them out. Afterwards, the Flood won the battle against the Brutes, and then I drew them outside and took out the survivors.
Immediately after that lift, I used the Beam Rifle to take out all of the Drones and Flood Combat Forms. That part was relatively easy as well.
The two outside parts were, although very creepy, very easy because I just ran through everything. I believe that during both runs outside in the creepy darkness, I ran into only one enemy, and that was a Flood Combat Form.
The room where the Covenant are on one side, and the Flood are on the other was definitely the most difficult part of the mission. After I came up the lift, I immediately climbed up a Flood Pod and hid inside, away from enemy fire. I let the Flood spawn and eventually they took out all of the Covenant. It was funny because a couple of Flood forms spawned right in front of me, which caught me off guard a bit, but they didn't see me, lol. As soon as I hit a checkpoint, I ran down and tried to get to the other room, but I died before the door opened. I tried again, this time trying to lower the Flood in numbers by using the Carbine and grenades, and once again, I made a run for the door. I managed to go through without having all of my shields drained, but, nonetheless, it was a very close call.
The very last part of the mission was very easy. After the lift stopped moving, I ran to the left and climbed inside a small platform. I started walking across, and I noticed a Jackal Sniper, so I took him out before he could notice me. Then I dropped down, and made a run for the very end part of the level. I had tons of Brutes firing their Brute Shots towards me, but I evaded them. Then, a Flood Combat Form landed a couple of Shotgun rounds on me, but I kept moving forward. Thankfully, the cutscene began before I could die, lol.
Afterwards, I decided to take on The Great Journey. Everything up until the Tartarus battle was relatively easy.
At the beginning, I noticed that my allies in the Wraith were invincible (I think it was Rtas 'Vadum). Anyways, I used that to my advantage and had him take out the Wraiths, while I drove the Spectre around and had my gunner destroy the Ghosts. I was surprised that my gunner lasted during the whole firefight, but I guess that was probably because I proceeded with caution.
Anyways, the areas inside were pretty easy as well. The only challenging part there was the room with all of the Brutes, where the Covenants Separatists are trapped behind shielded doors. I only died a couple of times, but all of my allies died, except for one. It didn't really matter though, because the Banshee part is immediately afterwards.
Anyways, the Banshee part was challenging, but again I proceeded with caution, and it worked to my advantage. After Johnson destroys the front door with the Scarab gun, I drove my now tattered Banshee through the entrance, and then I drove past the Brutes.
Since I decided to not be cheap by using the Banshee, the Tartarus battle was easily the most difficult boss battle for me. Sure, it was pretty easy to evade him, but one slip-up, and I had to start over. The fact that Brutes kept spawning was also very annoying. It took me a good half an hour to finally defeat him.
Anyways, my weapons of choice against Tartarus were duel-wielded Brute Plasma Rifles (I mean, they're right there, Bungie had to put them there for a reason, lol).
I was able to get Tartarus with his shields down a few times until all of the other Brutes began to show up. After that, I just played cat-and-mouse with Tartarus and the Brutes. If I felt overwhelmed, I would use Active Camo and go up the lift or fall down to the previous level. Sometimes, Johnson would take Tartarus' shields down when I was a level above, and then I would fire Plasma Rifle bursts at Tartarus like a madman. This happened again, but this time, Tartarus tumbled to the floor like the dumb ape he is. I immediately jumped down and proceeded to t-bag him to the Arbiter's content. Tartarus was Tartarus no more, but rather Tartar Sauce...
Anyways, that wraps up my first Legendary run on Halo 2! Thanks for all of the support and keeping me going during this journey, no matter how discouraged I became at any given point.
If you have any questions about my Legendary run, I will be more than happy to answer them.
It feels odd to have completed every Halo game on Legendary Solo (with the exception of Halo Wars and Halo Anniversary, which is essentially Halo: CE). I will probably get Halo Anniversary for Christmas, though (I'm really looking at getting Skyrim, too), so I will try Legendary again, but I will not be making another thread, seeing how I just made a thread about my first Legendary run in the Halo: CE forum, lol.
Peace out, fellas!
