This is round... I don't know. Maybe round 7, my 7th attempt. I've made several attempts, with nearly all of them failing. Anyways, right now I've got 20 sword Councilors, 15 beam rifle Councilors. It only took me 2 hrs 30 minutes. I wasn't expecting so many beam rifle Councilors... if I get anymore, I don't know how I'm going to get them all to shoot at Tartarus. There isn't enough room on Johnson's ledge.

This time, I am very prepared for the Councilors vs. Tartarus battle because I've got:

-a Banshee spawner (the shotgun, with infinite rounds)
-infinite ammo Brute shot and beam rifle
-super fast crouch forward movement speed
-I can't be killed by the death barrier, assassination, beam rifle shots, Tartarus' hammer, etc.

I also turned off Sputnik skull and turned on Ghost so the hammer wouldn't knock them off. And Mythic for longer lasting fights.

There's no way I can mess up. If I fall off, I can just spawn a Banshee. And here's Tartarus stuck up on the top platform.

Heh heh, good old Tartarus. Any way to correlate all your stuff in a 7. Maybe the 7th wave or vid or something. Bungie loves the 7 stuff.

Just make the biggest war you can think of, one last grand finale.

I believe he's on the very edge of the platform so it looks like he's floating. Anyways, I got lucky. All I did was move around the middle platform on foot after knocking him to the bottom one.

Good old number 7.

I intend to make Tartarus supper. :P

Does that include the beam rifle Councilors?

And what am I going to do with all these?!! If I send them out, I have to kill them so new waves can spawn. I'd much rather make them dive off.

Send them in to? I wouldn't know.

Well all I can say is that the battle is almost over. I lost most of my sword Elites to Tartarus (I had around 40) but Rtas Vadum is on one of the pillars on the top platform, a Councilor is on one of the moving platforms, I have 7 Councilors on the middle platform, and I have at least 12 beam rifle Councilors near Johnson.

It's a shame that the death barrier includes the bottom platform. So many Elites fell down to their deaths. It's pitiful.

It's also a shame that there's no Theater. I wanted Rtas Vadum to stay on the middle platform but he kept going to the top or bottom. I missed some of the action as a result. I ought to make Tartarus' hammer a dud so it will be fair for sword Elites.

Losing internet 9/7/2012 until i don't know when. See you starside folks.


Fada beo Halo 2!

I think you should get as many sword counselors as you can and fight 'em. that would be very awesome if you actually beat them.

Yeah I agree. Getting them to fight Tartarus just isn't worth it. It only gives me a headache and it just wastes the awesome potential of an army. Once I have the tutorial ready, I'll release it on Jumprs and retire from that part (Elites vs. Tartarus) of the glitch. Fighting them should be plausible but I'd have to lower the numbers at first.

Btw, has anyone managed to get Tartarus into the hall on the Banshee? I only got him to Johnson (he meleed him until he moved him off the ledge then jumped back to the middle platform). It's really a pain in the ass to get Tartarus to stay on the Banshee. I got lucky and got him stuck on the top platform.

Here's my most recent Councilors army vs. Tartarus. I got to get that tutorial up asap so I don't have to go through this anymore. I also got to stop making threads like this. They're taking up too much space. Finally, I got to give up my obsession with Rtas Vadum. It cost me precious seconds of battle footage.

On the bright side, I got a new revelation from this battle. I'm just going to send the Councilors up the lift. At least the top platform is mostly even ground (there's no holes leading to certain death and the grav lift pull/force is weaker) and with Sputnik off, it's unlikely that Elites will be sent off the top platform (as you can see at the end of the video). The large concentration of Elites on the top platform probably means that Tartarus will remain on it. Testing will commence later.
