By the way, there are funner ways of killing Tartarus without a banshee, my favorite would be using a spectre, with a marine as the gunner, and two Sargeant Johnsons on each side. If you want an Idea of How it is done, look at one of my lazy links below in my signature.

Um, thanks for spoiling it for those who didn't beat Halo 2. Just joking. But yes, this is the Library, damn it, can you not see? :)

i don't care how old this kind of junk may be, i'm still posting it

i will never forget this. not having a Banshee was kinda tough but this worked very well for me and should for you too:

Inventory:
* Sword
* Dual Brute Plasmas

Let Sarge knock down the gorilla's shield and make sure you're a safe distance away. while his shield is down, shoot tartarus preferably a headshot
Once the brutes come, get to the top and be ready to use active camo.
Drop down and slice the brutes one at a time, so slice and drop to the 1st level and go back to the 3rd level. continue til all are dead and some elite friends may come along the way. This is a very safe way though tedious and long.
Repeat this until the white gorilla is dead.
He will usually die after blasting him with dual plasmas 7 times.

Halo 3: Legendary Edition ~ $99.99 (pre-order) @ GameStop ; )

CORRECTION: the helmet is life-sized!

There's only one kind of metal, and it's black.

Beer = win

Just use brute plasma rifles. No cabines. Just plasma. He'll die way faster. This is if it's on legendary.

Just bring your own beam rifle, and make sure you have a bunch of stickies.

I used a Wraith to fight him. I didn't actually kill him with the Wraith (even on easy, it didn't seem to do any damage for some reason). I used it to block the grav lift, so he got stuck. :)

I agree, spawning 5 sargent's using a spectre is great. And I am happy to report that I killed Tartaurus on Legendary with all skull effects active, all 15 of them.

What matters in a game is not to win but to make others loose.

The easier way to kill him: On easy difficulty just hide and watch TV Sarge kill tartarus with his beam rifle. I saw this from my five years old cousin.

Real heroes don't whine.

its so much easier to kill him with the shotgun that one of the brutes drop at the beginning, it kills in 5 - 8 shots depending on difficulty

Carbine + Shotgun does the trick.

Don't use the Carbine on him of course, save it for the brutes.

I was able to beat him and used a multitude of weapons. I used a Carbine and Sword. When the carbine ran out I dual wielded either a reg. Plasma rifle and a Brute PR or two Brute PR. It was going great until I broke off to fight a couple of Brutes and one fired a shotgun round into my face. Then I got killed by Johnson when I respawned. But I was able to win using mainly the carbine.

How do you get the wraith into the control room in order to fight Tartarus with it?

Do you know where to fly the Banshee so it triggers the cutscene? You have to drive the Wraith around the back of the Control Room and get it onto the part where the beam of light shoots out (the Wraith wheelie is necessary; just boost while holding back and A). Then slowly back up towards the Control Room until the cutscene triggers. If you're still confused, then you can search for a video at High Impact Halo.

My way

Inventory: Sword
Carbine

Stay as far away from him as possible, the further the better, wait until his sheidls are down, hammer him with the Carbine, after his shields are back up head for the top. Throw any grenades that you can at the area where the brutes come out, and alot of the time they'll jump off the edge. =) After the remaining ones come back, engage acto camo, either use sword or carbine for assassinations, assassinate one, then head for the top floor immediately, recharge acto camo, repeat. Slow, but works great.

Pretty much the same strategy as your's, cept mine involves carbines and grenades.

I was killing tartarus but at the start he fell off the platform and was waving his hammer at me from the sloped ledge below.

I work at Microsoft. I have nothing to do with Halo and nothing I say is "the official word".

Or you can do it however you want...
I prefer a sniper rifle anyway, because I'm *never* without my sniper rifle
