The easiest way is to pull the cord out of the back of your router, count to 3, then plug it back in. That way you have a free shot at him while hes in BS

(10:19:49 PM) Scruss: oh and pezza, i saw what you did to that cat
(10:20:17 PM) Pezza: You were the one with the video camera breathing heavily. Of course you saw.

Its damn easy without a Banshee, first time i finished it on legendary was without the banshee.

Edit: After playing through all of Legendary it wasn't to hard to do so.

Wait . . . How the heck did you guys get all of those vehicles in there? The door is tiny! I mean, Jesus! You have to blow the wings off of the banshee to get it in there!

getting the Banshee in is pretty simple, just find a video of YouTube of google vids like "tartarus on legendary with banshee". The spectre and wraith i don't have an answer to.
click here for a good video about the banshee

I've already said how to get the Wraith in. I guess I could be a bit more descriptive, though:

Drive through the water to the land to the left of the Control Room. Drive around to the back and pass under the beam structure in the very back where you get Blackeye skull. To the right should be a slanted are of the CR that you can use the Wraith wheelie (hold left stick back and press A while boosting) to get onto, although it's a bit difficult. Try going up at an angle. Once you drive up and get to the flat area, use the wheelie again to get over the raised platform and then slowly drop down the side opposite the side you drove up. You should land on a ledge below. Go left along the CR wall and there should be a structure to the right with a beam of light coming out of it aimed at the CR. Boost over to the spot where the light shoots out. Then slowly back up towards the CR until the cutscene triggers. After the cutscene, turn around and go back into the hallway and the Wraith should be up against the wall. Shoot the four little "wings" off of it and use the wheelie at an angle to get through the doorway into the fight room.

The Banshee is easy to get in. Either fly over to the area where you get the Wraith in (although it doesn't always work with Banshee) or just fly into the CR through the front door and then fly up over the wreckage and through the next room.

Nah, this is the best way, it's how I always do it.

At the very beginning of the fight, where no one has yet jumped to the main platform, kill all the brutes and pick up the shotgun. One of the brutes guarding Tartarus always drops a shotgun, or at least 95% of the time.

Use that and a Carbine. You can find one easy enough on the platform.

Wait for Sarge to shoot Tartarus with the beam rifle, lowering his shields. Get close and give him one shotgun blast. Repeat.

When brutes spawn and come at the platform, just ride the center beam up to the top, and pile on the headshots with the carbine. One shot to knock off their helmet, one shot to brain them. When the brutes are dead, find Tartarus, lure him close to Sarge, and keep going. Use the Shotgun ONLY on Tartarus and whatever else on the supporting brutes. You should have plenty of shots.

carbine isn't strong or fast enough from my experience and close range on mohawk is risky even though i kill the brutes with a sword
but a weird thing i heard was some ppl use only carbines and kill mohawk that way...crazy + a crapload of ammo
