I just completed The Library on Legendary. I made it through, only died a few times. The trick is to keep them in front of you. Don't get flanked. Even if it means running back where you came from. The Flood will keep your ammo in stock as you mow them down. Just be patient. My weapons of choice, shotgun and pistol. Use the shotgun when close, pistol when far - simple. The pistol is also effective on the little sucky things; one well placed shot takes out a bunch. You can corral them into a group and then let them have it.

Hope this helps.

The only thing I ever had problems with on single player was the fact that you constantly ran out of shotgun ammo when there were carrier forms around, you'd shoot them, and they'd send everything nearby flying every which-way.

The other thing I did, run. A lot. Half the time I just completely bypassed large groups of flood and kept on running to the next safe area.

I use the pistol, two shots kills a flood carrier form without using precios shotgun ammo.

I beat it on Legendary by myself. Note: It took me many lives(about 25) and a couple of hours. I haven't done it since.

I have beaten the Library on Legendary by myself. I only died five times. One was self induced. I used the Pistol and the shotgun. I found that this was the easiest level to beat on Legendary.

I have beaten Library on legendary by myself, can't remember how many times i usually die but its less than 10. shotgun and pistol works the best and frag grenades. i don't think its the easiest level to do on legendary though, probably the maw or silent cartographer

Keep going, there is many places in the level , where flood spawn indefinitly, this is why sometimes people run out of shells. If you need any trick for legendary I recommand you to read this section of bungie.net site.

Keep going?!? if you do that there will be too many, you will be hunted down and die. well on the last floor anyway. probably not bad advice for the earlier floors but i prefer them all dead so theres little worries

it wasnt really hard, just use the shotgun and assault rifle, the rifle works wonders with the infections, and the shotguns take care of the rest, except carrier, just let them come near you when they drop run away and clean up with assault rifle. also, use grenades on the infectious forms. that helps alot too. good luck

Near the end, u get trapped between two doors and fight like a gazzilion flood. U definitly want the rocket and shotgun. I was playin co op for fun and my idiot friend kept on dieing, so i would be blastin the flood away then all of a sudden "smack smakc smack Boom" from shotgun and id be dead. Look over, my friends sitting there not even bothering to tell me hes dead (very short attention span, doesnt even notice when reload flashes or thinks to use nades :(

Five Tenets of Bungie.net Forum Life:
1. Trolls will always be well fed.
2. Blame-ability thy name is stosh.
3. Bungie has no control over retail prices.
4. Watch out for low-flying defense drones.
5. Seven is not optional, but rather, an inevitability.

I've beaten the Library on Legendary. Needler, Shotgun, Pistol, and Plasma Pisto/Rifle can be your best friends on that level.

i have beaten the Library on legendary. Personally i thought T & R was harder.......damn jackals. I died less than 10 times i think, thanks to my good friend the hippo.


(hippo = shotgun shell, easter egg)

I beat it on legendary, but without a shotgun it would be sooooo hard. I died around ten times.

I beat it on Legendary with the shotgun and I think the AR. It wasn't too hard. Just endless.

oh my gosh N00B. i am SO sick of you people saying levels are hard. its SO easy if you have a brain. look.

-go forward until they appear on your motion tracker,then get around a corner,pop your head out and pop all the carrier flood with a pistol. then the combat flood will run around your corner,just hit them with a shotgun until they stop coming. do this until they stop appearing on your motion tracker. sometimes you'll have to fight like 10 waves of them. but you wont get hurt.

simple huh? i made a guide for all the levels. no one responded.... its the topic named "legendary stratagies". its great.

P.S. there are NO places on the level where they respawn endlessly-there are just TONS of waves

i found the library on legendary to be fairly easy, except for one of the rooms where you get trapped in between two doors and the vents start pissing flood. apart from that room i only had about two deaths on the level, but in that room i had at least ten. stupid room...

*goes off and mutters incoherently*

*comes back after having a drink of water and a power nap*

but anyhow, i suggest you use the shottie and pistol, great combo against the flood. and also, you can't rely on sentinels like you could on the other difficulties because they will die in about ten seconds if you just sit back and let them kill the flood.
