| '''Cavalier''' is an [[achievement]] in ''[[Halo 3]]'' and ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]''. It is unlocked by beating the par score on the level [[Tsavo Highway]]. The achievement is worth 10 [[Gamerscore]]. It is represented by a blue circle with a winged sword, also known as the Valkyrie emblem, in the original game and a screenshot of [[Epitaph]] in the collection. | | '''Cavalier''' is a [[Halo 3]] [[Meta-game]] [[achievement]]. It is earned when the player earns 15,000 points while playing the Meta-game on [[Tsavo Highway (Level)|Tsavo Highway]]. This achievement is worth ten [[Gamerpoint]]s to the player. A cavalier is a mounted soldier, and most of the level takes place in [[vehicle]]s, which the player "mounts". |

|
| The par score for Tsavo Highway is 15,000 points in ''Halo 3'' and 21,000 points in ''The Master Chief Collection''; the difference is due to the fact that the two games feature different [[campaign scoring]] formulae. Though the achievement can theoretically be unlocked on any difficulty, more points are awarded in campaign scoring when playing on higher difficulties.
| | A blue circle with a winged sword, also known as the Valkyrie emblem, represents this achievement. |
|
| |
|
| In the original game, players must achieve the par score individually, even when playing [[Cooperative play|cooperatively]]; in ''The Master Chief Collection'' cooperative players share a single score, potentially making the achievement much easier.

| *Turn on the [[Halo 2 skulls#Thunderstorm|Thunderstorm]], [[Halo 2 skulls#Famine|Famine]] and [[Halo 3 skulls|Fog]] [[Skull]]. These are probably the three easiest Skulls. '''Warning: ''' whatever you do, '''do not''' turn on the [[Catch]] Skull because on Tsavo Highway, there are many [[Unggoy|Grunts]] along the road and they will be randomly throwing [[Grenade]]s at your vehicle the tactic basically being: out of all the grenades they spam at the enemy, at least ''some'' of them '''will''' hit. With Thunderstorm on, the effect will be worse as the newly-promoted [[Unggoy Ultra|Grunt Ultras]] will pull a lemming and kamikaze run at you. It is important that you have a [[Barukaza Workshop Chopper|Brute Chopper]] with you as well, as it is probably the sturdiest solo vehicle. The other choice would be the [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|Warthog]], but after a while the [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] die and you won't have a person to man the [[M41 Light Anti-Aircraft Gun|Turret]]. Also, turning on [[Halo 3 skulls#Tough Luck|Tough Luck]] would cause even Grunts to dodge your vehicle when you attempt a splatter. This should most likely be played on [[Heroic]] or [[Normal]], depending on your skill.

| | Another way is to get in the [[Transport Warthog]]. Arm [[Marine]]s with heavy weapons, such as the [[Fuel Rod Gun]]. Every chance you get a Fuel Rod Gun, give it to a Marine, they'll have unlimited ammo, and it's possible to get all of the Marines armed with Fuel Rods. The rest will run smoothly. |

| | ==Trivia== |
|
| |
|
| *In ''The Master Chief Collection'' players can earn significant points by destroying unoccupied Covenant vehicles as the game does not differentiate between piloted and empty vehicles; ''Halo 3'' is the only game in the collection with this campaign scoring quirk. | | *Cavaliers were Royalist horse riders during the English Civil War. More recently, the term means a "devil-may-care" attitude. The award is called "Cavalier" because most of it is vehicular combat. |
