This next area, though, can be pretty tricky. There are five or so sniper [[Kig-yar|Jackal]]s inhabiting the area, not to mention another group which will show up a bit further on. The safest idea is that when you exit the door, stop and look around for a [[Type-50 particle beam rifle]], outside the exit to the right. Take out the snipers and then start working on any [[Elite]]s you happen to see.

Keep going and you'll run into a number of [[Unggoy|Grunt]]s and [[Sangheili|Elite]]s guarding a bridge. If you've taken out all the snipers it shouldn't be ''TOO'' difficult. If you haven't taken them all out, however, expect to have a [[Type-50 particle beam rifle]] shot at you, so be sure to double-check the area before engaging. When you get to the far side, there will be one [[Sangheili|Elite]] Minor in the outer wrap-around hallway, then a room full of [[Unggoy|Grunt]]s and [[Kig-yar|Jackal]]s all armed with Plasma Pistols; it's not hard to kill them all if you stun them with one shot and melee them to death (to save precious ammo). If you are using a [[Carbine]] or want a Carbine at this point, there's a pile of blocks semi-blocking a walkway outside. You can jump on and crouch-walk-through, and there are two Carbines (pick up one and snag the ammo of the other) and two [[Plasma Grenades]] if you're running low.  

Hold on to your [[Type-50 particle beam rifle]]; there are many sniper [[Kig-yar|Jackal]]s and some [[Sangheili|Elite]]s in the next area, but they are next to an opening, so they don't have a lot of cover. Take out some of the snipers and one of the Elites (likely a Major) from the cover of the pillars just outside the Jackal-Grunt room, then close in and just melee the rest of the sniper Jackals and kill the Elite Minor (sticking is recommended, it's really easy to). Switch your [[Type-50 particle beam rifle]] for one with more charge and head back through the doorway where you entered the open area. In a second, a [[Phantom]] will pull up and drop off two [[Hunter]]s. However, with your new [[Type-50 particle beam rifle]], you should be able to put out two shots before they react. You can either choose to kill one of them or wound both.

Once everything in the room except you (and hopefully a [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] or two) is dead you should walk up the ramps to the top of the room. On the platform outside there is an [[unggoy]] and a [[Fuel rod gun]], good for later. An elevator thing will show up with some foolish [[Kig-yar]] inside. {{Pattern|Anskum|plasma grenade}} time! (Or instead if you don't have a {{Pattern|Anskum|plasma grenade}} or want to conserve some, a glitch allows you to shoot through the window on top of the elevator, so use your [[carbine]] or [[battle rifle]] to headshot the [[Kig-yar]] inside) Once the elevator is clear (or strewn with Kig-yar corpses, as the case may be), drop the shotgun in favor of a [[battle rifle]], then step on in. We're going down.

Whew. Moving on, enter the elevator and head on the next leg of your journey. At the end of the ride is a foolish [[Honor Guard]] patrolling in the other direction. Bop him in the back and kill him dead. Another Honor Guard, this one with a {{Pattern|Okarda'phaa|plasma rifle}}, leads a Lance down the next hall, so take them out with sword and grenades. Next, we'll be back outside, facing four [[Drones]], three or four [[Kig-yar|Jackal]]s and two Elites. Be sure to snipe the Drones first. I don't know why, but the Elites and Jackals will often retreat once the Drones fall. At that point, take out anybody still visible with the sniper before moving in with the sword and chopping them up.

Soon, the other gondola will show up, heading the other way. There are two [[ranger Elite]]s and four [[Grunt]]s here. Two of the Grunts have [[fuel rod guns]], so I'd suggest boarding the other gondola, using the rocket launcher's remaining ammo to clear a path, and close with the [[fuel rod gun]]s Grunts before they can deal much damage. If you did this in vidmaster-perfect style, you should have gotten one or both Rangers confused enough that they're just sitting and staring at nothing—easy targets for a skilled sniper like yourself.

As you approach the temple, you should probably get rid of the rocket launcher, empty or not, and pick up a carbine or [[battle rifle]]—whichever you have more ammo for. There are a couple of [[Grunt]]s mounting a defense outside the temple. Slaughter them, and they'll panic and run. However, they will soon return, having enlisted the aid of two [[Elite]]s, two turret [[Grunt]]s, and two [[Kig-yar|Jackal]]s. Use this battle well, as the fun is pretty much over for now.

"At first glance, it seems that the [[San'Shyuum|Prophet]] plagues us with the very same elements of [[Boss (gameplay)|video-game-boss cheesiness]] as the heretic leader (for all the good that it did him):

*Improbable avenues of movement. Like most high-ranking video game bosses, the [[San'Shyuum|Prophet]] has the ability to teleport at will. Apparently he didn't read the manual for his chair very carefully, or it just didn't occur to him to teleport up to the ceiling where you couldn't reach him.

It then hit me! Nothing can penetrate his immensely resilient force field. Other than the fact that once you jump on him you have the advantage of striking him with your melee attacks. So what to do? Well, it is quite simple; you throw a {{Pattern|Anskum|plasma grenade}} or a [[Fragmentation Grenade]] on him a split second before you board his throne. Picture it like this, your throwing arm penetrating his force field before you throw the grenades, with this objective the grenades will land or stay inside his force field. Therefore it is important that you throw the grenades inside his force field before you are unable to do so when you board. Remember that our [[John-117|Master Chief]] cannot throw or use his weapons when he has actually boarded the throne. Adversely if you throw them too early they will not stick or stay inside the force field. Or as in the [[fragmentation grenade]]s case they’ll simply rebound off his force field, thus musing the already contempt [[Prophet of Regret]]. At other times, if you are unlucky the {{Pattern|Anskum|plasma grenade}}s will also bounce, though feebly off his force field and may end up adhering to you instead, a big no-no to avoid. So you MUST throw the grenades a split second before you latch onto his throne and not a moment too soon.  

Don’t worry about getting killed or damaged by the {{Pattern|Anskum|plasma grenade}} since the explosion occurs inside of his force field. It will not harm our [[John-117|Master Chief]]. Just be sure to throw the grenade before you press and hold on to the ‘X’ button with which to board his throne. If he is at a higher elevation than you are at, then all you need to do is press the 'A' button, throw the grenade and then board him. This is simply a brilliant tactic on Bungie’s forward thinking. You will need to do this about six times to finish him off entirely or maybe more if your grenades do not fall inside his force field. Use your EARS to listen and to home in on the direction he’ll spawn to next. It’ll guarantee and reward your efforts with a far better success rate. Your radar is your best friend in these given circumstances, as the battles to follow are hectic to outwit.  

Lastly, don’t forget to PATIENTLY take out the re-spawning [[Honor Guard]]s as well as the [[Grunt]]s who’ll make certain of your efforts being anything but a success. Take them out before engaging the [[Prophet of Regret]]. The best way of doing this is to run back up the side ramps and look out for them on the top level. Check your radar as well if you cannot see them from this higher elevated vantage point. And lastly don’t forget to MOVE! Otherwise the pesky but cute little [[grunt]]s will find you an easy target for {{Pattern|Anskum|plasma grenade}} shelling."
