Go through the level until you get out of the caverns, walk up the big slope and reach another canyon with a giant pillar in the middle. Walk inside it and you should see a [[Stealth Sangheili]]. When it notices you, run out and it will follow you. Sometimes the Elite will run straight outside if there is a ghost there (if the player brings one from the first part of the level, the one parked outside by default will not attract it). The Elite will get into the ghost and will try to shoot and ram the player. If the player manages to tip over the ghost, the Elite will fall out and will have no weapon and will not even move or react to the player, unless | Go through the level until you get out of the caverns, walk up the big slope and reach another canyon with a giant pillar in the middle.

The Elite operator will not take any damage and when he gets off the turret, he will have no weapon. If you stick him with a plasma grenade, he will take out an Energy Sword and usually die. If the Thunderstorm and Mythic skulls are turned on and you stick him with a plasma grenade, it is very likely that he will survive. An easier way to have the weaponless Elite is to destroy the Phantom by rapidly firing your [[Fuel Rod Gun]] in the engines, however, the weaponless Elite has depleted shields, and the Arbiter will die. If you betray your allies, he will attempt to melee you with his fist and his melee does damage. | ||
