Please note that when the [[Scarab]] walks around, the entire vehicle will swing back and forth between steps. This observation is pretty crucial to the trick.

* Destroy the three [[Wraith]] tanks that the [[Scarab]] is targetting and make sure the [[Scarab]] will start moving, after the tanks are destroyed. If not, check the area if there are more enemies hampering the [[Scarab]]'s way.

* When the [[Scarab]] starts moving, set the [[Banshee]] down on Johnson's [[Scarab]] and ride the [[Scarab]] until it reaches the middle of the canyon, with the huge rocks in the center. Jump off the [[Scarab]] and make sure you land on a slope of the rock, in the middle of the canyon, so that you survive the fall.

* The game will still think that you are on top of the [[Scarab]], even if you are on the canyon floor, because you weren't meant to survive the fall on top of the [[Scarab]]. You will continue to sway and swing around the canyon floor along with the [[Scarab]].

* After you are on the canyon floor, you're survival is not guaranteed, for [[Brute]]-controlled [[Ghosts]] and [[Spectre]]s with attack you, while you have little control of the [[Arbiter]] in his "swinging mode". If you wish to exit the "swinging mode", you are recommended to revert to the last checkpoint, because commiting suicide with grenades is futile. This is because if you pitch the grenade while are you swinging, you may not even hit yourself with the grenade.
