For the next area you'll want to be quick. Follow the path up and around. You should see a couple of Deployable Covers here. Grab one and make your way to the large opening in the wall, leading outside the High Charity. There are many Combat Forms here as well as [[Flood Stalker Form|Stalker Forms]] that like to become Ranged Forms. Load up on ammunition here at the [[Pelican]] and get ready to move. You can grab the [[M7057/Defoliant Projector|Flamethrower]] here. It can be a great help on lower difficulties, but on Legendary difficulty it is best to leave it: you will probably end up getting killed by burning Flood forms. From here you have a choice, you can set up your Deployable Cover and shoot out the Combat and Ranged forms, or you can run past them. You're going to need as much ammunition as possible, so while you could clean out this area (and if you're playing the [[Campaign Scoring|Meta-Game]] for points you should) you're much better off just running back inside, going to the left, and making your way to the porta and to the next area. The Flood will not follow you once the porta closes. | For the next area you'll want to be quick. Follow the path up and around. You should see a couple of Deployable Covers here.

The room behind the porta contains a small slope and several Infection Forms. The chamber is filled with dead [[Sangheili|Elites]] and [[Jiralhanae|Brutes]], as well as some grenades. You can throw a grenade to set off a chain reaction and weaken or kill any Flood that re-animates. Finish the Flood off with the Energy Sword. In the next tunnel, grab either a [[Type-2 Energy Weapon/Hammer|Gravity Hammer]] (good for clearing away Flood if you get surrounded) or a new Energy Sword (usually the best choice), and then drop through the hole to continue. | The room behind the porta contains a small slope and several Infection Forms.

Once you're through the hole run forward and set up your Deployable Cover | Once you're through the hole, run forward and set up your Deployable Cover. You can shoot through it with your Assault Rifle, and it will provide you with excellent cover from the Ranged Forms. Draw in the Combat and [[Flood Tank Form|Tank Forms]] and finish them off with the Energy Sword (remember to lunge at their "mouths"). Once you're down to just Ranged Forms use your Assault Rifle to clear out a path. Run to the right side of the room. From there you should have a good cover and a perch from which you can finish off any remaining Ranged Forms on the ceiling. Switch to your Energy Sword and finish off any remaining Ranged or Tank Forms that may be present on the ground. Now go back to your Deployable Cover at the entrance of the room. When you look to the left of the place where you dropped the cover you will see a Covenant weapons case with a [[Type-33 Guided Munitions Launcher|Needler]] inside. Swap your Assault Rifle for the Needler, then head underneath the platform. Here you can grab a couple Incendiary Grenades, another Deployable Cover, and load up your Needler. The Cortana [[Terminals|terminal]] is also located here. | ||
Go forward again around the corner | Go forward again, around the corner. You will run into two Carrier Forms. Stick the first one with a grenade and let it explode. Don't stick the second Form right away. If you do you will probably end up popping some Growth Pods. Lure the Carrier Form forward and stick a grenade on it at the place where you did so with the first Carrier Form. Take out your Needler and edge forward. Use the Needler in the next long corridor to take out the Ranged Forms. It takes the better part of a caddy to kill them, but it's incredibly fast and effective so it's worth the waste. Run back to the room where the Cortana terminal is to reload the Needler if you need, then head forward again. You will trigger several Combat Forms including several shielded ones. Use what's left of your Needler to take down their shields and finish them off with the Energy Sword. A Bubble Shield is extraordinarily effective here because the Combat Forms won't be able to fire at you, forcing them to move into melee range. Once they're in range of your Energy Sword, they're dead. Once you've cleared the area head back to the Cortana terminal room again and grab a [[Type-51 Carbine|Carbine]], a new Energy Sword and the Cloaking equipment. Head forward to the next porta and get ready for another long fight. | ||
