Go up the stairs to the left, and come to a door where a Marine will be waiting. Take his SMG if you don't have one.
Go up the stairs to the left, and come to a door where a Marine will be waiting to escort you.  
Go up the stairs, onto a water channel.
Go up the stairs, onto a large water channel.
There is a large amount of weapons here, including too many Rocket Packs to count, and Sniper Rifles.
There is a large amount of weapons here, including too many Rocket Packs to count, Sniper Rifles, and about thirty BR packs.
Run forwards to the bridge in front of you, grabbing the nearby RL ammo in stride. As the Scarab goes underneath the bridge jump on.
 
Use your Rocket Launcher and Grenades to wipe out the first wave of troops. There are a couple of Minor Elites, Grunts and Jackals.
Generally the safest strategy is to launch rockets at the infantry platform from the walkway. Use the Battle Rifle too if necessary. Use it for Grunts or unshielded Elites. Multiple waves of troops will emerge from the depths of the Scarab, and they are as follows:
 
First there are a couple of Minor Elites, Grunts and Jackals.


Next a group of snipers will emerge, accompanied by mixed Covenant.

The most deadly wave is to come now.

Nearly five Major Elites will emerge. Most have dual Plasma Rifles. Use the Rocket Launcher wisely in this bit. Plasma Grenades are useful too.

If the RL runs out, switch to the SMG.
Watch out for the plasma shots that they will fire at you on the walkway.


Majors dead? Good.  
Majors dead? Good.  
Go down into the depths of the Scarab, with an SMG and Plasma Pistol.
Use the SMG to kill off the pair of Ultra Grunts stationed down there, then overcharge your pistol and fire it at the Ultra Elite, then use the SMG to take him out.
Take out the pair of Major Elites, and the level is finished!


The Scarab will come to the edge of a large dam, and won't be able to continue. This is your chance.
Run to the end of the walkway, and grab the turret. Kill off any remaining Covenant, launch a few remaining rockets, then swap the Launcher for one of the nearby Shotguns leaning against the wall.
Leap down onto the Scarab, kicking through the Covenant bodies, and jump down the ramp into the cockpit.
Pick off a pair of Ultra Grunts with the Battle Rifle, and fire at the Ultra Elite that will emerge.
Be careful with this guy. He can fire his Plasma Rifle with great speed and accuracy, but if you piss him off he will pull out a Sword. Use the shotgun to kill him if he gets too cloes, kill the Majors, and the level is finished!
