Moving along you'll see two Grunts at the other end of the upcoming tunnel. Zoom in and kill them. Move up to where they were standing and take out the Jackal nearby with a few shots to his vulnerable spots with your Pistol. Toss your Shotgun (remember where it is of course) and pick up the Needlers dropped by the two Grunts. Stay out of the range of the two Elites ahead and unload your Needler on them. A few magazines later they should be toast. Now you should go retrieve your Sniper Rifle. Pick it up; toss your Needler and head back down to the bottom floor of the pyramid. Part way down the last ramp you will get a checkpoint, so take a moment before you trigger it to make sure you're set. Run back to the ammo stash if you're running low on rounds for your Pistol or Shotgun. And if you want you can move your Shotgun to the top of the ramp to make it more accessible later. Once you're ready, move ahead. | Moving along you'll see two Grunts at the other end of the upcoming tunnel. Zoom in and kill them.

After the checkpoint, get your Sniper Rifle out and zoom in on the Banshee ahead of you. As you move past the piece of debris the next group of Covenant will appear. An Elite will come running out from behind the Banshee, so put a couple of sniper rounds through him when you see him. It is possible to kill the Elite with your Pistol on [[Legendary]], but it requires all rounds to hit him. Switch back to your Pistol and look for Grunts and Jackals to snipe at.

It is possible to kill the Elite with your Pistol on [[Legendary]], but it requires all rounds to hit him. Switch back to your Pistol and look for Grunts and Jackals to snipe at. The [[Type-26 Wraith|Wraith]] will start lobbing mortars soon, so move into the shelter of the tunnel once things get too hot. From the tunnel you can peek out both sides and snipe most of the Covenant in the area. Use your Pistol to clear out the Grunts and Jackals, and then switch to your Sniper Rifle for the Elites. Be patient here, as sniping the [[Gold Zealot Elite]] will save you a lot of grief. Kill the Zealot and waste as many Elites as possible. Once you've emptied your Sniper Rifle and gone through a few Pistol magazines, there should only be a few Elites left. Now it's time to put the smack down on that Wraith. You've probably noticed that [[M19 SSM Rocket Launcher|Rocket Launcher]] by now. Go toss your rifle and pick it up along with an extra magazine of rockets to top it off. Be careful not to grab the [[health pack]] unless you really need it. Put those rockets to good use. Move through the tunnel and target the Wraith. Wait until it stops moving then fire. Keep watching for a moment to confirm you actually hit it then duck back into the tunnel away from the mortar shells. Three rockets will finish it off, but I recommend only hitting it twice. Instead of that last rocket, empty a couple of magazines of Pistol ammo into the tank. You will be filling up on Pistol ammo soon, so this saves you a rocket. Once the Wraith is destroyed, you can go back and grab the extra magazine of rockets. If you didn't miss, you should now have a full rocket launcher. Retrieve your Shotgun and switch it out for your Rocket Launcher. | ||
Now we have to deal with the last few Elites. Make sure there are only Elites left. Snipe any remaining Jackals or Grunts. The Elites have all probably migrated to the side of the pyramid where the Wraith was and where you probably are now. If not, harass them until they're all on that side. Now quickly run into the tunnel and drop down on the far side. Run up to the left wall and turn right so you're facing the back of the canyon. Run along the wall and hope the Elites don't see you. Once you've run all the way to the ice flow, turn around and head to the other side of the pyramid. Run up behind the Banshee, hop in, and fly away from those Elites as fast as your anti-grav pods will carry you. Hover over them at a safe height and pound them into the dirt with your [[Fuel Rod Gun]]. | Now we have to deal with the last few Elites. Make sure there are only Elites left.

Go up the ramp—you will find out why the fights were so tough; you didn't have your [[M6D Pistol]]. Grab the [[Sniper Rifle System 99C-S2 Anti-Matériel|sniper]] as well. It hardly has any ammo, but you can return and grab another weapon once you deplete it. Problem solved, now go down the tower the way you came up. You may wish to peek over the edge first and lighten the resistance from above, but if you jump down, you will be ambushed. When you encounter a squad, try to stick the [[Sangheili|Elite]] and [[headshot]] the [[Unggoy|Grunts]]. If your grenade misses, it will still take out most of the Elite's shields. | Go up the ramp—you will find out why the fights were so tough; you didn't have your [[M6D Pistol]].

There will be a few Jackals and a whole squad of Elites, including a [[Zealot]]. Snipe the lower-ranked of the Elites, using what ammo you have, then swap it for the [[M19 SSM Rocket Launcher|Rocket Launcher]] on the path to your left. Avoid the health pack unless you have only one bar left. Deal with the remaining Elites, using a combination of pistol and grenades. You may use rockets, but save at least four for the Wraith. | ||
Take it down, then swap your nearly-empty Rocker Launcher for the shotgun. The waiting [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshee]] will allow you to reach the top far more quickly. Go to the platform indicated by the nav point. Be ready for an Elite and two Grunts—nail them with fuel rods. Land on the platform and go inside. See that core in the center? Walk right next to it, then run back to the platform. You will have no shield, so strafe to minimize damage taken. | Take it down, then swap your nearly-empty Rocker Launcher for the shotgun.

Fly to the bridge, but stay at least 40 meters above it because you will encounter [[Special Operations Elite]]s, similarly ranked [[Special Operations Grunt|Grunts]], and a few Jackals. Pound them with bombs, but don't hover—a single hit from a Grunt's [[Type-33 Light Anti-Armor Weapon|Fuel Rod Gun]] will total your Banshee, and the Elites are very accurate. Instead, circle around until they are all dead. Then land and go through the doors on the right (looking from the control room). | ||
You will encounter a Grunt; shoot him in the head with your Pistol. Then drop your shotgun for the Grunt's Plasma Pistol and use the [[Noob Combo]] on the Elites. Alternatively, you may use grenades. Swap your Plasma Pistol for a Needler, sneak up to the door, and blow up the Elites. Headshot the Jackals and the Grunts. Grab your shotgun again. | You will encounter a Grunt; shoot him in the head with your Pistol. Then drop your shotgun for the Grunt's Plasma Pistol and use the [[Noob Combo]] on the Elites.
