Halopedia has a walkthrough guide for this level; see Shield World (level)/Walkthrough. |
Shield World is the tenth level of Halo Wars [1]. The level is set on the same planet as the previous mission, against the Flood. The main mission is to rescue three different teams by killing all the flood in the way between the firebase and the units. Team Alpha reward you with a Grizzly tank, Team Bravo reward you with an Elephant, and team Charlie will reward you with three Spartans. you can rescue them in any order but when you try to rescue the last group the pelican is destroyed. The remaining units say they'll make their way to the base to be picked up there. The normal time limit is 18 minutes, but a side mission which gives you access to the special Gremlin unit that involves placing Gremlins in different corners of the map will buy you more time (About 22 minutes for all four of them.)
Objectives
- Clear Evacuation Flight Paths.
- Get Charlie Platoon to the Landing Zone.
Optional Objectives
- Place Gremlin at Pylon (4).
- Kill 350 Swarms (This will unlock the level's skull).
Transcript
Cutscene opens on the Apex, a Spirit dropship, drops off its passengers and departs. Anders is seen in some kind of stasis beam, Regret and the Arbiter approach her.
Regret: This is her?
Arbiter: Yes, Hierarch this is the one I observed.
Regret:(with false concern) Such a frail thing. You would hardly think them a threat.
Anders: I demand to know why I'm being held!
Arbiter: (laughing) Demand?
Zealot: Arbiter, a Human ship has arrived and is closing in on the entrance portal-
The Arbiter strikes the Zealot, sending him flying across the platform
Arbiter: Get the Hierarch to High Charity! Intercept that human ship and destroy it at once!
The Arbiter walks off, Regret departs with his Honor Guards. Cutscene fades to the Spirit of Fire's location, over an ocean.
Forge: Nothing but ocean.
Cutter: Are you sure this is it, Serina?
Serina: Fairly sure, initiating a deep scan. Docking, Cleansing? That's not right. Captain, you are not going to like this.
The ocean below suddenly splits in two
Cutter: Serina...
Forge: Captain, we've got company!
Several Sentinels approach the Spirit of Fire, and fly around it for a moment, the Spirit of Fire is drawn into a docking and decontamination mechanism within the planet.
Cutter: All hands engage! Serina, I've got troops out there still! Get them back on board now!
Serina: Captain, I can only hold this position a few minutes at the most.
Cutter: Now Serina!

Serina: Captain, those pylons down there, are generating the field we're in.
