My quick question, do you need to complete the game 💯 in order for any end cutscene, I'm currently doing my legendary playthrough as my first run, n am genuinely curious if it matter? If it doesn't then I'm currently about 47% done n it's definitely not the hardest one, atleast for me, halo 2 still takes that cake but I did it. :)
@@JulianLares I’ve finished it on Legendary 100% and LASO, two week advantage doesn’t really matter that much. Though this is one of the easier LASOs I’ve tried since Bandanna skull replaced the Iron skull.
Escharum's 2nd phase was easily the hardest legendary fight for me. Those !!HAMMER LUNGES!! left me grappling around for so long, until I could get shots on him through the outer hallways. Felt as if he was breathing down the back of my neck, finding myself physically tucking my butt forward as he chased me down. Hearing the hammer smack behind me would give me a heart attack every time. The dialogue after his death was my favorite in the entire campaign though and well worth the fight. Chief honoring him as someone just trying to do what he sought right.
Yeah, I would grapple away and have to *immediately* combo in two thrusts because I could see him RIGHT behind me on the motion tracker after my grapple. Dude was a warrior, no doubt. Respect deserved.
That was by far my favorite boss fight in the game because of how much advanced movement you’re forced to do on legendary. Reminded me of Doom Eternal. Swinging around and bouncing off walls while pumping him full of needles, head tapping him and herring fusion coils at him was such a great time
I actually found good success thrustering towards him, baiting an attack. When you are further away, he will leap at you a football size length, and smack you, usually instant kill. With the way the hammers work, the safest point is either far away, or to the side or behind the user. Whenever I thrust backwards, either I'd miss the timing and get smacked, or I'd be far enough away that he'd go for a lung. Which you can thruster away, but you will be spent on cool downs. The other thing is that the shotgun and sword will stun him more frequently than other weapons. So it was a combo of thruster, sword, shotgun x2, repeat. I'd grapple for either reload or breathing room. Granted it's on Heroic so I don't know Legendary, but I had gotten to frustrated with trying to Spiderman my way around, just for him to either catch up too quickly to fire a gun, or he'd leap at me from across the room.
I love how hard they actually made all of the bosses in this campaign, literally each boss has a unique fighting style that you have to adapt to and outsmart.
Just finished the game on legendary and the guy I struggled with most was Chak Lok. Initially I had just labeled him the "tower guy" I was gonna body with the sword I brought up...
I had problem with the gravity hammer only guy. The thing is I only knew you can upgrade your equipment after I finished the campaign. I face palmed so hard
for the chieftain at the end, once you've killed all the enemies except him, you can cheese him by sitting on the "bridge" things with the ammo boxes and a sentinel beam. he has to walk the long way up so you can jump off the second he gets nearby, wait for him to drop down again and grapple back up. repeat for easy kill.
There is a small overhang over the lower doors along the circular room that I perched on and forced him to use spike nades, he literally stayed under the door so I just unloaded on him.
When I was fighting Escharum on Legendary on his last phase, he got trapped between some boxes and could not move. It could have been an easy fight but, like him, I wanted it to be a legendary fight with honor. So I took him out of the boxes and fought him for 30 min more. What a fight. I was actually happy that it was a difficult fight
I said I was going to bust his monkey balls going into the campaign. In the end, he was the only boss who lasted more than 45 seconds against me... So I gave him a warrior’s death and spared the balls. Then he got back up and Chief gave him the same respect I wanted to. Felt good.
For the fight against the Harbinger. I HIGHLY recommend using the sentinel beams that you can find on the wall. The constant damage prevents her from spawning the electrical balls and when she teleports, she always teleports around you, so just turn around and fire at her immediately. You can melt her shield real quick and instead of using ammo, when her shield is depleted, just melee her and that’ll initiate the next phase/end the fight
20:39 I felt The Road was not insanely difficult "the standard way" on legendary. I died only twice, even all marines survived. I just used the scorpion tank which is available at the beginning of the level. I was just spamming shots from very far away until no hitmarkers were triggered. I even received the "Bring Shiela Home Safely " achievement :D
If anyone is having issues with vehicles on legendary, use the calcine disruptor, its a 4 shot kill on most infantry and like 8 shots for vehicles to emp. Good runs everyone
So there are two brutes in the cliffs above the two red hunters guarding the skull - and the strat I found that worked was grabbing the shock riffles and disrupters from those brutes, which surprisingly took out the red hunters on legendary. That's when I knew the disrupter was OP on legendary.
Trust me its a bitch I dod my first play through on legendary and everything was food up til that point but sentinel beam/cinder shot melts her shield then drop wall os a life savior so is the pullars 😉
When fighting the chieftain during the final boss, if you kill all the enemies you can jump on the lamps between the outer ring floor and he will run under you and only try to throw grenades at you which miss but you can shoot him without moving in that spot
I played through Infinite on legendary for my first playthrough, while i'm happy the most of legendary was balanced, but the spartan hunters (Except for 'Jega, for some reason) gives me intense PTSD from how painful those fights were. This guide would've been INCREDIBLY helpful for past me, but hey; with enough salt and pain you can beat anything!
Legendary felt pretty good, the only major bullshit I encountered was Banished Hunters, because they just WONT FUCKING DIE AAAAAAAAA (and can pretty much instakill you if you don't have cover, from about any range) other than that I didn't die too often unless I actually fucked up, but I was always just at the edge of death. Legendary as it should be, IMO
That’s interesting because I feel like Jega gave me the most PTSD 😂 Loved him as a character but I will NEVER fight him on legendary again. The amount of sweat…
Regular sentinel beam was good too. I remember that it killed litteraly anything I pointed it at plus it had like 900 rounds and after the mission pelican down they're litteraly everywhere or ammo
The blademaster fight was also my favorite, it was the most interactive. I found myself using all of my equipment to take him down and I went into the fight not knowing what I would be up against and had shitty weapons which made the experience very hard.
i know this is a legendary video but on normal i killed him in under 10 seconds with the hardlight grenade launcher and a turret i carried inside. Felt kinda bad about making it so easy
Wish I knew most of these tips when I was doing my playthrough (especially how effective needlers are for hunters), but I feel really good that I was able to overcome the missions with my own strategies
A few things I learnt whilst playing through on heroic that got me through were that... 1. Everytime Jega goes into full camo mode, there's a few shock fusion coils that are at the back left of the top floor that I would pick up then stun him with allowing me to lower his shields before disappearing again. I think there's three so you can do loads of damage whilst he's stunned 2. A single grenade will take out the cores for escharums shield 3. The disruptor works really well against him, basically stuns him into the same position so you can melt him down quickly Don't know if this will help but it worked for me :)
Just beat LASO last night…that Jega/Escharum back to back fight is so brutal. No checkpoint if you don’t kill Jega with a melee… all in all though it was a ton of fun!!
@@pressure_eu228 at first I didn’t think so but after a while, it grew on me. I enjoyed figuring out how to beat sections that felt impossible the first time trying them. You definitely feel a sense of accomplishment after you beat it.
i was playing this on heroic and man the hunters were just destroying me lol, i was sniping them in the knees at times and doing everything i could and did not think the needler would be the way to go, gonna be so easy to deal with them now.
I shot all the ammo from a br into one of their knees from a spot that they wouldn’t shoot back from and they still didn’t die. Definitely some of the hardest hunters in the whole series.
Yea same im so used to the needler being not too effective against them if you cant get a clean shot on their back. It made even just Heroic hunters much harder than they should have been lol. Hopefully legendary hunters will be easier with a needler this time around.
Jumped into legendary right away on this and was surprised at how fair it feels. Sure the enemies track more but the damage feels right and theres not constant instant deaths, even the tremonius fight was hard until i figured out to rip his shields with plasma but not too hard then. One of the best legendary difficulties out of all the Halos.
Agreed. Being able to kill most units without noob combo is much less boring and fair. Sure, sniper jackals are back, and they're good, but they take several seconds to aim - and you see them aiming. It's by no means easy, and I'm dying a lot (picked legendary myself too for first run through), but I don't feel cheated every time I die; usually I'm just being a bit more yolo than I should be haha
@@Gumbi1012 Yeah every time a Sniper Jackal killed me it was because I stood still in the wrong spot or gave him a good angle on me, and the next checkpoint I could adjust and move on. It's not Halo 2 where you get instasniped the frame after you leave cover from 3 angles and get bogged down trying to brute force through it.
I had a different take, I was coming into this off of Doom Eternal and while I’m a literal lifelong halo fan, been there since day one when I was three, I jumped into this playing it like doom and I got my ass kicked a lot😂 but I slid into the game’s design and it might be the best halo game overall
If you want a hilariously easy boss fight with bassus (excavation ), give marines sentinel beam variant and push them into grav lift before boss fight. They will follow you while up there and melt the boss before you can get your gun out. They will also be shooting him during the cutscene which is also hilarious
I beat the game on legendary before watching any tutorials/story videos just so I could experience it without any help. It. Was. FRUSTRATING. 😂 Felt good to beat it tho. Wish I would have gotten that sentinel beam…
for jega i'd recommend piling up all the fusion coils you can find before picking up the audio thing from echo 216 in the middle of the room of the top floor. As soon as he goes invisible and you see the coils move (he goes straight at you) just shoot and and boom he is dead. Honestly its the easiest boss in the game
lol yeah i agree i didnt do that but the first time I ran through him on heroic(idk if this is as good on legendary but ill find out) i brought the machine gun from the lower floor and killed him first try. machine fun spam ftw
You CAN return to the open world after entering the Command Spire by fast travel then when you resume mission you’ll pick up from your last save point. But, you should be picking up spartan cores along the way to have enough to get those necessary upgrades. Do the side missions with a razorback full of arcane sentinel marines. They will fucking melt plasma/scrap cannon chieftans
@@metalwarrior9496 Yep, kind of annoys me honestly. If it was a limited ammo weapon or only available for a short amount of time, or took a ton of effort to get at the least, like the Scarab gun in Halo 2, it wouldn't be a big deal. But this is one of the easiest easter eggs in Halo history and it beats the game for you.
@@221Prohunter if it annoys you don't use it. It's a game, you are supposed to have fun and the developers put it there as a choice. I am doing my legendary run now and not using the scorpion gun and will try laso without it as well. If I find laso waaaaaay too hard, I'll use it lol. No need to die 100 times because I cant see what weapon I'm equipping
The way that you need to act for the Tremonius boss fight instantly reminded me of the start of Halo 2’s Gravemind mission. You need to immediately back up or you’ll get melted.
Nice, now I can finally beat Bassus effectively. I'm playing on Heroic, and was having a blast until this big guy came out of nowhere and started a boss fight. This guy is way too fast and powerful with his attacks, I died like 15 times, one of them I was even close to defeating him, but I couldn't do it. Thanks to your effective tips, I can finally be able to kill this overgrown mandrill.
To anyone stuck on Esharum’s gravity hammer phase, literally just walk backwards around the perimiter of the arena with a needler and precision weapon, thrusting backwards if he jumps at you. Took me forty minutes until I realized this, and made it second try
I just now finished my first play through. And for my first play through I went on legendary and boy was it a good challenge. A really good tip for The Road mission. You can completely skip all the fights by hugging the Left edges. You’ll right into a few brutes but you can grapple by all of them. If you stay on left edges you can completely skip everything and I MEAN EVERYTHING.
For blademaster, I took a machine gun turret into the room with me just for safety and I just stunned him with a dynamo grenade and melted him with the turret in 3 seconds
Granted I didn’t play infinite on legendary first time round (played on heroic) but I found Jega Rdomnai’s boss fight incredibly easy. Save one of the machine gun turrets u find in the level and bring it to the boss fight. Just drop it beneath the hanger and grapple it into your hands. This thing melted him pretty quickly for me and I didn’t have trouble killing him. Also helps because u can kinda shoot and pray if u don’t know where he is to find him. Hope this helps!
I went straight into Legendary and had no idea about these techniques but still made it all the way until the third phase of the final boss fight on Legendary, this video is going to help me out a lot as I had no idea about the Arcane Sentinel Beam and BR combo. Thanks mate.
I definitely got a checkpoint after killing Hyperius but before killing Tovarus. He jumped over into that crashed frigate and I got a save when I grappled up to find him.
@16:10 Thank you so much for this strat. I was pulling my hair out trying to nood combo Hyperius first. I got incredibly lucky that he eventually came up to where Tovarus died and I was able to take him out there as well.
"This mission is frankly impossible to do the standard way on Legendary." Me, who did it the standard way on Legendary: "I'm something of a gamer myself"
*SPOILERS* Thought of a very interesting idea/direction halo infinite could go in. We know Atriox probably wants to use the endless to control time in order to save his home planet and rule well everything. However if Chief finds a way to use the endless he could back in time with help of say Offensive Bias, he could stop the interrogation of the Timeless one preventing the Flood. Chief would hold the Mantle (precursors were right, humanity holding the mantle), Offensive Bias would fulfill his programing (Stopping Mendicant). Chief would have saved Cortana ( stopping the rampancy). The timeless one would obviously have time on his side, and chief would be endless. Literately symbolic of "Infinite" as well as, unstoppable force meets unmovable object
This is probably my favorite campaign yet, the levels feel challenging but fair, the sandbox is great, the open world is amazing, and the bosses are great (except bassus, fuck bassus) Honestly though i dont like the hunters as much, they are WAAY too fast. I NEED the maxed thruster’s camo in order to actually reach their back 99% of the time, and forcing me to use a single weapon or strat for an enemy type is not cool for a game like this. We have all these options for a reason, and yet i dont feel like i really have any options for the hunters, just spam explosives and thrust away from fuel rods. I want to be able to grapple over them and get a couple quick shots on the back, but i cant cus by the time ive turned around, they’re already facing me and charging a shot. I want to bait and kite their melees and get a shotgun blast or melee in but they can turn with their swings and hit me anyway, an even if i thrust around them they still turn to face me unless i have the camo upgrade. The back has always been their main weak point and it just, doesnt feel like its even an option anymore with how quick they are, and how they insist on blasting me at point blank instead of swinging their shield. Then when they finally do swing, there’s no telecasting at all, half the time they get me before i even realize they’re finally going for a melee. Sitting there spamming needles isnt fun, hiding behind a drop wall with a skewer isnt fun. Going for risky moves like getting up close with a sword and thrusting around behind it while it tries to swing at me IS fun and engaging because i actually have to try and time my movements and watch how the hunter comes at me. But in this game when i try that, i get melted by the fuel rod i cant dodge cus hes right in front of me or he insta-kills me with a swift slam of his shield. Theyre just not as fun.
something that might make the hyperius and trovarus fight easier is that ive found that if you have a ghost on semi low health and abandon it near the building you fight tovarus in, you can get hyperius to ride it and one shot him with the rocket launcher in that room. (warning though: ive noticed if you cheese hyperius you dont get a checkpoint so be carefull)
This game is incredibly diverse, not just in the open world, but in its gameplay. for my legendary playthrough, i used a completely different strategy, i was essentially playing it like doom (grapple punching enemies, getting up close and personal with a gravity hammer and shotgun, it felt amazing. i highly recommend that if you want to try playing the game in a unique way, master movement mechanics, the gravity hammers delay, and the chunkiness of the bulldog. give it a try on heroic with killer music and you'll be feeling the doomslayer energy as soon as you hit installation-07. (melee counters and close range dodging are surprisingly effective against elites, it usually blocks their attack and gives you time to react, that's my general pro tip) and thanks experia for the well researched video, i learned about a few mechanics i hadn't quite noticed.
Thanks for the tips this made my play through go a lot smoother. One thing that is a little broken but works well is when you give 5 marines the arcane sentinel beam load them up in a razorback and drive it to a base or any open world place to take down enemies. It goes really well since they don't run out of ammo.
I was having trouble with the last enemy rush on the harbinger fight. But i beat it first try after taking your advice. Running/grappling around the map in a circle really worked.
I just started my first Legendary run last night, and I've got two words for you. Bandana Skull! Ok, I know you'll technically complete it with an asterisk, and purists aren't going to like it, but equipping the bandana skull gives you infinite ammo. I ran through the first mission with the assault rifle and pistol the game started me with. Headshots with the pistol take Brutes down pretty fast (3 or 4 shots), even on Legendary. Once you get out into the open world, grab the "secret" tank gun and you're a full-on war machine. Again... this isn't for the purists who want to beat it with standard weapons, but for anyone who just wants to get through it on Legendary, I highly recommend working through the game on an easier difficulty to grab the skulls, then start your Legendary run with Bandana activated. Oh... and turn on Grunt Birthday, just because it always makes you smile when a Grunt's head explodes into confetti. 😄 Great video, I appreciated the tips on bosses, as I've only faced the first boss on Legendary, so far. BTW, the freeze-frame rocket at 17:26 is awesome! 🤣😂
I completed halo infinite on legendary without knowing any of this, not even de graphing slide thing and it made it a 200% harder but I don’t regret it, it was pretty fun but each boss took me at least 2 to 3 hours 😭
This guide was extremely helpful in a lot of ways for a legit legendary run! I will say some the of the hardest stuff is the last two levels, but it honestly requires a lot of patience. BIG TIP: If you finish the road the normal way, and decided to close the game at any point during the House of Recoking, you are most likely gonna have to fight the Hunters again; not something I see many people mention. Thanks again for this!
Luc been following this guide as I go through my Legendary run. I just beat Hyperius and Tovarus on my first attempt thanks to your strats. The hydra launcher blew up Hyperius's chopper, it was some delicious cheese :)
Great Guide.....Nice One !! Only one thing though.....You can get the Breacher BR from a Fallen UNSC Soldier who's on top of a cliff South of the Tower and North of FOB Foxtrot and it's pretty much always there, so if you're near it and need ammo.....Help yourself !! Just thought I'd mention it.....Keep Up the Great Work !!
for Tavarus in order to cheese it every time shoot the chopper two times with the hydra, reload, THEN hit him with the entire Hydra clip. This will make it so the chopper explodes before the the meltdown animation where Tavarus has time to get out. Great video thanks! That early BR tip helped me a ton.
Thank you. I went into the campaign blind on legendary and so many of these fights were insane, but the Harbinger was just another level of frustrating. When you get one hit killed by her attacks, it’s very difficult to actually learn the fight, so I felt like I was just running into a brick wall every checkpoint. Ended up going to bed but now I have a good guide for the fight. Hopefully I beat it tomorrow
Thank you so much! Got Tovarus down first try and was able to kill Hyperius after a few of deaths. He pulled his chopper broad side to me and I spammed hydra to take his chopper down but got him in the resulting explosion I s’pose. Cheers!
I finished it on legendary, but I did most of it on foot and without help from marines. I did some of these things. But, I just wish I had used all the resources available! I got so ensconced in exploring lol...good video man.
8:22 I dunno about the ghost elite being easy because once you get to him another drop of covenant hit you so you are fighting about 3 ghosts plus elites plus jackals. Also what does the breach BR do? I tried it and it doesn't seem much better than a normal BR but has less ammo.
Great video! Can confirm, just beat Halo Infinite Legendary without upgrading thrusters at all. It's DOABLE, but probably infinitely (pun intended) more annoying without thrusters, cause most things just outpace you if you aren't expert with the grapple and time your shots well enough.
@9:15 I found a breacher BR in a cave under the tower, it's on the south westerns side outside the walls. Just a slightly sooner way of getting one that could help clear the tower mission
You can easily cheese Jega 'Rdomnai. (probably too late posting this and I already beat the game on legendary before watching this). On the left side of the arena as you enter the is a small pit with a wall on the left side of it. (If I'm remembering the layout correctly). If you place your back to this small wall, Jega will come out of stealth in the middle of the room every single time, in the open and with a slight delay before attacking. This completely disabled this phase of the fight. Lets you easily land free shots on him when it appears. Wall and pit can be seen at 22:20 While visible simply do little hops over the pit that's near the mentioned wall. He will jump over it to chase you, you jump back and forth past each other. Its kinda funny, letting you get free shots or melees on him. Rinse and repeat until the Blademaster is dead.
Idk if anyone else knows this but u can get the flex fire sniper on one of the mountain peaks when you get shot down by the AA guns and the upgraded Hydra pursuit hydra on a little island near one of the aa gun
I find that on lower difficulties the drop wall can be a life savory on the fourth upgrade. There have been situations where there’s a chieftain lasering me and I’m in the open, i place down the drop wall and it saves my life.
I went in blind for my first playthrough on Legendary and iv got to say, the fully upgraded Drop Wall is so damn OP. Also died to that damn Chieftain in the final boss more times than any other point in the run. Also with the Spartan Killers i found just flanking the one on the Chopper, hijack him, wait for him to get in the Ghost and ram him for an insta kill. Then use the snipers and skewers on the scrap cannon one haha. Id actually reccomend taking Jega's Bloodblade, you can cheese Esharum in his Grav Ham phase by spamming him with the sword and stun locking him
For the hyperius tovarus fight I found a way that basically gets me to the:you call that a spartan killer? Please, you made that look easy, which is achievable if you'd defeat them within 3 minutes, how I did this you ask? Well, I immediately hacked hyperius from his chopper and ran him over with it, honestly just keep rushing him till you kill him then once he's dead leave the chopper and immediately go for tovarus with anything you got, trust me up close tovarus is actually pretty bad at killing you, then the rest of the units stay far away and pick them off if your really want to
A good tactic for escharum also is a point in where he cant get to you in the 2nd stage. In the middle of the room you have 2 narrow hallways on either side, above those hallways some cables come together in a box. You can grapple onto either box and shoot him from up there. He'll only throw the occasional spike nade, but it doesnt kill you on legendary. Or when you're low, just move to the other side
If your on excavation site, to make your life easier take out the shade turrets before you set the trap, also you can weapon swap some gear scattered around the site to the entrance to give you another edge
For the Jega Rdomnai fight, before picking up the hologram you can place all the fusion coils in the room close but not next to you on the right. You'll see them in the cut scene and he will run at you right into them. You can shoot them and use a threat sensor when he rages from his shields being down, and cheese his health (best using the sentinel beam)
Or you could just cheese the entire thing with the Scorpion cannon gun :p
Now you're speaking my language
My quick question, do you need to complete the game 💯 in order for any end cutscene, I'm currently doing my legendary playthrough as my first run, n am genuinely curious if it matter? If it doesn't then I'm currently about 47% done n it's definitely not the hardest one, atleast for me, halo 2 still takes that cake but I did it. :)
I shall take thy'n words into great consideration. Thank you, my good sir :)
I'm on the final boss for my LASO run, tbh doesn't feel like true halo LASO. Could you talk about it?
Yes I cheesed it….
*"I've already beaten this game on Legendary twice"*
The level of dedication for Halo Infinite here exceeds me, keep up the great work
He did have a two week advantage
dude eschrum was a Nightmare on legendary
Cap
@@killerwolfZeita1171 not really Just Grapple around and use the rocket launcher and Skewer in the room
@@JulianLares I’ve finished it on Legendary 100% and LASO, two week advantage doesn’t really matter that much. Though this is one of the easier LASOs I’ve tried since Bandanna skull replaced the Iron skull.
Escharum's 2nd phase was easily the hardest legendary fight for me. Those !!HAMMER LUNGES!! left me grappling around for so long, until I could get shots on him through the outer hallways. Felt as if he was breathing down the back of my neck, finding myself physically tucking my butt forward as he chased me down. Hearing the hammer smack behind me would give me a heart attack every time.
The dialogue after his death was my favorite in the entire campaign though and well worth the fight. Chief honoring him as someone just trying to do what he sought right.
Yeah, I would grapple away and have to *immediately* combo in two thrusts because I could see him RIGHT behind me on the motion tracker after my grapple. Dude was a warrior, no doubt. Respect deserved.
Use the thrusters
That was by far my favorite boss fight in the game because of how much advanced movement you’re forced to do on legendary. Reminded me of Doom Eternal. Swinging around and bouncing off walls while pumping him full of needles, head tapping him and herring fusion coils at him was such a great time
For his second phase I just kept Tarzan swinging over his head with the grapple and shredding him with the AR, worked really well on heroic.
I actually found good success thrustering towards him, baiting an attack. When you are further away, he will leap at you a football size length, and smack you, usually instant kill.
With the way the hammers work, the safest point is either far away, or to the side or behind the user.
Whenever I thrust backwards, either I'd miss the timing and get smacked, or I'd be far enough away that he'd go for a lung. Which you can thruster away, but you will be spent on cool downs.
The other thing is that the shotgun and sword will stun him more frequently than other weapons. So it was a combo of thruster, sword, shotgun x2, repeat. I'd grapple for either reload or breathing room.
Granted it's on Heroic so I don't know Legendary, but I had gotten to frustrated with trying to Spiderman my way around, just for him to either catch up too quickly to fire a gun, or he'd leap at me from across the room.
I love how hard they actually made all of the bosses in this campaign, literally each boss has a unique fighting style that you have to adapt to and outsmart.
Just finished the game on legendary and the guy I struggled with most was Chak Lok. Initially I had just labeled him the "tower guy" I was gonna body with the sword I brought up...
@@baked2522 same. I didnt realize it was gonna be an actual fight and I died to him the most easily.
The bosses were the beyond easy heroic was like playing normal or easy and legendary was just right
surprised you've been playing halo sense you live on TH-cam
I had problem with the gravity hammer only guy. The thing is I only knew you can upgrade your equipment after I finished the campaign. I face palmed so hard
for the chieftain at the end, once you've killed all the enemies except him, you can cheese him by sitting on the "bridge" things with the ammo boxes and a sentinel beam. he has to walk the long way up so you can jump off the second he gets nearby, wait for him to drop down again and grapple back up. repeat for easy kill.
That is the exact same thing I did on my first heroic run after 40+ minutes of dying to that damn brute.
@@magmion5324 energy sword stuns him so i just spammed energy sword attacks
Feels like that is the ONLY way to kill him, some of these enemies are waaaay overtuned.
Yeah, I did that on my second legendary run but you can only do it once all the other enemies are dead or you’ll get beamed by the snipers
There is a small overhang over the lower doors along the circular room that I perched on and forced him to use spike nades, he literally stayed under the door so I just unloaded on him.
When I was fighting Escharum on Legendary on his last phase, he got trapped between some boxes and could not move. It could have been an easy fight but, like him, I wanted it to be a legendary fight with honor. So I took him out of the boxes and fought him for 30 min more. What a fight. I was actually happy that it was a difficult fight
I said I was going to bust his monkey balls going into the campaign. In the end, he was the only boss who lasted more than 45 seconds against me... So I gave him a warrior’s death and spared the balls.
Then he got back up and Chief gave him the same respect I wanted to. Felt good.
He hit me with his hammer in the final boss stage and I got stuck in the room with the fuses in the roof and I could hit him but he couldn't hit me
@@roberthalbert2972 Now that's what I call finishing the fight
Even in the boxes...he would have died a warriors death...doing what he thought was right. Lol
Luck mf I beat him the legit way and his last phase with the gravity hammer is straight bs
For the fight against the Harbinger. I HIGHLY recommend using the sentinel beams that you can find on the wall. The constant damage prevents her from spawning the electrical balls and when she teleports, she always teleports around you, so just turn around and fire at her immediately. You can melt her shield real quick and instead of using ammo, when her shield is depleted, just melee her and that’ll initiate the next phase/end the fight
Bro I love you I just did what you said. I beat her ass with the grav hammer and it worked so well. Thank you so fucking much
Fuck I hate those blue balls, they are so BS
20:39 I felt The Road was not insanely difficult "the standard way" on legendary. I died only twice, even all marines survived. I just used the scorpion tank which is available at the beginning of the level. I was just spamming shots from very far away until no hitmarkers were triggered. I even received the "Bring Shiela Home Safely " achievement :D
If anyone is having issues with vehicles on legendary, use the calcine disruptor, its a 4 shot kill on most infantry and like 8 shots for vehicles to emp. Good runs everyone
Bro i just wait for them to be alone and grapple hook the shit out of them lol
Weird tip to everyone: the disruptor for some reason does INSANE damage to bosses
Yea I used that on the first boss then dumped on him with grenades and a mauler. I was *shocked* how effective it was.
I'll see myself out now.
So there are two brutes in the cliffs above the two red hunters guarding the skull - and the strat I found that worked was grabbing the shock riffles and disrupters from those brutes, which surprisingly took out the red hunters on legendary. That's when I knew the disrupter was OP on legendary.

I'm not looking forward to the final boss on Legendary.. lol
Trust me its a bitch I dod my first play through on legendary and everything was food up til that point but sentinel beam/cinder shot melts her shield then drop wall os a life savior so is the pullars 😉
the boss isn't even what's hard... that brute...
@@alekay2099 That chieftain took an hour of my life I'll never get back...
Man I was swearing at the TV on heroic for that boss fight let alone on legendary then just imagine doing a laso run 😅😅
@@finisterre2415 the brute was the real boss...
When fighting the chieftain during the final boss, if you kill all the enemies you can jump on the lamps between the outer ring floor and he will run under you and only try to throw grenades at you which miss but you can shoot him without moving in that spot
I played through Infinite on legendary for my first playthrough, while i'm happy the most of legendary was balanced, but the spartan hunters (Except for 'Jega, for some reason) gives me intense PTSD from how painful those fights were. This guide would've been INCREDIBLY helpful for past me, but hey; with enough salt and pain you can beat anything!
I managed to cheese it with a warthog and some marines (turns out those fuckers do some DAMAGE on legendary)
And we have another liar the game is far from balanced
Legendary felt pretty good, the only major bullshit I encountered was Banished Hunters, because they just WONT FUCKING DIE AAAAAAAAA (and can pretty much instakill you if you don't have cover, from about any range)
other than that I didn't die too often unless I actually fucked up, but I was always just at the edge of death. Legendary as it should be, IMO
That’s interesting because I feel like Jega gave me the most PTSD 😂
Loved him as a character but I will NEVER fight him on legendary again. The amount of sweat…
Jega went down like a sack of bricks during my heroic run. I was genuinely confused, like was he supposed to be that easy?
I completely agree about the arcane sentinel beam, it’s insane.
Regular sentinel beam was good too. I remember that it killed litteraly anything I pointed it at plus it had like 900 rounds and after the mission pelican down they're litteraly everywhere or ammo
The blademaster fight was also my favorite, it was the most interactive. I found myself using all of my equipment to take him down and I went into the fight not knowing what I would be up against and had shitty weapons which made the experience very hard.
You can effectively counter him by camping a corner, it forces him to spawn in front of you.
"all of my equipment" including shieldwall ??
i know this is a legendary video but on normal i killed him in under 10 seconds with the hardlight grenade launcher and a turret i carried inside. Felt kinda bad about making it so easy
@@vcrplayer382 the shield is useful af if you upgraded it fully. Adding shock dmg to most-all weapons
@@vcrplayer382 yes because all I had was an AR and BR and the dropwall shock upgraded helped a lot
Wish I knew most of these tips when I was doing my playthrough (especially how effective needlers are for hunters), but I feel really good that I was able to overcome the missions with my own strategies
I conquered this game on Legendary without knowing any of this. I smashed my way through it the hardcore way. Granted I died 157 times doing it.
Well done soldier. ONI sends its regards
The hardcore way is the only way
same here, i aint no pansie
I die about 157 times per mission 😅
were can i check deaths?
A few things I learnt whilst playing through on heroic that got me through were that...
1. Everytime Jega goes into full camo mode, there's a few shock fusion coils that are at the back left of the top floor that I would pick up then stun him with allowing me to lower his shields before disappearing again. I think there's three so you can do loads of damage whilst he's stunned
2. A single grenade will take out the cores for escharums shield
3. The disruptor works really well against him, basically stuns him into the same position so you can melt him down quickly
Don't know if this will help but it worked for me :)
Just beat LASO last night…that Jega/Escharum back to back fight is so brutal. No checkpoint if you don’t kill Jega with a melee… all in all though it was a ton of fun!!
Do you get an achievement for beating it on laso?
@@Bicurious_George yessir
Is it worth the grind for LASO?
@@pressure_eu228 at first I didn’t think so but after a while, it grew on me. I enjoyed figuring out how to beat sections that felt impossible the first time trying them. You definitely feel a sense of accomplishment after you beat it.
You can make a Checkpoint with picking up an Audio Log ;)
i was playing this on heroic and man the hunters were just destroying me lol, i was sniping them in the knees at times and doing everything i could and did not think the needler would be the way to go, gonna be so easy to deal with them now.
I shot all the ammo from a br into one of their knees from a spot that they wouldn’t shoot back from and they still didn’t die. Definitely some of the hardest hunters in the whole series.
@@imtoospartan1134 100% agree. They were so easy before and we got used to it but these boys r built different lol
Yea same im so used to the needler being not too effective against them if you cant get a clean shot on their back.
It made even just Heroic hunters much harder than they should have been lol. Hopefully legendary hunters will be easier with a needler this time around.
You're right the needler works well against them
Jumped into legendary right away on this and was surprised at how fair it feels. Sure the enemies track more but the damage feels right and theres not constant instant deaths, even the tremonius fight was hard until i figured out to rip his shields with plasma but not too hard then.
One of the best legendary difficulties out of all the Halos.
Agreed. Being able to kill most units without noob combo is much less boring and fair. Sure, sniper jackals are back, and they're good, but they take several seconds to aim - and you see them aiming.
It's by no means easy, and I'm dying a lot (picked legendary myself too for first run through), but I don't feel cheated every time I die; usually I'm just being a bit more yolo than I should be haha
@@Gumbi1012 Yeah every time a Sniper Jackal killed me it was because I stood still in the wrong spot or gave him a good angle on me, and the next checkpoint I could adjust and move on. It's not Halo 2 where you get instasniped the frame after you leave cover from 3 angles and get bogged down trying to brute force through it.
I had a different take, I was coming into this off of Doom Eternal and while I’m a literal lifelong halo fan, been there since day one when I was three, I jumped into this playing it like doom and I got my ass kicked a lot😂 but I slid into the game’s design and it might be the best halo game overall
I was afraid that legendary was gonna be unnecessary difficult but I’m glad you mentioned this. I’ll give it a shot while I go back for skulls
If you want a hilariously easy boss fight with bassus (excavation ), give marines sentinel beam variant and push them into grav lift before boss fight. They will follow you while up there and melt the boss before you can get your gun out. They will also be shooting him during the cutscene which is also hilarious
Really that’s cool xD I’ll try it on my next run bc I’ve already defeated bassus
I beat the game on legendary before watching any tutorials/story videos just so I could experience it without any help.
It. Was. FRUSTRATING. 😂
Felt good to beat it tho. Wish I would have gotten that sentinel beam…
for jega i'd recommend piling up all the fusion coils you can find before picking up the audio thing from echo 216 in the middle of the room of the top floor.
As soon as he goes invisible and you see the coils move (he goes straight at you) just shoot and and boom he is dead.
Honestly its the easiest boss in the game
Bassus, Jega, and even one of the Brute Spartan Killers all spawn with a shit ton of coils near them or their arena
lol yeah i agree i didnt do that but the first time I ran through him on heroic(idk if this is as good on legendary but ill find out) i brought the machine gun from the lower floor and killed him first try. machine fun spam ftw
I feel powerful beating this game on legendary before this video came out
The arcane sentinel beam was an instant favorite of mine, it absolutely MELTS and is so satisfying to use
I thought this campaign was going to be corny and over-modernized. I was wrong. It's so perfect
Are you insane? It's a basic Ubisoft game
@@dwylie83 sounds like someone didn't played it
@@dwylie83 yeah its just like call of duty because you shoot guns lmao play the game
@@dwylie83 it's the second mission of Halo CE but a full game, that makes Ubisoft games halo clones
He didn't mention the 2 red hunters in the little room before you fight the final boss, honestly they gave me hell
Good timing as I’m just about to start my legendary run.
You CAN return to the open world after entering the Command Spire by fast travel then when you resume mission you’ll pick up from your last save point. But, you should be picking up spartan cores along the way to have enough to get those necessary upgrades. Do the side missions with a razorback full of arcane sentinel marines. They will fucking melt plasma/scrap cannon chieftans
You'll have a batter chance at winning if you get the secret weapon at Tramonious Base on top of the frigate and go to the second cannon to get it.
I've been using it for my legendary play though. It cheese the boss's in under 30 second's. It's just over the top. Not even a challenge.
@@metalwarrior9496 Yep, kind of annoys me honestly. If it was a limited ammo weapon or only available for a short amount of time, or took a ton of effort to get at the least, like the Scarab gun in Halo 2, it wouldn't be a big deal. But this is one of the easiest easter eggs in Halo history and it beats the game for you.
@@221Prohunter if it annoys you don't use it. It's a game, you are supposed to have fun and the developers put it there as a choice. I am doing my legendary run now and not using the scorpion gun and will try laso without it as well. If I find laso waaaaaay too hard, I'll use it lol. No need to die 100 times because I cant see what weapon I'm equipping
@@221Prohunter Why would you purposely do something that makes the game less fun for you?
I think I'm going to take a look at this weapon you speak of now that I've beaten the game.
The way that you need to act for the Tremonius boss fight instantly reminded me of the start of Halo 2’s Gravemind mission. You need to immediately back up or you’ll get melted.
Nice, now I can finally beat Bassus effectively. I'm playing on Heroic, and was having a blast until this big guy came out of nowhere and started a boss fight. This guy is way too fast and powerful with his attacks, I died like 15 times, one of them I was even close to defeating him, but I couldn't do it. Thanks to your effective tips, I can finally be able to kill this overgrown mandrill.
my man was not kidding with how hard he was grinding on videos for this game. what a dude. love ur content man!
IM IN LOVE WITH THIS GAME I NEED MORE LORE
100% vouch for maxing Armor Cores. I hardly upgraded my equipment and the last 2 fights were insanely difficult
The amount of content from the campaign is.... iconic
@HiddenXperia I found a fully loaded Breacher BR75 right near to Chak Lok's tower, on your way from the first FOB to the Tower.
I absolutely love Halo Infinite, they did a good job
On the second phase of escharums fight I kept shitting myself because his red dot was right behind me
To anyone stuck on Esharum’s gravity hammer phase, literally just walk backwards around the perimiter of the arena with a needler and precision weapon, thrusting backwards if he jumps at you. Took me forty minutes until I realized this, and made it second try
I just now finished my first play through. And for my first play through I went on legendary and boy was it a good challenge.
A really good tip for The Road mission. You can completely skip all the fights by hugging the Left edges. You’ll right into a few brutes but you can grapple by all of them. If you stay on left edges you can completely skip everything and I MEAN EVERYTHING.
For blademaster, I took a machine gun turret into the room with me just for safety and I just stunned him with a dynamo grenade and melted him with the turret in 3 seconds
"Just for safety," lol
I brought the duelist energy sword in and just melted him with that.
@@ZarMationStudios18 I do the same thing lol
Granted I didn’t play infinite on legendary first time round (played on heroic) but I found Jega Rdomnai’s boss fight incredibly easy. Save one of the machine gun turrets u find in the level and bring it to the boss fight. Just drop it beneath the hanger and grapple it into your hands. This thing melted him pretty quickly for me and I didn’t have trouble killing him. Also helps because u can kinda shoot and pray if u don’t know where he is to find him. Hope this helps!
He’s my next boss so I’ll definitely give this a try!
I hope Hokiebird428 gets to this as well. He's awesome with his Legendary Walkthroughs!
I went straight into Legendary and had no idea about these techniques but still made it all the way until the third phase of the final boss fight on Legendary, this video is going to help me out a lot as I had no idea about the Arcane Sentinel Beam and BR combo. Thanks mate.
I’m pretty sure Jega doesn’t turn 100% invisible; he just despawns and then respawns usually behind you after a few seconds.
I HAD HIM GRAPPLED AND SUDDENLY I WAS GRAPPLING THE WALL BEHIND ME.
You my friend, are a prophet
helped me so much in completing this on legendary thank you so much i appreciate it a whole bunch :)
14:00 The game does not save between each of those brutes. I have killed 1 over a dozen times, but you have to get both in one go.
I definitely got a checkpoint after killing Hyperius but before killing Tovarus. He jumped over into that crashed frigate and I got a save when I grappled up to find him.
@16:10
Thank you so much for this strat. I was pulling my hair out trying to nood combo Hyperius first. I got incredibly lucky that he eventually came up to where Tovarus died and I was able to take him out there as well.
"This mission is frankly impossible to do the standard way on Legendary."
Me, who did it the standard way on Legendary: "I'm something of a gamer myself"
i just got past this part and felt like all my deaths were in vain but also feel really good knowing i passed it
I took down Jega by grabbing all the fusion coils in the arena and placing them where he spawns. Insta kills.
*SPOILERS* Thought of a very interesting idea/direction halo infinite could go in. We know Atriox probably wants to use the endless to control time in order to save his home planet and rule well everything. However if Chief finds a way to use the endless he could back in time with help of say Offensive Bias, he could stop the interrogation of the Timeless one preventing the Flood. Chief would hold the Mantle (precursors were right, humanity holding the mantle), Offensive Bias would fulfill his programing (Stopping Mendicant). Chief would have saved Cortana ( stopping the rampancy). The timeless one would obviously have time on his side, and chief would be endless. Literately symbolic of "Infinite" as well as, unstoppable force meets unmovable object
Good tips, thanks! I was just preparing myself for the Legendary run and your video helped me to summarize all my notes from Normal run.
This is probably my favorite campaign yet, the levels feel challenging but fair, the sandbox is great, the open world is amazing, and the bosses are great (except bassus, fuck bassus)
Honestly though i dont like the hunters as much, they are WAAY too fast. I NEED the maxed thruster’s camo in order to actually reach their back 99% of the time, and forcing me to use a single weapon or strat for an enemy type is not cool for a game like this. We have all these options for a reason, and yet i dont feel like i really have any options for the hunters, just spam explosives and thrust away from fuel rods. I want to be able to grapple over them and get a couple quick shots on the back, but i cant cus by the time ive turned around, they’re already facing me and charging a shot. I want to bait and kite their melees and get a shotgun blast or melee in but they can turn with their swings and hit me anyway, an even if i thrust around them they still turn to face me unless i have the camo upgrade. The back has always been their main weak point and it just, doesnt feel like its even an option anymore with how quick they are, and how they insist on blasting me at point blank instead of swinging their shield. Then when they finally do swing, there’s no telecasting at all, half the time they get me before i even realize they’re finally going for a melee. Sitting there spamming needles isnt fun, hiding behind a drop wall with a skewer isnt fun. Going for risky moves like getting up close with a sword and thrusting around behind it while it tries to swing at me IS fun and engaging because i actually have to try and time my movements and watch how the hunter comes at me. But in this game when i try that, i get melted by the fuel rod i cant dodge cus hes right in front of me or he insta-kills me with a swift slam of his shield. Theyre just not as fun.
SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE'S DESTINY WAS TO FALL TO BASSUS
@@nabeelhussain1372 EVERYONE EVENTUALLY FALLS TO BASSUS
something that might make the hyperius and trovarus fight easier is that ive found that if you have a ghost on semi low health and abandon it near the building you fight tovarus in, you can get hyperius to ride it and one shot him with the rocket launcher in that room. (warning though: ive noticed if you cheese hyperius you dont get a checkpoint so be carefull)
I love the accurate music moments you put in this vidéo
This game is incredibly diverse, not just in the open world, but in its gameplay. for my legendary playthrough, i used a completely different strategy, i was essentially playing it like doom (grapple punching enemies, getting up close and personal with a gravity hammer and shotgun, it felt amazing.
i highly recommend that if you want to try playing the game in a unique way, master movement mechanics, the gravity hammers delay, and the chunkiness of the bulldog. give it a try on heroic with killer music and you'll be feeling the doomslayer energy as soon as you hit installation-07. (melee counters and close range dodging are surprisingly effective against elites, it usually blocks their attack and gives you time to react, that's my general pro tip)
and thanks experia for the well researched video, i learned about a few mechanics i hadn't quite noticed.
Already finished the game on LASO but I still watch because I love your commentary
Thanks for the tips this made my play through go a lot smoother. One thing that is a little broken but works well is when you give 5 marines the arcane sentinel beam load them up in a razorback and drive it to a base or any open world place to take down enemies. It goes really well since they don't run out of ammo.
I was having trouble with the last enemy rush on the harbinger fight.
But i beat it first try after taking your advice. Running/grappling around the map in a circle really worked.
I just started my first Legendary run last night, and I've got two words for you. Bandana Skull! Ok, I know you'll technically complete it with an asterisk, and purists aren't going to like it, but equipping the bandana skull gives you infinite ammo. I ran through the first mission with the assault rifle and pistol the game started me with. Headshots with the pistol take Brutes down pretty fast (3 or 4 shots), even on Legendary. Once you get out into the open world, grab the "secret" tank gun and you're a full-on war machine. Again... this isn't for the purists who want to beat it with standard weapons, but for anyone who just wants to get through it on Legendary, I highly recommend working through the game on an easier difficulty to grab the skulls, then start your Legendary run with Bandana activated. Oh... and turn on Grunt Birthday, just because it always makes you smile when a Grunt's head explodes into confetti. 😄 Great video, I appreciated the tips on bosses, as I've only faced the first boss on Legendary, so far. BTW, the freeze-frame rocket at 17:26 is awesome! 🤣😂
I absolutely love your new animation sequence at the beginning of your newer videos. The red energy swords look wicked badass
I completed halo infinite on legendary without knowing any of this, not even de graphing slide thing and it made it a 200% harder but I don’t regret it, it was pretty fun but each boss took me at least 2 to 3 hours 😭
This guide was extremely helpful in a lot of ways for a legit legendary run! I will say some the of the hardest stuff is the last two levels, but it honestly requires a lot of patience. BIG TIP: If you finish the road the normal way, and decided to close the game at any point during the House of Recoking, you are most likely gonna have to fight the Hunters again; not something I see many people mention. Thanks again for this!
I spent an hour on the harbinger fight on legendary before finding you channel and video. Using your suggestions I beat her on the first try back
the arcane sentinel beam tip was a life saver on the bosses in the end game thank you 👍
Luc been following this guide as I go through my Legendary run. I just beat Hyperius and Tovarus on my first attempt thanks to your strats. The hydra launcher blew up Hyperius's chopper, it was some delicious cheese :)
Desperately waiting for your full first play through reaction. It’s fun to watch someone who is even more invested than myself
Great Guide.....Nice One !!
Only one thing though.....You can get the Breacher BR from a Fallen UNSC Soldier who's on top of a cliff South of the Tower and North of FOB Foxtrot and it's pretty much always there, so if you're near it and need ammo.....Help yourself !!
Just thought I'd mention it.....Keep Up the Great Work !!
for Tavarus in order to cheese it every time shoot the chopper two times with the hydra, reload, THEN hit him with the entire Hydra clip. This will make it so the chopper explodes before the the meltdown animation where Tavarus has time to get out.
Great video thanks! That early BR tip helped me a ton.
Thank you. I went into the campaign blind on legendary and so many of these fights were insane, but the Harbinger was just another level of frustrating. When you get one hit killed by her attacks, it’s very difficult to actually learn the fight, so I felt like I was just running into a brick wall every checkpoint.
Ended up going to bed but now I have a good guide for the fight. Hopefully I beat it tomorrow
Thank you so much! Got Tovarus down first try and was able to kill Hyperius after a few of deaths. He pulled his chopper broad side to me and I spammed hydra to take his chopper down but got him in the resulting explosion I s’pose. Cheers!
I'm gonna admit something about hearing the new improvisation for the noob combo fills me with such nostalgia I can't even explain it
I finished it on legendary, but I did most of it on foot and without help from marines. I did some of these things. But, I just wish I had used all the resources available! I got so ensconced in exploring lol...good video man.
8:22 I dunno about the ghost elite being easy because once you get to him another drop of covenant hit you so you are fighting about 3 ghosts plus elites plus jackals. Also what does the breach BR do? I tried it and it doesn't seem much better than a normal BR but has less ammo.
Thanks for the guides! Escherum and Harbinger was 2 really enjoyable fights to do. Legendary complete :D
Great video! Can confirm, just beat Halo Infinite Legendary without upgrading thrusters at all. It's DOABLE, but probably infinitely (pun intended) more annoying without thrusters, cause most things just outpace you if you aren't expert with the grapple and time your shots well enough.
Am I the only one amazed by his moves and precision with the grapple at 4:00 🙌🏻👏🏻
18:48
Actually, his rockets attack where he covers around a 60° area pretty much instakills, and he is much tankier than the first fight
@9:15 I found a breacher BR in a cave under the tower, it's on the south westerns side outside the walls. Just a slightly sooner way of getting one that could help clear the tower mission
You can easily cheese Jega 'Rdomnai. (probably too late posting this and I already beat the game on legendary before watching this).
On the left side of the arena as you enter the is a small pit with a wall on the left side of it. (If I'm remembering the layout correctly).
If you place your back to this small wall, Jega will come out of stealth in the middle of the room every single time, in the open and with a slight delay before attacking. This completely disabled this phase of the fight. Lets you easily land free shots on him when it appears. Wall and pit can be seen at 22:20
While visible simply do little hops over the pit that's near the mentioned wall. He will jump over it to chase you, you jump back and forth past each other. Its kinda funny, letting you get free shots or melees on him.
Rinse and repeat until the Blademaster is dead.
I found the breacher BR on accident as I was working my way around the excavation site and I didn't put it down the WHOLE GAME lol LOVE IT!
Mannnn i needed this a few days ago!! but i made do, finished the campaign tonight and it was one hell of an experience
9:25 there is another Breacher BR near the tower, on top of some unsc crates, you can grab it before you fight Chak Lok
Idk if anyone else knows this but u can get the flex fire sniper on one of the mountain peaks when you get shot down by the AA guns and the upgraded Hydra pursuit hydra on a little island near one of the aa gun
so you can get the breacher br before the chak lok fight, there is a dead marine with one near the tower
I find that on lower difficulties the drop wall can be a life savory on the fourth upgrade. There have been situations where there’s a chieftain lasering me and I’m in the open, i place down the drop wall and it saves my life.
I went in blind for my first playthrough on Legendary and iv got to say, the fully upgraded Drop Wall is so damn OP. Also died to that damn Chieftain in the final boss more times than any other point in the run. Also with the Spartan Killers i found just flanking the one on the Chopper, hijack him, wait for him to get in the Ghost and ram him for an insta kill. Then use the snipers and skewers on the scrap cannon one haha. Id actually reccomend taking Jega's Bloodblade, you can cheese Esharum in his Grav Ham phase by spamming him with the sword and stun locking him
For the hyperius tovarus fight I found a way that basically gets me to the:you call that a spartan killer? Please, you made that look easy, which is achievable if you'd defeat them within 3 minutes, how I did this you ask? Well, I immediately hacked hyperius from his chopper and ran him over with it, honestly just keep rushing him till you kill him then once he's dead leave the chopper and immediately go for tovarus with anything you got, trust me up close tovarus is actually pretty bad at killing you, then the rest of the units stay far away and pick them off if your really want to
Just beat the game on Heroic, plan on tackling legendary eventually. This is great. Thanks!
A good tactic for escharum also is a point in where he cant get to you in the 2nd stage. In the middle of the room you have 2 narrow hallways on either side, above those hallways some cables come together in a box. You can grapple onto either box and shoot him from up there. He'll only throw the occasional spike nade, but it doesnt kill you on legendary. Or when you're low, just move to the other side
Lowkey that last Hammer Brute on the final phase of the Harbinger is harder than Escharum.
This is gonna help so much with my legendary/all-skulls run, thanks brother
This is the best guide I have found ..... Thanks!
This will be my first halo game on a legendary run! Been always on heroic but i think i can do this! Thanks man!
If your on excavation site, to make your life easier take out the shade turrets before you set the trap, also you can weapon swap some gear scattered around the site to the entrance to give you another edge
For the Jega Rdomnai fight, before picking up the hologram you can place all the fusion coils in the room close but not next to you on the right. You'll see them in the cut scene and he will run at you right into them. You can shoot them and use a threat sensor when he rages from his shields being down, and cheese his health (best using the sentinel beam)
Thank you for this break down. I was definitely trying to beat bassus in the worst ways possible.
Ur trick for hyperius and tovarus was so helpful thank you
For Tremonius, there is a super simple chees location behind the elevator and very high up where he simply cannot hit you. Used it for LASO
I'm gonna try find this location, ha! Man these bosses are no joke
