Halo 5: Guardians Mission 08 - Swords Of Sanghelios (Legendary)
1MISSION 08 - Swords Of Sanghelios
Advised weapon combo: Battle rifle + Plasma pistol, Carbine + Fuel rod cannon
Objective: Find the Arbiter
After being dropped off on the planet's surface, you'll splash down into the water at the base of a canyon lined with red rocks. Slosh through the waters ahead of you, jumping down the waterfall at the end. You'll see the ruins of an elite structure ahead as you walk forward, continuing your exploration of the elite homeworld. Pass by them and keep following the waterway until you reach a series of ledges and a squad member warns you of covenant forces ahead. Pull out your magnum and perch on one of the ledges overlooking the area to see the enemy grunts and a pair of jackals in the open below. Use your high vantage point to quickly polish them off, then drop down and take some cover in the area below as an elite and additional enemy forces appear further ahead.
When your magnum runs dry, make sure to swap it for a plasma pistol as you are going to be dealing with a fair few elites during this level (so this should be your backup unless something better comes along). You'll want to move up to the rock on the overlook just ahead that gives you a good field of view of the area below to fire at the enemies, while allowing you to retreat if things get too dangerous. Be wary of elites trying to flank your position in this area as they like to move around a lot. Keep picking off the lesser enemies, only attacking the elites if they get close enough to use the plasma pistol + headshot combination, as you don't want to exhaust your battle rifle ammo until you can replace it with a carbine. Don't forget to take advantage of your spartan charge to one shot grunts if they wander too close.
CHECKPOINT
As you finish off this second wave of enemy forces and move up, more will appear from inside the ruins just ahead. Be ready to use your battle rifle against shield wielding jackals. Make sure to take advantage of the good old hand + headshot combination (shoot their hand through the gap in the shield to make them recoil, moving the shield out of the way then finish them off with a head-shot). When all six jackals are toast, move along the watery path once more climbing up over ledges, picking up a dropped carbine from one of the elites before you leave this area to replace your (likely nearly empty) battle rifle.
CHECKPOINT
You'll find more covenant troops waiting for you just ahead, including a turret so back up as soon as you see them so you aren't just gunned down instantly. You can circle around the large rock face to the left for a better vantage point here as well as more cover. Use the slight rise of the ground here as cover, as you poke your head up and fire at the elite in the open and the one controlling the turret. Another elite will be moving forward from the left side of the area in front of you, so keep an eye out that he doesn't pop out at you suddenly. After taking out the small group, move past the turret and splash down into the waterway ahead.
CHECKPOINT
Grab a fresh plasma pistol from the stands or bodies and restock your grenades before continuing on. The cavern will open up a few seconds later, make sure you don't walk straight out. Instead climb up the ramp of rock against the right wall to find a fresh carbine at the top to replenish your ammo. From here, you'll also be able to spot a jackal with a carbine directly oposite your position on a raised ledge, so introduce him to a face full of green death. You'll need to be careful moving ahead from here as falling down is a one way trip (you won't be able to reach the area you arrived from again). Also keep an eye open for another jacal on a ledge on the right side of the open area. Once the jackals are down, you can start focusing on the grunts running around in the middle of the area below.
On the platform just below where you arrived from is a beam rifle you can pick up in exchange for your plasma pistol. Now, you're going to need to trigger the next wave of enemies and then retreat quickly to avoid being caught in a cross-fire. Jump across to the precarious platform the grunts were running around on and drop pods will start slamming into the area ahead of your position. When they do, jump back across to the area where you picked up the beam rifle and take cover behind the rocks. An elite on a turret as well as several other elites will be spread out through the area. If you take the elite out on the turret with the beam rifle, more elites will try to take over the turret, making them easy prey for your beam rifle. Once the elites are gone, you shouldn't have any trouble mopping up the remaining grunts and jackals on the lower level.
