I attempted to complete Halo 2's only Banshee mission WITHOUT flying
358The Arbiter is the only mission in Halo 2 where you're officially required to pilot a Banshee in order to beat the mission, and ultimately, the game. But, what if it was possible to beat this Halo 2 mission without actually using a Banshee? Let's give it a shot!
DIFFICULTY: Easy
SKULLS: Black Eye, Bandanna, Piñata, Boom, Sputnik, Feather
PLAYERS: 2-4
STEPS:
1. Play through the mission "The Arbiter" on Halo 2 Anniversary until you get to the Banshee part
2. Grenade launch onto the Phantom waiting outside of the Banshee platform
3. Bounce frag grenades off the Phantom until it's outside of the range of the overhanging structure
4. Set up the Phantom against the corner of the wall of the initial building that you spawn in without the obstruction of the forerunner structure
5. Overcharge a plasma weapon in order to throw double grenades against the wall on the overcharge cool down while throwing a third grenade on the Phantom as the other two grenades land on the surface and grenade launch up to the initial spawn point on the mission
6. Using the piñata skull, beat 30-100 plasma grenades out of your teammate and set them into a neat pile with your weapons
7. Have Player 2, the one who was still on the Phantom, go back and enter a Banshee for a checkpoint
8. Set up your stack of 30-100 Plasma Grenades into a neat pile on the edge of the structure that you initially spawn on
9. Wait for a checkpoint that comes after the Phantom destroys the first two Banshees
10. Throw a live Plasma Grenade a few feet outside of the stack of Plasma Grenades and launch to the final platform that houses the door that, when reached, ends the mission
