Bastion of the Brutes

This article is a stub. You can help Halopedia by expanding it.

The Bastion of the Brutes was a major Covenant Jiralhanae (Brute) base.

Layout

The Bastion of the Brutes consisted of six sections:

1. Entrance tunnels
2. Two-leveled room with a Shielded Plasma Cannon
3. Massive indoor bridge
4. Massive outdoor bridge
5. Prison facility
6. Landing pad

Entrance Tunnels

A series of tunnels from which the Arbiter entered. The Arbiter joined with a Special Operations Elite and two Hunters that would aid his attack on the Bastion of the Brutes. There was also an upturned Cargo/Gun Crate with plasma rifles. Further on, there was another of such crates, this with a pair of fully-charged Particle Beam Rifles.

Turret Room

The Arbiter and his allies stormed this room from the entrance tunnels, emerging on the first floor from the tunnels, charging up the ramp, and seizing the second floor by force. A Brute-operated Shielded Plasma Cannon was on the second floor, as well with Brutes armed with Brute Shots and Carbines. After the Arbiter and his allies wrested control from the small Brute force stationed there, two further waves of Brutes came to contest their control over the Turret Room from the Indoor Bridge.

On the first floor in an out-of-the-way position, there was a Cargo/Gun Crate with a pair of Carbines.

History

In Halo 2, the Arbiter, a Special Operations Elite, and two Lekgolo (Hunters) stormed their way through the Bastion of the Brutes. This is detailed in the The Great Journey.
