In the beginning of the level, as Foehammer will drop you off by the platform to the entrance of the control room, you will see Grunts running into the pressure doors to call upon their brethren. Now you have two options. | In the beginning of the level, as Foehammer will drop you off by the platform to the entrance of the control room, you will see Grunts running into the pressure doors to call upon their brethren.

The second option is an immediate tactic that saves a lot of time, although the Elites may survive the blast. Swap a Plasma Pistol for the Assault Rifle for your next encounter. Venture into the short passage, the next room is littered with Grunts, but before that, you will have to take out the Elite. Use a charge shot to disable the Elites shield and gun him down with a pistol headshot. Fairly easy, but the Minor Elite may have spotted you, and he will began throwing a ridiculous amount of plasma grenades at you, lob a grenade at him to disperse the oncoming hoard of Grunts. Journey your way across the room, but don't get near the doors, because a hail of plasma by Jackals and Grunts will put you down. Lob another grenade at them, and proceed onto the bridge. | The second option is an immediate tactic that saves a lot of time, although the Elites may survive the blast.

Now at the basement, you will encounter some sleeping grunts, melee them with ease, and proceed. You will soon find an Elite wandering aimlessly back and forth, melee him in the back or just chuck a grenade at him casually, this will certainly wake everyone up, even if you did the job stealthy, because someone on the other side will probably see you. | Now at the basement, you will encounter some sleeping grunts, melee them with ease, and proceed.

The Elite will start running towards the Ghosts parked underneath a small cliff top with a shade turret on it. Use your pistol to gun down the Grunt by your side and the Grunt on the cliff top, and proceed to the Elites. Beware of the Wraith's fire though; they're dead accurate at overturning vehicles. | ||
After you put down the Elite, swap for the Sniper Rifle or the Rocket launcher (Either one of them won't matter, you'll probably run out of ammo before you know it, you can swap the two weapons, which isn't recommended). Get onto the Warthog; drive it to the shady areas to pick up the Marines (in order to dodge the Wraith). Dash forward, you don't need to wait for the gunner (if you have one) to put down the aliens. You will eventually run into a crashed Pelican and find a Scorpion that's parked with Marines. Drive the Hog into a position where the gunner can support you, then climb in the tank and kill the Ghosts quickly. Steamroll the surviving Covenant as quickly as possible in order to preserve your Marines. At least keep the sniper alive, as he has a fantastic rate of fire and range, which makes killing infantry much easier. Have the Marines board the Scorpion and drive on. | After you put down the Elite, swap for the Sniper Rifle or the Rocket launcher (Either one of them won't matter, you'll probably run out of ammo before you know it, you can swap the two weapons, which isn't recommended).

It is recommended to go down the bend rather than use the cave, since it gives you a better angle to tackle the first (well, technically second) Wraith. Blow up a few Ghosts as well, and shoot the Grunt gunner on the ridge off his turret.

Making sure your Marines cover you so enemies don’t annoy you when you’re using your Sniper Rifle (which will make you zoom out), look at the platform where the future Pulse Generator is (for those who haven’t played Two Betrayals, look back to the bend, and look up) and zoom to | Making sure your Marines cover you so enemies don’t annoy you when you’re using your Sniper Rifle (which will make you zoom out), look at the platform where the future Pulse Generator is (for those who haven’t played Two Betrayals, look back to the bend, and look up) and zoom to 10x (8x for PC). You will see the Banshee’s top, which is a blur of magenta. Aim your Sniper Rifle at it, and without adjusting your aim, switch to your Rocket Launcher and fire. | ||
If it impacts on the platform or wall, aim a little higher or lower (depending on where you missed), and try again. If you succeeded, good for you. The Banshee will most likely not fall, but will merely flip. This is all you need to do for now, as it will prevent the Elite from using it. Eliminate the remainder of the enemies, including the Wraith on the hill above the cave, and the Hunters in the cave. | If it impacts on the platform or wall, aim a little higher or lower (depending on where you missed), and try again.

Before you start, remember this is Halo's longest level- not just in CE, but in the whole series. Confirm that you have enough time. Do conserve ammo. Never ever shoot the Elites straight forward with the pistol. Three clips is required just to drop a Blue Elite (Minor). | Before you start, remember this is Halo's longest level- not just in CE, but in the whole series. Confirm that you have enough time.

After you finished [[Silent Cartographer]], you'll have a cutscene. After you get off, immediately chuck two grenades at the doors, as two [[Sangheili|Elites]] will come charging through, one a Major and the other a Minor. The grenades should extremely weaken the Major so use around half a magazine in a single burst to take it out before its shields can recharge. If you timed the grenades right, the Minor should be dead. If you receive a checkpoint too late after the doors have already begun opening, you might want to restart; this part is easily the hardest section in the whole level. | After you finished [[Silent Cartographer]], you'll have a cutscene.

After the door closes and the Elites have been dealt with, get into the Shade and simply hold down the fire button at the door. Grunts will fall at your onslaught without any resistance. Take heed - be careful not too let a stray Grunt escape for two reasons. First, it will distract your fire, allowing other Grunts to surround you. More importantly, it ''will'' stick you, given the opportunity. By now, after clearing that part, you should have lost about one or two health bars. Proceed through the corridor and clear out the next room(s) by use of surprise/firepower. A hint to ponder: always kill silently until seen - the [[Sangheili Major|Major Elites]] can be extremely resilient, taking even a direct rocket in Legendary. Hey though, you wanted it! You might want to keep the [[Pistol]], as it will help kill Grunts easily, and you will want it on the bridge. Ok, once you arrive at the bridge, you should quietly melee the [[Unggoy|Grunts]] to death. You ''will'' want to kill the Major Elite on the second level of the bridge.

Even if no one sees you, [[Fire Team Zulu]] will arrive and wake everyone up. Try to kill the Major Elite, then man the [[Shade]] (preferably the one on the left-you get a better angle) and gun the Banshee down. Alternatively, you could use the Assault Rifle to destroy it. By now, you should also face the Jackals. Either use the Plasma Pistol, or get a plasma pistol and repeatedly overcharge it into the Jackals, depleting their shields. Do not charge; in three seconds is all it takes to kill you by a group of [[Kig-yar|Jackals]]. | ||
After you clear the bridge (it might take a long while-don't get frustrated!), the door should open and a group of [[Unggoy|Grunts]], Jackals, and a Zealot should charge in. You can do this part of the level two ways, both of which will let you get past. First, simply spam the plasma or fragmentation grenades at the entrance. All the enemies should be eliminated in no time. Alternatively, you could kill the Jackals / Grunts with your Assault Rifle, and then challenge yourself by killing the Zealot with only the Assault Rifle. This is often considered a difficult task, as previous experience from the [[Truth and Reconciliation]] has shown.

The rest of the room, which consists of one or two Elites, should be dealt with easily enough. Proceed to the next room after reloading and stocking up on weapons. After fighting through a couple more rooms filled with [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]], you should emerge onto the outside.
