In the last part of [[Halo 2]] on the level The Great Journey during the Boss Fight with [[Tartarus]], it is possible to '''Fight Tartarus with a [[Banshee]]'''. This may take a few tries to get on approach but it is well worth it as he is easier to take down.
It is possible to '''Fight [[Tartarus]] with a [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshee]]''', in the ''[[Halo 2]]'' level, [[The Great Journey]]. This may take a few tries to get on approach and takes a great deal of patience, but is well worth it to certain players.


==Walkthrough==
In the second to last part of the level where [[Avery Junior Johnson|Sergeant Avery Johnson]] destroys the door with a [[Protos-pattern Scarab|Scarab]], wait for him to shoot the door then fly into it. Though not required, it is advisable that you destroy the two wings of the Banshee before you enter the door. You can still make it with the wings, but you'll just damage them and it will take a longer time. After you get inside the door, start flying upward and then forward. You will fly over one wall and then get stuck in between two walls. When this happens, fly downward. Your Banshee will end up in front of the door.


At this point, get out of your [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshee]], so the door will open. Get back in the [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshee]] and boost through the door but be wary of [[Anskum-pattern plasma grenade|plasma grenades]]. A few [[jiralhanae|Brutes]] will engage you, use the [[Class-2 Projectile cannon|Fuel Rod Cannon]] to grind them into powder and fly in the room and through the doors the Brutes came in. When you do this, a cutscene will show [[Tartarus]] activating [[Installation 05|Delta Halo]]. After the scene finishes, you can either kill the [[Jiralhanae|Brutes]] and then run backwards past Johnson, or just get the Banshee right then when the scene ends. Your [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshee]] will be sitting in the hallway of which you can go into and fly through the pillars to fight Tartarus.  
==Instructions==
In the second to last part of the level where [[Sergeant Avery Johnson]] destroys the door with a [[Scarab]], wait for him to shoot the door then fly into it. It is advisable that you destroy the two wings of the Banshee before you enter the door. Although, with the two wings, you can still make it, but you'll just damage the wings and it will take a long time. After you get inside the door, start flying upward and then forward. You will fly over one wall and then get stuck in between two walls. When this happens, fly downward. Your Banshee will end up in front of the door.


Tartarus will try to attack you, but a few [[Class-2 Projectile cannon|Fuel Rod Cannon]] shots should finish him. This can be an extremely good method to use on [[Heroic]] and [[Legendary]] difficulty settings for new and inexperienced players. Also, do not simply run him over and push him off the edge of the structure , as he will vanish into thin air (well below where you could see him without the Banshee) and reappear in the grav-lift.


After killing Tartarus, the cutscene will play as usual, meaning this trick has no effect on the scene.
At this point, get out of your [[Banshee]], so the door will open, and then get back into your [[Banshee]] and fly into the room. When that is done, it will be a lot easier to move around. A few [[Brutes (Jiralhanae)| Brutes]] will engage you, but you can take care of them no problem with a [[Fuel Rod Gun]] shot; however, on [[Legendary]], this may be a problem. The only other way on Legendary, is to simply fly in the door with your Banshee. After they are dead, get out of the [[Banshee]] so the next door will open and fly in. When you do this, a cutscene will show Tartarus activating [[Installation 05|Delta Halo]]. After the scene finishes kill the [[Brute]]s and then run backwards past Johnson. Your [[Banshee]] will be sitting in the hallway of which you can go into and fly through the pillars to fight Tartarus with.  


== Trivia ==
*It is possible to get two Banshees into the Control Room, if done correctly.

Tartarus will call you a coward for doing this but a few [[Fuel Rod Gun]] shots should shut him up. This can be an extremely good method to use on [[Heroic]] and Legendary difficulty settings, especially as you have to face more than Tartarus at the very end.
 
 
*Note: it is also possible to fight him with a Spectre using a similar method that involves climbing the outside edge of the structure with a hi-jacked [[Spectre]].
