==Objectives==
===Escort the first sniper into position===
[[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan]] [[Edward Davis]] and three [[UNSC Marine Corps|UNSC Marine]] snipers are standing in a small valley leading into a large clearing. As the four progress, they encounter two [[Stealth Sangheili]] and succeed in killing them. As they proceed, the group finds a parked {{Pattern|Ru'swum|Phantom}}, guarded by several [[Unggoy Minor]]s. Davis and the snipers quickly eliminate them. As they pass the Phantom, a cliff is visible nearby. The first sniper takes position at the cliff and begins to fire at enemies down below.

===Escort the second sniper into position===
After passing the Phantom, Davis and the snipers engage in a small firefight against two [[Sangheili Minor]]s and several more Unggoy. Eventually, Davis and the snipers kill their opponents. The three continue through a small valley and discover two [[Kig-Yar Minor]]s on patrol. The Spartan quickly takes out the Jackals. Two more Kig-Yar Minors, alerted, see the oncoming humans and attack, but are eventually killed as well. The group soon comes across a second cliff, guarded by four Unggoy Minors. After Davis and the snipers wipe out the Unggoy, the second sniper takes position on the cliff.

===Escort the third sniper into position===
As Davis and the remaining Marine continue through a narrow valley, a [[suicide attack|suicidal]] Unggoy Minor rushes at the duo but is quickly killed. After exiting the valley, a Kig-Yar Minor attacks them but is defeated. From the west, a Sangheili Minor leads a [[lance]] of three Unggoy Minors, followed shortly by a second Sangheili Minor, and attacks Davis. Eventually, Davis kills the Covenant forces and continues east. As the Spartan and sniper near the third cliff, they are ambushed by a [[Sangheili Major]] and a third Stealth Sangheili. While Davis engages the Elites, the sniper takes position at the cliff.

===Clear the path to the Forerunner structure===
With all UNSC snipers in position, Davis takes out the ambush party and their reinforcements. As he makes his way north, he is attacked by a fourth Stealth Sangheili, but he manages to eliminate it. After continuing through the valley, a Sangheili Minor, Major, and Stealth Elite, attack the Spartan, but Davis kills them all. Beyond the Elites, a {{Pattern|Kewu Umppi'pa'|citadel turret}} attacks Davis. The turret is protected by numerous Unggoy Minors, including a suicidal Grunt and one Minor manning a {{Pattern|Rizsheda|Shade}} turret. After Davis destroys the plasma turret and the Unggoy guards, two more Stealth Sangheili arrive and attack the Spartan. After he kills them both, a final Stealth Sangheili charges at Davis, but is quickly killed. With all Covenant personnel in the area killed, Davis continues north.
