Mission 24: Hunt for the Cult Leader

Hunt for the Cult Leader is the twenty-fourth mission of Halo: Spartan Assault. Completing the level without using any vehicles or turrets unlocks the Foot Soldier achievement.

Introduction
In the hours since launching their attack, the Covenant cultists had established themselves in a long ice-covered gorge between Merg Vol's camp and the Forerunner Structure, setting up an almost-impregnable position.

With Merg Vol's camp neutralized, Spartan Palmer made her way to the Forerunner structure. The Covenant troops there were Merg Vol's most devout followers and threw themselves at her mercilessly. Palmer would have to battle her way through heavy opposition. And before she could confront Merg Vol himself, she first needed to deal with his lieutenants.
