At the beginning of the [[Halo 2]] level, [[Metropolis (Level)|Metropolis]] ([[Easy]] difficulty is the only practical way to attempt it), kill all of your allies. <b>It is not necessary to kill the enemies on the bridge</b>. Simply driving past them, is sufficient to obtain the Scarab gun, but if you are playing on a higher difficulty, you may have to do so. At the point where the two extra allies show up on the bridge, the first two Banshees show up. Saving as many Banshees as possible will not help later as they tend to disappear once you enter the tunnel.  The only practical way to have a backup in case you fail is to lure a [[Banshee]] into the tunnel, get a checkpoint and have the Banshee stuck in some convenient place (such as between two trucks/cars).  Be sure to kill the marines that come on the [[Warthog]].  Next, clear the tunnel ahead. Stop, once you reach the closed section of the roadway and have to detour off into the pipes. (Make sure to kill the sniper in there before heading back.) This will leave the tunnel enemy free, making it easier to work a Banshee down the tunnel to the spot needed. This is where the [[Sputnik Skull]] may come in handy.

Because your melees make objects move further, it will be easier to maneuver the Banshee where you need it. Return to the end of the bridge and move a [[tank]] to road on the bridge. Land a [[Banshee on top of the tank and then drive the tank down the tunnel. When you reach the first road block, you will need to position the Banshee on the top of the ramp to the right. It is important that you don't attempt to fly the Banshee once in the tunnel. It will cause you to die. You are not able to fly the Banshee into the tunnel due to an invisible wall. Now by hitting the Banshee you can maneuver it through the walk way at the top of the ramp and past the road block. To get the [[Banshee]] through the walk ways and end tunnel it may be necessary to shoot off the wings. To do this use either a [[Plasma Rifle]],[[Battle Rifle]] or a [[Sniper Rifle System 99C-S2 Anti-Matériel|Sniper Rifle]] and shoot single shots until the wings are deformed. Don't hit the [[Banshee]] too many times in succession. Allow it to rest between attacks, or it will blow it up. Two melees is the most that the Banshees can usually take without needing to rest.

Work the [[Banshee]] past the second road block, by forcing it up the wall to the right and through the walk way again. Force the Banshee into the tunnel on the right and up the first ramp in the tunnel. You need to position the Banshee (once on the platform at the top of the ramp) so that it is facing into the next tunnel. Your Banshee should be upright and you should be able to walk up to it and see the "''Hold X to pilot Banshee''" message. Now force the Banshee, into the tunnel by using well placed and strategic hits. Once the "Loading ..." message appears you need to enter the Banshee before it disappears, If you don't make it you will have to revert to last check point and clear the tunnel again. If the Banshee is destroyed, it is necessary to go back and retrieve another and force it down the tunnel the same way.
