The Library (Level): Difference between revisions

Move forward past the two big vents in the wall and look back behind you to your left. Tucked away in the corner is the first you'll see of a new form of the Flood. This is the carrier form. Following in a great Bungie tradition, this enemy's only attack is to hobble towards you and explode. They release several infection Flood when they do this as well. So if you're anywhere nearby not only do you get your shields knocked out by the explosion, but you'll also immediately get pwned by the infection forms. Fortunately they're really slow. So not only can you get away from them pretty easily, but you can also lead their friends into the explosion when they do go off. Two rounds from the pistol will detonate them quite nicely. So whenever you see a whole mess of combat forms near a carrier, put a couple of bullets into him and BOOM! He takes out all his pals for you. If you want to save the ammo you can just run right past them as well. They flop over and start to blow as you get close, but by the time they actually explode you've run past them. Running up and jumping over them works well too. One thing that does not work well is blowing them up with a grenade. That tends to send them flying around the room like little bomblets. One will inevitably come down right next to you and explode.  

You have one last fight ahead before you're done with the first floor. And you get some help this time. Move along and a large group of Flood will come down the hall after you while a group of the Monitor's Sentinels move in from the side to help. Plant a few grenades right in the middle of the incoming Flood then duck back into the area the Sentinels came from for cover. Hopefully the Sentinels will take out the rest of the Flood for you. Once the battle stops, go see who won. If there are Flood left, they should be easy prey for you by now. Scavenge through the bodies thoroughly then move ahead onto the lift to the second floor.
