Finding your way around Floodgate shouldn't be much of a problem—you're backtracking your footsteps all the way to Lakebed A in the previous level. This is the first mission in which you fight the Flood, making it a new experience when fighting the newly evolved Pure Forms. Keep in mind the useful [[weapons]] when in combat with them and any other Flood, especially on higher difficulties. This is a good starter mission for engaging the Flood. You can test the best technique of dispatching them without dying, because although there are some instructions about where to go and what to do, there are a billion other techniques that work just as well. | Finding your way around Floodgate shouldn't be much of a problem—you're backtracking your footsteps all the way to Lakebed A in the previous level.

The recommended [[Halo 3 | The recommended [[Halo 3 skulls|skulls]] on [[Legendary]] are [[Halo 3 skulls#Tough Luck|Tough Luck]] and [[Halo 3 skulls#Catch|Catch]]. Tough Luck may cost you a few multi-kill bonuses, but [[grenade]]s aren't a vital part of your arsenal during this mission. Catch is, as in all other Flood-only missions, a consequence-free multiplier—the Flood don't use grenades, so leaving it inactivated is a waste. All other skulls except [[Halo 3 skulls#Famine|Famine]] are okay on this mission, so try activating one of them too. You may not want to activate [[Halo 3 skulls#Fog|Fog]] if you aren't skilled at close combat with the Flood. Due to its short length, this level is arguably the easiest level to beat with [[Halo 3 skulls#Iron|Iron]] activated. [[Halo 3 skulls#Mythic|Mythic]] is a consequence-free multiplier, as there are no Covenant enemies present on this level. [[Halo 3 skulls#Tilt|Tilt]] is not recommended on this or any [[cortana (level)|other]] Flood level. | ||
Weapon instructions in this level can be freely followed, as you will receive new weapons after this level - the [[Battle Rifle]] and a [[Sniper rifle|Sniper Rifle]]. | Weapon instructions in this level can be freely followed, as you will receive new weapons after this level - the [[Battle Rifle]] and a [[Sniper rifle|Sniper Rifle]]. | ||

If you're skilled with the Battle Rifle and are trying to get the [[Exterminator]] [[achievement]], you may want to look to the right of the path that is about to be described. There, in the distance, if you are quick enough, you may see several Flood Combat Forms assault a small group of [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]]. They will begin to retreat, though if you fire at them, they may turn to face you, and strafe instead of running away. For quick kills without using a lot of ammo, aim for their chests to kill the Pod infectors that reside inside of them. When you're done with that, proceed as you normally would... | If you're skilled with the Battle Rifle and are trying to get the [[Exterminator]] [[achievement]], you may want to look to the right of the path that is about to be described.

Backtrack down the path you took to get to the Anti-Aircraft Battery. Make your way down the hill, and enter the Storage Area where you previously fought the [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Brute Chieftain]]. There will be a building on your right. Just after the checkpoint—right when a Marine says, "All squads, report!"—a Flood Combat Form will appear on the roof and jump over the street. If you kill this Flood during his jump (or right as he starts to jump), he will drop the [[Halo 3 | Backtrack down the path you took to get to the Anti-Aircraft Battery.

Collect Frag Grenades, a [[Type-2 Energy Weapon/Hammer|Gravity Hammer]], and a [[M90 Close Assault Weapon System|Shotgun]] en route to your first encounter with the Flood. | ||
As you approach the Marines—some of which are gathered behind a pile of sandbags, standing next to weapons lockers—Combat Forms will drop down and start attacking your allies. The safest course of action at this point would be to hang back and wait for the Flood to approach you. Jumping in to save the Marines is a risky decision—seeing as a single Pod infector can make easy work of one, their chances of survival are close to nil, so rushing in an effort to save them will only leave you surrounded by enemies. Make sure you have your Gravity Hammer at the ready, and take full advantage of its splash damage—a single blow can usually wipe out several Combat Forms. The Flood don't carry weapons until later on in the level, so melee weapons are quite useful against them. | As you approach the Marines—some of which are gathered behind a pile of sandbags, standing next to weapons lockers—Combat Forms will drop down and start attacking your allies.
