==...Too Quiet (Mission Start)==

===Silent. But Deadly.===

As you start this mission, you're on a cliff side ledge with Jun advancing stealthily (as stealthily as a Spartan in a half ton of MJOLNIR armor can be). Arm your [[M6G Personal Defense Weapon System|pistol]], you will not need your Sniper Rifle here. You will encounter an [[Sangheili Major|Elite Major]] with his back to you. Slowly advance and assassinate him. ~~On Legendary~~, ~~don't hold down the melee button or you will alert all~~ the ~~other Covenant in the area, although if you~~ jump ~~assassinate it~~ seems ~~that it can~~ be ~~done~~. ~~Use your pistol~~ to ~~clear out~~ the [[Unggoy|Grunts]] and [[Kig-yar|Jackals]]. Leave the [[Sangheili Ultra|Elite Ultra]] for last. Jun will help a little thinning out the enemies, and his sniper fire will force the Ultra back into the rocks. This is your cue to move down the hillside. quickly step up and grab the [[Armor Abilities#Active Camo|Active Camouflage]]. Activate it and slowly move around the rocks until you are behind the Ultra and assassinate him. This takes a bit of work, but is well worth it, since you're going to need every round in your Sniper Rifle that you can get. Before you advance here, let your active camo recharge. It's going to come in very handy in the next section.

Slowly advance and assassinate him. For reference, the jump assassination seems to be the quietest of the available assassination animations; the others have a chance of waking the nearby Grunts. If you'd rather not take a chance, use the standard melee to instantly and silently kill the Elite. Assassinate as many [[Unggoy|Grunts]] and [[Kig-yar|Jackals]] as you can.
