Interestingly, this is not the fastest (or only) way to kill [[Regret]]. Robert D. Perez has shown those of us with good trigger fingers a quicker way. Note that this is the ''only'' way to kill [[Regret]] when the [[Mythic Skull]] is active (he is talking about Mythic here):

"I’ve jumped (boarded) on the [[Prophet]] of [[Regret]]’s throne exactly 48 times, say again 48 TIMES!! And each jump consists of five melee attacks. All to no avail. The bastard still lives! It was hopelessly disappointing and painfully frustrating to go back to square one after ALL those efforts. Then I simply thought of something out of this inevitability; what would the [[Master Chief]] do in a circumstance such as the one I’m overwhelmed in. Surely there has got to be another way, instead of the 48 plus jumps and five melee attacks per jump. I collected my thoughts and recounted the options I had, had another hard look at the weapons at my disposal.

It then hit me! Nothing can penetrate his immensely resilient force field. Other than the fact that once you jump on him you have the advantage of striking him with your melee attacks. So what to do? Well, it is quite simple; you throw a [[Plasma Grenade]] or a [[Fragmentation Grenade]] on him a split second before you board his throne. Picture it like this, your throwing arm penetrating his force field before you throw the grenades, with this objective the grenades will land or stay inside his force field. Therefore it is important that you throw the grenades inside his force field before you are unable to do so when you board. Remember that our [[Master Chief]] cannot throw or use his weapons when he has actually boarded the throne. Adversely if you throw them too early they will not stick or stay inside the force field. Or as in the [[fragmentation grenade]]s case they’ll simply rebound off his force field, thus musing the already contempt [[Prophet]] of [[Regret]]. At other times, if you are unlucky the [[plasma grenade]]s will also bounce, though feebly off his force field and may end up adhering to you instead, a big no-no to avoid. So you MUST throw the grenades a split second before you latch onto his throne and not a moment too soon.

If done correctly the Plasma/Fragmentation Grenades will drop inside his force field and not fall off. The resulting explosion will then knock him hard, so for added effectiveness commence punching him straight afterward or before the explosion (you’ll only land in two or three punches, as shortly afterward he’ll teleport in a fragile panic).

Don’t worry about getting killed or damaged by the [[plasma grenade]] since the explosion occurs inside of his force field. It will not harm our [[Master Chief]]. Just be sure to throw the grenade before you press and hold on to the ‘X’ button with which to board his throne. If he is at a higher elevation than you are at, then all you need to do is press the 'A' button, throw the grenade and then board him. This is simply a brilliant tactic on Bungie’s forward thinking. You will need to do this about six times to finish him off entirely or maybe more if your grenades do not fall inside his force field. Use your EARS to listen and to home in on the direction he’ll spawn to next. It’ll guarantee and reward your efforts with a far better success rate. Your radar is your best friend in these given circumstances, as the battles to follow are hectic to outwit.

You can also drop the grenades inside his force field without boarding his throne. Run up very close to The [[Prophet]] of [[Regret]]’s throne and throw your grenades at point blank. If done successfully the grenades will drop inside his force field. Please note that this method will not yield the desired effects on every attempt as it is at times hard to judge how close you are to the Prophet of Regret. Amidst all the battle commotion and pandemonium it is especially harder to pull off.
