On the other side of the wall, the room slopes upward to another similar wall, with a door behind it. At the top of the slope, a [[Grunt Heavy]] mans a stationary gun. There are also two Minor Brutes up there who will peek out and fire Carbine rounds at you. Use your Carbine to kill them quickly.

Another set of double doors leads into the Mausoleum of the Arbiter, which you saw in an early cutscene. Cortana gives you some good advice: "You might think about sitting this one out." Hang around the door and watch. Three or four Ultra Elites are on the ledge battling with a group of Brutes in the lower middle area of the room. One of them is holding a [[Fuel Rod Gun]]. To even up the odds, snipe the Elite that has a the Fuel Rod Gun, and then let the rest of them just fight while the best music of the game plays; or run up and touch the Ultras so they will take out their Energy Swords and finish off the Brutes faster. After most of the combatants are dead, a pair of Hunters and some more Brutes will enter, and pump up the fight for a while. Look for an opportunity to snipe one of the Hunters in the back, which evens out the battle and ensures that you'll face no more than one Hunter when they're all done.  

Quickly back up, then take out the [[Jiralhanae|Brute]] [[Honor Guard Brute|Honor Guards]].  Kill the [[Type-33 Guided Munitions Launcher|Needler]] [[Unggoy|Grunts]], and then any Grunts with [[Type-25 Directed Energy Pistol|Plasma Pistols]].  But leave one Grunt alive to prevent the next wave from spawning.  The enemies in this room can kill you very quickly, but it's possible to enter some of the corridors from which they spawn, specifically the ones on the ends.  To do so, walk alongside the corridors, next to them, until you trigger the doors.  Then you can enter the corridors.  Carry all of the weapons (by [[Dual Wielding|dual-wielding]]) into your corridor of choice, then take out the remaining Grunt and quickly back into your corridor.

The next wave will spawn.  Grab a [[Brute Plasma Rifle]] (and another if you would like) and step forward to trigger the doors to the Council Chamber.  Fire a burst at any enemy you would like, then quickly back in.  Wait for the Brutes and Grunts to stop bombarding the door, then repeat.  When the Brute berserks, kill him with a Needler.  As before, try to leave one Grunt alive to suppress the next wave as you gather all of the weapons that the enemies dropped.

The next section features a few Needler-armed Grunts.  Take them out, then deal with the Brutes and the [[Grunt Heavy]] on the [[Type-52 Directed Energy Support Weapon|Plasma Cannon]].

Two more Honor Guard Brutes will greet you with gunfire; greet them in kind.  Do the same to all of the enemies that spawn on the platform below.  There's a generous amount of Carbine ammo here.  When Cortana prompts you to do so, drop down the [[Gravity Lift]].

Be careful; there is a [[Jackal Sniper]] as well as a regular [[Kig-yar|Jackal]].  Obviously, you want to headshot the sniper before you engage anyone else.  Trade your Needler for the Jackal's [[Type-50 Sniper Rifle System|Beam Rifle]].

Drop your sword and grab the Beam Rifle you dropped earlier.  Enter the next sloping chamber.  Stick and [[No-scoping|no scope]] the [[Mgalekgolo|Hunters]] as quickly as possible.

Open the door to Valley of Tears A.  Let the fight between the Brute and Elite come to an end.  The survivor will enter your room; take him out.  Before you actually enter the Valley, you need to deal with the four snipers.  One is on the platform directly across from you.  Another is on a covered cliff to the left of the first.  A third is on a [[Deployable Lookout Tower]] to the right of your position, and the fourth is next to a drop pod to your left.  Grab a fresh Beam Rifle and snipe the two [[Elite Ranger|Ranger Elites]].  They will die to a single headshot.  The way out of the valley is to the far right.

The last wave contains three Grunts and two Hunters.  Headshot the Grunts, then stick and no scope the Hunters.  If they get onto the center of the bridge, you can flank them by the beams on either side.  Be very careful on the beams; when you dodge the [[Assault Cannon]], it is easy to fall an annoying death.

The Mausoleum itself is too hot for you to charge, so wait for the Covenant to fight.  Kill the survivors (usually Elites).  Now is the time to use your Fuel Rod Gun.  Use a Carbine to kill the Stealth Elites on the far side.  When the [[Honor Guard Councilor]] comes to slice you in half, fire two Fuel Rods to kill him.  Deal with the last few Stealth Elites, then continue to the other bridge (behind the structure that holds the [[Arbiter (Rank)|Arbiter]]'s armor when not in use) to receive the news of [[Flood|your worst nightmare]] in the city and to complete the level.
