Thel, however, knocked Johnson unconscious and engaged in a firefight with Keyes until Tartarus arrived. The Chieftain was able to levitate Miranda towards himself with the hammer, knocking her unconscious.

The Fist of Rukt was one of Tartarus' advantages, and despite being heavily outnumbered, the massive area effect damage was able to send most of the [[Sangheili]] into the air, killing them, and stalwart Sangheili that attempted to attack Tartarus at close range with [[Type-1 energy sword|energy swords]] were beaten to death by the massive Fist of Rukt.
