Drop into the pit, bust out the sword, and use it to finish the two [[Elite]]s that dropped from the [[Phantom]] while you were getting over here. Then jump up onto the fallen pillar to your left. There will be a space through which you can jump to get to the next area. The [[Marine]]s can't follow you through here, but that only means they have to take the long way around, giving you some stealth time. There's a [[Jackal]] sniper hidden among the crates here, but the sword will end his reign of terror. | Drop into the pit, bust out the sword, and use it to finish the two [[Elite]]s that dropped from the [[Phantom]] while you were getting over here.

Whew. On to our last gondola. This gondola is the site of two and a half battles, and they're all fairly tricky, so stock up on guns. Get all the shotguns, [[energy sword]]s, [[plasma pistols]], [[sniper rifle]]s, [[rocket launcher]]s, [[beam rifle]]s, [[battle rifle]]s and [[carbine]]s that you can find onto the gondola.

Then, give your [[Marine]]s sniper weapons (preferably ones low on ammo, so you don't have to use them), grab the rocket launcher instead of your sword, and take off. Almost immediately, two [[Banshee]]s will show up behind the gondola. As they are so lethally damage-dealing, you'll want a bit of cover to unleash the awesome power of the tracking rocket on them. Two rockets each should do the trick. | ||

There are two [[ranger Elite]]s and four [[Grunt]]s here. Two of the [[Grunt]]s have [[fuel rod guns]], so I'd suggest boarding the other gondola, using the rocket launcher's remaining ammo to clear a path, and close with the [[fuel rod gun]]s [[Grunt]]s before they can deal much damage. If you did this in vidmaster-perfect style, you should have gotten one or both Rangers confused enough that they're just sitting and staring at nothing--easy targets for a skilled sniper like yourself. | ||

Once everything on the far gondola is dead, hop back on to your own and continue. You have but two battles left on your arduous journey. The next one is actually remarkably pleasant, but the one after that is boring, difficult, drawn-out and contrived. | ||

There are a couple of [[Grunt]]s mounting a defense outside the temple. Slaughter them, and they'll panic and run. However, they will soon return, having enlisted the aid of two [[Elite]]s, two turret [[Grunt]]s, and two [[Jackal]]s. Use this battle well, as the fun is pretty much over for now. | ||

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. | You can also drop the grenades inside his force field without boarding his throne.

Take them out before engaging the [[Prophet of Regret]]. The best way of doing this is to run back up the side ramps and look out for them on the top level. Check your radar as well if you cannot see them from this higher elevated vantage point. And lastly don’t forget to MOVE! Otherwise the pesky but cute little [[grunt]]s will find you an easy target for [[plasma grenade]] shelling." | ||
And for those of use with slightly "less machine-like timing than Robert D. Perez", Sid Fleischmann has posted another possible tactic. | And for those of use with slightly "less machine-like timing than Robert D. Perez", Sid Fleischmann has posted another possible tactic. | ||

|I found…easier ways of doing [the Regret boss-fight] that are much quicker [than normal strategies] if you do them right. First is done by yourself. You need [an energy] sword and for mental aid, a plasma pistol. The pistol is for the elites, all you do is overcharge and slice. Now for the Prophet. Lunge at the prophet, and board the second after you 'hear' a successful hit. You will apparently board and cut him at the same time! This can even result in one hit kills! | |||

Indeed, both strategies work, and are far quicker than the normal way. However, since both require a decent amount of luck, it is generally safest to use the 'noobish' but deadly strategy I've outlined above. | Indeed, both strategies work, and are far quicker than the normal way.

Another strategy you could use involves the | Another strategy you could use involves the rocket launcher. When you get into his throne room, make sure you have at least two rockets left. Go in, lock on to his chair from the ledge in front of the entrance, and fire the rockets. After both rockets have hit their target, jump onto his chair and punch him to death. It will only take about two punches to kill him. | ||
Once your enemy finally goes down, watch the pretty cinematic. Congratulations are in order. | Once your enemy finally goes down, watch the pretty cinematic. Congratulations are in order. | ||
