This is a walkthrough for the level [[Cortana (level)|Cortana]], structured for play on [[Legendary]] difficulty with notes for lower difficulty levels. Cortana is the penultimate level of ''[[Halo 3]]'', and arguably one of the most difficult of the franchise. Your mission as stated is to find [[Cortana]] on the [[High Charity]], free her from the [[Gravemind]] and eliminate the [[The Flood|Flood]]. | This is a walkthrough for the level [[Cortana (level)|Cortana]], structured for play on [[Legendary]] difficulty with notes for lower difficulty levels.

Your most valuable pieces of [[equipment]] in this level are [[Deployable Cover]]s and [[Bubble Shield]]s. [[Cloaking]] is also handy but extremely rare. It is recommended that you always have a Deployable Cover with you. [[Grenade]]s are also your friends here; [[Type-1 Anskum-pattern plasma grenade|Plasma Grenades]] are very effective against [[Flood ranged form|Flood Ranged Forms]] and [[Flood carrier form|Flood Carrier Forms]], and [[M9 High-Explosive Dual-Purpose Grenade|Fragmentation Grenades]] will thin out large groups of Flood and bring down shields on any shielded [[Flood combat form|Flood Combat Forms]]. Beware, though: if you have bad aim, you will be penalized in this level. [[Flood blister|Flood Blisters]] line High Charity's walls and if you are inaccurate you will unleash torrents of [[Pod infector]]s that will make you waste valuable ammunition and probably kill you. Once you've killed all the Flood in a room, melee their corpses to prevent re-animation of them. | Your most valuable pieces of [[equipment]] in this level are [[Deployable Cover]]s and [[Bubble Shield]]s.

Using [[Halo 3 skulls|Skulls]] on this level is not a good idea for inexperienced players, but using the Catch skull provides you with a distinct advantage, as the Flood do not use grenades, but upon death, they will almost always provide them with this skull active. | Using [[Halo 3 skulls|Skulls]] on this level is not a good idea for inexperienced players, but using the Catch skull provides you with a distinct advantage, as the Flood do not use grenades, but upon death, they will almost always provide them with this skull active. | ||
