The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Reach level)/Walkthrough: Difference between revisions

You're on your own, but there's work to be done. Equip the Sniper Rifle, there is a [[Sangheili Zealot|Elite Zealot]] on the far gangway near where you came in. This is what you've been saving the Sniper Rifle for. Ventilate him, it should take three quick headshots, you MUST be precise. Reload, a second Zealot will exit, you should send him on the [[Greatest Journey]] the same way. Reload, a third Zealot may appear at the door, if you have the shot, take it. If not, leave him for now. Pick up a DMR if you can find one, otherwise a Magnum will do. Clear out the Grunts from a safe distance. Once you don't see any more Grunts move to the doorway where the Zealots and Grunts came from. There is an [[Huragok|Engineer]] here. Hit him with a few shots from the DMR or use the Plasma Launcher if you still have it to take care of it. This will draw out the last Zealot if you didn't kill him with the Sniper Rifle. Pick up a Plasma Pistol and noob combo him. If you were unsuccessful with the Sniper Rifle, the noob combo is your best chance. Do not try and engage a Zealot in close quarters if possible. They often dual-wield Plasma Rifles and are excellent shots with a very powerful melee. Coupled with their very strong shields, you will always be disadvantaged in a close quarters battle. Strafe and use the Plasma Pistol and DMR to chip their shields away. Once all three Zealots are down, your last individual enemy is ahead, a [[Sangheili Field Marshall|Elite Field Marshall]] with a Fuel Rod Gun. He's a good shot with it and will put a shot into your face if you charge him. Try using the overcharge shot to pop his shields, if you miss, just try again. Once you knock out his shields he'll drop the Fuel Rod Gun and pull out an Energy Sword. Don't panic. If you're in close, you can run around behind him and assassinate him while he does the animation to pull out the sword. If not, just wait till he starts charging and headshot him.
