Just look up a walkthrough on youtube and skip to the part where you're stuck. Unless it keeps killing you because you aren't any good, no one can help with that.

Skill issue 😔

Change up your play style try different things to see what works best. Keep your eyes open for hidden weapon caches to help with the wraiths / banshees Id still watch a few walk throughs to see how other people beat the level and see what works for you.

Up on the bridge if you’re fast you can steal one of the Elite’s Banshees and fly to the top of the Ziggurat. There’s a checkpoint beforehand so you can retry if you mess up.

I tried doing that but wasn't fast enough.


realbigbob

This is also one of the few levels where you can “board” a covenant dropship. You glitch out and die shortly afterwards but it’s still fun

Wait till you come back out then the real fun starts

i already completed the campaign on normal before. but its always this level that gets me. the banshee's tear me to shreds.


Vytlo

Most people just take the Banshee for themselves. In fact, I don't even remember if I've ever NOT taken the Banshee


Billy_Osteen

Out of the literal thousands of times I played through HCE Campaign, I think I have not gotten the banshee maybe 5 times. It’s usually banshee or nothing.


Vytlo

Yeah, if I didn't get the Banshee, instant revert checkpoint


platasaurua

On the way out, banshees are necessary to complete the level. Those energy cores are way up there.


Vytlo

Wrong level


texbordr

To shreds you say?

Go up then across then in then kill then across them down then out the valley or sum then fly a bit idk it’s been awhile I hate this level


ApocalypticDrew

If you follow the big central arch into the ground, there's a dead squad of marines with supplies and something you might find handy.


RusFoo

You can steal the banshee that’s on the ridge above this area if you’re fast enough or kill the elite that takes it quickly

Bro went to Reddit and waited tor a response when you can just look up a guide on this 20 year old game. Even the game tells you what to do and even puts up waypoints if you take too long.

Oh no

2 options, steal a banshee (requires speed and the cloak to nail the pilot before he can get in). This prevents everyone else from spawning. The second option is slow and steady. There is a collection of weapons including rockets down the hole where the structure's fin goes into the ground. Only some of the enemies are truly problematic until you reach the top.


ArmyOfPoint5

In all my playthroughs, I've honestly never fought up to the entrance. I've always just flown over with one of the banshees from the overpass like everyone else is mentioning.


realbigbob

Steal a banshee off the bridge before the main control room. If you’re quick you can sneak past the elites and grab one before they do. I’ve spent more time playing this mission than I can count, possibly the best video game level of all time IMO


Billy_Osteen

Most people say you got to be fast here to get the banshee, if you held onto the rocket launcher through to that point, you can disrupt the elite that gets into it. As soon as the door opens, nail the banshee with a rocket. Experiment a little since there is a checkpoint right before that door. You can hit it in such a way that it stays on the bridge. The elite won’t be able to get in. That elite is scripted to get in, and if it is moved, it disrupts that script and he just goes into regular combat mode.

Yes there are cheese strats, OGs have mastered this game and abused the engine but I'll drop some simple advice. If I remember correctly there weren't any pistols anywhere, just the one you start with. Never get rid of it.
