| - The level starts the player off at the top of a cliff with a Plasma Rifle. Walk through the path to meet the corpse of an Elite and an Energy Sword lying next to it. Strafe over it to pick up the Energy Sword and a few grenades. Continue on and there will be a few Brutes which are easily killed with the Energy Sword. The pathway continues to be infested with Brutes. Camouflage, lunge-kill the Minor Brute from behind, then move forward and attack the pair. More Brutes will advance, so take cover and use any available Plasma Grenades. When available, swap the Plasma Rifle for a Brute Shot. Continue up the hill, killing any Brutes on the path with the Brute Shot. Midway along the path, a Spec-ops Elite with an Energy Sword will assist in taking out the Brutes. After they are all dead, a set of pods will open with three Elites. There will be two Minor Elites with Plasma Rifles and a Zealot with an Energy Sword. Give one of the Minor Elites a Brute Shot for support. Follow the Elite that helped kill the Brutes into a room. The room will lead you into another full of allied Grunts, enemy Drones, Jackals, and Brutes. Use grenades and the Brute Shot to kill all enemies on the first level. The Brute Shot is a formidable melee weapon so it may be worth keeping even if it's out of ammo. Find a ramp to the second level. Kill all the enemies here. Consider swapping an empty Energy Sword for a Brute Plasma Rifle when available. Go up the ramp that leads to a door guarded by Drones and Brutes. Take care of them with the Brute Plasma Rifle or Brute Shot. Enter through the door. Below should be some Brutes and Jackals. Take them out with the Brute Plasma Rifle, Brute Shot, or grenades. Take care when using grenades around the Zealot; he dies easily when hit with a grenade. Continue through two doors which will lead into a room with several ledges. A small force consisting of Jackals and Brutes is waiting below. On the left side of the first ledge are two Power Cores along with a weapon holder. If you stand somewhat left of center between the Cores, face very slightly from the right of center between the cores and then melee the upper part, you can knock both of them down, with one heading for the Jackals far from you and the other careening to the Methane Tank and other Jackals right below you. This results in a spectacular explosion and wipes out all the Jackals on the ledge. After that, toss grenades down or use the Brute Plasma Rifle to lay waste any stragglers remaining. Jump down and face the Brutes. It is more effective using a Brute Shot melee than Brute Plasma Rifle bursts. Jump down again and take out all Brutes there. Once they lie dead, a second wave of Brutes will come out of the door. Be sure to pick up any available Brute Shot ammo. Head inside the door and replace your Brute Plasma Rifle with an Energy Sword lying on the dead corpses of the Elites. Continue through the doorway to find several Jackals and Brutes, one of which is manning a turret. Camouflage and take out the Brute on the turret with a Plasma Grenade or Energy Sword, and the man the turret. Kill the other enemies with the Energy Sword or Brute Shot. Continue through the room and pickup a Fuel Rod Gun with extra ammo available behind a crate.
