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.
