In the small antechamber, there is another squad of Unggoy/Kig-Yar. When you stop, switch to your Assault Rifle and get ready to fight. Get on the lift and get down into this descend into the structure. Now go back for your Assault Rifle.īy this point the Marines from earlier should have disappeared, leaving you on your own.

Once the main group has been killed, go in and melee any remaining enemies. Feel free to start firing overcharged shots on anything that moves. Here, you will find one unit of Active Camo) Keep moving, and you should see an explosion, and another group of Unggoy/Kig-Yar being attacked by what seem to be Marines. Jump toward it and hike up along its left side. (When you are on the centre of the tree bridge, look to your right. Go across the tree bridge, and you should see a Shade on the other side.

There is a Kig-Yar nestled in a crook on the other side, so feel free to use an overcharged shot and then melee it. Once they're gone, keep moving until you reach a sort of ramp made of a large tree root. Shoot each one with an overcharged shot, and melee them (to save Pistol ammo). The Kig-Yar tend to stay back, so use your Plasma Pistol against them. The Unggoy are dumb enough to charge straight at you, so switch to your Human Pistol and kill them with a headshot or smack them in the face. There is a small group of Unggoy and Kig-Yar (about six in total). Move ahead and you should see another downed covenant dropship, the Brilliant Gift. There is a path leading up towards the ramp right up the Pelican Hill, there you would get an Active Camo, but it's practically useless unless you like to ambush some Unggoy. On the other hand, those Plasma Pistols are fully charged. A little up ahead, you will find a couple of dead Covenant with two Plasma Pistols and one Needler. Move down the path through the big puddle. In addition, if you are not on Easy the time when you will actually get the shotgun is much later in the level. Fill up with the ammo, on Easy you will always acquire a Shotgun, but in Normal and higher difficulties, Bungie has removed it so just fill up the ammo and continue. This is a lot vaguer place than any level in all the rest of the Halo series, keep your calm, nothing will attack you, just keep track of your motion tracker, and use your flashlight sparingly (It is very easy to get lost on this level, so be sure to retrace your steps).
