A moment of silence for all those who started this level with the red energy sword 🙏

[@timothyreavis1187]

It look cool ok haha

[@HardcoreSuprise]

Noooo lmao

[@Juanixtec]

I actually killed him with that sword.

[@Killjoy4106]

MANNNNNN!!!!!! I’m with Timothy it looked cool 😂

[@A2Kaid]

I killed him with the blood sword at the end.

[@ThaTurminator]

I doubt this video is on Legendary. He didn’t even once do an untelegraphed jump half way across the map to insta-kill you in a split second.

[@arminbahely1352]

When You hit him with a heavy rocket launcher like skewer, he stops jumping or throwing gerenades for a while

[@danielcardenas2243]

Ikr hahaha this guy every time i get him to his hammer he insta kill me by jumping across the entire map

[@govardhanposina17]

I mean that shit happens on Normal too, I'm guessing IGN was playing a "review friendly" version of the game?

[@Tripl3Cherri3s]

He was lunging halfway across the map at me and sprinting the whole time on normal at the end when he had his hammer lol.

[@parunox1702]

I’m not gonna freaking lie after 40 attempts with this boss fight on legendary it was the most hardest boss fight I’ve ever seen

I swear to god, he didn't do that stupid instant lunge attack once for you.

Pro tip for anybody struggling with the second phase of this fight. Go to Audio settings and turn voice and music down to zero. Guaranteed to reduce your desire to end your life by 75%.

2 hours of agony with no room for error and he can half court lunge at you if you're a second too slow. Hated this fight on Legendary...

[@dsdy1205]

@Alex Luca I was yesterday years old when I discovered you can literally thruster over his head when he's swinging his hammer, and it's a 100% effectiveness dodge

[@Cup_70]

That is definitely not how it went when I did it lmao. He insta kills you off the start before you can even move, best I could do was immediately grapple upwards.

[@nicolae-alexandruluca7853]

Use thrusters to move to the left, you have no idea how clutch they are in this fight, in many fights actuslly

This fight was fine, up until the grav hammer phase. Literally whoever designed the bosses with grav hammers is an absolute moron. They literally designed a boss who can run faster than you, who can jump across the room, and literally kill you in 1 shot on NORMAL MODE. Absolute trolls.

[@TheBtremb]

343 shot themselves in the foot this game

[@dsdy1205]

There's actually a happy middle range where Escharum doesn't lunge you but can't reach you with his hammer and will run towards you. The lunge is supposed to punish people who hang out 1 mile away and snipe him, forcing them closer

[@AggressiveNugget]

I just danced around him with the sword until it ran out, then shot him about 12 times with the mangler (Legendary difficulty). After about 4 hours of trying to actually kill him that is.

[@Barytyrannus]

God fucking damn it. IDK how the fuck yall beat this shit on Legendary, I still havent been able to do it on fucking normal.

[@00mrmakimaki]

This is how i beat him on legendary. As soon as the you get the controls drop a dropshield and grapple away from him. Pick up a pluse carbine and needler. Use the pluse carbine to kill the shield and the needler to damage him. For the reactor, use the shock rifle to destroy it, as it only takes 2 shot. Then, repeat the combo using the needler and pluse rifle. Round a corner and drop a dropwall and throw as many nades/explosive you have as he turns the corner if you ran out of needler ammo. For the final part, do dont let him near you. Use all the power weapons and grapple to kill him. If he is too close he will use the jumping atk.

[@MainFaze3]

I used the needler on him as well. Needler too good against him.

[@sentience3033]

Needler & Shock weapon is good against him

[@joeykohn4940]

I finally did it. Legendary campaign is completed!

[@A2Kaid]

How many hours?

@@A2Kaid I did it in 7 hbu? Was just wondering I’m not the guy u asked tho

Little do you know about the gladiator games that come right after this Mwahaha Suffer plebian!

[@roganhinchliffe4442]

Must’ve died over 100 times so far. I say so far because I’ve still not killed him. Used all the power weapons except for the skewer straight away and now I’m left to just grappling around with a mangled shooting him once then attempting to dodge his attacks that you’d literally need the reactions of the master chief to dodge them.

[@nicolae-alexandruluca7853]

It's easier to hang back when he uses the scrap cannon and just shoot him from the sidelines, then when he uses the hammer it's best to stay out of open areas or the long halls especially if there's quite the distance between you 2.Also I find it that when he does a regular jump towards you you can actually run towards him and dash, it basically helps avoid getting hit by him as you dash underneath him, that's how I eventually took him doan

[@tobypotter2160]

Escharum's audio logs always sound like he just woke up.

[@josedelgadillo6832]

9:15 to skip to the final stage of the fight Fuck 343 for this lol

[@ChefandTheArbistor]

I beat this guy with nothing but two sticks and a rock. And we had to share the rock

[@blaketnbs6018]

Yea don't use the power weapons until the end otherwise this fight gets harder, gun Faze is actually easy then the hammer faze he leaps like cazy and I shots you, one for the best ways to help anyone is to use the shock pistol for the gun faze I felt like did best damage

[@TheBtremb]

[@danielcawtherley1864]

Im not having that was legendary I'm trying on heroic and he does nothing but sprint after me and jump half way across the map.

[@rookiebear1124]

This fight goes from easy boring to straight up BS in the her phase

[@xino951]

I don't get it, here the sheild is actually doing something while my sheild is just useless, I maxed it early on the game! Worthless upgrade

[@Juanixtec]

I was so close to get Escharum on Heroic on my first try, I was absolutely focused and moving extremely fast and It was glorious but a single misclick when he had the hammer ended up killing me, I managed to do Jega on the first try and I was hyped, It was a Bummer but I killed him on the second attempt. The best thing was. I was determined on killing him with the Red sword of his friend, and I did it. At the end, I found a power weapon ammo box on the next level and I choose to kill the Harbinger with the same Red sword.

[@SuperExorzist]

try this on legendary

[@elementalbrickproductions1588]

Same, I really didn’t like how I beat jega so easily on heroic

[@Juanixtec]

@@elementalbrickproductions1588 I mean, jega is Fair, perhaps too fair as a Boss, He needs more complicated patterns and more things that make you say "THAT BASTARD PLAYED ME GOOD"

[@lukethomas.125]

I reckon this video fight was scripted by 343 to avoid Escharum flying through the air and ending you before you can blink. I’ve done Legendary twice so far, I always use the thruster when he gets ready to jump

[@SlippyMcDervish]

I like how master chief is as powerful as an asthmatic infant.

[@LeahThe3th]

The hardest part of this entire fight is the opening, because on legendary he'll usually kill you in 5 shots since he's POINT BLANK INFRONT OF YOU, if you don't have invisi-thrusters, just try to melee him as soon as you can, potentially by using the bloodblade from the previous bossfights to instantly lunge after the cutscene, once you get past him the bossfight is a cakewalk.

[@mattdrolet17]

Yup… can’t even get past the cutscene he mows me down with the scrap cannon every time

[@LeahThe3th]

@@mattdrolet17 As stated, try and use a melee weapon if you have one on hand before the bossfight, and if not, just keep trying with the thrusters until you get lucky.

[@mattdrolet17]

@@LeahThe3th Did that and beat him. Used the blood blade and swung at him with the grappler then darted away 😂 soon as his shield was down 2 cinder shot rounds killed him

[@Keig00]

Damn, congrats. I can't get past him no matter what I do...such a pain in the ass

[@dustindecker6396]

I got my shit rocked by him for 30 minutes. Kept trying to use the bloodsword 😅

[@mercury2157]

I made sure not to use the bloodsword until the final blow. Suffice to say it felt glorious as FUCK.

[@thermalrain_yt9725]

I used the bloodsword during the rocket part just wait around a corner hit him and run sometimes you can get 2 hits. But the damn hammer part is dumb he just leaps across the room instantly killing me. It's not like this video at all he never just runs at me like this shows. Always leaps

[@confusedindividual]

Once you realize how effective the disruptor pistol is against bosses, options open up.

[@matthewbrown9336]

Listening to this comment and spamming the disruptor was the only way I could get past this boss. Honestly horrible boss. the un-dodgeable lunge attack was so cheap

[@confusedindividual]

@@matthewbrown9336 It is possible to dodge his lunge with the thruster. However, the margin for error is really small. You have to nail both the timing and the relative direction.

[@Herbivor7]

I still haven’t beat this boss fight. I’ve been playing a ton of MP

[@MainFaze3]

Maybe i got lucky, but it only took me 1 try with this guy on legendary. Shock rifle for the exposed couplings, then I just ran and used needlers when it was time to shoot em up. Needlers OP for this boss.

[@nja3224]

Needler for Escherum and shock rifle for Relays are a good combination. That seemed to work best for me.

[@wboughyman]

Damn, jolly good

[@Jandle_shxdow]

Legendary is hard but I ain’t giving up

[@Hokiebird428]

Usually I give IGN shit for horrible gameplay, but the person playing in this video did an absolutely admirable job, especially at the last part where Escharum uses the hammer.

[@nicolae-alexandruluca7853]

He wasn't easy hokie but I did find it easier to use the thrusters, espeeeeeeecially when he uses the lunge, of course even that is risky cause if you use it to early he can actually track you mid air and hit you

[@Hokiebird428]

@@nicolae-alexandruluca7853 As demonstrated, way, _way easier_ to just grapple over his head in the middle of the open room, spin around and shoot him.

[@gabethebabe3337]

Of fucking course 343 decides to make him an unfair bullet sponge that never loses aggro and always manages to get up close. I was looking forward to this fight and it's some of the cheapest shit. It's even worse because I play on controller so I can't cycle through equipment very fast. They really needed to make him slower or reward the player with extra damage if they keep the bloodblade

[@888Morrow_]

Fr I kept the blood blade but that thing is useless lmao

[@sallen3172]

All you have to do for any of these bosses is stack the blast/plasma/heatwave coils up. All the coils you can find. Stack them in a pile. Time it right when the boss steps close to them. Blow him to hell.

[@sallen3172]

Mind you. You have to do this before the fight starts.

no, they're not fun, and they're 70% luck 30% skill at most. anyone who says otherwise is wrong. guaranteed noone play tested it. just amped up the settings for legendary and moved on. thanks 343 for the bullet sponging 1 hit kill lunge across the map enemies, thats exactly what we wanted
