Tartarus sucks, though. Even just setting up with the vehicle WITHOUT skulls, died so many times. Learned real quick you can die on the bottom platform JUST BY CROUCHING.

[@noblenormie1179]

@@Lucifronz you could’ve just flown a banshee in there

[@no-barknoonan1335]

@@noblenormie1179 If you get the spectre in there, you can drop off the 3 johnsons then go back to the safe area where Johnson lies way in the back away from Brute nades, and the Johnson's can kill Tartarus while you AFK. I like to unload my weapons into tartarus from afar just to speed it up, takes like 5 minutes when I do it, it's faster and safer than Banshee since the brute reinforcements like to toss a lot of nades. Spectre is fairly easy to practice getting it in there, and once you figure it out it's consistent every time. If anyone makes it thru Cairo station and Gravemind, the Great Journey is a cakewalk compared to those missions. Tartarus is no problem, he's easier than Regret.

[@Cameron-m9g]

[@I3oo1ve]

It's probably a reference to CE were Cortana used the Halos teleportation grid, but it required using the shield. The cutscene before the level had the Gravemind teleporting you, likely using the same method Cortana did taking more power since High Charity wasn't on Delta Halo. Or it's just more evidence of how unfinished Halo 2 is

One small thing is to blame for that, enemy awareness, theres a skull that instantly makes enemies aware of your presence even if they cant hear orsee you and that is why they open fire as soon as youre within their firing range which is about 13 to 15 world units respectively(or 30-40m irl)

As someone with zero experience with any Halo game aside from 3 prior to the collection it's astounding how 343 managed to fuck things up. The sound mixing in 2 in particular in the MCC is so awful that you can't even hear when your shield has been depleted and of course this LASO challenge seems just like Brutal mode in the Uncharted remasters in that it obviously weren't playtested at all, not to mention in multiplayer you respawn in the path of the enemy so often that it's a joke.

[@FlyinRaptorJesus]

Is single player laso doable? Lol

[@Lucifronz]

This level is absolute bullshit and is enough to make you reconsider Halo 2 LASO. The start is bad, but the prison lift on the way down is what makes you want to stalk Bungie and 343 in a long string of horrific murders with only "Gravemind" written in blood on their fucking walls. The enemies see you before you even get to the bottom and one of the grunts generally has a needler. If he doesn't needle one of you to death, you'll get stuck by a grenade by one of the brutes. It's virtually impossible to get past without the prison skip and there are no alternatives to either using the skip or dying on the way down. Like the IWHBYD skull in Halo 2, it's pure luck whether you fucking get it or not. Unlike the skull, it's a royal pain in the ass and you're probably not going to get it. Halo 2 LASO can fuck itself, I'm never redoing it. At least Tartarus finally fucking died without the vehicle glitch. It didn't take as long as I expected when I waited for Johnson to shoot his shields down (three direct shots) and just carbine'd Tartarus in the face while his shields were down.
