When I was fighting Escharum on Legendary on his last phase, he got trapped between some boxes and could not move. It could have been an easy fight but, like him, I wanted it to be a legendary fight with honor. So I took him out of the boxes and fought him for 30 min more. What a fight. I was actually happy that it was a difficult fight

[@WisdomThumbs]

I said I was going to bust his monkey balls going into the campaign. In the end, he was the only boss who lasted more than 45 seconds against me... So I gave him a warrior’s death and spared the balls. Then he got back up and Chief gave him the same respect I wanted to. Felt good.

[@Ambnt21]

Escharum's 2nd phase was easily the hardest legendary fight for me. Those !!HAMMER LUNGES!! left me grappling around for so long, until I could get shots on him through the outer hallways. Felt as if he was breathing down the back of my neck, finding myself physically tucking my butt forward as he chased me down. Hearing the hammer smack behind me would give me a heart attack every time. The dialogue after his death was my favorite in the entire campaign though and well worth the fight. Chief honoring him as someone just trying to do what he sought right.

[@RunningShovel]

Yeah, I would grapple away and have to *immediately* combo in two thrusts because I could see him RIGHT behind me on the motion tracker after my grapple. Dude was a warrior, no doubt. Respect deserved.

[@garrettschrepfer7659]

Use the thrusters

[@daveyjoneslocker4703]

That was by far my favorite boss fight in the game because of how much advanced movement you’re forced to do on legendary. Reminded me of Doom Eternal. Swinging around and bouncing off walls while pumping him full of needles, head tapping him and herring fusion coils at him was such a great time

[@superpulaski9767]

For his second phase I just kept Tarzan swinging over his head with the grapple and shredding him with the AR, worked really well on heroic.

[@austinfowler2707]

I actually found good success thrustering towards him, baiting an attack. When you are further away, he will leap at you a football size length, and smack you, usually instant kill. With the way the hammers work, the safest point is either far away, or to the side or behind the user. Whenever I thrust backwards, either I'd miss the timing and get smacked, or I'd be far enough away that he'd go for a lung. Which you can thruster away, but you will be spent on cool downs. The other thing is that the shotgun and sword will stun him more frequently than other weapons. So it was a combo of thruster, sword, shotgun x2, repeat. I'd grapple for either reload or breathing room. Granted it's on Heroic so I don't know Legendary, but I had gotten to frustrated with trying to Spiderman my way around, just for him to either catch up too quickly to fire a gun, or he'd leap at me from across the room.

[@aggressivelymemeing]

for the chieftain at the end, once you've killed all the enemies except him, you can cheese him by sitting on the "bridge" things with the ammo boxes and a sentinel beam. he has to walk the long way up so you can jump off the second he gets nearby, wait for him to drop down again and grapple back up. repeat for easy kill.

For the fight against the Harbinger. I HIGHLY recommend using the sentinel beams that you can find on the wall. The constant damage prevents her from spawning the electrical balls and when she teleports, she always teleports around you, so just turn around and fire at her immediately. You can melt her shield real quick and instead of using ammo, when her shield is depleted, just melee her and that’ll initiate the next phase/end the fight

One of the best legendary difficulties out of all the Halos.

Agreed. Being able to kill most units without noob combo is much less boring and fair. Sure, sniper jackals are back, and they're good, but they take several seconds to aim - and you see them aiming. It's by no means easy, and I'm dying a lot (picked legendary myself too for first run through), but I don't feel cheated every time I die; usually I'm just being a bit more yolo than I should be haha

@@Gumbi1012 Yeah every time a Sniper Jackal killed me it was because I stood still in the wrong spot or gave him a good angle on me, and the next checkpoint I could adjust and move on.

for jega i'd recommend piling up all the fusion coils you can find before picking up the audio thing from echo 216 in the middle of the room of the top floor.

lol yeah i agree i didnt do that but the first time I ran through him on heroic(idk if this is as good on legendary but ill find out) i brought the machine gun from the lower floor and killed him first try. machine fun spam ftw

[@harrybytheway6469]

A few things I learnt whilst playing through on heroic that got me through were that... 1. Everytime Jega goes into full camo mode, there's a few shock fusion coils that are at the back left of the top floor that I would pick up then stun him with allowing me to lower his shields before disappearing again. I think there's three so you can do loads of damage whilst he's stunned 2. A single grenade will take out the cores for escharums shield 3. The disruptor works really well against him, basically stuns him into the same position so you can melt him down quickly Don't know if this will help but it worked for me :)

[@yourmother3569]

Yep, and you can cheese the other by standing in one of the downed ships on the cliff to the side, or parking a warthog there and gunning him down with it. If you're under any cover, he has a really hard time hitting you.

[@RunningShovel]

That's eventually how I ended up winning, but that Chopper is absolutely LETHAL on legendary. I came in with a poor loadout, so I didn't have much to work with. Either he instagibs you while you try to hijack it, or he instagibs you out of it as you drive away. Hitting him with it doesn't do enough damage to be worth the risk. One time I just got lucky and landed a good set of nades and blew the Chopper up with him in it, after that the other brother was fine.

From my own legendary experience. I knocked Tremonius into a corner with a fusion coil and he got stuck. I sat at the top of the ramp and shot him to pass. I didn't get to cheese any boss after that. So for Hyperious and Tovarus I actually came into that fight from the Frigate Ruins, after killing a brute Hyperius just came right to me, he kinda struggles to get around a turn over there (evident from multiple tries Tovarus was the bigger problem). While he tries to turn you can blow up the chopper. After that, he was pretty easy to take just use the remaining rockets and whatever else to take out his shields and health. The Road was a pain for me I went in with bad weapons and little ammo, I didn't know about the Point of No Return on Spire. I went in standard with all three vehicles and tried going around the side. Eventually, I got through it using both the scorpion and two wraiths. It wasn't the most efficient method and required a lot of backtracking and planning after many deaths and learning the layout of the place. Still ended with taking out the second wraith with a rocket launcher, just barely. The Hunters inside I cheesed hard as hell. So first little secret there are three buttons you can press one in the observation room, one at the top of the white building, and another in rafters not far from there (it's in view from there) to spawn a rocket hog. Not very useful on legendary. But if you get ahold of the skewers you can grapple to the top of the white tower and be mostly untouchable by the hunters, toss down a threat sensor, and time your peeking to grab headshots from above might need to jump down for a rocket launcher or more skewer ammo. Harbinger was easy once I got a handle on those electric balls. Half the time I just couldn't see them (somewhat color blind so that was fun). Once I got a handle on that just knocked her shields off with the sentinel beam and melee'd (don't judge I wasn't prepared for her to sit still so I backed off) or shot her. The Chieftan was a problem that grav hammer is mean. I kept jumping up the high platforms and jumping down getting him to follow and killed him with the beam. For Harbinger, I personally found the best thing for me was to use the thrusters to dodge her and walls as cover for the electricity. It's fast enough to escape her Teleport and Melee, also you can keep a better eye on her. Move up or back when needed depending on her TP

This game is incredibly diverse, not just in the open world, but in its gameplay. for my legendary playthrough, i used a completely different strategy, i was essentially playing it like doom (grapple punching enemies, getting up close and personal with a gravity hammer and shotgun, it felt amazing. i highly recommend that if you want to try playing the game in a unique way, master movement mechanics, the gravity hammers delay, and the chunkiness of the bulldog. give it a try on heroic with killer music and you'll be feeling the doomslayer energy as soon as you hit installation-07. (melee counters and close range dodging are surprisingly effective against elites, it usually blocks their attack and gives you time to react, that's my general pro tip) and thanks experia for the well researched video, i learned about a few mechanics i hadn't quite noticed.

However if Chief finds a way to use the endless he could back in time with help of say Offensive Bias, he could stop the interrogation of the Timeless one preventing the Flood. Chief would hold the Mantle (precursors were right, humanity holding the mantle), Offensive Bias would fulfill his programing (Stopping Mendicant). Chief would have saved Cortana ( stopping the rampancy). The timeless one would obviously have time on his side, and chief would be endless.

Thank you so much! Got Tovarus down first try and was able to kill Hyperius after a few of deaths. He pulled his chopper broad side to me and I spammed hydra to take his chopper down but got him in the resulting explosion I s’pose. Cheers!

14:00 The game does not save between each of those brutes. I have killed 1 over a dozen times, but you have to get both in one go.

[@dcaf94]

I definitely got a checkpoint after killing Hyperius but before killing Tovarus. He jumped over into that crashed frigate and I got a save when I grappled up to find him.

[@TheWither129]

This is probably my favorite campaign yet, the levels feel challenging but fair, the sandbox is great, the open world is amazing, and the bosses are great (except bassus, fuck bassus) Honestly though i dont like the hunters as much, they are WAAY too fast. I NEED the maxed thruster’s camo in order to actually reach their back 99% of the time, and forcing me to use a single weapon or strat for an enemy type is not cool for a game like this. We have all these options for a reason, and yet i dont feel like i really have any options for the hunters, just spam explosives and thrust away from fuel rods. I want to be able to grapple over them and get a couple quick shots on the back, but i cant cus by the time ive turned around, they’re already facing me and charging a shot. I want to bait and kite their melees and get a shotgun blast or melee in but they can turn with their swings and hit me anyway, an even if i thrust around them they still turn to face me unless i have the camo upgrade. The back has always been their main weak point and it just, doesnt feel like its even an option anymore with how quick they are, and how they insist on blasting me at point blank instead of swinging their shield. Then when they finally do swing, there’s no telecasting at all, half the time they get me before i even realize they’re finally going for a melee. Sitting there spamming needles isnt fun, hiding behind a drop wall with a skewer isnt fun. Going for risky moves like getting up close with a sword and thrusting around behind it while it tries to swing at me IS fun and engaging because i actually have to try and time my movements and watch how the hunter comes at me. But in this game when i try that, i get melted by the fuel rod i cant dodge cus hes right in front of me or he insta-kills me with a swift slam of his shield. Theyre just not as fun.

I went straight into Legendary and had no idea about these techniques but still made it all the way until the third phase of the final boss fight on Legendary, this video is going to help me out a lot as I had no idea about the Arcane Sentinel Beam and BR combo. Thanks mate.

[@user-ld8zt5sy7g]

Good tips, thanks! I was just preparing myself for the Legendary run and your video helped me to summarize all my notes from Normal run.

[@XramineTitan]

for Tavarus in order to cheese it every time shoot the chopper two times with the hydra, reload, THEN hit him with the entire Hydra clip. This will make it so the chopper explodes before the the meltdown animation where Tavarus has time to get out. Great video thanks! That early BR tip helped me a ton.

I got very fortunate during the Spartan killer bros fight on legendary. There were a pack of grunts and one had a ghost so I just highjacked it and melted the bros and the reinforcement brutes sidestafing with the ghost.

[@danielcardenas2243]

I completed halo infinite on legendary without knowing any of this, not even de graphing slide thing and it made it a 200% harder but I don’t regret it, it was pretty fun but each boss took me at least 2 to 3 hours 😭

[@HB-mx9ed]

Granted I didn’t play infinite on legendary first time round (played on heroic) but I found Jega Rdomnai’s boss fight incredibly easy. Save one of the machine gun turrets u find in the level and bring it to the boss fight. Just drop it beneath the hanger and grapple it into your hands. This thing melted him pretty quickly for me and I didn’t have trouble killing him. Also helps because u can kinda shoot and pray if u don’t know where he is to find him. Hope this helps!

[@FirefighterAliveJC]

He’s my next boss so I’ll definitely give this a try!

[@NickyHonings]

A good tactic for escharum also is a point in where he cant get to you in the 2nd stage. In the middle of the room you have 2 narrow hallways on either side, above those hallways some cables come together in a box. You can grapple onto either box and shoot him from up there. He'll only throw the occasional spike nade, but it doesnt kill you on legendary. Or when you're low, just move to the other side

[@lukehorn7653]

Thanks for the tips this made my play through go a lot smoother. One thing that is a little broken but works well is when you give 5 marines the arcane sentinel beam load them up in a razorback and drive it to a base or any open world place to take down enemies. It goes really well since they don't run out of ammo.

[@professorx3141]

Thank you for this break down. I was definitely trying to beat bassus in the worst ways possible.

[@xXSeNiLeXx]

Most of my issues on Legendary were bad checkpoints for boss fights and not having the right equipment, had a couple where I'd die and then be in immediate danger of a one-hit when the fight restarted. The BR and Sniper was my combo for open world, engage from long range as much as possible, vehicles are your friend. Focus the high level elites, they keep their shields down until combat so they're one hit. For the Brute Brothers/Spartan Killers, I just jumped into the turret of one the Hogs sitting around and took them out that way pretty straight forward if you can isolate them. The Road is pretty easy, grab the scorpion and take it slow; if it survives all the way to the end you get an achievement

[@FazeWiderApe]

I saw somewhere (I don't remember) that mintblitz cheesed jega's boss fight by piling a bunch of coils in the middle of the room and shooting them when he lunges at you, it's really helpful and what I did on my first run

[@bopaterson7093]

Your legendary strats are a lot better than mine - which usually involved grappling like a maniac and shooting when I could (wish I'd thought to bring the arcane sentinel beam into the fight with Bassus because without a good weapon is was painful). I actually found Hyperius and Tovarus relatively easy by baiting out the elite piloting a ghost in the shipwreck and hijacking it. Ghost weapons absolutely shred Hyperius. Tovarus was a bit more bullet spongey but as long as I kept strafing so the ghost didn't take too much damage it was pretty trivial.

[@siffonzebra4981]

Jega's bossfight was also a breeze, somehow i find it really easy to duel swordelites, so i keeped my duelist energy sword through this missions and with a couple fusion coils managed to charge thruster back him to death. I then brought his blade to escharum's bossfight and finished the last 1/10 of his health with this blade. I just really liked the irony within this and was really cool lorewise.

[@StevieObieYT]

[@smokerg4l762]

Thank you. I went into the campaign blind on legendary and so many of these fights were insane, but the Harbinger was just another level of frustrating. When you get one hit killed by her attacks, it’s very difficult to actually learn the fight, so I felt like I was just running into a brick wall every checkpoint. Ended up going to bed but now I have a good guide for the fight. Hopefully I beat it tomorrow

[@Dr.Smelly]

Amazing video but I would recommend people to go into this completely without tips. These are all tricks I used in my first blind playthrough which I did on legendary. So so fun.

Great Guide.....Nice One !! Only one thing though.....You can get the Breacher BR from a Fallen UNSC Soldier who's on top of a cliff South of the Tower and North of FOB Foxtrot and it's pretty much always there, so if you're near it and need ammo.....Help yourself !! Just thought I'd mention it.....Keep Up the Great Work !!

[@WayneW28]

First time doing Halo Legendary by myself. Was awful but your video helped a lot. Thanks man

[@kirkh4205]

I didn't know about that BR until I saw this video. I'm in the conservatory with the two brute chieftains and I have are the weapons that were laying around. I didn't watch any guide before I fell into the hole that the brutes are digging... I was trying not to spoil the game surprises by watching many guides. So I didn't even know where I was going when I came down here. LOL! Of course, Legendary is the only way to play Halo (until I have all the skulls anyway). One tip that I could give is that there is a Drop Weapon function that comes without being bound to any key. I bind it to my 1-9 number row, the "0" key so it's nice and out of the way. I'm currently running around that room with 1 weapon and picking up things I can find and then dropping them back in that safe room that you originally come out of to meet those chieftains with the scrap cannons. With this strat you can make a collection of weapons in there, since there are basically none before you get here. When I was fighting Chak 'Loc, I added the key bindings for my grapple (F) and my Threat Sensor (C), which are normally Melee (F) and I 'nades (C) but I didn't like it that way because I kept unintentionally throwing 'nades. My mouse has 2 side buttons, those are my melee and 'nade buttons. It allows me to keep my fingers on the movement keys..... which helps in multiplayer a lot.

[@livirus3826]

I don't ever plan to even ATTEMPT Legendary (unless they update the game so that it gives a really cool reward), but I just appreciate the tips for taking out Hunters more easily, they feel WAY harder to fight than previous Halo games

I absolutely love your new animation sequence at the beginning of your newer videos. The red energy swords look wicked badass

[@prestonlanzieri4695]

This guide was extremely helpful in a lot of ways for a legit legendary run! I will say some the of the hardest stuff is the last two levels, but it honestly requires a lot of patience. BIG TIP: If you finish the road the normal way, and decided to close the game at any point during the House of Recoking, you are most likely gonna have to fight the Hunters again; not something I see many people mention. Thanks again for this!

[@ratimus]

@16:10 Thank you so much for this strat. I was pulling my hair out trying to nood combo Hyperius first. I got incredibly lucky that he eventually came up to where Tovarus died and I was able to take him out there as well.

[@AzureDragon2604]

For people struggling to kill tremonius your first boss in infinite and this can relate to other bosses memorize where he flys over in the cutscene then when you start you legendary run don’t hit the elevator button yet this is where the memory comes in search throughout the room for cubes and coils and place them in that exact spot that he lands on during the cutscene, once the cutscene plays out he will immediately be standing on all those coils leaving room for you to throw a spike grenade or plasma on him causing a big explosion to slaughter his shields letting you rain hell on him with the needler to kill him keep grappling around there is a spot where you go down a ramp into a hallway with a red shield wall go down there and bait him from here through grenades and needler your kill should go perfectly it took me a couple try’s to pull this off but trust me it works well just remember the cubes at his spawn they are your friend also remember the hallway ? That helps you through grenades at the jackals
