Beating Tartarus on Legendary

iShishak · 02-08-2005, 11:10 AM

Oh woe, woe, woe, woe, woe. Does any soul know how to defeat that fat wooly ****? I have used beam rifles, and laser swords - all to despair. I'm so close though. Doing it on any other level is a walk in the park. Does anyone have any tips at all?

As soon as the sarge says his shields are down dual weild SMGs on him right away before his shields come back. That's the only tip I have.

Stay away from him mainly, shoot and move, shoot and move, i recommend the twin plasma rifles though, as I'm not sure where Xbox found 2 Smgs at on that at the end of that level. When Sarge yells his shields are down, give him everything you got, but still keep your distance, I think I repeated that lil bit of dancing twice before he went down. Hope this helps.

What about the special ending?. I've heard people saying that you have to complete all the levels on legendary to get it. Taking the easy route and just doing the last level doesn't reap the reward I'm told.

Keep near the edge, with dual plasma's, preferably brute, or carbines, try to make him fall over the edge, I did it once on heroic, but I made the mistake of following him down just to make sure he was dead... That didn't let me win though...

So don't follow him over the edge, I made that mistake after playing the level probably 7 times.

all you have to do is keep the banshee break off the wings so you can fit through the broken rocks into place and just mow him down with banshee he doesnt board you so when shield is down start shooting
