Podtacular: The Unofficial Halo Universe Podcast

Podtacular Episode 156: The Covenant Campaign Show
for the week of April 1st, 2008

(hosts foo mo, jvb, cross b4 crowns )


introductions


This is Dk5000, and I’ve got a couple tips for the Covenant level.

1. you start the mission with a spartan lazer, save a shot for the moment
when the Pelican lands and drops off a Puma, but instead of getting in it
look out over the water towards the horizon where you’ll see banshees and
hornets fighting. Use ur lazer shot on one of the banshees as an easy way
to get the “Too Close to the Sun” achievement.

2. When you activate the 2nd thingamajig after killing the 2nd brute
chieftain after meeting the elites after flying a hornet, a pelican or two
will drop off a tank and a couple mongeese. If you’re pressed for time on
the level, use mongoose to speed through the ice cliffs and the Covenant
quickly instead of using the tank. (Note only do this if you are a good
driver, the death-ray gun shade turrets, wraith tanks, prowlers, ghosts,
wraith tanks, and huge drop off cliffs make some turns a little hairy, and
starting over a couple hundred times actually does take a up a couple
minutes)

3. There are 3 Terminals located throughout the level, one near each of
the lifts that take you up to the brute chieftain areas, and another one
in the second base area that the elites supposedly deactivated.

Thats it for me, my last tips for the podcast sigh
Keep on fraggin’ peanut butta tomatas

hey podtacular, im here with my submission for the covenant level, one of
my faves by the way.

anyway, for the IWHBYD skull, play FROM THE START OF THE MISSION!!!!!
then, when you get to the last area where turth is, clear out evry enemy
until after you kill truth . then ( heres the hard part) you have to jump
through the rings. the first ring is the ring where you come in at the
start, the 7th is where truth is. this is the order: 1 3 4 6 7 5 4 6 5 4 5
3 4.

The thunderstorm skull: to get this skull, play until you get to the part
where you get the hornet, then, fly until you get to the part where the
elite says: ” this tower is clear, no need to land”. land at the structure
and run up the ramp. there should be the skull.

tips for this level: on legendary, co-op is essential to this level. try
and log a guest in( without anyone actually playing as the guest) and just
leave him there. then, whenever you die, you just respawn where the guest
is.

also, this is a good level to get the to close to the sun acheviement.
hold onto the laser until you reach the part where the pelican comes in.
then, you should see a few banshees flying in the sky, use your laser and
BAM!

also, i beleive you can get the used car salesman acheivement on this
level. hold onto your laser until you get to the first open area ) with
the regular wraith) and wait until the prowlers come out. there should be
at least 3 brutes in it. of course, blow it up with your laser and BAM!

and finally, when you get flame grenades in ( i beleive the second tower)
lob a flame grenade at the brute chieftain first off, as the flame burns,
it will serverely weaken him.

congrats on 156 episodes and keep on fraggin ( and here comes the epic
fraggin post =)): noobswho wear anus armour covered in alpachha feathers
with hot sauce covered in epic awesomeness who pwn n00bs who hate midget
haters called foo moo jive =[)

Hey, guys kapow here – this is my first subbmission my GT is : Kapow FTW.
Here is my tip: On this level the ship is flood infested so don’t shoot
the throbbing like bubbles on the walls as they probably just contain more
flood, also, don’t bother about shooting the smaller flood as they rarely
do damage to you. Keep on fragging Epitaph. I might send in a pic for the
last episode of me in my home made anus armor!

hey guys this is marder. i hope this gets on cuz i havent been on 1 show.
but yeah. For single player on any difficulty you should use the rocket
launcher against the big groups of flood and then get the rest with your
BR. But, if youre playing with a buddy or more have cover firers and
rushers. if there’s only 2 people, one snipes the flood nOObs with their
BR or carbine, which ever it doesnt matter. and if theres 3 or 4 people 1
guy rushes while 2 snipe or 2 rush while 2 snipe. because then its
balanced and you can whittle down the flood forces VERY quickly. I dont
have any tips on how to find the dude in his boxers. I wish somebody would
tell ME that. i heard its really funny. ANYWAY, theres 2 other easter eggs
in this level. theyre both at the end. #1 is when you first go out of the
tunnel and get in the hog, look up at the sky and the planet above you has
what resembles a skull on it. ill have it on my fileshare soon because im
not hooked up to live at the moment . #2, when youre just about to jump
onto the DAWN, turn to youre RIGHT after you go under the arch. theres a
grunt standing there, and if you stand there and listen, he keeps making
fun of humans and how youre an evil demon, etc. but if you take the time
to listen to him, the walkway you took to get to him gets covered by dirt
from the wall from all the bridge pieces falling and you cant get across.
you have to restart from the checkpoint. NOW for the I WOULD HAVE BEEN
YOUR DADDY skull. when you get to truth and the cutscene that shows the
arbiter UBER PWN his Noob A$$, kill all the flood in that big chamber with
the rings so nothing distracts you. When youve cleared the room, jump
through these rings: 4, 5, 6, 5, 7, 6, 5, 4, 1, 2, 3, 2, 7, 2, 1, 3, 4, 6,
7, 5, 4, 5, 3, 4. There is also a faster set of numbers: 4, 6, 5, 4, 5, 3,
4. The first ring by the door you came in the room is number 1, and the
one closest to where truth was, is number 7, just so you know youre way.
yep, and after that, when you get out, have one person stay back and snipe
and the other 1,2, or 3 guys go along that edge and kill the flood and the
sentinels. once through the tunnels, take 2 hogs so if one hog goes off,
you wont have to start over. and when you are about to jump, dont try to
spin and do a 360 or whatever because my retarded friend did that and,
well, you could say we MIGHT have not lived. keep on fraggin trucks,
peanut butter and cheese crackers, and all the people that make fun of
jews because there are some mean rascists everywhere!

Hey Podtac this is Uzumaki15 sending in for the last time sniff muffled
sob

Well anyway the Convanent this level is a pain to play alone but can be do
(I’ve beaten the entire campaign alone on legendary) so when you start
alone you have a laser and a BR start by taking out the grunts that try to
catch you off guard form the right then take that path to ambush the brute
and the rest of the grunts. After they are down hop onto the rock and
laser the Shades then move to your right and BR the grunts around the
pelican then proceed to stick the Brutes but be careful one of them has a
mauler laser the chieftain to get him down and beat the Wraith till it
explodes do this by getting behind it and attacking the core.

After that a pelican will drop off a hog so hop in the drivers seat and
get a marine in the turret make your way to the tower ignoring the enemy
until you get to the ledge leading into the valley where the tower
entrance is there will be several ghosts one will be unmanned and a grunt
will be headed for it splatter him and grab the Ghost, drive into the
ravine eliminating all opposition when you encounter the Wraith simply
move back and forth out of the turret range and blast if your lucky you
will kill the gunner and the driver if this happens pilot the Wraith and
take out the grunts and brutes in the entrance way.

After that work your way into the tower picking up the cloaking device
near the entrance (if you haven’t already swap your laser for something
more useful like a needler). Inside there will be a lot of opposition take
your time and work from either side towards the back of the room, in the
back more opposition take them out and make sure every thing you carrying
is fully stocked move up the lift and you’ll encounter five brutes one is
a chieftain with a hammer take out the other brutes and dual wield spikers
or PR until the chieftain is dead, deactivate the tower after the cut scene
head down to deal with the reinforcements, deal with them and move outside
an hog will be waiting for you as will some drop pods take whatever
weapons you want and move back to the beach two hornets will be waiting
for you hop in one an fly towards the dog fighting going on (If you’re
going for the meta-game achievement destroy as many banshees as possible
before landing) clear the LZ at the base of the 3rd tower clear out the
AA-Wraiths, the Normal Wraiths, and the Shades.

Now I’ll fast-forward.
After clearing the tower and deactivating the barrier hop in the tank wipe
out all resistance when you get to the citadel hop in a hornet an fly
towards your left two scarabs will fall now fly over the first one and
eject you should fall on the scarab work towards the back an blow it up
now jump off the scarab and look for the hornet if you were lucky it
should be and the ground flip it and fly away fast repeat for the other
scarab (This part is were two or more people come in handy).

Well that all I’ve got still sad that your leaving but I hope to play with
you guys sometime in the future Keep on fraggin’ hunters that are getting their budunadunks smacked by a
spunker wielded by anus-armor wearing yodeling manatee’s that are
getting smacked by midgets using the golden melee, who are getting run
over by Neigh-Neigh, who is driving the great truck that only the
Podtacular Host and Co-Host can frag.
See You around Spartan P51 out.

Well, again I hate to see the show go, but for my tips, this map is the
other 50,000 meta game achievement aside from The Ark. There are also
three more terminals on this level. Here’s how you find them: the first
terminal is located just pass the first lift up to deactivate the first
tower. Instead of going up the lift, jump across to the other side and
the first terminal is there. The second one is located at the second
tower. This one is accessible by the hornet. After you battle the first
cluster of banshees, head to the tower in the wall instead of following
the rest of them. Go inside the tower and there is the second one. The
third and last one on this level is just like the first one, except it’s
in the third tower. Jump across to the other side of the lift and there
you have it.

Keep on Fraggin’ Trucks

PS, for the IWHBYD skull, ring 1 is the one from where you came in and
ring 7 is the one near where you kill truth. Activation Pattern: 4 6 5 4 5
3 4

Hey, it’s Arbitation here. I just got back from playing campaign with my
dad on The Storm on legendary with three skulls. We played for two whole
hours and only got one level finished…

Anyways, on to ‘The Covenant’
This level is a bit of a grey area for me because i’ve only done it ‘bout
four times. I do kow how to get the “i would have been your daddy skull” though.
1. make your way to the big long bridge where you go down it with the
flood.
2. make your wy to ‘Truth’ and make sure you don’t jump through any of the
big white halo ring holograms.
3. make your way back up the bridge destroying all the flood, again, don’t
jum through any rings. (i don’t think you have to kill them all, they just
get in the way)
4. Jump through rings in this order. (1 is at the entrance, 7 at the other
end) 4 6 5 4 5 3 4
5. if done corectly the rings will start lighting up and the skull will
appear on the small bridge that connects the big bridg to the landing that
the prophet is on.

Well that’s all

Keep on fraggin’ trucks and don’t tell anyone the keypad code to your anus
armor!

SKULLS: Thunderstorm: Once you get in the hornet and fight off the first
set of banshees and the AA Wraith instead of following the retreating
Phantom turn to you right and go to the second tower.Land on the tower and
go up the ramp extending the sea. At the top will be the skull. This skull
will increase the rank of every enemy you face.
I Would Have Been Your Daddy: At the end of the level after the prophet is
dead, kill the flood, all of them, but do not jump in the hole stay where
the halos are. Each halo has a number 1 – 7, 7 being at the prophets dead
body and 1 being at the hole. Jump through the halos (without touching
them) in this sequence: 4 6 5 4 5 3 4. Once done the halos will all flash.
Go to the spot were the small energy bridge is (by the 7th halo) and the
skull will be sitting there. This skull unlocks hidden dialogue.
(For help on the IWHBYD Skull watch:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKRNs2CJA3M)

TERMINALS: 4: Once you get to the first elevator to go up to activate the
first tower don’t activate it. Keep on walking past it until you reach the
ledge jump across to the other side and your terminal awaits.
5: Go to the tower that the Arbiter deactivated and go in like you did the
other towers. As you round the corner to get in you will see the terminal.
6: Simply the same as the 4th except with the second elevator you go up.
(For help on these go to:
http://www.halo3planet.com/terminal-locations/terminals-4-6/)

TIPS: When you go to fight the two scarabs, get in your hornet and shoot
the first scarab’s flashy lighted but until it falls off and reveals the
power core. Shoot it like crazy then run. Once it explodes destroy one of
the second scarabs legs so it has to take a nap. Once i lays down sneak up
from behind and shoot it’s butt like you did with the first.

That is all. Keep on fraggin this years March Madness Tournament.

Yo, Podtacular, Shadowshocker 94 here with a tiny amount of info for
(dramatic music starts playing) “The Covanant” (dramatic music continues)
a level that is so thrilling and memorible, that this is the only level
you’ll play for a long time… (dramatic music stops). Anyway, all I have
to say is, there are a few terminals on this level (I’ll let other
submitter s tell you where) and the two skulls, (ThunderStorm, and IWHBYD)
but I don’t have much time so I’ll let other submitters tell you where
these are too. So for my origional tip, save big weapons and their
powerful ammo and only use them when nessesary. this will help you in
tough spots when facing Brute Chieftens (1 Red) and Captains (2-3 Yellow
depends on the difficulty). I’ll miss the endless hours of hilarious
blabber that I spent listening to this show to help me through a bad day. JVB and FOO MO, you guys rock!

I’ll keep the last episode close to me and protect it with my life… I’m
crying as I write this… and I kid you. See you Foo Mo, I’ll replace what
I can (it will and can never be totally replaced) with the Post Game
Report, good job JVB (When I’m not ownin’ with my bro in CoD 4 or
assasinating people, I’m listening to the Post Game Report) do you have
that “Mario beat” file for me yet, JVB?.

So, without further ado, I’ll try my best at my “keep on fraggin trucks”
line, here goes… ahem:

Keep on fraggin one-legged, purple-bellied squirrels, owned by a hairy
yetti that farms steak-producing cacti, that is soon to be demolished by
Arnold Schwarzenegger, A.K.A. “The Yetti Hunter”... as he wears his custom
made anus armor, that was shipped from Uranus/YourAnus.

Ok, so The Covenant is my favourite mission.
You start off with a laser and a BR. What you want to do is use the laser
to take out the Shade turrets. That’s simple. If you want the Fear the
Pink Mist achievement, pick up a Needler and kill 5 grunts with it, then
get your BR back. There is a marine with a Shotgun. If you want, take it
and kill the brute on top of the rock, then get the BR back.
When you’ve done that, use your BR to take out the grunts, and you can
also use the Shotgun to take out the brutes. Grenades work well also. When
you get to the AA wraith, don’t waste laser ammo. Hijack it and destroy it
with your Iron Fist.
Once that’s cleared, you may want the Too Close to the Sun achievement
(Unlocks Scout chestplate armor). Look into the sky, and you will see a
whole lot of Banshees in the sky. Pick one off with your laser. This is
easier than it sounds.
Fast forward to the bit with the first tower. When you first get there,
there is a clearing with a Wraith in the middle. Now I haven’t quite
figured out how do get past this bit without dying less than 10 times, but
I think the key is to get in a Ghost, and destroy the Prowler and other
Ghosts, then take the Wraith out. Once you’ve done that, take out the
Shade on the back rock with a simple sticky grenade. Then you can deal
with the infantry.
The next bit is almost a breaze. Shut down the tower. The hardest bit is
the Brute chieftain. This is hard. You want to just back away from him and
keep firing, adding the odd jump. If you manage to get behind him by
jumping over him just as he slams at you, assassinate him. I did it by
deploying a bubble shield in front of that unbreakable glass, and every
now and then coming out and throwing a few grenades. That took out some of
the other brutes.
Anyway, fast forward to the bit when you get into the hornet. Firstly, you
want to turn right to get to the tower which the Arbiter just deactivated.
You will find the Thunderstorm skull on the ramp outside.
After that, get back in the hornet, and fly around and destroy a few
banshees.
Quick tale from the Foxhole: I once got out of a hornet and hijacked a
banshee at the same time.
You want to focus on the AA wraiths. Rocket them with your hornet. Then
land and go into the tower after you kill everyone.
Fast forward to the brute chieftain. This time his accomplices are
invisible, so it is a lot harder. Try the grenade thing like i did, but
you may have to do without the bubble shield.
Finish that, and get out. Get in a tank, and cause ultimate destruction.
Simple
Done. Now you have the two scarabs. Get in the driver seat of a hornet,
and fly over to the scarab on your left. Exit the hornet and land on top
of the scarab. Ignore all brutes except the ones that are in your way, and
use the FRC you should have to destroy the power thing at the back. Then
jump off. If you’re lucky, your hornet will be under the scarab and still
drivable. However, if you are very unlucky, your hornet will be a crumpled
pile of junk, and you may have to do with your FRC to take the next scarab
down. If your hornet is still drivable, take it and follow the same
strategy.
When you get inside, you have to battle a whole lot of flood. Follow the
tips I left in the shownotes of the Floodgate show and battle them.
However, the flood team up with you, then attack you again, so when they
team up with you, don’t be afraid to kill a few now and again.
When you get to the lit up rings, there is the IWHBYD skull. You have to
jump through the rings in a specific sequence. It is 4654..4, i think. The
dots in the middle represent unknown numbers. 1 is at the entrance and 7 is
at the bridge. The skull will appear at the bridge.
The rest of my memory of this level is a bit fuzzy, so i will leave it at
that.
Good bye Podtacular. I will miss you. i will miss hearing your voices, and
you have done a lot for me and I know for a lot of other people too. The
community is great, and thanks for that as well.
Keep on fraggin’ trucks.

SAVE THE LASER!!! You’ll need it for the Shade, Wraith, and multiple
Prowlers in the valley before the entrance to the shield room. Use
grenades for the turrets at the very beginning, and grab a plasma pistol
for the chieftain near the AA Wraith. It kind of sucks that this is the
last audio podcast, love the show, Potacular FTW!!!

hey guys this is ryfacer3000 here with tips for the covent. first snipe all
the brutes and grunts ect. and then go up to the aa wriath and snipe the
gunner out. then stand on top and melle the hatch intell it opens and
thengo to a spot intell you dont see the hold rb to board. hen hold rb and
kil the driver major meta points cause the aa wraith owns

tip for getting the skull when you are in the hornet fly over to the first
platform then land kill everything and then go up on the ramp in the middle
and pick up the skull. tada achievement

keep on fragin master chiefs who get stuck in the anus armour and ride
purple lamas

To get the 2 two Scarabs at Truth’s hideout, take one of the hornets, and
try to fly around to the back of a scarab and shoot the back where it’s
“heart” is. the back part protecting it can fall off. Don’t try to go
around it, it turns faster. Instead fly ontop of it.

hey podtacular this is KC Smacker sending my last submission. its been a
while and i now regret taking so many breaks from podtacular’s show being
busy with sports and school and all. Hopefully the new PodTV with be Kick
ARSE and i will not miss the old show as i think i will. anyway about
Covenant My first suggestion is that when you start as Master Cheif and
you start with the Splaser to save it untill you get through the first
wave. When the Pelican drops off your load of moongooses and warthog look
in the direction you are going to have to go. on the edge of the beach and
in the sky you will see your first banshee vs. hornet battle this is probly
your best chance and getting your Too Close to The Sun Achievement. Next as
you move up the hill remember to hide shoot hide shoot ect. just like you
do any other time when playing Legendary…. well atleast i do and im good
at it. and when you get to the top and the hill starts to go down and to
the right dont forget that there is a weapon cash of i think 2 or 3 covy.
snipers that you can use. at this time you will also be attacked by a
ghost or to i suggest that you grab one so you can go back and forth to
the covy. sniper stash so you can take out that wrath and those brute
vehicles. next you start to move inside where once again cover is your
friend. now most of the lvl is as you have seen is the other lvls bugs,
grunts , brutes, jakels, etc. but when you get to where you turn off the
gates and you have to kill those pesky invisy brutes makes sure you frag
‘em good! lol. also remember that when you are fighting the flood that the
Plasma rifles are your best friend! welp there it is my fellow podtacular
community i hope to see all of you watching the new PodTV episodes and i
promise i wont miss a single one. and for the last time before the final
epidsode…

keep on fragging trucks!!!!

KC Smacker

hey guys i am abit bummed about the news but the last show must go on
the skulls on this level are iwhbyd and thunderstorm
this is the last level you face the covenat and is the longest level in
the game (but enough of qouteing halopedia) in this level you get to team up with the flod even if its temporary and
you get to take out truth
just to say before hand you can get the iwhbyd skull by jumping throught
the holograhpic rings near the end of the level to play the halo theme
song the order to jump through them is 4,6,5,4,5,3,4
as you start the level you have a spartan laser on coop your buddy has a
fuel rod gun or maybe a splazer no clue

the first thing that maygive you trouble is the 2 shades its not advisable
to use your splazer but to stick them from affar on coop you can run out
for more acurracy and your buddy the arbiter on coop can sneak around and
hi jack the shade to kill the reast

near the end of the first section you get to fly my favorite vehicle the
HORNET with 2 rockets on the front it is the ultimate flying killing
machine
lastly the thunderstorm skull is in the hornet section when you see the
struce you land on look above it and land on the walk way theri and walk
down and at the bootEm the skull will be their

KEEP ON FRAGGIN TRUCK THE ARE HI JACKED FROM NAY-NAY BY DINOSAUR

Whats up Podtacular, this is xGeegx with some tips for the covenant. So
when you get to the part where you have to fight the Wraith, kill
everybody but save a ghost if you can. After you have done this there is
a cool way to get out of the map. Go up to the ledge with the ghost where
the annoying shade and jackals were shooting at you. Then turn to look at
the structure. You will see that it is low. Boost with the ghost off of
the little ramp and on to the overhang. Make sure when you’re in the air
to apply the E-brake which is the A button so you will get the ghost’s
nose up. After that make your way all the way up to the top until you hit
the invisible barrier. Then turn right and fall off the edge. You will
hit another barrier and start floating. Push the left thumbstick towards
the cliff and you will float over there and eventually get up. After this
feel free to explore anywhere!!! Thanks Podtacular! You guys rock so much
and I salute you. Thanks Foo Mo Jive for letting Halo 3 VP interview you. If you wanna check us out we’re at www.halo3tv.webs.com we are a machinima
group and looking for actors. Keep on fraggin trucks chasing Nay Nay
driven by midgets wearing anus armor with emu feathers and alpaca fur who
forget to frag cats!

Just a couple of quick tips on the Covenant level:

1. For an easy way to take out the two scarabs, just stay in the Hornet. First fly around and take out the banshees, so that you don’t have to worry
about being attacked from behind while taking out the scarab. Then focus
on one of the scarabs legs, crippling it to the ground. Once it is
immobilized, fly down low behind the scarab, launch a couple of rockets
destroying the shielding (aka scarab anus armor) that protects the engine
core. Fire a couple more rockets at the engine core to take down the
scarab. Repeat for the second scarab.

2. At the top of the third tower, the brutes have invisiblity. When you
arrive at the top of the elevator, there is a piece of protective glass
between you and the brutes. If you look through the protective glass that
at a slight angle, it will make it so that you can see a shadowy appearance
of the otherwise invisilbe brutes. This will help you know where they are
located before you make any attack runs.

I’m going to miss the Podtacular podcast. I wish you all the best!

Keep on fraggin’ trucks.

Uncle Sillsnort

Hey podtacular! It’s your favorite military officer Rouge 119!!

Got some tips on nabbing the some achievements in this level. since you’re
probably doused with submissions about the skulls I’ll skip that.

first off the meta game…
My advice is play on normal, and turn on the following skulls. Fog Famine
Thunderstorm catch and tough luck. You should get it no problem with these
turned on.
Next..too close to the sun.

Just play on Heroic or legendary and save some spartan laser. Once you
destroy the anti-air wraith, The pelican drops off some marines and a
warthog and mongoose. pass them up and head forward. right after it says
“checkpoint done” Two banshees will attack you. The next part shouldn’t
take much common sense. just shoot it.
The third one is…Headshot Honcho!

This level is plentiful in beam rifles. Each rifle has about 20 shots.
With too many brutes to count and hundereds of shots, this should be a no
brainer

next up is…Fear The pink mist!!!

You might but I do Because it’s scary!!!!

LOL onto business, This is very easy. just get a needler and kill some
grunts. If I could do it you could too.

ok those would be my tips so…

keep on stumbling upon sessions of spartans tea-bagging elites, where the
elites aren’t quite dead yet…

And keep on fraggin’ the Mythbusters

For the scarab battle , it is possible to take down them down without
exiting the Hornet , Just Strafe Around aiming for the armor where the
core is , eventually it will crumble , then , you have to get the right
angle and fire into the core , causing the scarab to fall.

Be careful to dodge any incoming attacks whilst doing this as it can cause
problems when your hornet dies

in any campaign level you can do this ,drop a grav lift and step into it
don’t jump on it .let the lift pick you up with a sniper rifle or any
power weapon. this makes for a great surprise tactic .this is best used in
custom games along with active camo.can also be used with an over shield.i
have used this on occasion to surprise opponents in custom games because
most players when rounding corners don’t look up. with the active camo
place the grav lift with something bright or distracting behind you to
further hide your presents.keep on fragging podtacular podcast with
unpusillanimous perfection

This is my most hated campaign map so the only tips I can give are the
skulls locations and a personal tip for co-op campaign on legendary.
First, the skulls which there are two of. The first skull is right when
you get the hornet after disabling the tower while flying you notice an
identical tower if you are paying attention you know this as the tower
arby disabled fly up to it at right on the tip is the skull! Second is the
IWHBYDTo get this skull wait until you are in
the large hallway where you kill truth after killing all flood as well as
truth(when getting this skull there is one key do not touch any rings) you
have to jump through the rings in this order 4654534!! My last tip is for
co-op campaign this would be at the two scarabs to make sure to have you
and a friend grab a hornet you should each fly up the a scareb and time
your jump onto the scarab and disable it if you are lucky you hornet will
survive the explosion I hope it helped!!!
By the way this was a first time submission and I’m also a n00b to the
site so send me a friend request on xbox my gamertag is xTLx PrOdIgY!

Keep on Fraggin large trucks driven by nene who is saving vertically
challenged midgits form foo mo in her large truck!

Hey Podtacular this is lancer47. I have some tips, or you might call it as a mini walkthrough, on how to
get to the first tower, but I am not a pro or anything so they might not
be good for other players but they have worked for me.

When encountering the AA Wraith save the Laser ammo and just use the BR or
anyother weapons. Stick the Shades because they are not moving ‘easy kill’.
And when you get to the crashed Pelican use the n00b combo on the Brutes
and watch out for the Brute with the Fuel Rod Cannon or just kill him
quickly. Instead of Lasering the Wraith just get on it and melee it till
it explodes.
Then when encountering the Blue Wraith get a Ghost and just run past it.
What I mean is go behind the Wraith and jump over the gap, where you need
to enter the building and shut down the barrier, and you will spawn the 2
Brute vehicles with the turrets on them. but as I was saying when you get
over the gap go to that wierd structure jutting out from the wall and
there will be 2 snipers there. Dont take them yet. Instead use the Laser
(if you still have it) and kill the Wraith and the 2 Brute vehicles. And
get one of the sniper rifles.
Then when entering the tower grab the camo to the left of the door before
you enter. And there is a little trick when you get to the first tower.
Instead of just going in and wasting ammo just go to the left and there
will be some covenant crates. then if you look up there will be an opening
and just jump in there. it is where one of th terminals are. then just kill
the rest of the covenant that are gaurding the lift. When getting to the
pannel and turning off the tower it will be a little difficult to do.
Snipe the Brute with the Hammer and take out the the “lower class” Brutes
that come at you and then use the camo for the Brutes with the Brute Shot
and melee them from behind then activate the tower.

Well I know these are long but they are somewhat usefull. Good Luck with
the rest of the Podcasts you guys are a great and keep on fraging those
ozone layer, gas wasteing trucks.

When facing the two scarabs take the hornet and focus on taking out any
banshees that may be flying around. I can’t remember how many times one
of those little bastards sneaked up behind me. Next focus on destroying
one of the scarabs it doesn’t matter which. Shoot at one of it’s legs and
then proceed to shoot it’s anus amour off so that you may hit it’s weak
spot. Now you can try jumping off the hornet onto the scarab but I don’t
recommend it on legendary.
p.s. I hear people begging for recon amour but I want anus armor from
Bungie.

Well, it isn’t a true tip, but if you look at the pilots for the hornets
closely, they are models of sgt.Johnson, just with a helmet. And a quick
tip is when the pelican drops off a waarhot and mongoose, give the guy on
the back of the mongoose the spartan lazer. he gets mad skill and
unlimited ammo, so it gets crazy up in theaw

Hey Podtacular, Jurassicdl3 here, for what i do to beat the two scarabs is
that i usually take one of the hornets and go and take out each scarab one
by one by shooting my missiles at the back of the scarab were the core is
or i would first take out one of it legs and then attack the core. Some of
the secrets on this map are the secret marine that is on the map as well as
the song from halo 1 that is also on this map which can be found on the
left side of the building that goes out towards the center of the arc.
Some other things include the 3 terminals which one of each can be found
in the three towers. Also one way to deal with the flood would be to kill
some of them before they become you enemy as well as hitting dead bodies
off the platform so they do not become flood. That is all i have to say
Podtacular. Keep on Fragging truck.

well this is the last campaign show we will have man youd think that we
would make it all the way but no we were cut short at just two more to go.
well it does not matter gota live with what you got.

so the covenant regarded by many the best campaign mission in halo 3. well
right from the start when you come out of the pelican use your splazer to
splaze the turrets and gold brute chieftain by now your ammo will be very
close to depletion. when you reach the last charge which is at 20 give it
to one of your good old ODST buddies. also give the fuel rod gun that the
chieftain to another guy load them up in the vehicles that are dropped
off. i recommend you take the warthog and put the splazer guy in the
passenger seat. now when you reach the first tower you will have a number
of ghosts, turrets, and a wraith probably the best thing to do is to get
out and start picking off some enemies in the turrets and make it eaiser
to take out the bigger guys like the wraith. once you stroll out into the
valley start driving circles around the wraith and destroy it. be careful
when you go into the valley two prowlers will appear you will have to duel
it out with these two guys most likely you will die if you go head to head
so use large rocks to take cover and let your shields recharge then head
out and angle yourself so that your splazer buddy in the passenger seat
can splaze the prowler. now you will get a weapons drop off grab some BR
ammo and a shotty. when you head into the opening that leads to the towers
door a turret and a number of brutes and grunts stand in your way a good
idea is to stick the turret this will kill alot of the grunts who seem to
gather around it. then pick off the brutes from afar. head inside with
your shotty and clean up anything left.

head inside do your business and you finish the first tower. once you
finish head outside and start flying your hornet to the next tower. blow
some banshees and phantoms up. go inside and enjoy some company from the
elites. shoot some stuff blow up a few grenades. go up the elevator. here
you will have to kill a hammer chieftain and a few cloaked brutes kill the
cloaked brutes and grab their fire bombs then lit the hammer chieftain on
fire and watch as he burns. there u finish up basically most of the
mission. im not going any farther as i want to keep this somewhat short.

anyways keep on fragging impostors of nay-nay and other random stuff. i
think it is about time we give our good old frag truck a rest dont you?

Yo guys, its fullmetalgecko again, your favorite gecko in metal pants. In
the Covenant, you get to battle deformed man-bear-pigs! I know! It makes
me want to sing “The Badger Song”! To start off, make sure you have a BR
with full ammo and peck at the grunts one by one. Don’t use your Splaser!
After all the bad people are dead, jump in a hog and run over some marines
for fun. Make your way to the main building and you have two options. If
you are playing for points, BR your way through every enemy. If not, barge
through the front door, ignoring everyone else. Take out all the brutes,
and use spike grenades on the Hunters. When you go up the scary elevator,
whip out that splaser and kill the evil monkey with the hammer. While
T-Bagging him, nade and shoot down the rest of the brutes. Fly out the
window to the hornets. With your kick tail missles, kill all the phantoms,
banshees, and shade turrets before landing. Badger Badger badger badger
badger badger badger badger MUSHROOM MUSHROOM! Melee through those
@#$(!$#’s and kill the other evil monkey. Beat the crap out of the flood
with precision weapons or a hammer. I hope this helps, and I sent in a
voice mail for the last show, and I am going to cry in the end, so keep on
fraggin Charlie the Unicorn.
