The Covenant | Walkthrough Halo 3 Guide

• Deactivate first barrier tower

From the start of this level, you're wielding a very powerful weapon - Spartan Laser . It can destroy vehicles with ease but its ammo is limited so use it wisely (like when a Wraith appears). In this level you should find two skulls and three terminals. Get to work.

First group of enemies should be piece of cake. Just watch the Wraith and be careful around Brute with Fuel Rod Gun and auto-turrets.

After the fight take the Warthog and go to the mainland. After a short drive Ghosts will appear. Destroy them (you can also take one - it can be useful but it's not necessary). When you approach the Wraith destroy it with laser. The turret should be next and when Choppers come let your people do some work. When the fight is over go inside the building and take down the front guard using a vehicle. Sadly you will have to leave it before you get inside.

In the first room a big group of Brutes, Jackals and Grunts awaits for merciless extermination. You know what to do. Afterwards go upstairs. There is a terminal near so use it.

On the top a big tough group of Brutes awaits. The leader with a hammer should be taken down first. After the fight is over, activate the panel and leave outside.

• Deactivate final tower barrier

Go back to the beach and get the Hornet.

If you want it done right

Hornet isn't all that maneuverable but taking down all the Banshees around won't be a hard task to complete. Be accurate and don't let them shoot you from behind. There is a skull in the building nearby.

Thunderstorm Skull

Getting this skull isn't a hard task. Fly your Hornet into the structure, land on the middle bow-shaped part and simply take the skull from the ground. In this structure (but inside the building) you can also find the next terminal.

Effect: all enemies are tougher.

After approaching the next tower, destroy as much enemies as possible from the air. Inside a very unpleasant surprise awaits you. Instead of Grunts, two big and dangerous Hunters reside here. Try to get them using Carbine or Battle Rifle and targeting orange spots on their back. Near the elevator you should find the next terminal. Same as before, go upstairs, destroy guards and push the button. When enemies appear, you can use Brute Leader's weapon. Go outside and get the Scorpion.

Journey's End

• Breach the Citadel

Drive along the way destroying everything you can see. Then switch over to Hornet ( as a pilot). Now you need to destroy not one but two Scarabs. It's not so hard to do as it might seem at first. Destroy all the Banshees around, then Ghosts and get the crew of the Scarabs. At the end shoot at Scarab cores. After the battle get with the Arbiter into the Citadel.

• Stop Truth from firing the rings

Follow the Arbiter inside. Fight until you reach the bridge. After finishing off the leader, destroy the rest of the enemies, but don't leave yet.

IWHBYD Skull

This skull appears only when you jump through the rings in proper order. The first one is the closest to the elevator, the seventh is the closest to the light bridge. Jump at the following order: 4,6,5,4,5,3,4. After that the ring skull should appear near the bridge.

Effect: unlocks some dialogues in Campaign Mode.

• Escape the Flood!

Leave this place the same way you came here, then jump into the hole.
