Solo Legendary - Deathless Spear Walkthrough

O.K. Guys, I'm back with some helpful hints on how to stay alive on Legendary. Tip of the Spear. Most parts of this level you can just waltz right on by and ignore combat, do that where possible. When combat is needed though, I'm here to help.


It's a level that starts off with a lot of guys to kill and 2 very powerful Fuel Rod Turrets. The best thing to do is start off slow though. Take out as many Grunts & Jackals as you can, leave the Elite for now. Use liberal lashings of Grenade Launch to wipe them out. When it comes to the Turrets they'll always be manned by Grunts so go ahead and use the DMR to pick them off. Once the turrets are out of the picture you're free to work on the Elite without fear. Pick up a Plasma Pistol and overload his shield. DMR to the head and you're all done. Bring the Plasma Pistol or Grenade Launcher, You'll need the EMP.

Now you'll receive the Rocket Hog. Take it and drive to the AA turret. First thing to do is drive round the back so you're at the far side. Once there, get to the small hill and hop on the Launcher. Wait till the Revenant shows its face, DO NOT DESTROY IT, steal it and after jumping from Vehicle to Vehicle, give it to Kat. Having 2 vehicles will split the enemies attention. While She goes and annoys the troops, you turn that Launcher towards the AA gun and unleash hell upon it. 8 Volleys will do and you'll destroy it without even needing to get close.

Move back round to where you started on the other side of the AA Gun. Take the path that takes you round the side where the AA gun is, watching out for the Ghosts that still remain. Then, when you head round towards the Wraith, if you gave Kat the Revenant she'll be there distracting it so you and your gunner can finish it off.

Moving on to the base, at a distance, once again pepper the area with Rockets as to take out the turrets. Moving on to the base, pick up a Needle Rifle, Plasma Pistol & Hologram. Moving through, there are 2 Elites before the Zealot. One will be a Major rank, the other, a Minor. The Major will be near the long stretch, the Minor on the mini turret at the end. Use the Hologram to lure the major directly away from you. Pop the shields and nab a headshot. The Minor can only see down the main part of the hall. Hide behind the Pillars to get close enough and throw a Plasma Grenade on him to sort him out.

Now, as you approach the Zealot, there'll be a courtyard with a few Grunts & Jackals. Take them out with the Needle Rifle before moving up the Ramp to take him on. As usual for Elites, Plasma Pistol Charged bolt for the shields and Needle to the Head. As you head down, pick up the Plasma Launcher and drop the Plasma Pistol. Drive the Revenant to the drop off and kill the Jackals. Then, Like with the First AA gun, fire upon the Turret with the Vehicle. This will eventually kill it from a safe distance.

Now, the Wraiths are the biggest threat now and the thing to do is to remove the one on the left with the Plasma Launcher. Once that's done, move to the right staying on the other side of the huge wall. Head to the Falcon and pick up the Grenade launcher dropped there. Take out the Grunt in the Turret seat with the Needle Rifle then EMP it to get close enough to destroy it. Then get back in the Revenant and bomb the areas where enemies remain.

Now you have the Falcon ride and this bit will be the part where you can loose it badly. Take the left hand side turret and remember that you have unlimited ammo and these Grenades are really powerful. Don't bother with the EMP function and remember that they don't Arc that much. Fire as soon as you can see something. To hesitate, is to die. There are about 4 AA turrets, a Wraith and a few Grunts & Elites scattered about. Once they're all wiped out you'll move into the Shield.

Grab a Jet pack, Health and Ammo. Take out the Grunts but more importantly the Skirmishers that have the Needle and Focus Rifles. They do a lot of damage. After making sure that most of the Snipers are down, hug the right side wall and Jet Pack over towards the pipes. Get yourself right on top of them and towards the middle. The turrets can't hit you from here. Fly over into the Grav lift and ride it up to the top. There is one Elite with a sword and a bunch of Grunts, 2 with Fuel Rods. Take a Plasma Pistol and any other weapon to deal with them all, use the rest of your grenades. Remember, once the button is pressed, the level is over so you don't need to worry about killing them all.

That's that, Have fun and don't die.
