Don't know if this is just my game or everyones but johnson never gets his shield down properly for me. He fires 2 shots which mean you have to fire at him again with the sniper, carbine etc and the banshee can never get down his shield and do damage to him.

How to kill him in 10 seconds I just standby him. It's not easy, but really fun. And there's bragging rights, too The Banshee kills Tartarus easily enough. For the record, there is a way take down Tartarus's shield AND kill him under a minute. After Johnson "opens" the door to control room, backtrack for a new Banshee fly it in and when you get thru wrecked passage get to open the then get back in then continue on and when the first batch of brutes run in fly in the door.

Marcus Banks , as they required a Reclaimer to activate the Installation. Despite Thel's warnings of the betrayal of the Prophets and even Guilty Spark's own account of Halo's true purpose, Tartarus remained unshakably loyal to the Hierarchs and retained blind faith in their promises.

His hatred for the Sangheili and his desire to secure the Jiralhanae's place in the Great Journey kept him from seeing reason, and he forced Keyes to unify the Index with Installation 05's control panel activating the ring.

Tartarus declared that the Jiralhanae, not the Sangheili, would be the escorts of the Prophets to the Divine Beyond and then engaged Thel 'Vadam, while Sgt. Johnson and several other Sangheili, confronted the Jiralhanae who were protecting the Chieftain. Tartarus used the Fist of Rukt to devastating effect, killing many of the attacking Elites, but was eventually brought down by Thel 'Vadam after Johnson lowered Tartarus' overshields with a Beam Rifle.

Tartarus is easily recognized by his silver fur, very deep voice, his distinctive "Mohawk," and the fact that he wielded the Fist of Rukt. His devotion and faithfulness to the Covenant and the Prophets is unwavering, and he strongly represents the general attitude of his entire race: rough, arrogant, and disdainful of the Sangheili.

He was a powerful, aggressive, and intelligent leader who inspired both fear and respect in his Jiralhanae forces. Tartarus is also the nephew of Maccabeus , whom he killed on the bridge of Rapid Conversion in order to gain the position of the Chieftain of the Jiralhanae.

Also, Sergeant Johnson refers to Tartarus as "Mr. Mohawk" on Halo 2's last mission, when talking to Thel 'Vadam. Before he became Chieftain, Tartarus wielded the Type Carbine with deadly force, with both its projectiles and fierce blades. Tartarus used an empty Carbine in his battle against his uncle Maccabeus. Eventually, he defeated Maccabeus and gained his new primary weapon, the Fist of Rukt. Tartarus was able to wield the Fist of Rukt with great strength, effortlessly decimating foes in a single blow.

In the battle between the Arbiter during the Battle of Installation 05 , his shield was so strong that only direct hits from a Beam Rifle could penetrate it. The shield quickly recharged, making Tartarus invincible once more. Even without his shield, Tartarus was still able to take enormous amounts of damage before succumbing to his injuries, a trait all Jiralhanae share.

The Fist of Rukt is the personal weapon of Chieftain Tartarus. It not only serves as an excellent melee weapon, but can alter gravity to move objects and living beings around. It is passed down from generations to generations in his family, by killing the current Chieftain in a battle.

It is believed to be the first seen and most powerful Gravity Hammer in existence though this can be disputed. It was not mentioned after Tartarus' death, despite non-canon references by Unggoy in Halo 3.

Halo Alpha Explore. Getting Started. This may take a few tries to get on approach and takes a great deal of patience, but is well worth it to certain players. In the second to last part of the level where Sergeant Avery Johnson destroys the door with a Scarab , wait for him to shoot the door then fly into it. Though not required, it is advisable that you destroy the two wings of the Banshee before you enter the door.

You can still make it with the wings, but you'll just damage them and it will take a longer time. After you get inside the door, start flying upward and then forward. You will fly over one wall and then get stuck in between two walls. When this happens, fly downward. Your Banshee will end up in front of the door. At this point, get out of your Banshee, so the door will open.

Get back in the Banshee and boost through the door but be wary of plasma grenades. A few Brutes will engage you, use the Fuel Rod Cannon to grind them into powder and fly in the room and through the doors the Brutes came in. When you do this, a cutscene will show Tartarus activating Delta Halo. After the scene finishes, you can either kill the Brutes and then run backwards past Johnson, or just get the Banshee right then when the scene ends.

Your Banshee will be sitting in the hallway and you can use it to fly through the pillars and fight Tartarus.
