I brought the arcane sentinel beam all the way to this fight a few days ago and it was still hell taking me hours to do. Finally beat it on legendary tho!
I struggled on heroic...certainly next level movement here Also, I found that you can "trap" the chieftain in a ramp loop, it's funny watching him chase after you then you jump off and he jumps off too but then you immediately grapple back up
it didn't work for me when the game came out. I did that and it worked for like 3 loops then he jumped back up right behind me. This fight is really unbalanced and broken. I wanted to play Halo, not Doom Eternal. This plays like a Doom Eternal arena fight and i played that game on highest difficulty and even that felt a bit more balanced and fair. The Chieftain can literally jump from one end of the map to the other as fast as your grapple. Also the chief doesn't move as fast as the doom slayer.
The seminal beam is the only feasible way to do this other than maybe the sniper if you have god tier aim. Energy sword works wonders on the boss itself but that doesn’t save you from all those shock rifle monkeys and elites.
I would've loved to see a dynamic map for this encounter, like a multiplatform type of map like with H2 Tartarus but with a lot more levels, or something with a banshee chase and the Harbinger running away teleporting. Closed arena maps for the boss battles got repetitive very quickly in my opinion
@@GravemindGaming Especially when the boss itself has very few attacks and every wave is just a bunch of enemies being pumped in through the same handful of doors. Still the best boss fights in the series by a mile but the Harbinger is one of the weaker ones for sure.
I loved this battle personally. Wish they would have thrown in a couple turret chieftains for the 1st and 2nd waves. It's so lit when that beast chieftain comes though
It was the flying monkeys with the commando rifle that kept doing me in the first times. I still had the sniper rifle so they were the first to go. Then I used the cinder shot on the harbinger I kept running around the stairs and underneath because her shock balls couldn’t make turns. They can follow you and hit you if your in the open.
The hammer also worked for me on the 3rd phase. Nothing else made a dent before the orbs got me. I finally succeeded by luring her up to the 2nd level so she couldn't teleport to one side and then smashed her. That stunned her back so just followed against the wall and kept striking. It took all of the hammer energy but that was enough. 1st and 2nd phase were easy...just grapple her and hit a few times with the energy sword.
Thanks!😁 This video helped give me ideas for my own strategy! Basically grapple shot around the place into safe zones to take cover and get your bearings, sentinel beam the sh!t out of everything!😂 But god damn, that chieftain beat me into a lifeless ragdoll quite a few times!🤣 I beat it today on Legendary after about 10 or 11 attempts!🙈
I actually killed her with the cheiftans grav hammer too. Did the whole legendary playthrough live on twitch!! Needless to say took alot of tries. . 😅😅 GGs Bro
Finally beat it. Although, I'm still not entirely sure how I killed the Brute Chieftain 😅. I was fighting everything, and periodically I'd shoot the Chieftain and then I looked over and he was just dead! I only shot him like 5 times with the sentinel gun. I still have no idea how it happened because i definitely didn't do enough damage to have killed him.😅😂😂😂
sentinel gun to the face really does enormous damage to him. It melts his shield pretty quick and damage ensures! Maybe you just got him better than you thought?
That brute chieftain was the hardest boss in the game for me 😁
Exact Bro, i'm still trying to beat him legendary with all the ball.
Facts
My second play through with the tank gun, made the first hell worth it
Frr
Best weapon for this mission is Sentinel
The Endless feel like they are the few Precursors that didn’t grind themselves to dust and instead got locked up.
nah, Precursors don't involve thereselves in the milkyway, They got reseeded in another galaxy and the others are in different galaxies
"Chief, I think the better question is when are we"
Back to the future theme plays as credits roll

Scorpion gun got me through my LASO run and much much trial and error got me through my Legendary runthrough
Your movement and quick judgement is not unnoticed. Best fight I have seen against Legendary Cheiftan and Harbinger! 👌👍
Thank you!
Absolute class. Incredible mate! I think I’m good and then watch you and I’m humbled.

Okay, this I gotta watch.
Even on Normal, I had problems fighting her.
I loved this but the brute chieftain is harder than the harbinger, so I did find that quite annoying
Yeh first time playing I must've died like 20 times
Discussion time
How could've this boss fight been better than what we got?
I'm asking because people seem to hate on this boss fight
I would've loved to see a dynamic map for this encounter, like a multiplatform type of map like with H2 Tartarus but with a lot more levels, or something with a banshee chase and the Harbinger running away teleporting. Closed arena maps for the boss battles got repetitive very quickly in my opinion
@@GravemindGaming that would’ve been sick

The hit and wait method for fighting the harbinger is so generic and boring
@@opulenthalo yeah the long pauses between waves tend to take you out of the action, really my only problem with the fight.
Mad props, the movement and accuracy was on point. It took me quite a few tries on heroic. I couldn’t even imagine legendary 😂
I like how you used the grappling hook for the final blow on the Harbinger.
I loved this battle personally. Wish they would have thrown in a couple turret chieftains for the 1st and 2nd waves. It's so lit when that beast chieftain comes though
That would make it hell not really fun though
@@xnightfall7657 the harder the better
@@ryancastner1407 it would only have been fun with the tank gun, and I don't use the tank gun because it's cheesy as all hell
@@ryancastner1407 I have played the game on heroic it sucks.
@@ryancastner1407 assuming you beat this game on legendary? And it still left you wanting more?

This shit cut my lifespan by at least one year on Legendary
If you notice Cortana says her goodbye in her original purple form from Halo CE so John remembers her as she was …not as who she became
God that sentinel beam was a come up
Sentinel beam and needler saved my ass fighting the damn harbinger.
THAT BRUTE CHIEFTAIN IS PISSED
What is that move at 5:07 ?
Just finished the game on legendary. This was the hardest part of the game for me for sure

I must be the only one who didn't suffer at the hands of the Chieftain
No
Yeah you can just oneshot him with the cindershot
Damn, 12 minutes of fun!!!
The boss battle was pretty good, but it was kinda hard to care about her since she didn't really do much of anything, especially anything "wrong"
Im still sad i beat the entire game on legendary without getting or using any upgrades and there wasnt even an achievment for it
To this day we still dont know what name the weapon chose
The pulse carbine is quite effective against her.
I am still on the first boss the rocket jump and some shots i just cant evade i play legendary as well
you make it look so easy 😭😭
Am I seeing stuff or did you repulse that brute at 5:10????
He grappled him but the gravity hammer blow broke the line. If you watch carefully the Brute doesn't actually move, it's Opulent that's pushed back
The next halo should start off like halo 2 with chief and Esparza getting medals for their work
who's their alibi lol nobody saw them
Imma do it on LASO later today for the headmaster achievement, wish me luck
Edit: that wasn’t that bad
I curbstomped the harbinger with a grav hammer
I beated this myself just yesterday
It took me almost 2 hours to kill that brute chieftain on legendary and this guy did it like nothing...
why didn't the harbinga shoot its homing plasma balls at you its impossible to avoid
What are these graphics? So nice!
High/normal
@@opulenthalo awesome
i saw that death edit
Bro she starts shooting these annoying as blue orbs at me and mf doesn't miss at all
I beat her , I'm literally Spiderman
Why everyone saying the chieftain was so difficult? Beamed his ass so fast lol
Finally beat it. Although, I'm still not entirely sure how I killed the Brute Chieftain 😅.

😓😢 good bye cortana 2001-2021
Dead at 20 years old *sigh*
brute cheiftain was harder than harbinger
I beated this myself
It's reclaimer not forerunner you scank- MC
343 really shit the bed with the story, OG Cortana would never betray chief and the humans. Just garbage writing that even 343 quickly dumped
Nah you're just a hater who shits on everything ignoring all positives
