Tayari Plaza (level)/Walkthrough

Legendary Walkthrough
After the cut-scene you will start near your pod, at the top of a flight of stairs. Brutes and grunts would be scattered along the street below you. use your Auto-Mag to kill most of the grunts. By now the brutes would have spotted you. Use the sandbags in front of you for cover while you descend the stairs and grab a Plasma Pistol from a fallen grunt. Use it with the Auto-Mag in a noob combo to take out the brutes, taking cover behind a nearby bus if necessary.

When the area is clear, proceed along the street until you meet some marines, one of whom would ask you to lend a hand. They would lead you into a pack of brutes and grunts. The marines would probably die quickly so help yourself to their ammo. After taking out the enemies, keep going until you are confronted by a plasma turret. Taking it out is first priority so stick it with a plasma or spike to destroy it, or snipe the heavy grunt manning it. After that take out the brutes and grunts nearby, then grab the turret for future use. It is interesting to note that although it says on the Halo 3 manual that only Spartans or Elites can detach turrets, Buck can detach it too and even carry it around, despite not being augmented. Keep going down the road and you should see a sniper tower. Watch out for Jackal snipers and take them out with your Auto-Mag. Do not waste your turret here as you will need it for later. After all the enemies are dead, pick up your turret, grab a Carbine from a dead Jackal and proceed to open a gate in-front of you. Going through the gate and drop the turret near it, you would see a number of marines pinned down by enemy fire. Clear the area in-front of you, then run into the building to the left of a marine pinned down behind a piece of cover, then go upstairs and find a good sniping spot.Use your carbine to take out Jackal Snipers and Carbine Brutes quickly, and then kill Shielded jackals and Brutes and Grunts. Captain Dare would talk into your comm, saying that she is spotted by the Covenant and Buck will reply that he will get there soon. Do not let this rush you as you must play this part slowly and systematically to avoid dying, as checkpoints are few and far between. Now go back to pick up your turret and proceed forward, across an overhead bridge and go downstairs.You should be attacked by many hunters, two of whom would be the new Golden Hunters. Pump them full of plasma with your turret. If for some reason you do not have a turret, try to get them to fire on their comrades by standing between 2 Hunters and jump out of the way when they fire, causing them to hit another Hunter. Another method is to stick them full of grenades to kill them. WARNING! Do NOT stick a CHARGING Hunter as he will most probably bump into you while the grenade detonates, killing you both.
