The finale of Halo 2 can be hard if you don't know what to do. With these steps it can be a snap!

Steps

  1. Preparation for this fight should be early on. Before you meet Sergeant Johnson there is a room with several brutes and some prisoners you can free. Take the chief tin's brute shot.
  2. Grab a Banshee and escort Johnson to the temple near the start of the level.
  3. Defeat the brutes who come for you and go to the control room.
  4. Once you reach Tartarus (the boss), Throw a "sticky" (plasma grenade) and stick it to one of his minions so that they all die. It is recommended that you grab the shotgun. The sword is also effective so switch for one from your elite allies.
  5. Dodge ALL of his attacks, and let your allies deal with him up close. Johnson will continually snipe him with a beam rifle.
  6. Let Johnson snipe him, it will lower Tartarus's shield which leaves him vulnerable for a time. This is the time to fire at him. Use whatever weapon you will, its risky to get close but the sword can take him down easier.
  7. Make sure you get a lock-on with the sword to deal the most damage.
  8. Shooting him is also good for defeating him easily, stay on the platform with Johnson and snipe him for a while. Then jump down and get up close, always go for head shots.

Tips

  • Always move back, never forward if his shield is up
  • You COULD be able to fit the Banshee and the Ghost and use it in this fight, but only if damaged enough.
  • Your allies are not cannon fodder for this fight. They can help you, let them take some damage and deal some of their own then go in for a kill.
  • After Tartarus jumps down onto the platform, don't go after him! Wait till a moving platform passes by, jump on it, and stay crouched. The moment Johnson lowers his shield, shoot him. Using a Dual Wielded Brute Plasma Rifle for this is one of the best methods to kill him without getting too close.

Warnings

  • Receiving three hits is enough to get killed, or one on legendary difficulty.
  • He is invincible to any attack with his shield up but if he is chasing you try to get to a ledge and jump away to a safe spot, he may fall down.
