How to defeat first boss on legendary?

[Zarious101]

I have a skewer and a plasma carbine but he just kills me in two shots.

nvm, just did it. So if you hold onto the skewer, get some grenades during the fight and the plasma carbine. Lure him downstairs and use the grenades and carbine to take his shield down. When his shield is down he seems to be less agro and will try to instead bait you out with his hydra. Use the skewer to get him when his shield is down. in my case I had to finish him off with the carbine but it was a real headache. I hope they lower his damage in the future because that sucked.

Good luck when you get to boss #3, Brassus or something. He uses a grav hammer and slides around like he is on ice skates, its was the most unfun thing Ive ever had to do in a Halo game, and Im only on Heroic.

Yea i was scratching my head on this one too on legendary. I didn't have a skewer on me. I had a pulse carbine and the brute pistol or whatever its called. He just one shots me constantly. I had to do 10 tries. But eventually I got him by weaving around with the grappling hook.

Brassus on legendary had me questioning my life. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ would leap across the room and grav hammer in my general vicinity instantly killing me, plus he took like 500000000 shots to kill. I'm gonna be honest I think the bosses are a cool idea, but so far on legendary they're just not fun.

I'm only playing on Normal because I prefer story over challenge and Brassus was a pain.
The speed with which he slides towards felt like he ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ teleported.
And the area you fight him in doesn't really allow you to dodge effectively

The second Boss sucks so much. Well, maybe not with some energy weapons. But it does with a Commando and BR.

They aren't fun on Heroic either. The easiest way to kill them is just spam grenades, there are no interesting mechanics or tricks other than throwing a fusion coil and sticking them, shock them and then stick them. Bullet sponge enemies are such poor design.

I actually accidentally found a way to cheese him. I grappled onto a ledge on top of a door way and the AI was confused enough not to hit me.

Yeah, its a terrible place to fight him in. I hate that He and the berzerker brutes seem to just fly at you, they look stupid as hell because they definitely arent running as fast as they move and they just slide to you. Really lame...

Brassus was just going in circles and I was lucky enough to discover this
