Punching them off the edge or just flat-out killing them is advisable for this reason, though it should be noted that the second one may be aggravated.Įventually, there will be a wave of sentinels that spawns. The flood combat forms can be killed from afar before they reach the elevator, and a lot of the time the real threat is posed by your elite allies, who can melee you to death and stick you. So long as you avoid death, there is no real timesave or timeloss for the first few minutes. The elevator is an auto-scroller as far as anyone knows. Be ready by the door as the final wave spawns. Two initial waves spawn in these holes, then two in the center, then two in the holes again, then two in the center followed by a final wave from the holes. The waves can spawn in any of the various holes around the upper walls. It is about to flood (literally) with infection forms. Dropping your carbine near the exit door is recommended this way when the door opens you can swap it with your sentinel beam without losing any time.Īfterwards, jump up onto the pillars, or further up into the rafters of the room. Next, pick up a new sword and pick up a sentinel beam (both found on the dead bodies of the flood combat forms).

One way to do this is to kill one Grunt immediately as the level begins, and then to kill the other immediately after the Heretic Leader hologram appears. Killing the two allied Grunts saves time by skipping dialogue, but you should take care to avoid aggravating the Elites. You should firstly sword all of these bodies, so that they don't get revived.

In the first room, the one with the hologram of the Heretic Leader, there are five combat flood forms on the ground.
