Marauders’ Grotto
Super: Not available
Grenades: Not available
Head down to the road and crouch to maneuver through the rusting barricade and into a murky and overgrown forest area. Leap the gap in the road; if you don’t make it, climb back up and practice until you can accurately land jumps. Press on into a pitch-black tunnel. As Ghost illuminates your path, switch to your Power weapon when prompted. Since this is usually a shotgun, you can make short work of the troublesome Fallen just ahead and below.
Drop into the grotto with your shotgun fully loaded. As the Fallen Marauders scamper at you with their functional cloaking devices, pick out the blue shimmers and blast them before they get close. They can easily kill you with their knife-wielding melee attacks, so standing firm and shooting them across the grotto is a good plan. Keep aiming and fire between reloads so the last of the Marauders doesn’t get to melee range.
You can strafe and use an SMG if you want, but this isn’t as effective in this particular location. After the fight, climb the opposite side of the grotto, and follow the tunnel.
