Halo 5: Guardians Guide Campaign Walkthrough Mission 7: Reunion
The Mantle of Responsibility
The Warden Eternal contacts Blue Team as they navigate the subterranean passage that follows. It seems protective of Cortana and more than a little spiteful toward humans. As you advance and listen to the Warden, look for a short drop in the path. Don’t drop down this little lip, but make a sharp left to discover a nearby weak wall 22. Charge through to access a side passage.
The side passage leads to a small waterfall. Carefully circle around the central pit to reach a Forerunner console. Scan the console for intel.

Backtrack from the waterfall and notice a higher passage just to the left (as you face the waterfall). Climb into this passage and then follow it to reach an advantageous position for a coming battle 23.
As you advance toward 23, a few Watchers and multiple Soldiers suddenly spawn in the cavern ahead, including a dangerous Soldier Sniper armed with a Binary Rifle. Bring down the Watchers with your Suppressor, marking them as priority targets for Blue Team. Cripple the rest of the Soldiers with your Suppressor as well, marking the wounded for Blue Team to mop up.
Alternate ApproachIf you prefer to flank the Soldiers instead of firing from the sniper perch, advance until the constructs spawn, then turn left and charge through a different wall 24 to access a separate side passage that leads to a forward position on the left 25. Unload on the Soldiers from here, falling back into the passage to recover shields as needed. |
When you’re ready to advance, trade your Suppressor for the Binary Rifle stationed on this perch. Leap around to the Soldier Sniper’s perch and collect the Binary Rifle it dropped to gain more ammo. Remain on the perch and use the Binary Rifle to pick off the Soldiers that spawn ahead, prioritizing the numerous Soldier Captains armed with deadly Splinter Turrets.
Advance and charge through a weak wall on the right 26 to reach another side passage that lets you advance more safely. Alternatively, leap up to the high ledges on the left 27 to gain superior firing angles on the constructs and opportunities for Ground Pounds. Wherever you go, stay mobile to avoid being blasted by the Soldier Captains’ deadly volleys.
Legendary StrategyThe Soldier Captains’ Splinter Turrets can spell instant death on Legendary. Keep track of the Captains and fall back to avoid their devastating bombardments. |
Ammo up after crushing the constructs, then search near the central pit to find another Forerunner console. Scan it for intel, then make your way out of the cavern.
