This is the second time now. I am playing the 5th mission on SL (Solo Legendary) and the game won't let me go any further than this mission.
Here's the situation. I have just beaten the 3 shield generators and lowered the shield gate. The mammoth roles on through and I destroy the second Forerunner beam thing, then the ship comes in and disables the Mammoth.
The problem: the covenant ship doesn't drop the lift so you can go up it and phantoms just keep bringing wraith and ghosts endlessly and I can't get past here.
The first time the covenant ship thing didn't even appear. What the hell do I do? The game hasn't left my xbox tray since I got it and I've beaten the campaign once already.
Flood halp!

That's happened to me once already. It was about halfway into the Midnight mission right before Cortana takes control of the turrets to help you fight crawlers (which I might add was little to no help on legendary). The scripted event didn't happen and I had no choice but to restart the mission. I call it a scripting/program glitch

I used every single weapon in the mammoth lol.

It didn't break for me.. though taking out those ghosts with assault rifles took forever.

It felt like I had blasted at least 6-7 Wraiths (taking over two of them) before the lift came and I could advance.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ajw34307 You realise you can skip the entire battle by jumping on the rock and Jetpacking up to the Lich, right? You don't need to wait for the gravity lift...[/quote] Did this on my first playthrough, thought I'd be sneaky and steal around the Covenant and try charge to their Wraith, and then suddenly I was told to go in the Lich. Saved me a lot of angst.

Well that level sounds even harder than I had thought it would be. I would try going to last checkpoint or try killing them all.

You have to kill like 20 ghosts and 10 wraiths. It's just a huge grind and it's ridiculous. I didn't get a checkpoint until they were all dead either. I had to kill the marine using my gauss hog and snipe them. Just keep killing vehicles until Cortana tells you to board the ship.

It glitched for me the first time also after that part. The mammoth refused to move.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] brandorobot The only glitches I noticed was banshees flying into walls and getting stuck. On legendary I think this is a good glitch....[/quote] I just chalked that up to Elites drinking Sanghelion brandy heavily the night before, not expecting the Demon to show up and wreak havoc.

You have to kill quite a lot of covenant to get the Beam to come down.
-
The lift doesn't activate until you kill about 5 waves of ghosts and wraiths.

This happened to me earlier. I just sat there for forty-five minutes killing numerous waves of wraiths and Ghosts dropped off by Phantoms. It ended eventually, and I managed to get up the lift when that happened, but it was ridiculous.

Use the Traffic Cone gun.

That levels broken to all hell. On my playthrough I hijacked a ghost at that part and hid behind one of the Mammoths wheels sniping out the other ghosts and wraiths before the game decided I could play the rest of the level. [Edited on 11.15.2012 3:50 PM PST]
