Defeating the Scarab : FPS / MMORPG / RTS Discussion

Instead of following the Marines, go staight across the bridge. You will find a sniper. Take it, then jump on the Scarab and shoot all the Elites and pilots.


If the people on the Scarab are taking down your shields, get on the gun turret. Fire at them madly. They will hide and allow time for your shields to recover. Then, jump on the Scarab and blow their head off by surprise.


When you fight the enemies on the Scarab, mostly Elites and Grunts, start running down the path. You will see rocket launcher ammunition. Collect it if you have a rocket launcher, as it will make battle easier when you enter the Scarab. Your second weapon should be a shotgun or dual plasma rifles in case you lose rocket launcher ammunition.


The Scarab is a six legged behemoth with weapons. It carries about ten Elites and six or seven Grunts. You cannot destroy it -- do not waste your rockets. Follow the Marines. The scarab Will be walking past it for about five minutes. Get the sniper rifle and rocket launcher. Snipe while walking towards the bridge. Snipe or shoot them with your rocket launcher, etc. When there are only a few people left on the platform, get a decent short range weapon (shotgun, plasma rifle, or SMG recommended), then jump onto the Scarab's top level. Go down a ramp, then go down a small staircase. Clear out the remaining Elites and Grunts. Once that is done, an intermission sequence will begin, and you have finished the Scarab.
