In phantom on the Ark

I figured out how to get into the phantom on the ark right after activating the cartographer. In single player this is the point that the arbiter flies off with a banshee he hijackes. Its kind of a complex procces so ill go through it step by step. Key items are cpitalized, and the links will take you to pictures that help explain it.

1. Go throught the level The Ark until reaching the scarab
2. GRAB a GRAV LIFT and FUEL ROD GUN, dont waste the ammo on the scarab
3. kill scarab and keep going until the part where you activate the cartagropher
4. BEROFE activating it make sure you have TWO dual wielded PLASMA PISTOLS and the FUEL ROD GUN with ammo

now comes the hard part once you activate it you will be transported to the other side of the place and the arbiter will highjack the bansee and fly away. YOU MUST hit the banshee as the arbiter is hijaking it with an overcharged plasma pistol blast, this will make it fall. If you shoot to soon the ship will fall and not get up, and the arbiter will slowly turn invisible and disapear, you cant fly the banshee the only thing you can do to it is blow it up or flip it. IF you kill the arbiter and then activate the cartographer two arbiters will be spawned.

5. you must zap it with plasma pistol and then shoot it with the fuel rod gun and keep repeating so it doesn't fly away http://www.bungie.net/stats/halo3/scree ... d=32765779
6. YOU MUST SHOOT IT SO IT TRIES TO FLY THROUGH THE OPEN COLUMN NEAR THE DOOR AND GETS STUCK, THIS WILL ALSO CUASE THE PHANTOM TO FREEZE. THIS WILL PROBOBLY TAKE LOTS OF TRIES SO JUST KEEP TRING.

7. THEN BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ELSE MAKE SURE IT IS NOT GOING ANYWARE AND KEEP GOING THROUGH THE LEVEL UNTIL YOU GET A CHECKPOINT.
8. Then go back up and on the way grab a BATTLE RIFLE or another medium range bullet gun like a spiker or assualt rifle to shoot down the grunts in the turrents. ALSO GRAB A PLASMA PISTOL if you don't still have one.
9. Use the GRAV LIFT to get onto the phantom turrent and get into it. it wont move. http://www.bungie.net/stats/halo3/scree ... d=32765874
10. Then SHOOT THE BANSHEE with your PLASMA PISTOL, and quikly get on the phantom turrent as it will now fly away.
11. You will fly a while until you get to far out of the map and die/

It would be awsome if someone cut edit that to make it shorter.

do not get on the turrent till your past the invisble wall make sure your in the phantom then you got it

Err.. I dont think you can i tried and the map kinda ends and you die there isnt a barrier. any other ideas?

Also some other really hilarius things just for fun you can also ride on top of the banshee into the air, but you still die. And if you kill the phantom with the fuel rod gun and then zap the banshee to untrap it the the arbiter flies off really wierdly like hes drunk and about halfway out he jumps from the banshee and kills hemself!!!
