It took many many tries for me to finish that room. Finally, went back
& started the whole game again, using very very few grenades on the
first boarding level, then pick up and put down every weapon you can
find before activating the checkpoint as you approach the second
boarding level. ESPECIALLY the 2 needlers must be saved!!

I found that every weapon I touched was still there later when I needed
it, if I didn't "pick it up and put it down" it had evaporated by the
time I needed it.

Do your best to clear the room. I used dual plazma rifles most of the
time. After the wave with Elites with dual weapons comes out, throw
some grenades and run like hell back to the original room, go back up
top and get some grenades, and get your dual needlers and rock them.

Also found with dual neelers jumping high from cover & shooting needlers
together works well .... most of the time.

I'll add, I'm currently in the "prophet punching room" and am having a
hell of a time... anyone who has tips for completing this on legendary,
they would be appriciated.

The trick here is to be patient and prepare to die a dozen or so times.
After dying, revert to save immediately and try again. Move fast. The trick
is to get the rythym down to kill a few swordies then jump the prophet to
bitch slap him. Then, after he kicks you off, hopefully you can get away and
hide shortly, before the new swordies come out. Avoid/run away from the
prophet guards with the dual lasers. They will kill you very quickly. Don't
be a fraidy cat though. Look for the chance to run up and throw a grenade in
a guards face.

Eventually, you will advance your checkpoint and have a few prophet smacks
behind you.

I think the trick is not to hesitate, because the guards WILL NOT stop
coming out. Be tenacious. It helps to get pissed off.

A low tech way to beat the level. Good Luck,
