It took me 17 tries to figure this out, however I think I figured out a simple multi part solution. (1) Try to safely Shepard all of the miners you can from the beginning of the level to the crashed pelican. (2) BEFORE you cross the bridge the is a miner with a rocket launcher who needs a ride. Give her one. (3) Do as this guide says and use your gauss hog as a shield for as many miners as possible after you drive over the crashed pelican while proceeding to wreck those forerunner noobs. (4) Profit. The achievement requires the difficulty to be set on heroic at least, and despite that and me playing solo, I got 11 (ELEVEN) miners alive to the elevator. Hope this helps and saves you from some frustration. GL
Just a sidenote: Let the miners enter the bulding before the elevator before you. If you go in, the door closes and you lose all miners outside. It happened to me while I had 8 living miners outside...
Soooooo helpful. I haven't even tried this one yet because I thought the miners had to survive all the way to the top. I might try this one later tonight or tomorrow. Thanks silver!!!
Just done this after several attempts, my first few goes I could only manage 5 survivors. I reloaded the level and took the very first part of the level slowly, escorting one of the other warthogs to the crashed pelican, not sure why but nothing seemed to spawn in this part. When I got over the crashed pelican, gunner took out the enemies and as I got the checkpoint I had 11 survivors?! No idea how this happened but it meant it got the acheivement!
I like to equip one of my Spartan's with a Rocket Launcher, and have them sit in the passenger seat of the Gauss Hog. Then I have double the fire power when driving into each section. It can be a bit of a pain trying to coax the person withe Rocket Launcher to get in the right seat though.
*Tip* use UP on the D-pad to prioritize targets, this will actually direct whatever Spartan may be on the Gauss turret, I am not sure if it works on any other A.I such as miners
I would recommend not rushing through the mission, and save as many as you can before you reach the elevator, and make sure that most of them get through the closing doors. I saved 15 on Heroic by doing this, which made the elevator very easy.
@@phyto12 We’re pretty sure that the game was glitched/broken. Some of my friends in the group got the achievement while I was sitting there with nothing. Maybe you’d normally think Xbox is just taking a while and will show the achievement notification on a delay in the future but I never got anything. We all tried this twice and it was literally just broken only for me. An achievement that is literally impossible for me to get because it’s broken lol. I guess your trying to get this achievement now?
this is actually impossible for me i've consistently had like 10 of them and it just doesn't give me the achievement idk what to do but put it on legendary instead of heroic
I hate this so much the Spartans always splattered the Marines in the other hog and the the turret person shot at the Marine and are some damn slow at killing
My AI either will look at the enemies but not shoot or get in shotgun and not help. I hate the AI in this game. The enemies murder the marines once I am past the downed pelican.
