How to unlock the Enemy of my Enemy achievement in Halo 5: Guardians - Definitive Guide


Mission: Osiris, Heroic difficulty, can be done solo

Near the end of the level you will see a group of Covenant troops fighting Prometheans. You need to help Elite General (golden armor) reach the entrance at the top of the hill. Pick up the best weapons before you leave cave (Light Rifle), stay on the right side of the map so you can see the entire battle field, don't get too close to him (he will start shooting at you) and don't let him die. You can send your Spartans forward so they will focus on the Promethean soldiers. If Elite dies, reload checkpoint asap.

You can make a copy of your checkpoint using one of three available slots in menu so you don't have to restart entire level if you screw up.

Here's a very important point: to get the achievement you just have to reach the far door with the Gold Elite alive, regardless of how many bad guys are still alive.

What I did was make sure I had two, fully loaded medium range weapons when I entered the section, saved checkpoint (in case I failed), I hung back picking off the larger bad guys while sending my AIs forward and giving them specific targets to hit in the distance (they do pretty well at killing a target together), I kept an eye on the Gold Elite to ensure he wasn't dead or getting shot at by anything big, then when I was at the point where the turrets are were in firing range I just bolted to the door - throwing out a few grenades to distract the bad guys and using my bumper boost and cn_B boost to gain some extra ground. I ran up the left side of the ramp - which seemed the less busy side and popski.

I've tried this in coop, and with other methods without success - this worked like a charm the first time.

This is probably the hardest achievement of all the mission-specific achievements. He advances so fast and and I just couldn't manage to kill everything fast enough. I think it would be MUCH easier in 4 player coop.

4 player recommended, solo is near impossible, and 2 player takes ages to get good RNG for the prometheans locations, and for your retard squadmates to not kill the general, I tried killing off my teammates first, but that took so much time that the prometheans would have already killed the general

I don't know how it works, but I've been trying yesterday in 3 player coop and we failed, while today I managed to do it solo without that much trouble. But at first strange thing happened to me, as I saved the Elite two times, killing all the enemies, and he kept fighting me and wouldn't go on the final area. Maybe it had something to do with reloading a checkpoint in the middle of the fight. So I restarted the whole section using the copy of the save and just went in one go without really paying attention to him, just focusing on sending the teammates forward and killing soldiers, and it worked.

For some reason I understood incorrectly I need to save the Elite and the Jackals. After using the right route I managed to get this one with only the Elite surviving to the end. I suggest you tell your team to attack the Splinter Turret soldiers when ever possible.

Wanted to confirm Bernman 117. Great tip! I grabbed the scattershot in the left cave and just rushed to the door. Just move the team with you and survive for a minute or so and it popped.

If your AIs are as retarded as mine are, just target the Elite for them to shoot. Then you know for sure they aren't going to kill him.

Great video, I was able to pop the achievement last night after only 4 or 5 solo attempts following this guide. Really not that hard since I just finished my solo legendary campaign run. I just kept pushing the AI spartans further up the field while I sniped soldiers with the LR. Was just the last part that was troublesome with the turret guys. I ended up sending the AI to the right turret while I went for the left. Was too busy focusing on killing the rest of the soldiers at the top that I didn't even notice the Elite was right behind me and 'pop' - cheevo unlocked

Whoever said about rushing and go to the left cave and grab the Scattershot and proceed afterwards, THANK YOU! It finally popped. I couldn't get that damn elite to go to the top, but that way, he did it no problems. It took about 6 tries, and about 7 minutes. Thank you!

I got real lucky. The Elite got stuck on the side right at the beginning on a little platform. Then just cleared the area, saved went back and bopped him of it and he ran straight up and pop. I had tried for an hour the day before ! I was hanging back when he got stuck.

I noticed I was able to bait the covenant a little to slow them down. Once I saved the elite from the left turn at the top of the hill, he switched to an ally and stopped shooting me. After that I took out the turrets and helped him take out the three soldiers that run out the door. Easier on solo than I expected.

Just did this with my cousin....we both died at the top of the hill RIGHT as the Elite got there, and he died as well while we were in the process of reloading the checkpoint. The achievement popped for both of us during the reload screen. So no, you don't have to kill all enemies, you just have to get to the hill alive and make sure he gets there in one piece as well.

Hardest level specific achievement. It took so many tries of keeping him alive for him to not glitch out and get stuck attacking me once everyone was dead. I finally got it all in one go without loading any checkpoints and it worked that time so I don't know if that's important. Definitely extremely glitchy and difficult on solo. Took me over an hour of trying it to get the elite to actually keep running to the end point.

Not as hard with a partner. If you're playing Locke just remember to target enemies for your AI because they are pretty dumb. Once at the end have your AI take out turrets as you push the right side.

My winning solo attempt was to take the high ground on the right as shown in the video then always push ahead and order the team forward to keep them from fighting the Covenant forces. I was better off when most of them were downed. You can save time and ammo by shooting Promethean soldiers until almost dead, then the Covenant will finish them off.

Best strategy I can find is don't rush up. He will usually only push up if you do and only to a certain point, leaving you free to clear out enemies in the distance without threat of him dying.
If you can get your team on the right side, just send them up the side all the way to the top, the enemies wont spawn until you get closer and the elite will most likely hang near you like he did for me. Checkpoints every now and then (and saving them) made this relatively painless.

I did it solo. Toke promitean rifle and cover de Elite from behide. In the miedle of the way, some one says on radio "kraken goes way", I rush to the final door, calling atention and ordering my IA to shoot turents soldiers. When the Elite steps in the final platafor, by the exit door, de achiviment pops. You dons't need to kill all enemies.

This solution made it simple. I had to reload checkpoint once because I dawdled.
I led the squad up the right side to keep them out of the Elite's way. I killed the one turret-soldier (high on the rock arch), and then ran past everything. I got downed near the platform, my AI squad revived me, and then I threw two splinter grenades at the platform and hid. The Elite was there about 5 seconds later and the achievement popped.

Mission 1 - Osiris
Difficulty: Heroic (Co-op Recommended)

Near the end of the level you'll enter a large uphill battle area where covenant and promethean are fighting. At the bottom of the hill you'll notice a gold armoured Elite and you'll need to make sure he stays alive so that he can reach the top of the hill once all the promethean are killed. You'll want to make sure you are prepared by picking up the Light Rifle and Suppressor or Carbine in the previous areas. From the start of this battle you'll want to run up the right hand side killing prometheans while scanning the battlefield for potential threats that might come in contact with the Elite. The Elite likes to rush forward, so feel free to have someone in your co-op group keep him busy by getting his attention and dodging his bullets. If you're doing this solo, tell your team to run as far up the hill as possible. If they stay behind they will shoot and kill the Elite. Near the top flank from the right and kill the turrets. Once at the top of the hill the Elite will join your team, but the achievement will not unlock until all other enemies are alive! Reload the checkpoint if he dies or there is any other problems.

What do you mean by "will not unlock until all other enemies are alive". Is that a typo - do you mean until they're all dead? Regardless, it popped for me with some prometheans alive but I've seen other vids where it pops and they're all dead. Don't think it makes a difference, as long as the Elite gets there.

I just want to add to this guide as I was stuck for ages. Somewhere along the battle my golden Elite was killed and a new blue Elite joined the battle but I didn't know this. I was reloading my checkpoint for nearly an hour wondering why I wasn't getting the achievement even though the Elite survived until the end and the blue Elite was trying to kill me. So if it doesn't work for you, check you've got the right ally.

I just got this with a co-op group, and wanted to add a few pointers in addition to the solutions already posted.

You do not need to kill all enemies. Just get him to the top. The achievement unlocked for us as soon as he was at the top of the hill. There were still tons of enemies and he was still duking it out with someone at the top when it popped.

Focus on the turrets. Those will tear him (and you) apart. We spent way too many attempts killing every single enemy in the first half, only to have him sprint ahead really fast and get torn apart by the two turrets at the top of the hill.

Move up quicker that you think. This is related to the previous tip, but it seemed like he can take care of himself pretty well for the first half. Just get rid of the turret(s?) on the first half, and move up far enough to snipe the last two turrets. Of course, kill anything you need to in order to get to that point. Once all turrets are gone, just keep enemies off his back so he can keep moving up.

Hope this is at least somewhat helpful. This turned out to be much harder than we thought it'd be (that Elite moves fast!). Good luck!

Strategy Guide w/ vid for easily getting this trickier-than-most cheevo (notice that I don't die/get revived the entire way, and I'm not playing particularly well):

- Save checkpoint to 1 of your 3 slots before the area where Elite General is (see vid, save checkpoint right where vid starts). There are interim checkpoints and if general dies you'd have to play the whole level again w/o this save.
- Make sure you have a fully-loaded (36 shots) Light Rifle and 2 grenades when you get there. You don't need any other special weapon.
- Stay on the RIGHT the entire time.
- Make sure your AI teammates follow you up the ledge ON THE RIGHT before proceeding. Wait until all 3 pass you at the start of the ledge, otherwise they may go on the left and engage (and kill) the Elite.
- Constantly tell your AIs to keep charging forward up ahead
- Watch vid for additional tips & tricks.

This achievement must be done on the Heroic difficulty level or higher.

Towards the end of this mission, you will emerge from a cave and into a small, open canyon where some Covenant forces are engaging the Promethean threat. You’ll know when you reach this canyon as Locke will comment, "Our destination is on the other side of this battlefield". At this time, hitch a right while exiting the cave and jump onto the raised ledge.

Off to the left on the ground below, you should notice an Elite General in golden armor fighting off a few Promethean Crawlers. Using whatever is at your disposal, eliminate the Prometheans in this entire canyon and do not let the Elite General die! If he does, make sure to revert your checkpoint. Also, make sure to keep your distance by staying on the raised ledge; if you get too close to the General, he will turn hostile and focus fire on you!

Once you reach the end of the canyon and finish off the last of the Promethean Soldiers guarding the facility's entrance, this achievement will unlock provided the Elite General has survived the skirmish.
