How to unlock the Take a Hike achievement in Halo 5: Guardians - Definitive Guide

This can be obtained towards the end of level seven reunion. After the battle against the warden cortana will start speaking to you and you will venture into the mountains, she will tell you that you can proceed by foot or use a phaeton to go through. Simply go by foot (jump pads are fine) and the achievement is yours.

This can also be obtained on legendary

If in co-op all players must walk or the achievement won't unlock, thanks PTGigi for the info

Instructing the Ai to get in one will void the achievement.

Thanks for the guide dude! I ended up doing it solo and making sure the AI were around me and not going in ships. I made a video for anyone who might want a visual with your text. Feel free to include in your guide.

I did not get this in co-op (I was on foot, friends in Phaetons) as an added note.

I didn't get this yesterday on Legendary. I think it may be specific to Heroic. Which is dumb. In the middle of a Legendary playthrough right now. Will have to confirm this after.

Make sure no one enters a Phaeton. I just assigned the Phaetons to 2 Teammates and didn't get it. They got wasted almost instantly anyways.
Luckily i saved the checkpoint and got it with everyone on foot.

I did mine on my legendary solo run, as I wondered if trying to find skulls. Thought I was doing it the normal way. Didn't understand what cortana was going on about xD felt like adventuring and killing shit aha.

If you put AI in the Phaeton it doesn't count either.

Dude come on... Add that you can't tell your AI squadmates to jump in either.

If you go in it by accident you can go to last checkpoint. I can confirm that works, achievement still popped

I didn't test if ordering Blue team members into the Phaetons busts the attempt but I do know that having them on foot with you is a lot more helpful. They tend to get lost or stuck in the Phaetons on their own.

Same happened to me blargy118. I was waiting for the Phaetons to appear so I could avoid them and the achievement unlocked! Completely unexpected, didn't realize there was another way to do the jump pad area. :P

Just a little tip. If you are playing solo, don't order your fellow spartans to use a phaeton or you don't get the achievement. Just found out the hard way :S

I got this while doing my Legendary solo run.

To be honest, I only noticed that we have an option to drive a Phaeton when I replayed the level later on and paid attention to what Cortana said at that moment.

So, instead of doing that, simply proceed on foot to the left path, climbing and jumping through whatever obstacles you have to. The achievement will unlock that way without you even noticing as long as you're playing on Heroic or Legendary.

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

Towards the end of this mission, you will venture into a massive canyon a short time after defeating the Warden Eternal. Your "objective" will then comment that you must reach the other side of the canyon either by use of the abandoned Phaetons or through the footpaths.

Hitch a left and start trekking down the footpaths that lead deeper into the canyon. From here on out, you’ll want to continue traveling on foot, taking the man-cannons and defeating the Promethean threat along the way. It’s not too difficult of a task so long as you out-maneuver the Sentinel Beams - or stop to destroy them - and pick off the Prometheans before moving on. Once you reach the final platform of the canyon, this achievement will unlock.
