How to unlock the Vidmaster Challenge achievement in Halo: Spartan Assault - Definitive Guide

This achievement is obtained on Operation E Mission 1.

Hollow and Black Eye skulls must be active. The only way you will regenerate your shield is by melee hitting an enemy. You come equipped with the cloak armor ability and you definitely should use it when ever it is ready for use. Initially you want to sneak to the Phantom attacking as little as possible. Once at the Phantom you will need to kill enemies that spawn. Use your grenades when needed and stealth often. Be careful to melee the Elites only do so when you are cloaked.

If you want to make it easier on yourself you can use "Over Shield" for 20 credits or 400 Xp to replace your cloak armor ability.

I just wanted to put this out. When I completed the guidelines for this achievement I did not immediately get the achievement to pop. It took my Xbox One 7 hours to get it to pop. I was even playing a completely different game than this one. I couldn't find this any where else so if anyone has the same problem, just wait for a while it may pop and then unlock. It may have just been my Xbox then. Anyways great solution. +1

I was having quite a bit of trouble with this one. The time I beat it, I went camo and hijacked the ghost, which allowed me to kill all the enemies around and shoot through the trees to the next group of enemies.

Good video and solution, however I found it extremely easy to upgrade to "over shield" for 20 credits or 400 XP. You never have to do 1 melee at all. Just click on your Left Bumper when getting attacked and gain all your life back as well as temporary invincibility. Achievement-unlocked. I recommend to edit this into your solution. I still thumbed you up.

+1 from me, but like Twerked said, mine hasn't popped and I've done it twice now. Just waiting to see when it does.

Just buy the overshield. as soon as your shields go down, revive them and hide till the overshield regens and go back at it! easy.

Overshield makes this achievement SOOO EASY. Literally did it in 2 mins!

Overshield is definitely the way to go. I also found that a combination of grenades and the Needler laid waste to the final few Elites and the Chieftan pretty quickly, too.

Video-guide of Halo: Spartan Assault to get Vidmaster Challenge achievement, which consist in completing the level E-1
with the Hollow and Black Eye skull. So you have just one shield and you recover it with hand to hand attacks.
To complete it we'll be invisible almost all the stage and ignoring all the enemies. If you need some shield killing the invisible enemies
will help us toraise the bar. The trick to kill them without them touching us is to hit them hand to hand while you walk arroud them.
Catch the Brute shot for the final stage to kill all the enemy faster.

There some easier ways to do it, like buying the Over Shield for 400 exp. But I think that totally unnecessary. With some practise you can save up the exp.

This seemed to pop quickly and easily for me involving the rocket launcher. Yes, it costs 2,000 XP, but gets you out of a lot of trouble. And before you vote negatively, my solution was better than the one you didn't post.

One option I used was simply to invoke invisibility whenever in trouble. At the end before the final fight is a turret and some other enemies. Blast away at them with the rocket launcher, and leave nothing living. This will allow you to distance yourself in the final fight without being killed by those guys.

Once you make it to the blue diamond (checkpoint), keep your distance and fire at anything that moves. Once you kill all of the enemies, the achievement pops. It won't get you a gold star, but will get you this achievement.

My first achievement guide, and turns out this achievement was pretty harmless though it takes some tries.
If you don't have the Skull Combo cheevo yet it will come as a bonus.

What I did actually was purchasing the sniper rifle (With reference to the rocket launcher solution above) at the place of the magnum, and the damage boost up extra with a start currency of around 3000 XP, which made it really simple (You can demolish one Wrath with just 2 shots).

Take out the first gang with the plasma turret, then just use the SMG's on the small guys, and the sniper rifle on the vehicles and the bigger guys.
Only tricky is the last part, but even that felt simple.

Remember to take it slow, and always have in mind that the retries are endless.
I didn't use either the cloak or the overshield boost up, but it's all your choice how you want to attempt this 30 worth achievement.

Good luck!

The Hollow and Black Eye skulls must be active. The only way you will regenerate your shield is by melee hitting an enemy. You come equipped with the cloak armor ability and you definitely should use it when ever it is ready for use. Initially you want to sneak to the Phantom attacking as little as possible. Once at the Phantom you will need to kill the group of Elites and Brute Chieftain that spawn behind the energy walls. Use your grenades when needed and stealth often. Be careful to melee the Elites only do so when you are cloaked.

If you want to make it easier on yourself you can use "Over Shield" for 20 credits or 400 Xp to replace your cloak armor ability. Additionally, you can purchase a Sniper Rifle for 1000XP. This will help take down Elites much quicker towards the end.

Initiate Operation E, Mission 1 and equip Hollow (Only shields) and Black Eye (Only melee recharges shields) prior to starting the mission. Also, I highly recommend spending 1,000 XP on the Sniper Rifle to make the last section a breeze (especially the hammer Brute).

Start the mission out by running up the right side and hopping in the turret to kill. Use it to kill the nearby enemies (try to save the next turret, but you don't have to). Now use your active camo ability to survive the combat with the next few enemies. Once your path turns so you're heading NE, use camo and rush straight North to the Wraith that is waiting for you. Use the Wraith to safely clear out all of the enemies, including the turret and other enemies along the road to the North (where you need to go). Once you've cleared the area, head to the Phantom where the objective is and pull out the Sniper Rifle to quickly take out the horde of Elites that come through the barrier to attack you and the Phantom. Once they're all dead, you win.

Note that using this method should also get you a gold star on the mission.
