Follow our Halo Infinite Nexus guide to complete the mission. Learn how to defeat Hunters, activate crucibles, and find collectibles.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Locate the Nexus by fighting through rooms filled with Brutes, Jackals, and Grunts. Use Pulse Carbines for shields and headshots, and grenades for grouped enemies.
  2. 2
    Encounter more Skimmers; kill them quickly as they are weak. Pick up Ravagers or Sentinel Beams from Elite Brutes. Use blast coils and the Grappleshot with an Energy Sword if acquired. Use the Threat Sensor to locate enemies.
  3. 3
    Reach a room with two Hunters. Use cover and powerful weapons like the Ravager or Sentinel Beam found in the room. Move between cover to avoid Hunter fire. Grenades are effective. The Gravity Hammer is good, but the Energy Sword is not recommended for melee. Refill ammo from crates if needed.
  4. 4
    After defeating the Hunters, drop down to a cavern with a gondola. Activate it, and defeat descending Sentinels using the Sentinel Beam. Ammunition is dropped by Sentinels.
  5. 5
    Cross the chasm via an energy bridge that appears after a short wait.
  6. 6
    At the other end, the Nexus is found, triggering a cutscene. You'll be tasked with acquiring three power seeds for the crucibles. Use AI Scan to find them.
  7. 7
    Interact with the terminal, then go up ramps opposite each crucible to find a power seed behind each door. Defeat Sentinels behind the doors.
  8. 8
    Use the Grappleshot to cross a chasm for one power seed, as its bridge will disappear when taken.
  9. 9
    Place all three power seeds in the crucibles.
  10. 10
    Interact with the terminal again to trigger a cutscene. Ascend the gravity lift to complete the quest and unlock the 'What Will It Take?' achievement.
Tips
  • Use Pulse Carbines for quick kills on most enemy types and Jackal shields by aiming for the head (4-6 hits for elites).
  • Prioritize killing Skimmers immediately upon appearance due to their aerial threat.
  • Pick up Ravagers or Sentinel Beams from Elite Brutes for effective combat against armored opponents.
  • Utilize blast coils in rooms by throwing them or shooting them when enemies are near.
  • Use the Grappleshot to close distance with an Energy Sword for quick melee kills.
  • Employ the Threat Sensor in each room to pinpoint enemy locations.
  • When fighting Hunters, use pillars and structures for cover, moving in and out of sight while shooting.
  • Refill ammunition from nearby ammo crates when using powerful weapons.
  • The Sentinel Beam is highly effective against Sentinels.
  • Use the Grappleshot to traverse chasms when necessary, particularly for acquiring power seeds.
