    Halo Infinite’s campaign is a marvelous addition to the series with a stunning open world, an improvement to Halo 5’s story, and memorable boss fights. The final boss of Halo Infinite’s base campaign is the Harbinger, who can be difficult for many reasons. We will give you a quick rundown of the boss and tips on how to beat the Harbinger in Halo Infinite.

    Harbinger Boss Fight Break Down

    Unlike most bosses in Halo Infinite, where there is a great deal of learning how the boss works or mechanics you must adapt to, the Harbinger is more straightforward. This is in contrast to learning how to beat Bassus in Halo Infinite where the key is taking advantage of his lack of jumping ability. The entire Harbinger fight has three phases, where waves of enemies flood the room while the Harbinger is invulnerable in the center of the room.

    Each wave of enemies gets progressively more challenging, but there are several weapon racks scattered across the boss arena to use. Some more essential weapons to note are the Stalker Rifle, Rocket Launcher, Energy Sword, and Cindershot are all in the arena.

    The first wave has a roster of Jackals, Skirmishers, Shotgun Brutes, and Grunts. The second wave adds Elites and Skimmers, but the third wave adds Ultra Elites and a Brute Chieftain. Thankfully, after each wave, the game quick saves, so you don’t have to fight through all sets of enemies repeatedly.

    After each wave, the Harbinger boss will enter the fray to come to fight you. She will rapidly teleport around the arena at a quick enough pace that it’s tough to track her. Every increasing phase of the fight, her teleports will become more rapid up until the third phase, where she rarely stops blinking around the arena. It’s crucial to know that she pauses between teleports whenever she spawns a small electric orb that hunts you down.

    How to Deal with Each Wave

    The boss arena has two floors, but we highly recommend staying on the lower floor for most of the fight if you want to know how to beat the Harbinger in Halo Infinite, easier. This is because there is more cover on the lower floor to hide behind. Moreover, you can traverse around the ring with the Grapple Hook more easily.

    Make use of the power weapons that are scattered around the ring. The Cindershot is one of the more valuable weapons you can grab or the Stalker Rifle if you want to save ammo for the future.

    All the enemies won’t spawn at once, and hordes will often spawn both in front and behind you from whatever door you are close to. Since enemies always spawn from the doors, the Cindershot makes quick work of them before they have a chance to spread out.

    We highly recommend having the Grapple Shot fully upgraded by the time you enter this fight. You will need to constantly keep your distance and reposition during the waves of continuous enemies. You will need the Grapple Shot on the third wave once the Brute Chieftain spawns. The cooldown reduction and the ability to stun grappled enemies makes this fight significantly more manageable.

    How to Fight and Beat the Harbinger Herself

    The Harbinger fights you one-on-one between the various waves of enemies. As we mentioned, she teleports around the ring and only stops to charge projectiles for a moment. Lunging with the Energy Sword is central to how to beat the Harbinger in Halo Infinite. It allows us to keep putting a lot of pressure on her.

    The Energy Sword tears through her shields and has a chance of knocking her back, interrupting her teleports or other casts. Additionally, the Grapple Shot’s electric upgrade stuns her in place if you directly grapple her. If you have the Grapple Shot fully upgraded and the Energy Sword, you can stun-lock her into the next phase with little issue.

    The tactic, as mentioned earlier, works in all stages of her fight but gets progressively harder to execute due to her teleports speeding up. The Cindershot can also be an effective weapon that you can use to beat the Harbinger in Halo Infinite. This is especially true when she drops the barrier at the start of her phase. This will allow you to get a few free hits in. However, if you are low on Cindershot ammo, we recommend purely using the Energy Sword instead.

    Wrapping Up Our Guide on How to Beat the Harbinger in Halo Infinite

    Remember to keep your distance when fighting the hordes of Banished and stay up close once you fight the Harbinger alone. Hopefully, following this process will allow you to overcome the final fight in Halo Infinite’s campaign. If you struggle to figure out what Spartan Core upgrades will best aid you in this fight or for a future playthrough, you can check out our guide here. As always, Good Hunting, Spartans!
