Every Halo Infinite Boss, Ranked By Difficulty

Halo Infinite is full of many strong characters within the Banished army that Master Chief must defeat in boss fights throughout the campaign. Each of the bosses plays a different role in the Banished army, from Spartan killers to purely high-ranking officials. Throughout the semi-open world campaign, Master Chief will face some of his greatest challenges yet as he stops the Banished and their leaders one by one.

[Warning: Major spoilers for Halo Infinite are below.]

None of the high valued targets in Halo Infinite, like the Myriad Hunters, are listed below. Additionally, although Halo Infinite really explores the full utility of boss fights throughout its campaign, boss fights aren’t a new feature to the Halo series. For example, in Halo 2 players had to defeat the Prophet of Regret, and in Halo 3 Master Chief had to defeat the Oracle. However, Halo Infinite does change how these boss fights take place, most notably by the health and shield bars that every one of them has.

Each of the boss fights below take place throughout the main missions of the Halo Infinite campaign. Additionally, every boss fight is ranked based on the Legendary difficulty of Halo Infinite, so many of these fights may seem easier than the order they appear in because of a different level of difficulty. For example, the Tremonius boss fight in Halo Infinite may seem like the easiest fight on lower difficulties, but it isn’t on the Legendary difficulty setting of Halo Infinite.

Every Halo Infinite Boss Ranked From Least To Most Difficult

The are nine boss fights total in Halo Infinite, beginning with Tremonius and ending with the Harbinger. Each of the boss fights requires Master Chief to utilize his surroundings, equipment, and whatever weapons are around in order to emerge victorious. By no means are any of these boss fights particularly easy, especially during a first playthrough of Halo Infinite. However, some bosses certainly prove to be more of a challenge than others. Additionally, Adjutant Resolution is a boss that is fought twice.

Jega ‘Rdomnai Is Halo Infinite’s Easiest Boss

The Jega ‘Rdomnai’s boss fight in Halo Infinite should have been one of the most challenging encounters throughout the campaign, and it is if players do not prepare for it. Jega uses two Energy Swords, completely disappears from the small room, and strikes swift and hard eliminating Master Chief with two back-to-back slashes. However, this fight allows players to prepare against Jega more than any other boss fight.

Before interacting with Echo 216’s hologram, players should scan the area for the Bullfrog Shotgun and grab it if they don’t have one already. Next, stack every fusion coil in the area just behind the hologram. Once the fight begins Jega will quickly approach Master Chief, at which point players can shoot the fusion coils to explode and finish Jega off with the Bullfrog. Even on Legendary difficulty, the Halo Infinite campaign allows players to easily move beyond this fight.

Ample Cover Makes Tremonius’ Fight In Halo Infinite Easy

Tremonius would be a difficult fight in Halo Infinite were it not for the ample cover that this part of the Foundation mission provides. With plenty of weapons in the area and places to grapple, players can easily avoid Tremonius’ shots and melee lunges. This fight prepares players to fight other Banished Brutes that have the same loadout in the campaign, without the shield bar. In fact, those fights tend to be more of a challenge when out in the open and Master Chief cannot be protected by an array of structures.

Halo Infinite’s Adjutant Resolution Doesn’t Pose A Challenge

In two missions of the Halo Infinite campaign, Adjutant Resolution will fight Master Chief in a mechanized Sentinel shell designed for this monitor. While this Halo Infinite boss fight against Adjutant Resolution should be a challenge, players just need to shoot the arms of the Sentinel core, attack Adjutant Resolution’s exposed core, and repeat. The second fight against Adjutant Resolution is slightly more difficult, but only because the monitor has one or two reinforcements at a time. Stick to cover and shoot and attack Adjutant Resolution at the right time.

Halo Infinite’s Difficult Boss Battles – Bassus

Bassus isn’t the first challenging fight of Halo Infinite, and he’s certainly not the last. With a Gravity Hammer in hand, Bassus will randomly jump across a room or down a hallway at Master Chief killing or nearly killing him every time. If players manage to get on a ledge, then Bassus will throw Plasma Grenades.

Unfortunately, Halo Infinite‘s boss fight against Bassus doesn’t allow players to prepare, and the weapon in the area aren’t strong enough to take him down quickly. However, once the fight begins players should head for the room immediately behind Master Chief with the two staircases. Keep moving in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction and Bassus will keep chasing Master Chief, and for whatever reason he is less likely to lunge at Chief making him easier to defeat. Setting this up is the trickiest part.

Tovarus And Hyperius’ Boss Fight Requires A Warthog

Tovarus and Hyperius are a tag team of Brutes that have explosive weapons and jetpacks, somewhat similar to Tremonius. However, the two Brutes work well together, making the Tovarus and Hyperius Halo Infinite boss fight Tovarus has the Scrap Cannon, which fires powerful explosive rounds making it difficult to get close to him or shoot him with a Warthog. Hyperius has a Ravager rifle, occasionally a UNSC Sniper Rifle, and a modified Brute Chopper. There are plenty of power weapons in the area that can assist this fight, as well as Marines and a couple of Warthogs.

This fight is easier once Hyperius is removed from the Brute Chopper, and it’s best to just drive it out of his range. Although Hyperius is without his land-based vehicle, he still remains the harder of the two bosses to take down. Grab a Halo Infinite Warthog, drive it up the hill on the left side facing the rear of Echo 216’s Pelican, and use the turret to shoot down on Tovarus. Once he’s defeated, Hyperius can be eliminated in a similar fashion to Tremonius by using lost of cover and popping quick shots.

Chak ‘Lok Is Halo Infinite’s Second Banished Boss

Chak ‘Lok is the second Banished boss that Master Chief squares off against, and he is an Elite interrogator holding Spartan Griffin captive. This boss fight is everything that long-time Halo fans have been waiting for, a high-ranking Elite who can turn invisible, uses a unique Energy Sword, and alternates between a melee and Pulse Carbine (the weapon that replaced the Plasma Rifle). Chak ‘Lok’s boss fight in Halo Infinite is one of the most challenging encounters because he rushes down Master Chief with his Energy Sword frequently.

Additionally, if Master Chief is too far away, Chak ‘Lok will use his Pulse Carbine for the ranged encounter. This fight constantly requires Master Chief to switch back and forth between Halo Infinite‘s Threat Sensor and Grappleshot. Players will also need to hit Chak ‘Lok with shock coils, and avoid his massive Energy Sword lunge attacks.

The Harbinger Is Halo Infinite’s Final Boss Battle

The Harbinger is the final enemy players face in Halo Infinite, and she is fought in three stages. Players need to defeat the Banished reinforcements, at which point The Weapon will make the Harbinger vulnerable to attack. What makes this fight so challenging is that many of the Banished reinforcements have power weapons or marksman rifles, and the Harbinger moves quicker each round. To complete the Harbinger boss fight in Halo Infinite, players will need to constantly seek cover, quickly take out reinforcements, and avoid the Harbinger’s attacks. Many of the Harbinger’s attacks are the equivalent of getting hit in the body with Shock Rifle rounds, and each round she begins to spawn more of them at a time as they seek out Master Chief. This fight can be overwhelming easily if players aren’t constantly mobile.

The Hardest Halo Infinite Boss – Escharum

Escharum is the leader of the Banished forces throughout most of Halo Infinite, and he is the most difficult boss to take down. Although there are multiple types of fusion coils in the area, Escharum’s walking path is unpredictable, resulting in many fusion coils going to waste at times. The boss fight against Escharum in Halo Infinite begins with him no more than 10 feet in front of Master Chief, requiring players to quickly get away from him.

There are multiple shield cells that have to be destroyed in order to be able to attack Escharum’s health, and once all of them are destroyed he drops his Scrap Cannon and chases down Master Chief with a Gravity Hammer. Escharum is constantly moving towards Master Chief, and the health bar seems to decrease in small increments only. To defeat Escharum, players need to be mobile, patient, and continuously put the Brute under pressure in Halo Infinite.
