Warning: Full spoilers for the mission below.
The first piece of intel is directly to the left of where you spawn. It’s on top of a pillar. To grab it run toward the first turret and then run along the ridge and jump over to this piece of intel.
Each turret is most easily disabled by destroying its generator, which can be located by following the paired power couplings leading from the turret bubbles. Generators can be destroyed by small arms fire.
The next piece is located from the second turret in the building on your left. It’ll be in a small room downstairs.
The first four generators are easily disabled, but the two set on high ground side by side are a greater challenge. The leftside turret can be destroyed by breaking the nearby forcefield into the building with the singing grunts (aided by a nearby Plasma Cannon) and ascending to the second floor, then destroying the generator there. Be careful...a cloaked elite hides on this floor.
Once you’ve taken out this generator, grab the nearby Beam Rifle, leap from the window toward the other turret, and circle around back to take out its generator.
After you take out the turrets you’ll come to a multi-platform area where large purple saucers are in the air and you need to fight some elite, grunts, and jackyls. If you head to the left and break through the doorway there and head through the room you’ll find a data pad on the other side. It’s on top of the building.
Moving forward on the saucers you’ll find another data pad on the right hand side in a saucer out by itself.
After clearing all turrets proceed to the elevator control. The elevator will carry you downward to the next section of the stage,
As you make your way through the lower city, watch out for contingents of suicide Grunts who rush from above, Try to stay on the rooftops using the saucers to climb and fore down on enemies.
To the right of where you encounter the hunters inside of a small purple structure you’ll find the next data pad.
As soon as you come out of the elevator go to the right hand side of where all the action took place. You’ll find a dead Covenant and a sword. That’s your next piece of intel.
Once the crumbling begins, break right and keep jumping to stay above the collapsing walkways. When you reach the end of the platforms, leap for the doorway in the courtyard below your position and make your way inside.
After the Guardian causes the walkway to crumble you’ll find yourself in a covenant building. The next data pad is on the top floor to the left.
Just a little bit forward from this location you’ll almost be at the Arbiter. Before you go there climb up and to the left where you’ll find a blade and the final piece of intel.
You'll enter a large area with a Guardian at the very back in plain sight. Stay on ground level and go as close to the guardian as the map will allow you to, from the edge of this area, look down to spot a metal beam and concrete platform. Slowly jump down 1 level landing safely on the beam, and then turn around to spot the skull.
