Warning: Full spoilers for the mission below.
Turn around and you’ll find it on the left side of the doorway you enter from to find an intel.
The other intel is on the other side of the door behind where you initially spawn.
This stage is largely a series of linear passages and a gradual ascent through staged fights against increasingly-powerful crowds of enemies. There are ample replacement weapons scattered about. In each encounter, it is advisable to proceed with caution and keep to cover, not allowing enemy forces to surround you. Eliminate foes as they advance, and clear out airborne and entrenched foes as opportunity allows. Keep your distance from the Knights, making them come to you.
As you work your way through the first encounter with the Forerunners you’ll go under a bridge if you stick to the middle of the map. On the right hand side under this far bridge you’ll find your next piece of intel.
As you advance higher into the stage the ferocity of the encounters increases. Enemies armed with sniping and explosive weapons will inhabit the upper decks above the arenas. You’ll do well to clear the ground level close enough to take cover, then begin systematically thinning the upper areas, and finally clearing the rear parts of lower areas.

The other intel is on the other side of the door behind where you initially spawn.
After going to the top of the platform and seeing the Warden spawn walk straight forward. You’ll find a terminal on the bottom platform in the middle of the map.
The final piece of intel is at the top platform.
Once you have reached the final platform where you face the three Wardens, be absolutely sure to clear the turrets at the back of the stage before getting drawn into combat in that direction. They’ll shred you if you approach them and can fire effectively at most locations in the boss arena.
Three Wardens Boss Fight
Solo Legendary Playthrough:
Before entering the Warden's room, pick up the Incineration Cannon that's behind a pillar just before the door. Don't use it in this room; save it for the Warden fight. Stock up on grenades if you haven't already.?
When taking on the Wardens, focus on one at a time by running immediately to the main platform on the right or left of the area. Direct your squad to do the same. Then, tell your squad to attack the Warden and use the Incineration Cannon to do a ton of damage. Charging up the gun will give a higher damage output, so do that when possible. Try to stay around the platform you start on to prevent other Wardens from engaging in your fight (the Wardens mostly stay in their third of the area, though the one in the middle will join the fight if you get too close to him.)?
When your Incineration Cannon is out of charge, pick up another on the platform - it's on the center weapon rack on the platform. Use grenades as needed. You should be able to kill the first Warden with the second Incineration Cannon. Checkpoint!?
Grab another Incineration Cannon if yours is out (there are two at the north end of the area below the platform where the Wardens spawned and another on the opposite platform from where you killed your first Warden.) Try and repeat the same pattern of targeting one Warden (the guy in the middle will probably come to you) and throw grenades and use the Incineration Cannon. After you defeat the second Warden, Turrets appear. Stick to the back of the room and focus on the final Warden.
