Once you reach Tartarus (the boss), Throw a "sticky" (plasma grenade) and stick it to one of his minions so that they all die. It is recommended that you grab the shotgun. The sword is also effective so switch for one from your elite allies.
Johnson will continually snipe him with a beam rifle.
This is the time to fire at him. Use whatever weapon you will, its risky to get close but the sword can take him down easier.
Then jump down and get up close, always go for head shots.

You COULD be able to fit the Banshee and the Ghost and use it in this fight, but only if damaged enough.

Your allies are not cannon fodder for this fight. They can help you, let them take some damage and deal some of their own then go in for a kill.

Receiving three hits is enough to get killed, or one on legendary difficulty.

He is invincible to any attack with his shield up but if he is chasing you try to get to a ledge and jump away to a safe spot, he may fall down.
