-
The 7 Terminals: The Ark: tip 3
In the third building after defeating the scarab, kill the group of sleeping covenant, then follow the corridor downwards.

-
Smarter respawning:
When playing in Co-op under the Legendary difficulty setting, it is best to have one player keep their distance from the enemy at all times. By doing this, if the rest of the players die they will respawn around the player that is farther back, rather than having to restart the checkpoint.
