    Mission: Uprising

    I had a few issues with getting this to unlock when I ignored all the enemies at the beginning. It isn't necessary for most people to kill the first enemies, but in my case I had to.

    Go through the mission killing all the enemies along the way. Once you get inside the structure. Continue going through the mission for a little bit longer, and you'll come to another door. When you enter the door, there will be a ledge and a lower area below you with some plasma turrets and a few enemies. The cowardly grunt can be found under this ledge, but he will only speak once the enemies have been killed. After clearing the area, walk up to him to get the achievement.

    McPickleStealth and use the sword to kill the brutes before they run out the back door for reinforcements. Mop up the jackals with the sword. Got him to talk 3 times in a row with this method.

    UrchyBoldI just tried MaurickShepherd method and it worked. One thing to note though from the original guide is it won't work if one of the brutes from the room runs through the door for backup, so make sure you kill all the brutes quick.

    Cowardly Grunt - Halo 2
    The Cowardly Grunt can be found the level "Uprising" near the start of the level once you first enter the structure and make your way to the first spot that has you jump down into a lower platform filled with brutes, kill them to have the grunt talk. See video for better details.

    Uprising - Cowardly Grunt Egg: For this Easter Egg, you’ll want to head into the first building at the start of the level. Inside this building, just below the ledge in front of you is the cowardly Grunt. Make sure to avoid any huge explosions nearby (Scarab skull isn't recommended) and kill everything but this grunt. After killing all the brutes nearby, the lone surviving grunt will begin cowering and begging for mercy. Head over there and listen to his woeful tale for the achievement. Video below shows it in action.
