The Arbiter (Halo Wars) has an energy sword and 2 plasma rifles. Also he gets active camo that lasts for about 5 minutes. The camo will recharge in 3 minutes before he can use it again.
Will he complete the gauntlet? (Or...will he get past Bongo Bongo?)

If you seen Halo Legends, this arbiter is a lot better than he gets credit for and would have killed the master chief if it wasn't for an elite commander extracting him during the fight and actually is capable of taking down the covenant army alone.
Well Vovalgia is fought in the middle of the Fire Temple in a room surrounded by magma that occasionally shoots out of the ground. Simply standing there tend to set things on fire.
And the arbiter occasionally takes hits from plasma and wields two plasma swords (even though he only has one in this match) and of course his shield is in effect as well I'm guessing.
So I'm sure he can stand the magma longer than you would think if he was hit by it considering the convenant shield tech is built stronger and able to last longer under plasma weaponry.
Let me say this another way. You are inside a volcano. The air is roughly the same temperature as the magma. When you breathe, superheated air steams your insides. And plasma only lasts a few seconds. The Fire Temple is this hot at all times. It's like the difference between getting hit with a tank shell vs. getting hit with thousands upon thousands of bullets every second.

Arbiter's armor is similar to the goron tunic since it is able to take loads of plasma shots and sentinel beams, which fire temperatures at multiples of the sun's temperature. IMO, he gets past Volvagia pretty easily.

Where's it say plasma shots are at multiples of the sun's temperature? Also, it's worth noted that the bolts dissipate on contact and do not last long enough to conduct much heat. Compare this to constant exposure to the fire temple, and over time the fire temple is far more hazardous.

I said sentinel beams fire at multiples. Sentinels can fire beams as high as 15,000 K (Halo: Ghosts of Onyx). Arbiter's suit may not last as long as the Goron tunic, which lasts virtually forever, but still, it's going to take a VERY long time until he dies to the Fire Temple's air.
Well considering that the shots were actually capable of melting through MJOLNIR IV armor which was still virtually bullet proof and that one shot also blackened out that spartan's skin and cracked it. Apparently that heat lasts long enough to melt through that much alloy and get the spartan's skin all in one hit.
Sentinel Beams win.... flawless victory. Besides you have no idea what type of heat the Elites homeworld may contain, they could be way more adept to the heat than other species.
