Mythic Update 9/11/2010

You can now keep yourself up to date with the Mythic madness by following the Team Mythic Twitter page! Stay tuned for the latest Mythic updates :-)


The Halo 3 Mythic Update 4/8/2010

Reach is right around the corner, and you know what that means, the time for Mythic ODST is running short! With only a few months left until the release of the highly anticipated Halo: Reach, we're now kicking Mythic into high gear in oder to churn out the ODST walkthrough over the summer to give Halo fans everywhere a better chance at conquering one of the greatest games of all time on the hardest setting ever recognized by the community.

Stay tuned for more!

--------------------------------------------------------------

I'd also like to take the time to thank Bungie for the massive support they've shown towards our community, and a special thanks to both Tom and Urk who went out of their way to make it all possible. You guys rock :-)

Thank you, Louis (HBO Head Honcho), for not just hosting one, but rather two of my Mythic walkthroughs and making it easier for players around the globe to get a better grasp of the Mythic Challenge. Couldn't have done it without you!

And also a big thanks to AJ at Halocharts for implementing Mythic into his epic campaign challenges. Those shiney new Mythic medals are items that our conquerors wear with pride and still are a major incentive for those who are currently still getting their feet wet in the ocean of Mythic greatness before them.

You guys are ALL awesome :-)

Team Mythic (taken by Tyrant)

Take the "Mythic Challenge" Today!

What exactly is Mythic difficulty? Completing the campaign on Legendary, all 13 skulls activated, scoring enabled, and making it from start to finish on each individual mission without dying. This applies to both Solo Mythic and co-op (aka Multi-Mythic).

My Halo 3 Mythic Walkthrough is now available to view on HBO's website. This guide includes a text-based walkthrough of each segment of all nine missions and contains videos of all critcal areas. All nine videos will remain on my file share. A special thanks goes out to Louis Wu for not only hosting the walkthrough on his site, but also for all the hard work he has put into cleaning up my Mythic guide mess and turning it into something legable XD All nine missions are available on his site along with videos of all criticals areas and even a special "Tips" section to help get you started.

Coming Soon!

Mythic 2.0 is now on the horizon. New strategies are being implemented into most of the missions in order to provide you easier avenues of success on your Mythic quest. These "upgrades" are not meant to fully take the place of the original walkthrough, but rather enhance it. Each 2.0 Strategy Guide will contain step by step instructions on the altered strategies, and a full file share video will be included as well. Look for the "2.0 Guide" link below each each mission to simplify your experience! :-)

And now I give you...

The Quest for Mythic Group.

The above group was recently created for all Mythic completers as well as people who are in the proccess of performing their own quest. You MUST have at least one Mythic level under your belt and in your fileshare to be considered for membership. This provides an easier way of keeping track of stats. Read the rules BEFORE posting!



The Quest for *Multi-Mythic Difficulty*

Taking it up a notch, watch as Team Mythic Alpha fights for first place titles in the Multi-Mythic Marathon (Coop + Legendary + all skulls + scoring + zero deaths/saves).



FAQ

Q. What is Mythic??
A. Solo Legendary All Skulls On with zero deaths and zero saves. Each mission must be run from start to finish without dying, saving, or quitting.

Q. What is the difference between Mythic Difficulty and SLASO?
A. Not much. However SLASO simply defines the game as being played solo legendary all skulls on. Mythic, however, states that there must be zero deaths and zero saves per mission, thereby making Mythic a far greater and more specific challenge. The same rules apply to co-op in the sense that no player may die in order to successfully complete the mission on Co-op Mythic.

Q. Is there any special ending for beating the game on Mythic?
A. No. It's the same as the Legendary ending. I imagine the people who would've been able to witness a Mythic ending would have been too few for such an effort. Bungie knew this.

Q. Do you get any new armor or reward for beating it on Mythic?
A. No. You do not unlock anything simply for beating the game on Mythic. That is unless you have yet to beat the game just on Legendary in which you would obtain the normal achievements associated with it.

Q. Do I have to have the silver skulls on for it to count as Mythic?
A. Yes. All skulls means ALL skulls.

Q. Can I have a friend help me complete the game on Mythic?
A. Well then it wouldn't be solo Mythic now would it?

Q. Do you have to turn on campaign scoring?
A. I've decided to update this to cause less confusion. In a word... yes. While it doesn't effect game-play directly, it's the simplest way to prove your success to the rest of the world and is a requirement to become a member of the Quest for Mythic group.

Q. What are the "Kamikaze" videos?
A. A separate, speedier, and more skillful avenue for certain areas of the game. Just like the "Slow & Steady" methods, they have been tested multiple times and are proven to work. However they do require excellent reaction time, a vast knowledge of the road ahead, and a fair bit of experience with Mythic.

Q. Why was I rejected from your group?
A. Simply put, read the rules. 99.9% of the time, it's because you haven't completed a Mythic level with scoring on and uploaded it to your file share. This must be done in order to gain acceptence into the Mythic group.

Hello, Community!

Hopefully if you're reading this, it's because you're interesting in kicking your campaign experience up a notch by cranking up the Legendary with all skulls activated :-) Need advice? A guide? Maybe even a friendly community to cheer you on and help guide you through the process? Then give our Mythic thread a read, and Godspeed on your Mythic journey!

lol. doesn't seem like there are that many people out there who've done it. So I'd like to give it a try.

  • 05.21.2008 7:13 PM PDT

Last time they said the stat, only two people have officially done it while online.

Seriously? Only two? Then I'm 1/4 of the way there :-D

  • 05.21.2008 7:15 PM PDT

We just need to instigate more elitism and Mythic shenanigans.

I think only two people have done it, (I wonder if they got recon for it, that would be a reward they are more than worthy of), but It must be absurdly difficult. I could not do it on easy with all the skulls on, because I did not have the patience to redo the entire level every time I died.

haha, good luck dude.

i have never tried cortana slaso, but when i played legendary on so-op with some friends i just ran all the way through the level, didnt kill a single flood, but since friends aren't distracting them for you, you might want to try and throw some grenades or something

QFT!

On Floodgate, I reached the downed Covenant ship and was about to jump inside, when I was suddenly pegged by ranged Flood. Had to start from the beginning...

Darn that Blind Skull...

Actually, that was the one I originially started. After having to repeat the first skirmish 30 times, I decided it was time to start with a different level XD

I did two levels CLASO with a friend, but just got this live account and need to beat campaign, get the skulls, and then I'll do SLASO. I need to do campaign anyway though because I need to get other armors on other profiles to do a machinima. Good luck with SLASO!

Imagination is the one weapon in the war against reality.

I cant imagine doing Cortona with all of the skulls. I had a hard enough time running through it on legendary with none of the skulls on :l. Good luck to ya, and good luck on the last level!

u realize your one of like 30 people to actually manage a level SLASO? u shud be proud

i tried sierra 117 SLASO as a test and nearly cried


The count is really that low? Wow.

And you're right. Sierra 117 is a pain. I won't be doing them in order. I want to do the easy ones first to build up a feel for it. As far as I know and understand, that still counts.

1.Arkham Asylum, 2.Mass Effect, 3.Halo CE, 4.Mass Effect 2, 5.Halo 2, 6.Splinter Cell Double Agent, 7.Gears of War 2, 8.Medievil, 9.Oblivion, 10.Crash Team Racing

When I try it I will play all the levels in order.
I have done it without Iron on Legendary, and I have done it with all skulls on Easy, Normal and Heroic.

I should just grab the controller, haven't touched it in days. Maybe in summer.



Also I think there's more than 2 who have done it. Just played offline. I have done 95% of my campaigns without Live connection, also often I get disconnected and only some stats appear, you can see it seems thatI haven't done anything on most games visible in Service Record. Some people don't have Live at all.
