The Mythic Threads (Halo 3) (ODST) (Reach)

Alright guys. I'm at the river. I've taken out one of the Jackal snipers. I was trying to see the other Jackal so I went a bit further and I didn't see it, I got scared and just ran back. Arbiter took out a brute shot Brute so that's a bit relieving. I've 'Ranged-shot' a Brute so he has no shiels now. I'm on the ledge right where you see the river......I just need to find the Jackal...

I can't believe I've made it this far.

EDIT: The second Jackal is out ;)

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!

By your terminolgy it sounds like you're using the walkthrough. Nice! I hope you're finding it helpful :-)

The other Jackal Sniper will be roughly in the same location. They both hide on the ledge across the river. Keep an eye out for the blue light.

EDIT: Use that first tree for cover and peek out until you spot him. He has a relatively short attention span. Also, see if he starts shooting the Arbiter.

I took it out. So scary man, haha.


Yeah, your walkthrough is helping me out a lot. Since it's not cheating, I'm using it.

Yes they can certainly be scary at first. Fortunately you will never find snipers in this great a number again after this level. And with a little practice, they become almost laughable. They're nothing like the magical sharpshooters that were in Halo 2 8-O

Nope, not cheating. It's just following a little friendly advice. Glad it's working for you :-)

Yeah. Well, I died =) Hehe, I didn't realize that my shields were down so when I shot a charged plasma bolt at a brute, he dodged it while he shot at me so I died from a brute shot. So close man.

So my first run on Sierra 117. I died by the last Brute before the Sniper forest. How is that for a first run? =)

Makes me feel like the walkthrough is helping people :-)

Most of us probably died far before then our first times through Sierra 117. You did well. I'm eager to see how fast you beat the mission.

Well the film of this run is 46:14 witch means that it took me that long to make it to the Sniper forest. On my second run, it might be faster, or slower. The rest is up to the maths =)

Alright, a drink, then I'll get back to the level.

Your walkthrough is in fact helping me out a lot. The guy who came up with the "Range-shooting" with the plasma pistol is a genius.

That would be our very own Vince. We witnessed it first-hand on your first Quad-Mythic run. The first time I saw it, I knew it would be an essential to the walkthrough.

I'll leave it up to you guys. Personally, I can't see how this was faked. It's easier for me to believe in a flawed stats upload then hacking the stats upload. I personally think he's legit. What do the rest of you think?


After carefully reviewing of the information given by xPox's profile page, including his H3/H2 stats, campaign/matchmaking game history, file share, his membership since 2006 and his posting in the forums all that time, I would highly doubt that he is a cheater as he seems to be an outstanding and respectable member of the halo community. However, until I personally see his run of at least The Ark (which he claims to have the video to so it should'nt be a problem) I will have my doubts.

Why The Ark? Not simpally because it is the longest and most difficult mission in the game, but because it uses a vast majority of the strategies and tactics any Mythic Quest Completer whould have used. Put quite simpally... I think if you can complete The Ark on Mythic, you can complete any mission on Mythic.

XPox, supply us with the film, like you have said you could and like Tyrant and I have asked and I am sure all validity issues with your Mythic Quest will be resolved.

I fully agree. It's not that cheating is impossible, but he would have had to go great lengths to not only pull it off, but to make it look authentic. Realistically, I can't picture too many people bending over backwards to do something of this magnitude for absolutely no tangible reward in return.

In short, as I said earlier, I believe his run was authentic, and once he posts the videos, there will be no doubt at all.

So do you guys actually download and watch the Mythic runs when people post them up? I think it's great.

I'd prefer to work on some Quad Mythic. Crow's Nest needs to be conquered.

I haven't watched all runs performed by all people, but I've seen many of them. It's interesting to view each player's unique style. Vince is the most cautios while Starocean makes a mad rush through everything. It's fun to see how different people cope with the varies difficult situations.

And to Vince: I'm up for it as long as we can get Jewman and Starocean online.

The odd thing is that in the beginning of the Storm I'm not holding back as much now. It's funny as hell to keep all the Marines alive through the first room, get rid of the Grunts in the tunnel area and then open the door. Five Marines throwing grenades at the same enemy is priceless.

Nonetheless, when it comes to caution in Mythic, for me, I carried over the amount of caution I used in Halo 2 Legendary.

Just a given title. Since Mythic seems to be the highest level of achievement in Bungie terms, and playing the game this way is the hardest you can make it in terms of statistics, naming it Mythic Difficulty makes the most sense.

I'll be on in roughly an hour and a half from now (5pm EST). Since I haven't heard from our other two Mythic guys yet, we'll probably be doing matchmaking, and you are more than welcome to join in.
