How?!?

This is seemingly impossible.

Even legendary on "Cortana" with 3 people was hard.. but wow dude.

The last level is one of the best ones to start with. The AI can do most of the fighting while you hammer jump to the top of the tower XD

Thanks! Trust me, as much as I was yelling at the screen I would hardly call it patience. More like ignorance ;-)

That's amazing, I tried Floodgate and couldn't get past the very last part.

You should make videos of the levels to show how you did it, or post walkthroughs.

Actually, that's exactly what I want to do. It's time to get everyone in the community on the SLASO track :-)

wow, thats awesome. did you spend a lot of time gunning, or was there a lot of running 'hell for leather' to the next checkpoint?


Different levels called for different tactics. Floodgate, Halo, and Cortana was stricting running, hiding, equipment deployment, and Arbiter.

Other levels, such as Sierra 117, Crow's Nest, The Storm, and The Ark required me to take my time, collect the proper weapons, and use them sparingly.

And still other levels like Tsavo Highway and The Covenant required planning ahead. Those two weren't overly difficult if you were properly prepared for the right battles. But if you weren't...

For example, you could simply drive through most of Tsavo Highway and be fine up until the last battle. If you weren't properly prepared for Wraith jacking, then you were royally screwed.


good work, did you draw the reticle on screen in the end, helps with blind?

"Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds."

Oh sweet, I'd really like to do it. But I don't know if I have the patience.

I played Floodgate SLASO about five times but I would either die some stupid way, run out of ammo, or the flood that can shoot would kill me because there are so many at the end.

Any tips on an easy kill on those types of flood? Even on Legendary most of the flood fall with one headshot but you can unload a whole wasteful clip of BR into those forms without them dying...

Or should I just simply attempt to run by them?

some day.....

tyrant, you are a golden god! haha i was proud of beating cortana on legendary.
pretty much everything's been said, but make sure you post links to the vids to make sure people can follow (i emphasize follow) in your footsteps.

i dont know if you have all social/ranked achievements listed on your service record, but that would be a slightly less demanding goal, but would obviously sum up the whole domination of the game. that and a general status.

while bungie recognises the dedication of some gamers, i think SLASO was for them the last bastion of "haha look at them squirm", kind of an impossible feat, so once again, like many before and many after, i congratulate you.

If you always hug the right wall in the outdoor areas, you will really only jhave to deal with one which comes at the near end. He's low on the wall so jump up and melee. This will not only recharge your shields but usually force it to mutate back into a stalker. Once you get to the ship, drop a bubble shield (which can be found in the first outdoor area) once you are on the ramp because that's where the ranged Flood will start pegging you from behind. This is the easiest way. Remember, don't stop to fight. Just run like a mo-fo! :-)

Also, target the Brute Flood and Stalker Flood to melee and regain your shields. They are the most suseptiple to melee attacks. The Elite forms have shields and the tank forms... just no. lol.

did you get an additional custscene for completing it?,,
I've always wanted to know.

and I almost completed Halo a few times, though I findthat *fighting* your way up is suicide, good idea on using grav hammer jumps, hadn't thought of that.

"Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds."

Thanks! The tank forms are insane... I eventually wisened up and just ran by them but I originally tried to fight them. Man was that a mistake, I think I recall about four Gravity Hammers to his face before he just swung and beat me down.

Also, what would an ideal weapon combination be for this level?

And will a regenerator regenerate your health or is it strickly beatdowns?

I'm surprised a bungie employee hasn't replied to this topic yet, they should congratulate you, I'm pretty sure you're the third ever.

some day.....

sorry 2nd reply, just wanted to clarify me earlier post and ask something new:
firstly, what i meant was it would be awesome to complete the ranked and social medal chests respectively. i see you are already a general, and if RBTB stays and the occaisional infection hopper goes ranked i can see someone doing it.

secondly, how did you go about killing the brute chieftans? i've heard tips about using plasma grenades on their gravity hammers to stick them, but the plasma-cannon wielding cheiftans present another problem.

would be glad to know your response to both these points!

and i agree with deacon blues, a bungie recognition of some sorts should be in order

Gratz muchly. I might do this one day, i should do it on legendary first though... any secret unlockables =0?

There are a couple of ways to kill the Chieftians. Obviously a tank is the preferred method :-P But if you don't have one hand, hit him with an overcharged plasma pistol shot and BR the heck out of his head. He won't go down in one shot like the rest, but keep at it until he does. It only takes a few. I used this method against the hammer Chieftian on the Covenant. I saved my Spartan Laser for the second ;-)

And I would love to fill up my medal chests. I've got a pretty rockin' team so with them on my side, I'm sure it will be possible. Thanks Shrine! :-)

For a combo I would stick with BR/Gravity Hammer. And conserve that GH energy! Melees with the Hammer will also bring your shields back up in regards to the Black Eye skull, not to mention knock back any strong Flood (such as Tank Forms and Elites) while decimating the weaker ones (i.e. Brutes and Humans).

And yes regens will regenerate your shield. At least i can hear it recharge, but they are extremely rare in campaign. Generally, even if you come across a Brute that has one, they'll use it before you can kill them. I've found Bubble Shields and Active Camo to be the most valuable... and the rare, but occasional invincibility ;-)

And keep away from the power drains! XD
