I feel like a lazy procrastinator. Haven't even turned on my Xbox today, kept telling myself I would, and wanting to, but haven't gotten to it yet xD

My friends and I spent an entire day trying "Mythic difficulty" on Legendary and concluded that it is not possible due to the 'melee to gain shields' on the flood levels, they do not mix and provide a long road ahead for all who attempt it.

If anybody, completes the campaign on "Mythic" and Legendary let me know and i will gladly reward you.

Blackeye making it impossible on Flood levels? It's the opposite, actually. It makes it easier. Melee fights are easy to win against Combat forms, even when it's two on one against shielded Combat forms. It takes roughly four or five melees to kill a shielded Combat form and at most two against other Combat forms. Unless we're talking about with the Sword. A shielded Combat form can only take three hits from the sword.

So. What do Pahat, Tyrant, Starocean, Jew man/Dark Dev, xPox, ODST Panda, and myself get?

besides respect from some people, do you get anything for completing campaign on "mythic"?

and

is mythic even real, or is it just a made up difficulty?

Just the satisfaction of beating the game with the most difficult settings. There are plenty of legit 50s, but only 7 people have completed Mythic to date.

Mythic is, more or less, a made-up difficulty.

Jeesh, society today is stingy. Ever heard of a 'sense of accomplishment?' That's all you get, kid.

EDIT: yeah that sounded a bit more harsh than I intended it.

So, I decided to ask a question in the "Weekly What's Update" thread lukems posted asking if any Bungie employees have tried to complete the Campaign with all 13 skulls on. I probably won't get an answer, but I was kind of curious.

  • 10.16.2008 5:47 PM PDT

Finally got Floodgate!!! I know it is the easiest level, but it took me SO many tries. I have completed ONE level on MYTHIC!

Congrats! Now do Halo, it's supposed to be the second easiest.

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!

Best Regards,
The Tyrant

I'm telling you it's a conspiracy! lol.

EDIT: But maybe having Bungie not post in here is a blessing in discuise. Think about it. If they truly don't care or find this to be a waste, then a post by one of them expressing those feelings would be disasterous to our thread. You know as well as I do that the second that gold symbol appears by our thread, everyone will be rushing to see who posted and what their remark was. The next 50 or so posts will be little kids saying something along the lines of "lolololol. u so funny! mythic got pwned!" That's not the kind of attention we need, as I'd like to keep this thread a friendly one. That way the people who have accepted the challenge can continue to take advantage of it.

And on a separate, lighter note, congrats to the man who completed Floodgate! Feel's good doesn't it ;-)

Hey, I have something I thing should be added to the guide. When fighting Brute Chieftains I find the best way to kill them is to melee- walk up close to one(about a sword lunge away) and most of the time they will do the slow lunging attack with their hammer. When they do this sidestep them and run behind and assassinate them. If you hav'nt shot them then you will get their invincibility as well. If they jump through the air and raise the hammer above their head quickly run back from them.

Also, another thing to add, flood pure form are incredibly sensitive to fire, so the flamethrower gains a good use here. Just a half second burst will kill any of their forms.

  • 10.17.2008 4:46 AM PDT

then whats the hardest mythic level?

Yes they will. In fact, the only two known ways to kill a Tank Flood are either with the Sword or a flame-based weapon. It's ashame there aren't more of them in the game. Flame weapons are an absolute blast.

I would, however, avoid trying to melee a Hammer Chieftain. A War Chieftain sure, as long as you can safely close the gap. But on Mythic, Hammer Chieftains arte far to prone to using their hammers to land that instant kill.

It's pretty easy to kill Chieftains like that once you know what your doing. Try it on Normal difficulty. It's now my fave method. And I found it can be done on Hunters too though at greater risk.(Not assassination but landing a melee. Just dodge and aim your melee high on the brown spot) It does quite a lot of damage.

Guess who just got his warthog well and truly stuck at a 90 degree angle

Me!

Well, it's certainly worth testing. Vince, would you care to do the honors? I won't be able to upload any videos until my cable is fixed...

Lmao. I don't think the warthog likes me today. It's gotten stuck, run me over and got blown off the map leaving me stranded xD

That's a very old tactic that I've been using since Halo:CE. I would recommend it if the Chieftain is the only Brute left and if you're not easily fooled, sometimes the Chieftain may fake his lounge and will just do a slam to the ground, killing you.
