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!

The first half of the level can be a bit over whelming since you are rather illequipt. Sniper rounds have barely any effect on a fully shielded Brute (I save them for getting the gunner from the Wraiths), and you're low on useful ammo. The Hunters on SLASO are also a force to be wreckoned with. It took me a few tries to figure that out. Once you get to the part where the Dawn deploys tanks, it gets much easier. But that first half took me forever to figure out a decent strategy.

And nice job with Floodgate!


I always figured that I would just assassinate the sleeping grunts and immediately switch the sniper for dual PP (dual for ammo), then retreat and let the brutes come to me. I guess I've never really tried fighting a hunter with the tilt skull on (I know they take 5 or 6 sticks with only mythic). When I play the level ordinarily, I snap off the three plasma turrets and take them to the part with the first hunters. Do they even do anything LASO?

Also, any tips for The Storm? There's two parts (first two tanks, scarab) that are pretty tough without any skulls.


The first scarab encounter is fairly simply. Your Marines will dispatch the AA wraiths without your help. When the scarab arrives, wait for your Marines to eliminate most of the opposition onboard, then take the elevator to the top and jump down when its close enough.

98% of the people who play this game are garbage. If you're one of the 2% who isn't, copy & paste this into your signature.

Congrats on finally completing it!!

It was a pain, but Pahis can do it even faster without having to repeat the level at all.

Thanks for the tips Pahis!

Yes, but in The Covenant you start out with a Spartan Laser, a warthog, and a group of Marines. Plus Arbiter is there to assist you with the second tower.

You didn't happen to write up a guide for this or anything like that, did you? Because when I finally get around to trying this, I'm gonna need one before I trade my 360 for a Sega Dreamcast.

I sure did :-)

Tsavo Highway is a few pages back. That will more than likely be the first or one of the first I transfer to video.

You should get Recon for this...seriously. It's the hardest thing to do, and only a real Halo fan would go through this much trouble. I'm gonna try this myself sometime, at least to get half the campaign.

You definitely should. It poses an interesting challenge even though you'll probably find your self screaming all sorts of slurs at your TV XD

For the scarab battle on the storm, I've found with a bit of luck i can take it out entirely with a missile turret. Just hope it presents its back to you for a while.

Heh, I do that already. :D

Hey, would you be cool enough to send me a message when you get the films up of your SLASO playthrough? I might scream at my TV a little less then... :)

Mate just read you finished SLASO. You are my new personal hero. Don't know how you had the patience. Congratulations.

I would like to be a Mythic Member, or a mod.

REALLY BAD. I believe I deserve it, I am very loyal to the dear Bungie forums and want to keep everything in tip-top shape. Its always a real pleasure to be on the forums and I want to be recognized here.
