Then why not try the slow and steady route? No one is judging you hear in terms of how fast you can complete a Mythic run. Keep in mind that with less than 10 people on record out there who've actually done it, the act of actually acomplishing it in and of itself is an accomplishment all on its own.

Do what's easier. Not just what's quicker.


Tyrant is, for the most part, speaking the truth.

As he said, you're not being judged on the number of kills or how quickly you do it. I have horrible times on pretty much every level because I go by my own specific ideal: No matter what I want to do in a level, my actions are always well thought out.

While it's been said in the past that I'm the most cautious, it would probably be more accurate to say I think over the situation and plan the most.

I also find rather than going about and copying the actions of others to the letter, that you should always feel free to try your own thing.

So, rather than doing what's easier/harder/quicker/slower...do it in the way that works for you. Make it your own!

I made sure to go out of my way to do weird, yet still well thought out, things on Mythic. It's why I was using the long-range Plasma Pistol shots; why I killed the Scarab on the Storm with the Sniper Rifle; why I drove a Transport Hog during Tsavo Highway; and most notably, how I ended up performing my Ark trick.

Maybe you can find something an interesting and useful trick, too!

Achronos: And what's this about a "design team" I've been hearing? Apparently stosh is so awesome he's now considered a "team".

yes I agree when I did floodgate I did some bits in my own way as the guide by tyrant can't cover every bit of change that might happen so don't be afraid the game does change so you have to change too.

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,

It sounds like you're looking at this the wrong way. The walkthrough doesn't beat the game for you, it merely offers guidance and offers players avenues they may not have otherwise considered. I view the walkthrough as more of a more organized and visual version of this help thread.

  • 11.24.2008 5:07 AM PDT

Indeed. Tyrant, you may want to check the threads in the group...

Thanks Vince! Will do :-)

EDIT: That picture is remarkable. Some of your finest work yet :-)

I sent you a PM.

It's in Tyrant's walkthrough for the final battle on the Ark because he found it to be a successful method. Originally, I used the trick during my Mythic run of the Ark.

Afterward, I went public with the trick, showed it to the rest of the original Team Mythic, and made a video showing how it works. Later I made a remastered version to clarify what exactly must be done to make it work, after I looked in to the matter further because Jew man kept dying while using it.

You can check Tyrant's walkthrough for a video dealing with it or you can go look in my gamevee stuff.

There are 10 things I know about you. 1)You are reading my sig. 2)You are thinking that's a stupid fact. 4)You didn't notice I skipped 3. 5)You are checking it now. 6)You're smiling 7)You are still reading my sig. 8)You know all these things are true. 10)You didn't notice I skipped 9.

If I look retarded, It's because I make myself look retarded.

Is it possible to make a Mythic gametype based on SLASO?

EDIT:I now know it's impossible.

I don't understand the question.

Even with that quote corrected, it still doesn't make much sense.

Unless what he is asking is if you can make a Custom Game which plays similar to Mythic. Really, there isn't any way to copy the Blind Skull, Cowbell, Catch, Thunderstorm, Tilt, Tough Luck, Grunt's Birthday Party, or Mythic Skull.

So, not a completely perfect rendition, but some of those Skulls wouldn't make sense in multiplayer.

I'll look in to making a gametype for it. Though a Forged map would probably be required.

Not sure why anyone would really want to anyway though. It is, after all, multiplayer.

I'm a great guy really.

Yeh, i've started 2 do that vincent, i'm now starting to try my own way with tsavo, but I struggle too much on the part over the bridge, so i need to try and find a way of speeding through and getting a chopper, which is what im starting to find. Finding my own ways easier now.

I'll help you by working on a way to get past that bit tommorow when I get home from school. Do you want to use a Chopper or Hog once over the bridge? I'll help you work on a easy method from there.

Well, I dont mind, if i speed-run it i can get a hog there, if i go a little cautious it can be a chopper, both options are do-able... but only got past there twice, from many tries. Only got to the two chopper part, taken out by wraith once and carbine the other time. But yeh, it would be a nice help if you could help me either find a way to kill things better, or speed through better, because the 2 times i got through were all luck. Hog may be easier for me to get there in, but if chopper opens more ways around then I can get that too. Thanks

well the only easy way (I think) to get vehicles in order to not destroy it is by using an overcharged shot of a Plasma Pistol and with that same shot try to take out its shields and board the chopper. now Wraiths you do the same thing but now you aim it at the gunner to stop the wraith and at the same time to take out the gunner's shields and then headshot the gunner and board the wraith, kill the driver.

Keep in mind, though, that sometimes the Choppers explode even if you only kill the driver. Usually this will happen to at least one of the Choppers in the Drone area of Tsavo Highway.

Na, its the wraith from the bit before that which im on about, shoots over the rocks and gets me from a distance, when i ahve to steal a chopper to gain shields and get to the part you are talking about. Also when taking it slow I only take the chopper if one goes undestroyed anyway which i hope it is, makes it much more convenient. i switch between speed-run and slow as i find them jsut as easy as eachother, if i cnt do 1 at the time i do the other.

Who ever said the BR and the plasma pistol is for n00bs they are one them selves they must not have done legendary or attempted slaso!!

By the way when I play on legendary I Always have skulls on atleast 3 when I done the game single legendary i had atleast 3 skulls on for every level and that was my first time doing legendary. THe skulls I usually had on were Thunder storm, Tough luck and another one depending which level It is.

P.S don't ask me why I said all this because I am not that sure.

I'll work on using both options. I'll also show the safest way to get a Chopper aswell. I will do it later when I get back from school.

Your Kamikaze run was identical to mine. lol. The only exeption I could find was that in the second open area, you go right instead of left. I'll tell you why I stopped doing that. Too often, the Grunts would prime their plasma grenades just as I was rolling through. Too late to dodge, and they stuck the hog.
