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've never attempted it, but wouldn't the level Halo on the Mythic difficulty be easier if you completed it with a ghost instead of a hog?


On solo, you do not have that option. Ghosts are only available in co-op mode.

Indeed. But I'd still probably take a Warthog than the Ghost.

Hey, did you know that the Sentinel Beam can get headshots? It only works if the shot is initially fired at the head, though. I suppose sometimes the Sentinels could pull it off...

With no shields? A possibility it is.

I don't remember to be honest... just the sexy blue beams emitted from the Sentinel Majors :-)

I've been playing through the H2 campaign, and I haven't noticed any headshots per se, but as we all know, Halo 2&3 does have a "health" system, and I noticed that if I had gone no shields, and then taken damage, and then regained my shields, and then taken significant damage again, eventually something as tiny as a slight beam across the ankles would kill me. Or, maybe it was a headshot and I just didn't notice it. Pretty cool though.

Has anyone tried to go into custom games, and then grabbed the sentinal beam, and lowered someones shields, and then tried to pop em in the head?

Nope but seeing this I think I'll try it tonight and let you guys know afterward.

On Halo this is sometimes an option against the shielded forms if you're out of ammo or didn't grab the Infinite Laser. The sentinel beam has the potential to be very effective.

I used the snetinel beams against the sentinels on Halo :-p

btw, I just tried Tsavo Highway and got to the point where I was killing the second wraith but then a shiny blue ball of plasma shattered me... I'm not too annoyed cause the whole run was a bit chaotic and dodgy :-p.

Both of the Choppers got destroyed so I was stuck with the warthog but failed to get over the broken road with it. So I had to walk my way through the jet pack brute part and the whole time I had downed shields...

More bluntly put, beating the second half of the mission without racing through certain areas with a vehicle is an astounding feat on Mythic Difficulty.

And from that day forth, my heart changed, and a voice echoed: "Power... give me more power...!"

the sentential beam can be useful on campaign, I call it the Legendary AR.
simply because it is a VERY souped up AR. the damage is crazy, and the whack in it is stronger than a normal whack.
but on SLASO, you depend on a different set of weapons. EMP's are a need, and headshots are the ONLY way to go. I'm sure that most of us know that a sniper on SLASO is the equivalent of a pea-shooter.

I bet. The issue I have with the end part of tsavo is you have to race towards the end, making sure no wraiths are choppers are waiting for you. Then while you're clearing out the first blockade you have to not get hit by wraiths plasma mortars from down the bridge. To do tsavo on mythic is admirable.

most of it is grabbing EVERY PP (plasma pistol) and BR ammo and logging it forward, sure when I did it, I didn't have ALL skulls on, no iron or blind. but it captures the same challenge to some degree.

Absolutely. In fact, I recommend in my guide taking out the Wraiths on the bridge before moving up to the blockade. True, the blockade can be assaulted without taking that extra step, but doing so allows you to hang back with your own wraith and destroy the blockade from a distance without too much fear of retaliation.

The Mortality medals combined with The Armed Conformist will make this a rather extreme challenge for this month's contest ;-)

One of our Conquerors has been running through the campaign trying to earn the Armed Conformist medal. Basically, it means beating the campaign on Mythic without using the plasma pistol at all. So far he has made it through Tsavo Highway and The Storm. Simply stunning.

They are indeed.

These will make the contest more challenging for the Conquerors, giving the ones who are new to the game a much more even chance of success.
