The Mythic Threads (Halo 3) (ODST) (Reach)

that sounds like it would be so hard it wouldnt even be fun, it would just be stupid.

QFT.
You guys are acting like this is challenge where you have to swim in lava and survive.

Seriously, how about you watch some of our videos of it, then try it yourself and you will notice that it's not actually that hard. I mean, of course it's hard, but so was Legendary, which you have completed (Unless you haven't completed it solo).

Mythic is fun, if you accept a challenge in a video game. Just because someone doesn't play with humans all the time doesn't mean that we are lame.

I have a question for the mythic completers how many times did you try at doing the ark and the storm on mythic?

The Storm took me two days. I mean, I didn't play for 48 hours, I tried on and off.

Same with The Ark with this level taking me nine days. I didn't play everyday though so we'll make it 4-5.

Please do not send me "recruitment messages" as I'm not interested in joining any groups currently.

Simply do the campaign mission by yourself on Legendary difficulty and all skulls active, also you must not die or save and quit a mission. Then put the saved film on your fileshare and show Tyrant.

So, last night I actually made it to the area just before the A.A. Wraiths...but then I ran out of ammo dealing with the second Grunt on a Ghost, and there was no way I could reach my Chopper in time. I called it quits and made a rush at him as he came near and was shot down.

That aside, I'm developing tactics as I go. I managed to fight out both the first and second areas, even without the Plasma Pistol.

I'm a great guy really.

Actually managed to take down one of the snipers this time, thought it took a few mintues of trying to take it down, and then the other one killed me. They react annoyingly fast still, though nowhere near as bad as halo 2. I think id dint hide for long enough before popping oput again. Oh well still an improvement and im working on a way to run through the first area, i fail often but ive got through a couple of times, is more convenient than taking it slow, im too impatient.

These snipers are the only thing that make me nervous on mythic, hate trying to kill them. Apart from that the only time i got nervous was the first time i passed the hunters on the storm, before being killed by the chieftain. Ah well, sierra will be done... in a few months lol

So, here's a story from Christmas. I'm playing some Infection with friends later in the day. Creeping Death on Rat's Nest...and I get a text message from someone I don't know on XBL. He asks me: "Do you have the Mythic Map Pack?"

I couldn't help but laugh at this.

Since when did this topic get over 6000 replies? lol.
Just look away for a sec and the thread will explode. Have you also noticed that I'm not the last completer?


I saw, good stuff. Although I stopped downloading everyone's videos since there were just too many, lol. I finally watched Tyrant's last video the other day so I've seen all of his, Pahat's, Jew man man's and Vincent's runs.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

Two missions away from finishing Mythic difficulty in Co-op. I know it's easier, but I don't really care. =)

  • 12.26.2008 11:12 AM PDT

I need some help please.

I'm on Crows Nest. I just made it through the barracks and loaded up the elevator like the tutorial says for the Jet Pack Battle. However, I cannot find a deployable cover anywhere. I have a regenerator and invincibility but I cannot find the deployable cover.

How screwed am I? Do I need it like the tutorial shows? What should I do?

Thanks

The deployable cover isn't a necessity at all. I don't see a dilemma here. Fight.

  • 12.26.2008 3:11 PM PDT

CRAP, I just accidentally used my invincibility!! LOL

Well here we go.

  • 12.26.2008 3:17 PM PDT

The battle was a lot hotter than I hoped it'd be. The deployable cover would have made it a lot easier. Killed all of them but I brute. The last brute threw a spike grenade at Arby and some how the splash damage miraculously got me while I was behind cover. I had no shields at that point. Arrrgggg I need a break.

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

Multi-Mythic or CLASO?

Keep in mind that even in Multi-Mythic, there can be no deaths by any player. In that respect, it's actually more difficult than solo Mythic.

EDIT: And best of luck to all our Monthly Mythic competitors! Today is Day One of the challenge! :-)

First off, happy hollidays everyone :)

Second, I have an idea. It may sound stupid, it may sound idiotic, but I think it'll be fun.

You know all the complete BS things that happen during Mythic runs? Well, I have an idea that sprang up today.

I was playing a little bit today, and a grunt threw a plasma grenade. It landed a good 20 feet away or so, so I didn't really worry about it. Kinda backed up. What I didn't see, is that it landed just behind a Spike grenade that was lying on the ground after I killed a brute. Now, this Plasma grenade blew up, and it blew up the Spike grenade with it. Then, a needle from that grenade flew the whole 20 feet over to me, and hit me right in the face. Made me start over. I couldn't believe it.

So, I thought and schemed, and came up with an idea. I remember seeing a halo video similar to my idea a while back, and I thought it rocked.

I want to make a video of clips of all the complete BS moments everyone has gone through in Mythic. From marines grenading you or driving you off the edge, to elites splattering you with boxes they throw at 300mph, to the one bullet that catches you in the ankle just as you're about to finish the level. This video will be like one of those "Where ____ Happens." commercials (see- this video). I will have things like "Where shot by teammates happens" , "Where OMG BULLS**T happens." , and so on and so forth, and ending with either "Halo 3: Where MYTHIC happens." or "Mythic: Where EPIC happens." or something.

I dont know. Still just an idea. I'm just bored and want to do stuff. What do you guys think? Think you guys could find some clips to donate?

So after carefully studying the the video tutorial for the last major battle on Crows Nest (Disarming the bomb) I opened the door and rushed to put the deployable cover down on the right and stick the captain on the left. What I didn't expect was ALL FOUR grunts waiting just on the other side of the door. As I rushed to throw down the deployable cover all four grunts threw grenades. It wasn't pretty. :-/ I've now learned to not trust the walkthrough like a bible, just more like great advise.

r u srs? =)

I died at that part because of the DP - I had none. The Brutes that come from the very right door with Carbines can get me while I'm inside the elevator. I can hide but then I'm in range for the Jump Pack Brutes. It makes it all easier.

Plus, you're on of the veterans and you could easily say that the Plasma Pistol isn't a necessity. You damn pro.

Look back a few pages. I made a post saying at the end of it: "I'm inspired to make a fail montage", or something like that. This one time while doing the Tsavo Highway sans PP run, I drove through the dam area and ended up getting slowed down slightly. A Brute boards my Warthog and throws me out, and I perform a "VK maneuver" (you'll start seeing these a lot in my Ark and Crow's Nest sans PP run) to kill the Brute...hop back in, and everything would be fine...but the moment I am in the seat a Plasma Grenade gets stuck to my head.

Sheer CLASO. Multi-Mythic is much more challenging I already know that and have not played it. However, I watched the walkthroughs for The Ark and The Covenant and I am doing both missions with all skulls but three (the three annoying ones). Blind, Blake Eye and Iron.

You know a ton of little tricks and I love them.

*Edit*

Speaking of "little tricks" I noticed that on the first tower on The Covenant that you do the same thing I do. Jump up to the Terminal room and all that fun stuff. However, I'm surprised you didn't grab the Power Drain next to the Carbine box.

What I do is exactly the same as what you did on the second tower but I don't throw it in the middle of the room I throw it way the hell back there. What it does is it ruins the power armor off the two stubborn captains who don't rush and it serves as the first Plasma Pistol shot you give him.

No walkthrough can outline every possible scenario; like you said, it's advice on what to do, but it alone will not accomplish the mission for you. Sometimes you need to be able to count on your own ingenuity to pull yourself out of a difficult situation.

Plus, you're on of the veterans and you could easily say that the Plasma Pistol isn't a necessity. You damn pro.


The Plasma Pistol isn't a necessity; it's just incredibly helpful.

In time I'll complete the Ark without it. I was struggling through the first battle without it...now I can hold my own in that battle, the second, the third, and against the Prowlers. If I make it to the tanks, I'm rather confident I have it in the bag.

Hmm, after re-reading what I posted, i thought you'd all make fun of the idea and steal my lunch money, but if you guys think it'd be a cool, then I'm up for it. So here's the deal-
_____________________________________________________________ ______________

I'm looking for clips from everyone of BS moments you've come across in your Mythic journey.

These clips MUST be on a level on Mythic (slaso) difficulty, just to stick with the theme (yes, I know something epic might have happened on easy, but this is in honor of Mythic).

I will need you to put your file in your fileshare, and recommend the films to the gamertag-

MyTipsToReach50

You can send it a friend request, manually type in the gamertag, whatever. I will then render them with my capture card.

I'm going to start editing saturday, 1/3/09. So get your clip to me sometime before or shortly after that time. Those entered after the deadline have a higher risk of not making it to the video. I'm hoping to have this released sometime mid-late January.

Try to keep videos to 15 seconds and under if you can. More shorter clips will be added than longer clips.

I need some help with sayings that will go along with clips, and I can use some of those now. It'd be nice if you can include one with each video, but be aware that what you suggest may be replaced by something a little more general. Please no "Where a grunt shoots you 4 times and then a brute comes up behind you stealthily happens" quotes. Nothing too long or something that completely tells the situation.

Keep your quotes in the "Where ______ happens." formula.

Here is the video that inspired me-
