So how do you get the Chieftain to stare at the 'Hog? Is it just a glitch or if you park the Warthog somewhere specific will it work?
As for the Storm You'll have to remember about the two extra grenades kept in the back room because they'll probably come in useful. Otherwise I would suggest trying to stick an enemy in such a way that you can inflict a fair bit of damage to the rest of the group. Then just send the Marines in and pray they can earn their pay.


I've made him do it three times at least, but it appears it involves how close he is to it. When he was far enough away, he'd shoot it. What usually ends up happening is this:

1) I wait until he is off of the building, and is on the other side or by the nearby building.
2) Drive Warthog up and place it on barrels so the passenger can't take it.
3) If the Chieftain is on the opposite side of the building and hears gunfire, he sometimes comes around the side facing where the Marines are, upon turning the corner to where the Warthog is parked, he spots them.
4) Chieftain wants to attack but cannot do so without harming himself. For some reason he also won't board the Warthog, so no action is taken.

Can't you for once laugh at my jokes?

For the Chieftain, the Arbiter tends to stare when he's up close with Rocket Launcher as well.

I'm a great guy really.

I've never fought that chieftain. You could've just jamikazied that area too, kamikazed all the way to the choppers past the broken path area. PP'ed 1 of them, driven off, taken down the wraiths and stole 1... I think i only used a human weapon for 4 shots in total (unless i messed any up)... jus br'ing gunners and chopper drivers out. Tsavo is quite easy without human weapons, if you can kamikaze that is. Still, how do u do the 1st 2 areas of the storm? Theres no weapons for room 2 b4 going outside either is there?

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

Try the Dark Mortality Medal, Vince. Or Apocrypha. You'll have fun with those XD

I don't kamikaze; why would I run from a battle in hopes that I'll live when I can fight said battle and make sure that I do?

And if Tsavo is so easy without human weapons, then by all means, try.

That's a different type of kamikaze, you can also kamikaze and clear the area....however that would work.

I would do, but i havn't had the chance to get on halo much and would rather do sierra anyway, im pretty sure i could do it though. Also its all preference, i find it easier 2 dodge and avoid in kamikazis rather than take it slow.

Do not invite me to your group.

No, I do not want to join your group.

I am not interested in your group.

Tyrrant, you're lucky this didn't happen to you when you were SLASOing Cortana.

Considering the Warthog is a tad faster then feet, I think that's obvious. =)

Affirno, that was pure win.

Ha, really unlucky but i say re-do the editing... the first minute or so is pointless and annoying, take that out and culd b a very good video. The actual splatter itself is very funny tho lol.

Ya I know uploaded the wrong file. I was olny playing to get a feel of the lvel to try it on SLASO or mythic or whatever. But then I died in unlikley ways.... Maybe I should do a differnt level, that has no random flying enemies. Like Crow's Nest. I'm pretty good at that level.

Actually, I've been splattered by the door before where the Tank Flood emerges. He likes to flip it around as he's hobbling towards you.

  • 01.09.2009 12:28 PM PDT

Lmao.

Of all the ways for someone to die, I never expected someone to get hit by a Combat Form propelled at them by an explosion.

That must have sucked. :/ I knew he was there, but didn't know it would send it flying at me.

I wonder when the possibilities will end.

Anyway how do i get the IWHBYD skull? I jumped through the rings and everything but it didn't appear. :/

That's why I usually face him mano y mano now. With the other Flood destroyed, it's far easier to back up as much as needed and jump behind that column to avoid debris.

  • 01.09.2009 12:31 PM PDT

One time a Grunt did what I call a "kamikaze cannon". I shot him in the head and he dropped his primed grenades which exploded, propelling a Plasma Grenade from after he died directly at me which then exploded and killed me.

I wonder if an explosion could launch a Chieftain's helmet fast enough to kill you on contact?

Maybe i should have. But I didn't really have time to do anything.

Maybe. If it hits you right I guess anything can splatter you.

If you would like to know more about Mythic difficulty please go to this thread. Thank you.

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

Well I tried Cortana again just now and was just about to leave the projector room on my return run only for an infection form I ignored to reanimate a combat form behind me who happened to be holding a Mauler.
On the plus side it was eventful in randomness; I had a fresh Sword disappear as I put it down (to juggle weapons), a DC to break via me trying to position some debris to strengthen it as it was placed wrong. Finally I had a Sword run out of charge as I was hitting a Stalker form.

Strangely I'm actually starting to enjoy repeating this mission all the time, I seem to just focus better when I'm relaxed and not actually getting frustrated with the deaths.

  • 01.09.2009 1:17 PM PDT

I just got over my the Missile Pods in the second lakebed. If you're wondering if I fought the Chieftain, the answer is yes, I did. I'm not going to use Missile Pods, which means I actually am going to board the Scarab for once. Ugh.

Check my video if you need help with that. (Obvious joke)

  • 01.09.2009 1:34 PM PDT

D'oh. I killed the Scarab, but one of the Grunts on the Plasma Turrets on the side decided it wouldn't be fair for me to get away.

Edit: Not bad for my third or fourth try. Lol.
