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!

Yes. For The Storm, use your BR to gun down the Grunts driving the Ghosts. The Ghosts should be your first priority. Next comes the Wraith on the far side. Equipt yourself with a bubbleshield and travel along the far left side towards it. When you get close enough for the secondary gunner to start shooting, drop the bubble shield. From the point, the Wraith will think you to be too close and will usually try to ram you. Use this to your advantage by boarding the back and punching it to death.

The AA wraith is even simpler. The main guns won't be concentrating on you at all, so just sneak around back while keeping your distance from the secondary gunner, than board the back and bash it to bits.

Yes. This is why I marked the 3rd spot with question marks rather than leaving it blank.

How do you know there's a third person? How can you confirm when someone claims they've completed SLASO? Oh and how many hours/days/months did it take you to complete? This feat is simply incredible! Good job.

Thank you :-)

To answer your questions:

1) The Bungie update stated that two people had done it prior to myself. One of them I know and is on my friends list. The other remains unknown both to myself and the LASO community. I became number three.

2) The easiest way is to check the stats. by looking at the campaign games played, you can see the details on each game including times, difficulty, how many players, and which skulls were on. Pahis (one of the other SLASO completers) even went to the trouble of saving his SLASO runs on his fileshare for everyone to see.

3) I've been practicing for awhile. Don't know how long exactly, but the actual run took roughly two weeks.

any tips for the storm.......those wratiths seem invincible with the ghosts defending them.


Personnally, after getting out of the first area, I take my Ghost and go straight for where the Wraith is dropped by the Phantom. As soon as it is, I board the back and beat it down. Then I go for the room with BR ammo (It's guarded by a Brute and a bunch of Grunts). After I take that room I focus on the Ghosts and then finally the AA Wraith.

This is also a note-worthy method.

1) Let the AI deal with the Hunters. As of the present, we have not figured out an effective way of combating them with all Skulls on.

2) After killing a few Grunts and Jackals in the next area, the Brutes (including the Chieftain) will retreat back a bit, giving you some breathing room. Plasma Pistol/Battle Rifle combo the Brutes including the Chieftain. The Chieftain will take a few more headshots with the BR, but it's still feasible.

3) The last battle is one for the Arbiter. Let him do most of the work. Make the fuel rod Grunts your top priority, then the regular Grunts, then the Jackals, and lastly the Brutes.

yay i have fininshed the storm........thanks very much for the tips!!!!!!
i have also found out that while battling the hunters there is a place where you can hide but also shoot them at the same time. when you enter that room where you battle the hunters jump through the glass window and you can shoot them with a shotgun or br while they battle the arbiter and the marines.........though watch out because they occasionally shoot back but just side-step away from the blast.

Sierra 117 and Crow's Nest left!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just be careful not to waste too much ammo.

Just finished SLASO Cortana! I kept dying every 3 minutes into the level and I got really angry so I decided to take a breather, came back and did it on my first try, in 22 minutes to boot (cutscenes included). Just uploaded it onto my fileshare. Now off to The Ark or The Covenant, whichever I feel like.

There is no way, no F-ing way, I could ever have the patience or skill to do that. I can't even finish Tsavo solo on normal Legendary, how you did it SLASO is beyond me. You're a god.

I really think that all SLASO completers should get Recon. I mean, come on, how much do you have to do?

Look at it in terms of getting used to it. Remember beating Halo 1 on legendary? Once you do it and get used to it, playing it on anything less just seems ridiculously easy. With SLASO it's about moving into it. Starting out with the easy levels then getting to the ones that present more difficulty.

True but you have to remember that the doors lock once you reach a certain point.

Does Slaso include silver skulls?

I would attempt it but I can't deal with Blind skull lol.

  • 06.18.2008 2:26 PM PDT

Yup. All skulls, Gold and Silver. The best way to get around the Blind skull is to put a small piece of tape where the reticle would be and colour it black or some other easy to see colour, that's what I did. Just keep in mind the weapon and vehicle reticles are in different places.
