I do know Halo Wars has skulls, not sure if they will have effects though.
Imagine the blind skull, no HUD, no circle menu, just the screen. That would be hard.

You wouldn't be able to see what you create or anything. Probably be too hard. Harder enemies and weakened forces is more realistic.

Yeah. It was a joke though, it wouldn't be so much fun with a Blind skull.

Smarter AI would be nice.

Oh Gazas, I watched the video you sent me. And I use your method to clear out the first inital fight. It is so much easier and faster. I managed to beat the Scarab in about 7minutes thanks to that. Which would have given me 6 minutes to clear out the rest of the level, if I had survived, and I would have beaten Pahat's time of 13minutes.

Well that's my theory out in the open, I was just keeping it quietly to myself ever since I saw the leaked achievements for the game. I reckon Tyrant will come up with some sort of Mythic difficulty for Halo Wars to test our strategy instead of just our shooting and map exploiting skills. :-P

Your welcome. Strategy games are my weak spot along with Sport and Racing games. But I'll try if there is a Mythic difficulty on it. I know for sure there is Heroic and Legendary.

I've got an awful feeling that I'm going to be stuck between two Mythic difficulties, and usually my only gripe with RTS is that the AI can generally do everything faster than you because it doesn't have to worry about complex decision making, internal struggles or reaction time.
And I'm awful at sport and racing games too, mostly because I find them boring though.

EDIT: Just been reading through the first few pages of this thread again. The support form the community Tyrant was getting was immense. I can only imagine what it would be like to have so many people following your every move all the while questioning if it was possible. And I definitely agree that The Storm is the most fun Mythic mission because of the AI, I can't help but laugh when Grunts stick Brutes etc and give great sighs of relief once the marines stop throwing grenades.
Maybe I just like explosions...
Still, never would I have dared attempt Mythic without Tyrant persuading me to give it a try. His belief that everyone can do this is brilliant because I'm beginning to see why he would say such a thing; Mythic is one of the most challenging yet addicting experiences I've had in any video game. When I finish it I'm gonna do it again for the sheer hell of it - just faster.

Also I have no idea why I felt I had to mention that, I suppose it's thanks for getting me started with this, I just know I'm not going to stop until I do it.

Do you have to complete a level all in one sitting?


I will sign up!!!!!111
: )


You have to do it from start to finish in one run. No saving and quitting. The closest you can come to taking a break is hitting the pause button. To clarify for everyone, Mythic entitiles you to start, run and finish the same mission all in one run. The entire thing should be in ONE saved film.

DO NOT save & quit as this action is considered illegal in Mythic.

Best of luck in the contest and have fun!

Did I ever mention to anyone other than Tyrant that I'm working on an abridged version of this topic? I already had gotten the first 150 pages summarized the day I started. Right now I'm waiting on the topic to hit 300 pages, since right now I have no idea which specific people to mention. For the most part I highlighted the conquerors, but I cannot predict so well who will eventually drop out.

Then again, I also don't keep a very, very active eye on everyone's progress. I know who the people are who are working their way through Campaign, but I would actually have to check the group to see how far along they are.

He also hasn't played any Campaign on Legendary on his own so don't waste your time looking.

I'm glad that it helped.

How do you pass the area efter the Scarab (the area with those workers)? I know a way to skip all of the Brutes before the Hunters but I'm positive that someone already know about it.

(Correction, all of the Brutes before the place where you see the Captain beat up a worker)

I can skip them, but I tend not to, because they will follow you back and make the next fights a lot harder.

They've never followed me when I skipped them. Though they never noticed me when I skipped them either. If I flee from the Hunters back to the area, they're just standing there, waiting.

Feet first into hell.

Any one feel like helping me get the uh... Cowbell and IWHBYD skull? Having a some problems getting em.

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

Just a reminder, folks, we're on Day 3 of the Monthly Mythic Challenge!

"For us the Storm has passed" - Fleet Admiral Lord Terrence Hood, March 3rd 2553.

After a war of attrition with the Scarab and final Brute pack it is done.

File Shared film here and Bungie.net stats embedded into the quote.

It was slow and steady but I did only have to melee one Brute (not counting the jacked Wraith on the first lakebed) during the entire thing.

I'm thinking of Tsavo Highway next, any other recommendations seeing as Tsavo has a bit of a reputation for the final battle?

EDIT: Random side note here but on checking my past Mythic runs it would appear that they were all completed on either a Tuesday or a Saturday... My lucky days?

Hey,Chakku, add me on XBL, I`ll give you a hand, those two can be something of a pain.

Tsavo Highway is pretty easy. Warthog > Brutes. Chopper > Brutes. Wraith > Brutes. You get me?

I get it, as long as I "borrow" the right vehicle for the job and skip certain very nasty battles I should be fine?

Yep. The first few fights can be skipped completely or you can slowly kill everyone. I'd go for killing everyone first time round as its easier. And you can skip the battle with the Wraith and lots of Jump-Pack Brutes. Once you reach the final area. Wraith all the way.

When taking the kill everytihng on the first areas option would you recommend staying in the 'hog and using it's superior speed and mobility or getting out and using the Plasma Pistol and BR?
Or should I do both by giving the marines total control over the Warthog?
