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

I put a plastic bag over the xbox so I won't spill any water on it while playing Mythic for 5 hours.

I use tape on the whole screen, except the area where the crosshair should be, so I can aim easily.

Everything is interesting if you go into it deeply enough.

If you really want to play blind, play without a TV. Be a man. :)

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!

I tried, but the Xbox gave me four red quadrants of hate.

You could plug the xbox in, but not turn the TV on. Navigate via smell, and what noise the xbox is making.

Then I'll see myself in the TV, which is distracting.

Wait, since when were you Master Chief!? And more importantly when did the Covenant get here? And Gazas your TV sounds like it's got so much glue residue from tape that it's like playing drunk.

Quick Tsavo update: I've fixed my Beam Rifle woes by sniping with one hand whilst I use the other to estimate the position of the reticle on screen. Yes it's crude and I hope to improve but I needed to practice the rest of the mission wihtout Jackal intervention.
So I made it to the section with the first pair of Choppers and managed to take out the Chieftain before attempting to deal with the Choppers, unfortunately in the previous are my marine with the Fuel Rod Gunwas somewhat, uh, overzealous and fired the thing at point blank range when I was trying to drive past the last Brute...needless to say my shield were toast. Finally I was defeated in true Mythic style; by a Grunt - the little psycho stuck the Warthog I'd parked between the two buildings which gave the gunner a good shot at the Shade, anyway the Grunt stuck the 'hog which got blown into me and SPLAT...no more Chief.

Gotta say though I think if I can get this battle sorted and Wraith hill sorted I'll be done with this one quite quickly.

I'm sure you will. It's an easy and fun level, not to mention short.

Yeah, that's one thing about the Covenant missions; they're more challenging than Flood missions due to Black Eye being less than helpful. Otherwise though they're a lot more fun and allow for more varied battles. Also Grunts are funny if they don't know you're listening whereas the Flood just make creepy zombie noises and have tense music playing in the background.

Ahhh. Victory is mine, just beat Halo. I have to say, though the Arbiter is very useful at the start of the level and on top of the tower, he is almost beyond useless on the way to the warthog. I watched helplessly as he stood with his sword, staring at the sentinels.

I think this failure to stare them down made him depressed enough to throw himself off the cliff to his death. Of course upon his respawn, he shot the Flood at close range with his carbine, and then whipped out his sword again for the sentinels. If you want something done right...

Alright, I've just been practicing Tsavo and it would be easy apart from one somewhat major hitch... I apparently have no sense of aim with a Beam Rifle whatsoever. Somehow I could use the Sniper Rifle on The Storm perfectly well, but the Beam Rifle doesn't seem to work. I think that this is because there is more kickback to the Beam Rifle, kickback which is difficult to estimate without a reticle. So far I have generally wasted most shots on the first Jackal only to get the dead man's click when trying to get the others.
I'm planning on practicing on Normal with only the Blind Skull active until I can use the Beam Rifle but any other ideas are welcome.


I know your problem i usually try and get one and by the time i get one jakel i have no ammo so i just get in my hog and drive it up onto the rockand let the marines deal with the brute while i try and get the jackels with my BR. :)
And some how the troop hog managed to survive that dam fight and made it through to where the brutes are on the choppers.

  • 02.04.2009 2:37 PM PDT

I'm a great guy really.

I keep bottling it and fialing the grenade jump at the river on sierra... I've mastered Jew's trick at the start of that level now but i keep messing up the grenade jump, but when i practice it from alpha i always do it fine. Just gotta stick to it really, tried the sniper forest (if ya call it tht) and it was a breeze. Just needs tips on wht weapons to take through the river to the nxt area, BR and carbine or BR and PP? Because theres brutes after all the jackals and I;m not sure which.

Also shadow still makin tht random stuff montage? I got 2 clips, not deaths or whatever but id call them really weird, weirdest scream ive ever heard on a game randomly on floodgate, and flying almost out of sierra up tht waterfall johnsons team goes up by reloading... somehow. Anyway, weird glitches but they were on mythic, if ur still doin tht, interested? If so i'll put em on my file share.

Yeah well i would really like to see this shortcut for the beging of sierra 117 because that part is as borring as blam and i really need these tips so please could someone try and post the vids on gamevee or something like that.

Muzza, gimme a friend request or look on jew's file share and download the sierra trick and sierra river, very very helpful videos that suit my kamikaze style. Just keep practicing the jump at the start, u will eventually learn the spot and be able to do it 90% of the time, but the first load of attempts u will trigger the brutes speech as i did many times, worth the wait though lol, hated tht first fight, always died due to lapses in concentration.

Also DL my tsvao run on my fileshare, i think u'll be impressed, if u like kamikaze and find it easier, thts the route to take. 18 minutes, in a wraith at the end in i think 9 mintues, never did complete it slowly either, tht was my 1 and only completion. Takes time to get the hang of the first half, but once I reached the 3 wraiths for the first time i passed it tht go. Try kamikaze anyway, its on my share.

I STILL havn't activated my live account yet i m waiting until we get virus protection and i have no way of viewing the videos so could someone please even just take some pics of where i need to jump.

  • 02.04.2009 4:41 PM PDT

I may do... if i find the time but its really hard 2 even label the exact spot. Also sorry, i 4got u didnt have live, or i wuldnt have suggested tht lol. If i find time i culd do it 4 ya tho... a picture wnt even show thr spot clearly though, its basically invisible u jus learn by jumping. I cannot decribe it compeltely though, it involves a jump in a hard palce, then another jump and wlkin throo the right area on top of the map then triggering grunts without them shooting you. I Cant see an explanation being possible really, sorry. The jump itself is usless without the rest.

I suppose it would be possible to take multiple screenshots and try and show it.

Congrats Matclan on completing The Storm, that leaves you with 5 to go, so you're moving through the ranks alright. It took roughly 4-5 days for me to get the Ark down, let's see how you fair ;) Oh and the only way to play with blind on is to play with your feet and with your back to the TV, that's what the pro's do, lol.

Thanks, but I think I'll pass up being "pro". And 4-5 days for The Ark? I doubt I'll be able to manage that since I only attempt a mission on Mythic once per day due tot he fact that they are somewhat time consuming and I've got to share the Xbox with two younger brothers who get bored of watching Mythic.
Anyway I've got my main strategies sorted by now. I just take note of key battles in each mission and practice them until they're easy, generally I may even start at a Rally Point to practice battles toward the end of missions.
