Subject: "Your" Quest for SLASO (List UPDATED 7/7/08!) With Guides!

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

Happy to help :-)

Incredibly enlightening. I'll wait until I'm actually good at the game to try any SLASO, however.

But, when fighting the Flood, and Hunters, I ALWAYS have a Brute weapon. Choice being the Brute Shot, and on Halo and Cortana, I carry Brute Shot and Spiker.

For the Flood, one melee is all it takes with the BShot, and two with the Spiker if you don't melee their tendrils.

As for Hunters, they're not quite as easy to strafe around as in CE, but if you can beat Legendary with no skulls on, you'll have no trouble moving to their back, and two good melees with the BShot work fine.

Didn't see those recommendations on the last page, so figured I'd propound what I can offer. Much luck to all who try this. ^_^

I think I actually still have my Halo SLASO still on my fileshare. Feel free to download. As for weapon selections? Against the Flood you want to keep a BR and Hammer in the final level. The hammer will allow you to scale the tower while the BR will give you the ability to take down both human and Brute combat forms from a distance. Happy gaming!

Oh, I love the Battle Rifle. The Flood just don't carry it often enough for me, especially with Famine on. I encounter Brute-turned-Flood forms carrying Spikers all the time, and enough BShot that I get by; not to mention my preferred method is to melee with them, anyway. I mostly use the BShot ammo when my shield's low and I need to run for cover.

Different gamers, different creeds. Success is the focus, not method. : P

But yea, I'm definitely gonna dl your film for Halo SLASO, at the least.

Well to each his own. Just remember to use that Active Camo on Cortana wisely :-)

That's cool. I have two vids on my fileshare now. I need to find a way to make room for more. The plan right now is to get the footage and film in third person (so people can see what weapons to use) and then do voice overs (aka commentaries) to tell the people what to do and what not to do.

If anyone wants to get together and play some Marathon Durandal on the xbox contact me and we can work something out.

And Sonic and Pahat both have been kind enough to offer tips and such that have really helped.

I've started Crow's Nest and here's a little review on what I've managed to do so far...

Did any of you beat Halo 2 on Legendary solo? Remember Cairo Station hangar 2? On SLASO, that's what the Brute hall right after the bomb intro reminds me of. It wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the Black Eye Skull, but seeing as how your only real chance for success here comes from gunning down the Brutes from a distance, this becomes a challenge.

The real humdinger comes after you manage to take down a few, then more show up and two wielding carbines (which like to eat away at your shields like pinpoint accurate candy!). I finally found a strategy that seems to be working for that battle.

First, stockpile that small corridor with plasma pistols from the drone battle, and also at least two extra battle rifles. Then *push* five or six Marines down into that little tunnel as well. Once you're set, rush into the Brute hall and stop at the barricade. The back door will now shut, trapping the Marines on your side. When you think you've been pegged to many times, blast off the shields from one of the Brutes. This will cohearce it into charging at you. When it gets close to the door, back up and place the Marines between you and the Brute. They won't shoot, but they'll gain the Brute's attention long enough for you to assassinate it and recharge your shields.

also on legendary i tend to carry all the terrets that are from the cave and the hanger into the hall and unload on the brutes from the doorway

Download the Floodgate film from my fileshare. That should give you a few pointers :-)

Haha, Tyrant. I bet bungie would have given you recon too, except you had to go and boost a 50. Sucks, now you can't even play mm. I remember back in the day when me and Aces were just trying to help you get a 35. Good times. I don't know the last time I've seen you online man. Decisions we make, I guess.

One shall stand, one shall fall.

Congratulations to those few who have done this, I tried playing Sierra 117 SLASO and it was incredibly difficult. I might try again to beat the entire game SLASO eventually, but I don't have much free time anymore...

maybe without the skulls, but on slaso it's just a waste of ammo.

No kidding. You have no idea how many times Johnson lasered me on the last level. Thankfully Guilty Spark took care of that!
