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

i was working on the Floodgate.......got every guy dead.....was about to drop in the hole.....a LEFT OVER flood with a sword made sure i didnt drop......i cried.......

and YES, learning to play with all the skulls on becomes instinct, as if the game was created that way. you learn to seek cover, play safe, use ammo CAREFULLY and other such things you never have to think about until you do SLASO.


That's even worse than what I went through. lol. I literally ran through the entire level, got to the very end with no shields left, jumped to get into the hole, and got pegged by a range form. One round was all it took.

Yes, once you start playing SLASO, you start playing the game very differently. If you conserve your ammo, you can actually make through Sierra 117 almost entirely with either a BR, Carbine, or Sniper Rifle. And yeah, I executed a few of my Marines too for the cause ;-)

1 bash with no retaliation will regenerate your shields in full. It takes about a second though, so if you get hit while it's recharging, it won't recharge all the way.

Does anyone even read these?

I may have another try at SLASO, I'll take up the challenge because I really want to complete it.

I'll try it, but im going to need more pepsi, plus patience when get through Tsavo Highway, it literally took me about 50 tries on legendary, imagining it on this SLASO, well i'll be there for 200+ tries... unless i read guides, but thats like using a manual... i just b/s it...

I'd recommend just running through that last part. When you get to the hill or are near it and being pegged by ranged forms, drop a bubble shield. There's only one in the level that I'm aware of and that's where the Elites first land. Save it. It really comes in handy during that last segment.

easier said than done man
theres 3 stalkers across a huge gap shooting at me
about 5 pure forms and 3 stalkers infront of me, if i hadn't laid dep.covers id be dead now, the only hope i have is to go straight at em with a sword and hope black eye skulls effect keeps me alive, but my swords low, so im gonna have to track back and get a new one o_o

OUCH, i managed to peg a pure form as he turned to a stalker for the kill but a pure killed me, nvm the SLASO thing guys, i just aint ready yet, but i got close, and with enough practice ill probably have a good shot ^^

I'll send it to GeeVee and pray it's small enough for them to do it.

When I tried to upload the Halo vid, they said it was too long. I'll need a capture card for the other levels.

Flood levels seem loosely luck based because you never really know when the pure forms are going to change from one to the other. I'm also not very good with dealing with ranged forms. As you'll see from my films, I rarely ever engage them at all. How many carbine shots did it take to bring one down?

oh, i didnt manage to bring one down, the carbine had 5 shots, i couldnt tell though, but after those 5 it took arby about 30 straight seconds of turret pummeling to bring it down

Yes, my experience is that they aren't even worth the ammo, thought the Brute Shot seems to be a valid option when you can find one.

i find its easy to bring them down with a sticky, mainly plasma, say theres 2 beside eachother pummelling spikes into you, a sticky has great usefulness here, if not, a brute shot IS a good option ^^

The main issue I have with confronting them is the fact that you generally have to be out in their range to do it. Rapid burst carbine-like ammo coming at me makes me a scared :-P
