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

Reminds of the Hammer Chieftain in The Storm when he lost his helmet and was just about hit me when I ran out of ammo...

The worst time I've ran out of ammo was on The Covenant. I was shooting the Hammer Chieftan and his helmet fell off. Just about to kill him when I heard "Click Click Click". I managed to stick his two bodyguards but he used Invicibility and I quit from there.


I think something like that happened to me and Gazas during on of our Multi-Mythic runs on The Covenant. We both forgot to switch out our used Beam Rifles and Plasma Pistols for fresh ones only to run out of ammo at the last second.
Also I don't think you needed to quit that part because even an Invincible Chieftain can be assassinated. Just use your Ninja Gaiden 2 skills. ;-)

It was a speedrun and I needed the Invicibility to skip the enemies crowding the first area of the tower.

Yeah, Pahat would tell you that only cowards need to be invincible before running through all the enemies. That said, he's invincible anyway so it shouldn't count. ;-)

It can be a pain to get too, since it isn't always easy to tell when he'll activate it. If you use my method with the laser, he is almost guaranteed to use it. With the BR, he may or may not, but if he does, he usually obtains that "Invincible Chieftian" glitch, in which case, you'll more than likely have to restart the mission.

If he glitches can't you just assassinate him? I've watched Gazas do that so many times that it really is a simple case of just jumping out of the way at the right time. Of course if he becomes invincible to assassinations too you have problems.

Indeed, I do this aswell. I also do this with the first Chieftan at the start of The Covenant.

It's the quickest way and if you know how to do it, it's the best. My problem with this is that the Hammer Chieftain is so assoholic, sometimes he jumps right at you and hits you instead of doing the casual launch where you just can go around him and assassinate him. But sometimes they become a -blam!- kangoroo and just jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, until I happen to fail to dodge the jumps. Like in my new The Storm run, I almost died because of this. Sure they can jump at you when they're far away but 10 feet? C'mon! On top of that, they're vision is locked on to you when they jump so you can't go around them, they'll turn around in the air.

Other than that....

I remember him doing that to us once while we were trying twin Mythic. We were both like WTF!?! for ages, especially when he hit you then sort of did a pirouette in order to bash me.

So I tried to launch up some Mythic today in the form of Tsavo Highway. I've learned that marines cannot specify their targets based on threat level.

"Oh man... there's a brute chieftan with a fuel rod cannon... right next to him is about 3 other brutes with snipers and brute shots... and a brute chopper driving around... OH! Look at that grunt! He's going down!"


...geez...

Any suggestions for my next level after Tsavo?

I tried The Covenant at first but decided to out it off and do Sierra 117 instead. Sierra is much easier as long as you play smart when around Jackal Snipers and don't forget to stockpile weapons. I always forget that bit and get killed once I hear *click click*.

I suppose it depends which mission you want to do more, like how Tyrant loves The Ark but nobody else is quite so keen on that particular mission.

Achronos: And what's this about a "design team" I've been hearing? Apparently stosh is so awesome he's now considered a "team".

I love the Ark i just don't like it as much on Mythic.
I have done it lots of times on legendary.

Yes, it is the hardest mission on Mythic. It's my favorite level in general mainly because of just the over all size, and the fact that it has a little bit of everything (with the exception of flying). Not to mention it's graphically stunning. I always feel there is more to do on that mission. Therefore, it keeps me entertained longer.

For Tsavo, try rushing with the Warthog, you have nothing to lose since it's in the beginning. I would help you out in detail if I didn't have this much work to do.

Sure it looks nice...if you like sand, sand and more sand. ;-)
Personally I prefer the scenery in The Covenant because I prefer greenery and water, but that's just me. Oh and it reminds me of the beach assault from The Silent Cartographer in Halo CE. One thing I will concede however is that The Ark has a superior skybox (galaxy and space battle visible form the ground anyone?).
As for more to do, that depends on your play style and personally I prefer being airborne and looking at the scope of the missions, something I dearly wish was possible with The Ark, when 'Rtas Vadum says "Not bad Spartan, I saw that explosion from orbit." I feel so envious lol.

I tried The Ark after I beat Halo. I thought it'd be cool to get the hardest mission out of the way. Great idea in theory. Not so much in practice. The part I love most about The Ark is when that huge ship comes down and drops off the scorpions and everything gets blown away. Epic.

Yeah but when you get hit by one of the destroyed AA Wraiths...not so epic.

I got hit by a chopper wheel once at that part. It was funny until I realised I had to start over again.

Makes you wonder why a ship as massive as the Dawn needed the Chief to take out those two whimpy AA Wraiths before it landed... >_>

Good point actually. I'll just call in a MAC strike on the whole area when I get to The Ark on Mythic and then let the high velocity winds finish the job. If only the UNSC weren't short on ammo...

Or Keyes could just crash into that area and kill them all....you know, so she can be useful for at least one thing.
