I didn't watch all of your video (started it but my brother told me he just had to watch an MLG vid he downloaded in which Final Boss toyed with some people online.
I did get as far as you entering the tower though, and those particular Grunts got me before too. I sure as hell wasn't expecting them either, but once you learn where they spawn just drop a Plasma Grenade in their midst a second before triggering the spawn. It confuses them and flings them around allowing you to get off better shots.
I do need to watch the rest of the video though, thanks for sending it. :-)

I just thought it was too funny to keep to myself. If only I could have recorded my ear shattering scream...

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

So I booked it downstairs and tried to go in front of this door of grunts, but as I was running around trying to find this door frantically, they spawned and I was right in the middle of them. I've never screamed so loud from Halo before. Needless to say, despite me taking out 2 of them, the 3rd one got me, and I was dead. That's when I moved onto The Storm.
Yeah, the Storm is easy enough once you get the hang of it, as long as you don't screw up like I do. And whatever you do, don't forget to kill enough Covenant at the end for them to retreat under the gun. I forgot that. And died.


All you really need to do is take out the Chiefain's shields and most of the troublesome ones will retreat. Then use the turret to take out the AA Gun.

I'd recommend doing both The Storm and Tsavo Highway before attempting to tackle The Covenant. The level itself really isn't all that difficult, but it's very long and there's lots of room for error. Less so on the other two. Get your feet wet with lesser Covenant missions first so you don't spend the next six months trying to get through your first Mythic run :-P

I really want to do The Covenant, and with your new reinforcements technique I should be able to make it to Tower 3 easily. However Hunters have always killed me at that section. Yes I can kill all the Drones with a Brute Shot, but then things take a turn for the worse when trying to stop the Hunters covering each other.
They're rather persistent too, unfortunately.
Anyone got any fail proof anti-Hunter techniques that don't involve getting up close with a Sword or Brute Shot? I know Fuel Rods work, but there's only enough rods to kill one Hunter and then the other one becomes purely focused on killing me.

I'm planning on being comlete by mid june at worse. I think I've got Sierra 117 pretty much covered. I just gotta remember to stay in the room after letting the marines out. Tsavo seems like it should go smooth now... in theory... The Storm should be done by tonight. Maybe Tsavo as well. Already got Floodgate and Halo. Then I feel pretty confident in The Covenant after you walked me through. Things were going pretty smooth up till that point. Also, Tyrant, I wasn't able to watch our video of how you snuck past with invis, so I made my own route, and I wanna know if its the same as yours-

I go to the right after entering the room, jump on a supply case, then leap on a little ledge hanging off the wall, and then into the room on the left of the lift after comming down, and then run on the platform and go up.

after that, I've got Crow's Nest, The Ark, and Cortana, which I plan on doing in that order.

Did you go to that secret Fuel Rod supply case out in the trees outside? Tyrant showed me it tucked up secretly in he grass. He had a full Fuel Rod when going in. Supposedly Vince has a secret with the Spiker, but I have no idea how he can pull it off.

You sound scared of Cortana, Shadow. Why save it for last when you could just get it over and done with?
Hell, do like I did and take 40 minutes over it if necessary, but it feels great to finally know you won't be fighting the Flood anymore.
And you're lucky thinking you'll be done by mid-June. I really want to do some more Mythic, but unfortunately it is time consuming and my final exams have recently started, so I need to prioritize. :-(

EDIT: Yeah I know about the secret Fuel Rod case, have used it before but it seems to take an awful lot to kill Hunters and I've never yet had enough ammo to Fuel Rod both of them. And as for Vince's Spiker trick I still have yet to see evidence of it (I think he did it in one of the Twin-Mythic videos, just not sure which one).

I am absolutely terrified of Cortana. I dont understand all these portable cover placements, and ranged forms piss me off.

I think I'll be done by then. We missed out on our shot to go to MLG Collumbus, so that's going to give me some spare time. I'm sure The Ark is going to take me the longest, but I love that level so much, that I dont think I'll mind. I'm preparing to give The Ark 2 weeks. Probably about a Week for Crow's Nest. 'Bout half a week for Cortana. I should have The Storm, Tsavo, and Sierra done in a week. And probably about half a week for The Covenant.

So way I figure it, about 5 weeks. Do I smell a challenge?

Ah, at least you admit it. :-)
As long as you avoid flying wall panels Cortana is generally just unpleasant, not difficult.
As for Ranged Forms... I think everyone in this thread hates them, it would be nice if they maybe had to reload every now and again, just to be fair.
And now for the Deployable Covers, I'm pretty sure I got the placement right in my run, so take a look at this video if you want to memorise where to place them.

eventually ill be back on Reach and CEA. i enjoy gaming for fun, im a great player and i enjoy smoking while i play. so any chill players feel free to add me. I in NO way support halocharts; old username.

cortana is VERY VERY VERY easy. you kill 85% of everything on there with your sword.ive completed it once on my other account and i figured it do it again on this one and i did it first try.what you do not kill with a sword is most of the range forms.

in the parts you cannot get to them just use a grenade that sticks or burns.i save all my nades for them.if you do not have any, use long range plasma rifle. youcan usually kill 2 with a half full plasma rifle. peak out for a split second and pop off 3 shots of plasma, let him shot at you then do the same.

best part about the flood is they do not throw grenades.

There are a total of THREE Fuel Rod Cannons available before you reach the Hunters (four if you decide to fight it out the beach). Two are wielded be Chieftains and only have a bit of ammo, but the other two can be pulled from crates. The first one is near Tower One up on the cliff where you normal destroy the mortar Wraith. Snatch it when you leave the tower and are heading down towards the Hornets. The second one is just to the right of Tower Three. Between those two alone you will have at least 40 rounds of fuel rod ammo to deal with the Hunters since each contains 15 spare rounds.

Also, if you choose to not give the Chieftain's FRG outside of Tower Three to the Arbiter, you will have those as well. You should have more than enough to deal with the Hunters.

I think you've had too much to drink, as you are confusing Multiplayer levels and Campaign levels.

They get distracted by the FLood though, so there's a chance....Try killing getting the Elites killed when they're by the Hunters, that will make a lot of Elite Flood for them to fight. =)

yes, that is the game. i attempted some crows nest and i got all the way to the few brutes in the hallways. i had the one with the plasma turret and his 2 buddies.i plasma shot one of the brutes and attempted to get my shield back. i let him jump at me and even in theater it doesnt appear that he is within 4 feet of me but it killed me anyways.i was going to let him pass and then assasinate him for full shields.

a big problem i had with this level is the amount of juggled and carried weapons that fall through the floor.id drop of one of my plasma pistols and watch it go right through the floor :( overall it wasnt that hard.i wish i could have got to the pelican, i think from there id have it set in stone won.

Where the plasma pistol dropped was that in the barracks by any chance because if so yeah that happens to me too.
