Glad you asked :-) Each time a mission is given an "upgrade", you will notice a "2.0 Guide" link under the corresponding campaign mission in the original post of this thread. However, you can also check the bottom of my file share for the 2.0 videos I have so far. The Storm, The Covenant, and Halo are already there. Hopefully I will have Cortana and Tsavo Highway up shortly.

Yes, in Halo 2.0 I rush the tower and use the Hammer to get to the top. No grenades. I also demonstrate how to get the infinite laser from Johnson. In Storm 2.0, I board the Scarab and also show a much faster way to destroy the AA gun. Believe it or not, two direct hits from overcharged plasma bolts will take it down. Other things are done as well for that mission, such as lending the Arbiter a hand with the Hunters via the Spiker (which seems to be their weakness). Covenant 2.0 has a ton of differences from the original. Too much to explain. You'll have to see for yourself :-)

All new methods thus far have made each mission much easier and much quicker.
I wish I'd known about these 2.0 versions when completing my Mythic Quest!!! Have you added them recently?

I checked this thread a long time ago and the OP led me to your walkthrough guides on HBO. I bookmarked them and didn't return to this thread until yesterday when I'd finally completed them all. Now I find out there are easier ways!!!

Do you intend on updating your walkthrough video guides? I've just mentioned them in a thread over at HaloCharts.com (18th reply).

Okay, I finished Floodgate, but here's the thing: I died allot, every time I died I clicked on Restart Mission.

Did this count?


Hmm... Not sure, seeing as you clicked restart and all. Although that would make it a long film and it's generally better to just save and quit when you die then fiddle the scoring to reset the mission.


In other news I tried The Ark tonight and got as far as the Hunters before they beat the crap out of me (I tried to use a Brute Shot and grenades to make them dive off the cliff, but instead they karate chopped me with their shields).
So, I think I'm watching Tyrant's altercation of the Spiker kill agains thunters as plenty of Brutes means plenty of Spiker ammo. :-)

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

The 2.0 Guides are brand new. Less than a week old actually. I wish I could add them to the original, but I have a feeling Louis would kill me if I asked him to do all the extra rendering and such :-P So I'm adding article sections to the group and linking them to the OP along with the file share videos to go with them. It seems like the best course of action since I don't really have a private website for it at the moment.

Of course if someone wants to upload them to YouTube, that would be an immense help :-)

PS - I read that thread, and thanks for the shout-out, bro :-) Welcome to the Mythic Ranks!

Phew! Knowing they're brand new makes me feel a lot better :)

If they'd been around for a while I would have kicked myself for not knowing about them.

I must admit though, seeing as you say they're a lot quicker and easier, I'm intrigued to take a look and see what you've done differently. Although my Mythic Quest does show your original walkthrough is still very effective, I did find some of the levels extremely difficult and time consuming.

So anything you can suggest to make it easier would be great. I'll definitely check them out if I ever intend to do them again.

As for the mention in the thread over at HaloCharts, you deserve it. Like I said, I couldn't have done it without your walkthrough.

Thanks again!

Yes, this does count.
You have to press Save & Quit when you die, if I'm not mistaken.

Not really true.

Sure, manually resetting it every time looks good if you plan on showing off your films to your friends and such. I mean, who really wants to watch you die 11 times in a row on Floodgate just to see your successful run? But for the sake of proof, letting the game do it for you generates the exact same results, so it's fine in my book.

Halo 3: ReV Eskimo

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.

so i have a new method for the ark. in the kamikaze part i always shoot a shot in the air before i jump on the rock. it wakes everyone up and when you get on the edge the brutes lose focus on you and the grunt show their faces directly at you for easy headshots.

also, for the first vehicle part i take out all the brutes and sometimes have 1 guy left instead of 2.so i had to improvise.i used all 3 rockets and took out all 3 vehicles.i waited for the chopper and i shot him with the PP and took over his chopper.got my health back and got a new chopper.i shot everything else from far.

easy peasy.then i got to the 2 ghosts at the part where you skip some of the level. you can go left or go right. i was shooting the ghosts and one of the choppers from the LEFT area came up behind me and went through me and blew me up :(

i thought if i didnt go left i wouldnt trigger them. guess i was wrong.

Tsavo is easier. But if you want to get Cortana out of the way, I also have Cortana 2.0 in my file share. Just wrapped it up last night. It's near the bottom.

Happy birthday to the Mythic thread! It seems like it's been longer than a year though, despite the fact I wasn't posting on B.net at the the time of this thread's creation. It just seems quite permanent.

EDIT: Just read the story in the Q4M group, very interesting hints at the end there Tyrant, I'll be interested to see what you whip up this time.

Anyhow, Badball3r47 needs to do FLoodgate, I agree with the others and congrats to Treinstation on The Storm, marines are really annoying in that mission. :-)

Cortana 2.0 is now in my file share. This averages a time of around 20 minutes--half the time of the original walkthrough.

Changes from 1.0 include:

- Slightly different exit strategy for Pelican Hill
- Quicker time in the Recharge Room
- Safer and quicker method for the Projector Room
- Hell's Hallway in the event that a Tank form knocks over the crate used to jump up on the side
- The Hive is now MUCH shorter
- How to conquer the Reactor Room (I) without using camo
- Rushing Projector Room (II)

Enjoy!

Half the time for a 2.0 is pretty damn good.
