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,

So wait, we're not being judged by points or time, but simply our names will be written on a piece of paper, added to a big fishbowl, and some lucky player gets recon? This is fair, if you do everything nice and steady and as safe as possible but for the hardcore rushers and scoring freaks this isn't really a good one right? :P


Well of course you can't make everyone happy. But is it really fair to base something like this on time when 99% of the community hasn't beaten the campaign on Mythic? The maps were one thing. This is different. I want everyone, both newcomers and veterans alike to have a fair shot at getting that armor. It shouldn't be based on how you play Mythic, but rather you just actually do it. If we had a much larger community, I would have done this differently.

At any rate, I really was ashamed of my Tsavo Highway run yesterday. I had a rough night to say the least and really didn't have my game on, so I redid it and am much happier with the 20-minute results of the new Tsavo 2.0. Enjoy! :-)

Given Recon by Bungie June, 2009.

Thanks Dark :). Maybe I'll try to improve my time a little bit... But that'll be after I'm a Conquerer :). I remember a few weeks ago when I said I hoped to have Mythic done by mid June, and people thought it was just wishful thinking. Looks like I'm making good on my promise!

Oh, and I almost beat Cortana earlier. I aim to have that and The Covenant done by tonight. Wish me luck, guys!

Mythic Conquerer #12

First and foremost. Congrats to everyone whose beaten a level Mythic style. Especially ShadowStrike ^^

Now. I think It's time I get back to Mythic now that Recon Is on the line. Speaking of which. Where's the thread or bit of Information about this competition?
And Tyrant I read In your 2.0 article that there were no real changes to The Ark. I know of a faster (and potentially more efficient) way to deal with the first room In the Cartographer where you actually have to fight. I'll just revise It a bit then give you the details on how It works. If your Interested that Is.

I'm going to give Floodgate another go, wish me luck :)

Thanks. I've tried Halo many times and got very close but I flipped and fell through a hole while driving the Warthog. I'll try again tonight.

I was so close to finishing my first rune ver on mythic. I was about to complete floodgate, and died right at the end. AHHHHH! I will give it another go(hopefully) after the quallifing for F1.

Also, the competition is fair and hopefully, alot of people will have a fair chance.

Yeah, and it's incentive to go back and improve missions we've already done, maybe getting a better time or higher score along with entry for Recon.
BTW, does anyone else think there's an absurdly high amount of Brutes at the substation on Sierra 117? I can deal with the Jackals and grunts easily, but then Arbiter usually shies away from all the Gold armoured, Brute Shot toting monkeys. Does anyone know of a way that I can use to make Arby distract some Brutes so I can maybe get close enough to use a Plasma Pistol or Needler without having 4 or 5 brutes shoot me?

It's the part where there are two Jackal Snipers on the other side of a river, there's also a Heavy Machine Gun turret in the area and it's where you see two Pelicans get shot down by banshees and replaced with Phantoms.
Does that explain it?

No.


Just kidding, yes. I see what you mean by the Brutes, there are so many. I love to rush this place but for survival, stay back and range shoot them from the ladder. You know where the ladders are right? Only show your head and shoot them. Or if you can shoot them in a way that they can't see you, it's even better.

But if you want Arbiter to charge with you to distract them, you need to go forward as well. You know the two shielded Jackals right? Dual noob-combo them and kill them, then finish off the Carbine Jackals. From here you may first clear out the Brutes that are already there. Use the big rock for cover, you can jump on it too to surprise them. When it's all clear, to get Arbiter to come and fight, you need to charge. Hug the left wall and hide behind the pile of tubes that are lying around. Arbiter should follow and attack the incoming Brutes. Peak out to take down some Grunts. And while Arbiter is distracting them, you can jump put and noob combo them.

I hope you understood that. lol.

I see, generally though the problem is that I can't get to the left passage because there are 3 or 4 brutes already standing on the same level as me, as though they jumped down from the higher ground they had before.
I have seen Dark's vid of ruching the area via a quick bath and some grenade jumps, but I'm not really confident with grenade jumps as far as not being able to see my shields goes. How do you rush this section?

I just figured out something new this morning. If you're in the water, they don't seem to attack you. I have started rushing to the water as soon as I get there. My Marines seem to have a higher survival rate now. Also, you're closer to the snipers and can shoot them easier.

Thanks. :-)
Hmm... maybe I could rush the water, take out the snipers and then move to the rock Vincent discovered to take out the small attack party which spawns after the main skirmish and use that to pick of some enemies unawares, it would also probably cause the Arbiter to stop playing HLG and get into the action.
BTW I noticed that you are apparently not planning a 2.0 run for this mission, but there are quite a few other ways to do things, so maybe it could be worth consideration?

I have been considering it, but in order for me to go through with it completely, I need to find at least a few new ways to do things. But they can't just be different from the original. They have to be more effective with shorter times. Basically, if it still takes 90 minutes to finish the mission, a 2.0 isn't worth the trouble.

I'm looking into it though. The Ark as well.

Tsavo in 11:05. I'm on a roll.

Also MATCLAN, because the grenade jump is in water, it dampens the explosion. So you make the jump but only lose half your shields.

Well, Dark's method of skipping the first battle is not only ridiculously easy, but it's quick too. That allows players to conserve ammo for the next battle. The only downside to this is that Arbiter and the marines won't intervene until you get to the section with a Brute on a log choking a marine. However I see this as an advantage because the Grunts will only throw grenades at you directyl so you've got less chance of being taken out by a random 'nade meant for Arby.

Also, I've just been checking your Walkthrough for this mission and apparently the Phantom near the crashed Pelican can get stuck thus rewarding the luck yplayer with an Invincibility device. Is there a particular requirement to have it get stuck or do you just have to hope the driver is asleep at the wheel?

EDIT: To Dark; I suppose I might give it a go then, seeing as there's likely to be a Brute or Grunt I could bash straight afterward. thanks for all the help guys, I will crack this mission soon, and then I'll be onto something else... *mumbles about Crow's Nest & The Ark*
Hey, maybe I'll get finished in time to reserve a spot in the final raffle. Who knows? :-P

I keep getting stuck at this part on Floodgate. It is where you go down the hole in the floor. (still inside just after the area that looks like foundry.) I go round the corner and get blasted to smitherines. I have been trying it without the guide but I might have to use them. Anyway, I have been doing pretty good for my first time on mythic.
