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!

UPDATE:

I tried the new method for the Motor Pool yesterday, and it really wasn't all that much better than the Kamikaze method. It allows me to survive longer without any real issues, but when Wave 2 comes to play, I still wind up having the same problems. I've conjured up yet another method that I'm going to try tonight. If it works, it will allow me to take out roughly a 3rd of the Brutes almost instantly.

All and all, it's gotten to a point where the Motor Pool seems to be my main choke-hold. Sure, 1.0 makes it easy, but it forces the player to stockpile and can take quite a bit of time. This is what I'm trying to avoid.

Here's a fun question, what would we call it if we had access to SMASO, Solo Mythic All Skulls On?

First off, gratz on cranking up your level of difficulty for Halo 3. It's a fun challenge and one you can enjoy for a long time without the harshness of Matchmaking.

Second, please start editing your posts instead of posting multiple times in a row. I do not want to see this thread get locked, and if I start seeing even the slightest hint of forum rule violations in this thread, I immediately report them to the mods.

This is your only warning, my fellow campaigner.

This may be a little obvious but did anyone know that Brute Shots are highly effective against Jackals? I can save a lot more BR/Carbine ammo by using the Brute Shot instead.

I was playing through The Covenant a few days back. And I was entering the third tower. As the Brutes approached out of the door leading to the Third Tower. I threw Two Grenades. One stuck a Dead Brute, and the other went behind the Brute and knocked the Brute towards me and the grenade exploded in my face. Quite irritating.

Which mission?
Well specifically put, Sierra 117. I was behind the rock below the ledge where the two Shield Jackals always stand. Two other Jackals came towards me and a Brute Shot was right in front of me so I thought I would give it a shot. Three quick shots, they both flew away.

Before I always tried to carbine them but using it will waste around 72 Grunt Headshots. So against Jackals, I think using a Brute Shot when it's available is better than unloading projectiles.

That scene above wasn't the only time I used it against them but try it yourself.

Dark, that happened to me too many times today, I really got mad at that. Speaking of today, I just found a new kamikaze way in the beginning of Sierra 117. Will you like it? I think so! Will you think it's safe? No no no no....I don't either. But it's just for laughs and crazyness plus it's in the beginning so I'm just going for style points....and idiot points. I'll redo it someday and show you, it's something I really want to share.

But when you watch my videos, please don't look for logical things that I do, when I don't make tutorial vids, I make kamikaze 1% chance of survival videos. Like the one in Crow's Nest. It's for entertainment, if anyone would actually enjoy that.

Yeah, Jackals are really weak to the Brute Shot, it chucks Grunts around pretty well too. Although I will say that I prefer the Needler against shielded Jackals.

MATCLAN, who was the guy who played on your account today? I wanted to play some Mythic when I ended up playing 1v1 with him, he kicked my ass and then he quit. I sent him a message asking if he were you, he said no.

Gazas, that's a little off topic, I'll discuss it with you via PM if you want though.
Anyway, I'll play Mythic anytime when my friend isn't using my account.

Not really, I included Mythic in it. =)

I thought you'd be on to play though so, sad face. But at least I got to play Sierra 117.

ODST looks to be more challenging, with mythic it should be extremely hard.

a few months ago, me and a friend were argueing about odst. he thought that it would keep with the same entire halo theme with a few changes here and there for playing as a odst. i thought that it would be more stealth integrated because of the fact that the odst is more fragile (unless if you count the mithic skulled odst) than master cheef and because what other perpous whould silenced wepons have?

on a side note what skulls whould you think that the bungie team create 4 odst?

Mythic Conqueror #22

More information regarding Mythic difficulty can be found at this thread

argh!! - I keep getting to the wraiths at the very end of Tsavo Highway ( which is good because i finally have a strategy that seems to work). I can take the first one down. I tried to steal it a couple times, but I always got blasted from the back from the two wraiths that come up after I start engaging the brutes. When I try to take the down the other ones I keep running out of plasma pistol ammo. The only way i can get any more is from the turret with the grunt in it. But when i get the ammo i'm so out in the open either i get killed by the choppers or the wraith(s).

I got the ammo at the base of the cliff/highway
Is there any more ammo besides the grunt in the turret?

Anyways, i should get lucky once or twice and thats all i need to complete the level. :)

Good, a new challenge is always an improvement. Of course it may end up that skulls only work in Firefight mode as open world encouters with skulls might be quite difficult to implement. However Firefight + progressively activating Skulls is a potential vidmaster staring us in the face, something like: "Complete 4 player co-op Firefight on Legendary with each player scoring at least x points." Regardless it sounds like the new Mythic could be based around Firefight mode if we get the option to activate skulls beforehand.

Have you checked out the walkthrough? Both 1.0 and 2.0 use the same method for dealing with the three Wraiths. A general rule of thumb is to not try and steal the first one. Either you'll get blasted while trying, or even if you make it inside and across the bridge, you'll have to deal with the other two lobbing mortars from behind while you deal with the Brutes.

MOTOR POOL UPDATE:

This battle is really starting to frustrate me. I'd like to make it work every time, so I'm asking all of the people who do this Kamikaze style to step forward. Most of you tell me that this works for you almost all the time, so my big question is, what are you doing differently?

With all of my strategies (accept for S&S) I always seem to be running into the same problem on my failed attempts. Eventually, the number of Brutes that come after me exceeds the number I can manage. Usually this happens towards the end of the battle after the second wave has emerged. It gets to a point where 2-3+ will start coming after me from the right side of the trailer, and sometimes one comes from the other side. I even had an instance yesterday where four came at me at the same time from the same side of the trailer. I actually seem to do fine on the opposite side of the room up until they push the large double-box too far into the wall in which I'm no longer able to hide behind it. Is there any way to limit the number that comes after me? Perhaps I'm doing something to provoke more of them to come at one time.

Again, S&S seems to work pretty much every time unless I do something stupid, but I'm trying to prevent the need to stockpile, and Kamikaze is clearly faster.

What should I be doing differently to make Kamikaze more of a success?

I'm redoing parts of 2.0 now that I've found a way to completely eliminate the threat of both the second and third waves of the Jump-Jet battle.

I'm having the same problem, Tyrant. I made it to the Motor Pool last night, admittedly I had no shields from the Drone battle, but I managed to enrage a Brute and give him a quick pat on the back to get my shields up. Then it all went wrong with some 4 Brutes rushing me from the side of the truck, they had weapons too so even with shields I stood no chance.

Roughly 1/3 of my attempts seem to succeed, which isn't terrible for a Kamikaze, but there must be another speedy way that can help to avoid stockpiling. I'm going to try something slightly different tonight to see if that helps, but any of you Kamikazers out there please feel free to pitch in your thoughts and opinions on the matter.
