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

Posted by: MATCLAN

I failed every time trying to skip the river, I did manage to do it once but the 77 Brutes and 876 Grunts that I left behind followed me into the Sniper Forest.


I'm surprised, I thought such a rush would be right up your street, in fact when I first did it I thought "Gazas will enjoy this." And usually if you're too slow only 1 Brute, 1 Shielded Jackal and about 4-5 Grunts follow you into the forest.
Still it's so close to that start of the mission if you skip the opening battle that the risk/reward is - to me at least - wothwhile.
I did enjoy it and I killed every enemy that followed me but it's not worth the risk. I had Snipers behind me too, a Sniper hit one of the Brutes as well, missed me.

No company that uses terms like, head-to-head, man-on-man, action-sack, and mancannon is homophobic.
I supposed that teabagging is.... what, a representation of a new form of colonoscopy?

Couple questions about the challenge: If it takes multiple attempts to complete the level do you want us to clip the video so you only see the successful run? Also, how long after we submit it should we expect to see the new medal on HaloCharts?

You're going to need to contact the Halocharts staff as far as I know for the medal (unless they have automated the process somehow).

You don't need to clip the video. Just upload it into your file share.

  • 06.11.2009 7:23 PM PDT

Hey Tyrant once we put it on our file share do we send the video to you? And if so how can i send it to you

  • 06.11.2009 7:51 PM PDT

how can i send you the hyperlink?

Mythic Conqueror #22

More information regarding Mythic difficulty can be found at this thread

Ok, I'm bored of doing Tsavo Highway over and over again. I really thought it would be easier. It always seems like theirs is a freak variable that happens everytime I time I try the level that eventually kills me.

So, for a change of pace I did a test run of The Covenant for the first time (leaving iron off of course). I actually surprised myself, I really thought the towers would give me problems but I got all the way past the scarabs and into the control room before I ran into trouble for the first time. Cleared out the first bridge (or so I had thought.) Got blasted by the two grunts with the FRC's that came out of the door way. I had no idea that was going to happen. I really wish that I would have had a carbine or BR.

It seems like the bridges would be one of the easier parts or the level but I died multiple times there. Once I have them down it, then it's putting mythic on and going for it.

  • 06.11.2009 8:16 PM PDT

It took me 12 hours to complete The Storm >.>, I couldn't get past the Scarab and I was very persistent with the 1.0 guide on it because it seemed the safest, then I went and did 2.0 and it took me the 2nd try to complete the whole mission >.> Onto Tsavo Highway =)

Question Tyrant, you might have already answered it, but:

"At the end of the week, a winner will be picked and awarded Recon. At the conclusion of the nine weeks, there will be a special 10th Raffle for all the people who conquered the campaign in its entirety on Mythic Difficulty prior to June 12th, 2009."

"Q) Then why does it say you need to be a "Conqueror" by June 14th to gain a "Safe Seat"?
A) To give people the whole weekend to complete the campaign. See how nice I am?"

Which one is the deadline?

Edit: And also wondering the same thing, where do we submit it to and how?

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

Hey tyrant i remember your posts about 4 pages back about the covenant it got me thinking would it be possible to skip tower 2 and 3 by getting out of the map at tower 1 and then force loading it at the scarabs?

This is the best video i could find of it.

The 10th week raffle, like you said, is for people who have completed all nine missions on mythic. To be eligible in the 10th week raffle you either have to beat mythic by the 14th of June or complete each weekly mission. It's either one or the other, no mixin' it up. But thats only for the 10th week raffle. The first nine you have to do within the weeks assigned, even if you have already been named a conqueror, if you want a shot at recon.

To submit your entry all you do is make sure all the mythic requirements are met, put the film of your run in your fileshare, then on bungie.net you PM Tyrant with a hyperlink to your film (film summary?) stats that shows you did it... Well, thats what I get from it at least.

Thats about it, hope this helped and keep your BR close and your plasma pistol closer..... you'll need them.

Halo 4 Mythic Conqueror #1

I've updated my Crow's Nest run to include the game stats now. It can be found here.

I only managed to shave 20 mins or so off, it would've been more had I not screwed up the Pelican jump again x_x

Also, did you know that if you toss out a flare, jump jet brutes may actually avoid you long enough for you to slip by into the corridor on the right of the landing pad? That flare saved my life against the last 2 carbine brutes.

This might seem like a stupid question but I wanted to be sure. For the campaign scoring, should I have it set to "team" or "free for all". I don't think it scores any different since it is just single player. I have been practicing on FFA since team wouldn't make sense for a single player only contest. Just wanted to be sure.

Well i spent 1-2 hours trying to get the end of the covenant to load for me but i had no luck. So i will ask some people over at HIH if they could do it. :)

FFA, it doesn't really matter anyway.

Please do not send me "recruitment messages" as I'm not interested in joining any groups currently.

Amazingly I just nearly completed The Ark on my 1st attempt. I left Iron off to see what are would give me trouble, and astonishingly I only died during the 1st 2 skirmishes. I managed to complete the rest of the mission first try.
Tyrant, could you reiterate your safe rush for those 2 areas that you mentioned a few poages back please? Any other help from people with experience of rushing sections would be appreciated too. If I can clear this section I'm getting a safe seat for the final raffle. :-)

Awesome! And you can actually view it on the HBO walkthrough. It's the "Kamikaze" method. The only change is that I steel from one of the sleeping Grunts at the beginning instead of one of the active ones in the second area. It's easier to use a Plasma Pistol to kill the Captain at the top of the spire, but if you think you're going to need your Sniper Rifle later, use Plasma Grenades instead.

Could we not replace the word "Legendary" with "Mythic" in the default description. ie:
"Floodgate on Legendary, Saturday December 13, 2008 23:44:13 " would become
"Floodgate on Mythic, Saturday December 13, 2008 23:44:13 "

That way the date and time stamps would be kept in order too which might make your job of sorting through the entries for those that meet the requirements a little easier.

That's fine too. Really it doesn't make a huge difference to me since I view the stats of the game anyway to make sure the player qualifies for the raffle.
