Sure, I'll help you.

Everything is interesting if you go into it deeply enough.

I know. I know. It's been a while. But... I finally did it!. I had a random urge to fire up the Storm, just a try or two. Anyway, I found it amusing that I finally succeeded, especially on this run, since everything went wrong.

First my marines almost killed me in the first room, since throwing grenades over the box is something they have yet to master. Then, at the first chieftain, my warthog disappeared, and I came back to find a few brutes, grunts, and jackals all waiting for me.

By some miracle I managed to get past them. Everything was going nicely until the Scarab. I decided to continue to use the missile pods, instead of jumping aboard. My marines were causing lots of trouble, and I missed a few easy shots at the core. I eventually got lucky and slipped one in. 5th time is the charm, right?

Armed the Arbiter up, he charged in and prompted died, leaving a room full of brutes and just me. I got lucky and a brute committed suicide, then I got a incredibly lucky stick, and the Arbiter came back. Then he died again against the the Hammer chief, and a good 30 minutes of cat and mouse ensued, until I managed to take out his brute escort, and the Arbiter finally woke up and killed the Chief.

I made my way (very, very cautiously) to the AA gun, killed all the grunts, and took down the Fuel Rod cannon chief's shields. Strangely he didn't retreat, so I backtracked and gave him the taste of a few rockets. After that, I plasma pistoled the AA gun, and finally...

It's been what, 3 months? Granted I didn't try very much. I just about gave up after the 4th death in the warehouse, but I don't know, there is something awesome about Mythic. Even after all those failures, there is nothing like beating the level. I don't think I've ever properly thanked everyone here, all the help and suggestions given by all of you. Thank you. And thank you, Tyrant, for writing such a great guide, so those of us with... Less determination? can manage this.

At this rate, I might finish my next level by ODST. : )

Mythic Conqueror #22

More information regarding Mythic difficulty can be found at this thread

Almost got through The Covenant today, I made it all the way to the scarabs. My run was going great until that point. I went over to grab the hornet and park it but instead of getting in, good old Master Chief decided he didn't want to fly and promptly took a seat as a passenger ( I guess I didn't come straight enought at the hornet).

I quickly got out, went back to the tank and destroyed the first scarab. To my surprise the hornet was still on the hill. That was the good part, the bad part was that a marine was piloting it. For some reason he decided to stick around and just hover there while a battle was taking place.

So I'm thinking, " Everything will be fine, I'll just boot the marine out, go destroy the other scarab and maybe have a shot at beating this huge level." Unfortunately, the Chief had other ideas again. For the second time I accidently took a seat in the passenger side, and leave it to the trustworthy marines who always come through, to immediately fly off (with me on it).

After that it didn't take long for me to die and stare at disbelief at my TV.
Lesson learned.

Master Chief + Vehicle + Marine{Harbinger of your death) driving it + Mythic = Explosions, falling to your death, being run over, grenade spammed, driving into several enemies, and any other combo that results in you having to start the level once more.

I'm confident I can easily make it back there, it just takes so long. I was having difficulty with the jump in tower 1. Everytime I would practice I would make it, but when I would go for my mythic run I would completely miss it both times. I found it easier just to clear the tower first and then go up.

I think I can have this level done at least by Saturday. :)

I thought I read something last week, before the challenge started, that there were going to be some medals or achievements for completeing different levels on Mythic Difficulty. I also remember there being another medal for completing the entire campaign like this. Did I misread something or is my memory bad? : ) Clarification Apprciated, and sorry if you already answered this question I didnt see it anywhere else.
I would kinda like that medal for completing the whole campaign on mythic!
Thanks!

No. you have to do everything the rules say to the point or you will be rejected. BBcode isnt that complicated. you can google instructions to hyperlink with bb code

Aren't some of you aware of the fact that there's a text formatting legend down below the text box?

I would think so. Maybe they don't notice.

It's Called Teamwork Hotshy!

Wow...I just beat Floodgate SLASO but since I died it isn't ocnsidered Mythic? Why does it matter? You have to start all over anyway? Now I have to do it all over again...

Wondering the exact same thing. What's the difference between quitting out if you died, reloading everything and starting over vs. just re-starting the level normally?

Quiting out and resetting doesn't put anything excess on the game film itself, where restarting does.

Seriously, would you do a 2 hr run of the Ark, die, then restart and this time complete it and have a 4 hr film on your hands? I doubt it.

So length of the video is the determining factor? I don't get it. You can go look at the end product on the website, see that someone obtained a score/finished the mission and how many skulls were used. You don't need to view the entire film just to make it legit....

Please just explain this a bit further for those of us who aren't understanding.

It's more in the conventional sense: you don't want others who may actually want to watch your video get bored from the length of it. It doesn't really apply for the contest though, and speaking of the contest: Floodgate for those who want to take a look.

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

I honestly don't care how long your films are. The winners will be chosen at random, hence the word raffle. Whether you choose to restart the mission manually or allow the Iron Skull to do it for you doesn't matter to me.

I just completed Floodgate Mythic. Will my Family Settings affect my chances in the contest in any way?

Thank you for the timely response. After 3.5 hours of my own guys sticking me and my inability to stay out of the fight, I finally got through Floodgate. I felt cheated reading some of the posts here saying you couldn't have any deaths included in the film at all. Thanks for clearing that up!

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

Wel i have been trying to do halo and sierra 117 lately i mannaged to get up to the warthog run then i hit a bump and just watched as my hog ballanced on the edge then fell. While on sierra 117 i got to the end of sniper alley and then tried getting my shields back from the last jackle and died. :(
