When you go to melee to get your health back while playing mythic difficulty, do your shields completely recharge when you hit an enemy, or is only a small amount regained?


Full Shields. But beware, they do not regenerate back instantly. And if you get hit whilst they are regenerating, it will interupt the regeneration.


Yeah I have realized that the process of the shields recharging is not to fast.

While using the BR and Sword, I got to the final area, but I died because the Arbiter fell off the cliff somehow and I had no backup, lol.


That happened to me too, saw Arby elegantly backflipping over the cliff just as a ridiculous number of Pure Forms swarmed towards me... hmm, run away!

You da man, Vince :-D


Absolutely nothing useful. Sentinel Beam? Nope. Mauler right up in melee range to his face twice? Nope.

I decided to use the stun from the Plasma Pistol to escape down the stairway, covering myself with a Bubble Shield of course. When the time went to go check upstairs, the door was open and I could see his turret sticking through part of the wall. He was right next to the door waiting for me. Of course, I'm sure you could use Flame Grenades on him when he has no shields. I'm not completely sure how many it takes. I'll check.

Edit: More than two, that much I can say. Also note that the door hacks. Sometimes you cannot shoot or melee things through it even when it is opened. I found that out when I threw a Flame Grenade and it promptly exploded against the air where the door is and killed me.

I did find a solution though. It's entirely possible to skip that Chieftain. You want to kill him? Fine, go ahead. I sure as hell will.

But if, say, you're too worried that something will go wrong (you should be practicing Rally Point Bravo of the Ark until you can do it without dying. Then continue to doing that until you can do that once, twice, three times!) or you're just lazy...you can Plasma Pistol him as you approach him, run through the door and drop a Bubble Shield to cover yourself.

Now, let's say you want to kill the Hammer Chieftain early via that glitch I found. Get a Cloaking from one of the Brute Stalkers, make sure you stepped on the correct spot to get rid of the death barrier and then head back up. Crouch while looking through the glass because the War Chieftain will be waiting for you. He should head over to the right side of the door. As you approach it, use your Cloaking and walk across the room and through the door. Grab anything in there you might want and go drop down to see your Chieftain pal.

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!

It says NO CO-OP.

And thanks, Vince. That's what I figured. I'll give that a whirl.

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

I'm watching the 2.0 Ark run and the part with the Brute who takes a leak was so funny, the Marines totally failed.

Not to mention the dance with the War Chieftain. Phew much?

I despise Bungie, they're one of the worst studio's out there.
Anyhow enjoy these amazing clips:
1 kills 4 on his own
ULTIMATE SUMO ASSANITATION
Here is more

Oh man ! Tyrant are you super meticulous in the mythic recon entries ? Because i didnt do 2 things, tell me if I should or how I can fix these.

1. when I sent you the links (post game carnage and download page), i sent them to you in this format: Named Hyperlink - text

2. The name of my file is mythicfloodgate but my description does not have "mythic recon" in it.

Are the problems forgivable, please tell me what to do.

Actually. I just redid The Ark 2.0, and cleaned it up greatly from the last one. I also decided to avoid the War Chieftain entirely as was discussed before. In short, that seems to be a far better avenue than risking a melee engagement. Check it out :-)

When did you replace it? Just now?

The Halo week begins this Friday right?

Frank Eats Goat! Frank eats gunther! Frank Eats Everything!

A little note i found useful on tsavo hwy...
In between when you first meet the choppers & when the drones come out of the tunnel, try to keep 4 brutes alive (hopefully not a sniper). When it dropped to 3 brutes left, they go & hide behind the big blue barrier. When you have these 4 brutes left, duel wield some plasma pistols & quickly pop their shields so they berserk. From there its much easier (for me) to kill them. Then go trigger the drones wt your copper & roll on out.

Everything is interesting if you go into it deeply enough.

Tsavo Highway... So far, I love this level. Possibly because I can drive by most of the enemies.. But also because I love vehicles and open spaces.

I just did a test run of sorts without Iron on, and actually did better then I expected. One problem I have is being terrible with the beam rifle. However I seem to be able to drive past everything most of the time, and since it's right at the beginning, it's not that bad.

After that things went smoothly until I got to the part with both wraiths... I managed to only have a few shots left with the BR, so I could only take out one of the gunners. I think if I get that far with enough BR ammo, I should be fine to the end.

Quick question... Has anyone completed the mythic campaign as 1 continuous game? What i mean is, starting up arrival with all skulls & legendary & not dying till the credits roll? I know it's daft, but i'm interested to know if it's been done.

If you like the flames that's all that really matters. Plus, in my opinion the hate is going to make it that much better. Nerd rage is always funny.

Im gonna be doing the halo mission on mythic :D Good luck guys.

Sounds good, I enjoyed watching you dance with the Chieftain, but quite frankly it's not really efficient or safe. Much better to kill him on 1 spine snapping blow or to avoid him altogether.

Otherwise it seems good, and I thought I'd mention that when watching your first 2.0 vid last night I searched the Scarab in Theatre mode and it turns out that there are no enemies on board. The Jackals actually spawn amidst the wreckage of the Scarab after you kill it, which makes the idea of boarding it a lot more attractive if you're looking to speed things up.
Anyway, I've been practicing from Rally Point Bravo today whilst XBL has been down and I'm pretty confident that patience is the deciding factor at everything in that section except for the War Chieftain which is why I'm so interested in skipping him. Also it feels awqesome to take out all the snoozing enemies ninja style. :-)
