Yo Tyrant, I've got a really cool way to run through one part of Tsavo Highway where you don't get hurt and it's really quick and easy. Should I send you a vid or should I just say it here? I found it on the day XBL was out and I was practicing SLASO. You may know it already but I just figured I may not just let it go to waste, I'd prefer to help other people achieve SLASO too :D


Hit us up with it man. Don't let anything go to waste which is Mythic related. It may help someone with an ongoing problem or give a different view on a certain area.

Sorry, I'm confused about this a bit... Are we allowed to submit the video if we die, so long as we finish the level at some point? I keep dying at the last moment (just after Phantoms) and having to back out and start again.

So yeah, can I die?

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

Yeah Ok, I'll upload a clip tonight :P

So we have to play the level without restarting, a video with no retart 1 run through no restarts from begining of lvl cause of skull is that correct?

Tell me what the rules say.
These rules? They only say this about dying:

Q) Am I allowed to die?
A) Read up on Mythic Difficulty

From everything I've read, nothing has been said about dying.

Its the first question.

Q) What is Mythic Difficulty?
A) Legendary + all skulls activated + scoring. Zero deaths per mission whether it be solo or co-op.


But what Im wondering is because when u beat it it will show 0 deaths. But the question is does restarting cause of iron skull count as a death for the contest?

Nope. It will not count as a death. You're still restarting the mission even if Iron restarts it for you, so every time you restart, you get a clean slate.

OK, thanks for clearing that up. I though Iron simply reverted you to the mission start, rather than completely erasing that playthrough's history.

Ok thank you thats the only confusion I had about it all. So just to make this 100% sure I can submit my near 2hr long vid as long as i beat it it showing 0 deaths correct?

I found a guy that has done the following missions on Mythic.

Sierra 117
Halo
Floodgate

He also doesn't seem to be a Bungie.net user.
This makes me think, there are probably people out there that have complete Mythic and we'd never know.

Ever think that he just looks at Bungie.net but never bothered to make an account here or maybe was unable to link his Gamertag?

Interesting...How'd you find him anyway?

And as always, if I jump 50 miles up in the air without being in the Olympics, then I can't get noticed.

Hehe, more of a chance for others to win, eh? Best of luck to everyone. Just got mine submitted. A "run through like an illegal immigrant" style was more appropriate than my previous "I have a belt. It has a nuke on it" methods.

I think the most frusterating part of it is when you have elites that go grenade crazy and stick you or themselves while your near them, or when magically a flood survives from the hammer then kills you.

  • 06.18.2009 1:13 PM PDT

I beat down a Scarab.

Only one more day! How exciting! =D

Ive always wondered does destroying a infected body (when it doesnt have a flood pod in its chest ) regen health also, or do you have to destroy the body with a pod in it to get the health back?

I am not sure. I do not think it would do this though. It probably wont as it is dead.

What happens when we send you a p-m with the details? Do you send us a message or just say that you got it etc.? That was my 2nd time completing floodgate on mythic.

I'm a great guy really.

No, it doesn't give you health back which is a shame. It has to be living (or moving technically, flood whatever yeah).

I once got health back from hitting a Weapon Case on The Storm. Although I wouldn't reccomend it because it was 100% glitch and wont work again. I've tried it so many times. No idea what caused it or what happened or anything. I remember driving the Mongoose with no shields. Jumping off in the second lakebed and hiding by the Missile Pod area. Hit that Supply Case then jumped on a Missile Pod, and my shields had recovered. Strangest thing I'd ever encountered.

Or it sure seemed that way, I hadn't punched anything else.

Member of team Master Theory.

17th Mythic Conqueror of Halo 3.
5th Mythic Conqueror of ODST.
If you would like to know more about Mythic difficulty please go to this thread. Thank you.

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

I feel like a noob lol.
Sprinted through to the Prowlers, used Gazas' rock to kick their asses then nuked the Covenant vehicles with my Rocket Launcher. So far, so good. My marines decided to lend a helping hand by taking the armour off a Brute who was driving a Chopper, so I finished him off, then I used the Chopper to kill a few more Brutes and hid behind it as the last Ghost came to investigate. It got itself stuck against my Chopper so I jammed his engine with my Plasma Pistol... Then I broke the first rule of road safety. I walked out in front of a vehicle. A vehicle with guns. [facepalm here] >.<
It was all going so well too due to me finding a rock used in Pahat's 24 minute run which makes the top of the hill a breeze to get through.
What makes it so frustrating is that I know I could have doubled around behind the Ghost and still hijacked it.

Moral of the story: Listen in road safety classes, they're even useful in Halo 3.
