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!

So I just watched the Tsavo Highway video, and something has me confused. How did he trigger the cutscene at the end? I was under the impression that you had to kill x-number of Brutes plus the Chieftain. I've had occassions where I brought down the barrier, left the Brutes alive, but all I could do was wander around inside the tunnel.


I thought that at first too, however I the impression get from Pahat and Dark's videos is that you only have to kill the Shade turret and deactivate the barrier before moving forward a little to trigger the cutscene. I could be wrong though, but those look like the two key objects in the section.


That's pretty much what he did. Granted I did some testing back in the day, but maybe something changed?

*Shrugs*

Would anyone be willing to test this out?

Yeah, I'm bored right now, I'll load up Tsavo and give it a go. I may even improve my previously embarassing time of 1 hour 10 minutes.
I'll be back in about half an hour with the result (and I'll play sans Iron do I can revert to last save in order to try different things)

I was right, kill the Shade then remove the barrier and you're done as long as you're standing close enough to where the barrier was (position yourself near the crashed Pelican).
It seems safe enough, although it depends on the previous area; when skipping the batttle it seems that 2 of the Choppers spawn next to the Brute blockade and they try to kill you whilst you drive past.

I'll give it a try tonight and see what happens. Huh. I wonder why I had issues with it before...

I tried that, the Shade dead and the barrier down, that will give you a checkpoint, driving down to the barrier will trigger the cutscene.

But when I took the Wraith down there, killed both Shade and Turret, nothing happened.

Odd that it doesn't work with the Wraith (I used a Chopper). Maybe it's because the Wraith is so big in comparison to a foot soldier and other vehicles? That could maybe cause the AI to be more aware of it or something. I really don't know, just supplying possibilities here.

Everything is interesting if you go into it deeply enough.

Don't know if this helps, but I did Tsavo Highway on Legendary a little while ago, and I came up in the wraith, destroyed the turret, Chieftain, and shield door, but it wouldn't let me finish the level until I killed the last brute that was hiding.

Also, I just finished Tsavo Highway on Mythic in a lightning fast 40 minutes. Haha.

I'm a great guy really.

Died right near the end of Sierra 117 today because of a stupid mistake so slightly annoyed, especially since I juggled stuff there, actually too much stuff and has alot of things unused, I only needed a BR, sniper and beam rifle. I had all brutes dead, including chieftain and all jackals except 2 shield ones and what I thought, all grunts. I surveyed the area to see if there was any and jumped down, just to hear a shout and see a grenade fly past my face, ran away and couldn't see the grunt, when I finally came face to face with it, my initial reaction got my killed. Instead of moving away from the grenade, my priority was to kill the grunt, which ended up with my death as I jumped a little too late. Very annoyed, the two jackals seemed to be the only two other things alive. I know I can do it now, thanks to Dark's dam vid anyway.

What? It told me that the post didn't send, so I re-sent it and it said it again so I sent it again and backed out, it seems all 3 did actually send so I'm sorry for the spam. It told me it hadn't....

Read above, sorry. I also watched my Storm run today and realised how bad I was at mythic back then, even laughing at how pathetic I was at tackling situations, I know I've come a long way since so it will be fun to see how much better I can do.

Glad to help.
I'll try to get a faster Crow's Nest and Covenant done soon. The Ark can come another time, I've played that mission to many times.

Terrible.. Just terrible.

Anyway, I tried the storm again when you left, aaand I can't beat that damn scarab. Missile pods just don't work, are there any other effective ways?

When I got bored, I betrayed a marine for a BR, and juggled it up to the crane, sniped the grunts on board, and fired rockets at the brutes when the scarab was still. I cleared it out eventually, but then the scarab was too far away to jump on to lol. =/

Cheers, I'd really appreciate the videos, your methods do seem to be the ones that suit me most, fast but not too daring. I usually take your videos and add slightly more caution to most areas except the odd ones where I use alternative methods.

Harty, look on fileshares, I'm sure some people have videos of boarding the scarab.

Question in regards to the Tsavo speed run and that area with the Choppers, Chieftain, and Barrier (right after the dam). So... what do you do if the Shade turret guarding the Barrier is on the other side?

  • 06.24.2009 3:32 PM PDT

should the floodgate medal on halocharts have popped up by now? I want to be sure that I'm submitting my videos right if my floodgate run hadn't had counted.

Alright, since no one appears willing to answer my questions, I want to make this clear. I WILL NOT be including the Tsavo Speed run in any walkthrough. It's 95% based on luck. Period. There are far to many factors that make a successful run for the average player damn near improbable. I DO NOT want to see this recommended to new platers. If you want to use it to improve your own times or recommend it to others who have beaten the mission so they can improve their times, that's fine. But DO NOT recommend ANY high-luck based film to newcomers UNLESS it has gone through the Tyrant Test FIRST.

Thank you.

I received my Halo 3 Recon armor on 8-3-09 for completing Sierra 117 on Mythic Difficulty through the Summer Mythic Recon Challenge.

Mine hasn't appeared yet either, but read back through the last few pages and Tyrant listed a submission form for the medals, just fill one out. HC doesn't update for another day anyway, I'm hoping mine will be up after that.
