Subject: Official Halo 3 *Mythic Difficulty* Guide (ALL SKULLS ON!!!) on HBO

When does each mission need to be completed for the Summer Mythic Recon Challenge? Does each mission need to be completed the Friday it opens or can it be completed up through the next Thursday?

For reference, i'm talking about the completion of the mission, not the submission of the link to Tyrant.

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.



This is true, I was lucky enough to beat Tsavo on my 3rd try of the mission. But when I went to improve my time further, I wasn't able to beat the mission again. So I uploaded my 4:54 time even though there are many mistakes in it.

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?


This never happend to me. Does it have a special reason or is it just random where it's position is?

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

With the part after the dam the majority of the time it is on the far side but i have had it on the near side too so yeah but i will be trying it since that part of the mission is my only problem so far.

Ok floodgate is up. Sorry about the quality but i was having problems with lag using the rendered video mainly the audio going faster than the vid so i hope this eliminated the problem.

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

Actually, I've found that when it's on the driver's side, it works to my advantage. I can simply ram it, then back up and go through the shield door without any real issues. However, I still stand by my origininal decision that most of the Tsavo Speedrun is based on luck and will NOT be included in any walkthrough authored by me.

And the video actually looks fantastic, Muzza. Thank you!

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 agree with Tyrant on the state of the Tsavo speedrun, too many things differ as I found out yesterday:
Turrets can be in different positions each time, Choppers at the blockade may take undue interest in a lone Spartan and the fact that you aren't fighting back puts your survival almost toally in the hands of the enemy AI which isn't the best idea.
On the other hand it is quite a quick way of getting through the mission and if you practice enough would be more probable.
Hopefully when the Tsavo contest pops up we won't have everyone going on about how they got to the end after 5 minutes but then got killed; hopefully they'll take it steady instead.

Also on a side note I'm interested to know if the winner of the Floodgate challenge will continue with any more Mythic, if not I will be most disappointed that a player who put minimal effort into the game managed to win a prize that is better deserved by others who show more dedication and interest in helping the Mythic community. I italicised community because that seems to be what Bungie are giving most sets of Recon out for now: community involvement.
I'll remain hopeful for another conqueror with Recon.

I've taken the liberty of knocking together a forum page on HaloCharts for your Floodgate 2.0 walkthrough video. Basically, we can embed YouTube videos into our forum posts over there, so we can easily add text comments above/below to accompany the clips.

Unfortunately I don't have a capture card so I can't capture your 2.0 videos, but if anyone else could and then uploaded the appropriate clips to YouTube we could basically create a 2.0 walkthrough similar to what you did on HBO.

I would find it useful as I have my laptop next to my X-box/TV playing your HBO walkthroughs when I'm doing Mythic, so to be able to have your new and improved 2.0 versions there would be awesome. Currently I have to download and watch the film on the X-box and try and remember it when playing. Although I have your 2.0 text walkthroughs on screen it would be nice to have the video clips as well, (I'm a visual learner lol).

If you don't want to do this I completely understand and I'm in no way trying to step on HBO's toes by suggesting this, if they're planning on hosting your 2.0 version walkthroughs that's great!

Let me know what you think anyway, thanks.

That is very generous of you, Willis. Thanks! I don't mind at all. I think it would be a great idea. Though I am doing separate 2.0 guides for HBO, if you'd like, you can upload the films in their entirety to Youtube (or whomever is capable of doing so) and then the text from my current 2.0 guides can be copied/pasted into the pages at Halocharts. What do you think?

I've completed Halo on mythic (which I know by posters here is considered easy), not an easy task for me to say the least. Unfortunately scoring turned off and I did not know it. Is there any way i can submit the game without scoring for the contest ? I know this would be an exception to the rules but it wasn't weasy for me and I really don't feel like trying again. thank you, paul

No worries Tyrant! I'm glad you like the idea :)

If you're doing separate guides for HBO though that's great, I wasn't sure if you were so I thought I'd offer the option.

If anyone does capture your films and loads the clips onto YouTube then I'll quite happily put together a page for each mission on our forums, copying and pasting in your text like you said.

Sounds great!

Louis at HBO gave me a very pleasant surprise last week when he sent me a fully rendered video of my Halo 2.0 run. Out of the blue just like that. Very generous of him indeed. So I'm adding the 2.0 guides to HBO as an addon to the originals. The format will be the same (minus the narration) where I'll type some text, and then there will be a flash video to demonstrate it. So having the entire run on your site similiar to the way GameVee paralleled my HBO walkthrough with full runs on their site (back in the day), would definitely benefit everyone who's ready to take the next step.

Excellent idea, Willis! And thank you :-)

Just done Halo...again.
Got my time down to 19 minutes and 38 seconds - 3 minutes better than last time. :-)
I also checked that the "view game" link was working seeing as the site broke that link on my last film.

Halo has become pretty easy now, just take Johnson's Laser and you can use it all the way to the Warthog, =)

Hey, if you send a message while your account is still gold and the game was played during gold, but lose your membership the next day and renew it before the due date, can you still win?

P.S - The challenge is getting pretty fun, I hope it doesn't get frustrating.

No worries! Like I said, I'm glad you like the idea.

That was really good of Louis to capture your Halo run for you as well. I love his site - I've downloaded all of the Campaign cutscenes from HBO in HD so I will always feel indebted to them.

Wow, that seems to be great, looks good.

Thanks Gazas!

It's always good to get input from a fellow conquerer :-)

Good idea, a video by someone other than Tyrant which uses his tactics is a good idea. It shows people that Tyrant's tactics are easily repeatable. I like it.
You going to follow it on and do all the missions? Or something like that.

  • 06.25.2009 11:59 AM PDT

Completed the storm today thanks to watching jimmatt's vid. I honestly think I can have tsavo highway completed within a couple of days, looks pretty simply in general, just a few challenges such as the 3 wraiths.
