Cool.

My old headset broke, it's scary to play without one now. They can come from anywhere.

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!

FYI, Gazas. I blocked your "friend". We was starting to get on my last nerve...

I am of an open mind and I am willing to hear criticism. Also: That's stupid and you're stupid.

I finally beat "The Storm," just grab a Plasma Pistol and shoot the AA Gun from the turret spawn and mission complete. Woohoo....

I did that once I realized the Brute Captain in the distance broke the turret off of its stand with the Fuel Rod. Talk about bad luck!

The guy I messaged to you about? He actually kept messaging you? What a dewsh.

BTW, he is indeed a "friend". He's the one who technically got me banned.

Okay guys, I'm gonna go do Tsavo Highway. I know the competition isn't until next week, but I'd like to complete it before hand and find an easy way to complete it so i can re-do it. Wish me luck.

Good Luck :)

For some reason the rocket launcher dissappears after I've killed the scarab, am I doing something wrong or do I just need to be a bit quicker? I'm getting better though, I almost always make it to the scarab now :D

Good progress, but with regards to your Rocket Launcher, did you kill a marine to acquire it? If so pick up the Launcher then drop it again for your BR/PP. This locks it in place and (usually) prevents the cleanup gremlins removing it.
Oh and good luck to TheMoleN1. :-)

EDIT: Hey Tyrant, did you know that in Q4M you've got moderators down as "Mythic Conquerer" rather than "Mythic Conqueror"? Just pointing it out should you find yourself bored one day and feel compelled to fix it. ;-) It doesn't bother me unduly; it's just something I noticed.

I've found it best to go into the scarab with a BR/Plasma Pistol, but before I'd go I'd put the Rocket Launcher right outside the door where you first see the mongoose rocket launcher part, then after I kill the scarab I'd go back and pick it up.

Though this isn't a bad idea either, the problem comes if you walk too far. In this case, the Marines will speed out the door, and the enemies will be triggered. This makes it more tough to reach the middle area safely.

yeah I realized that the 2ndish time I tried it, but if you space yourself so that you barely throw the Rockets outside then it won't trigger them, in my experience at least.

Don't take this as a complaint, but I've noticed some players receiving their Mythic medals on Halo Charts, but I have yet to receive any of mine. Did they get theirs because they did the whole "jump the gun and ask (insert gamertag here)" thing? Did you get my "The Storm" entry?

It's best if you submit one of their forms if you want to see those medals soon. They take top priority.

On the Storm, there's this random ghost that keeps killing me when I try to plasma pistol the brute on the walkway at the first AA wraith, and it was never there before when I beat the mission a couple of weeks back. Any idea what's triggering it?

  • 06.30.2009 11:39 AM PDT

Ouch, I made it to the scarab again. I then broke of the missile pods to stop the marines from blowing my head off, but next thing I know I miss the scarab! And without missile pods I had to wait ten minutes untill it went under the crane again >=[ At least I killed the scarab, but then got killed by ONE spike from a spike grenade. Better luck next time=D

Well it'll be one of the Ghosts who normally just circle the lakebed. Usually when I'm driving towards the Mortar Wraitht they'll take potshots at me. There's notihng you can do except keep your wits about you and get ready to stick/EMP the sucker if it comes too close. Otherwise you might be hanging around the jetty too long.

Everything is interesting if you go into it deeply enough.

Yeah, I've had that happen to me some, I think it has to do with where you park the Warthog. If you park it to far out it draws the attention of the Ghosts. But that's just my theory.

This. Park it where I park it in the video. No further.

Oh yeah, I forgot that the 'hog is driven in the Walkthrough. I haven't used the Warthog at that section in the longest time, I was just assuming he was using the Ghost, my bad. :-P

  • 06.30.2009 2:59 PM PDT

I'm a great guy really.

May have to resort to the old missile pod method soon, is only my 2nd day of trying but its all going wrong again. Twice today when I got to the scarab, as I jumped it stepped back causing me to fall to my death. How do I prevent it from reacting to my movements? Do i have to be extremely quick? Because I was pretty fast the second time. Was quite annoyed as it was by far my fastest run ever because I accidentally blew up the wraith, but I was 1 shot killing every ghost with my BR, no idea how.

Which crane do you use? For me, the crane on the right is much easier than the left one. All the times I have used the right crane the scarab, once it's over as far as it can go, never moves, backs-up, when I jump on to it. The left crane is kind of random, the scarab has a tendency to back-up and just be a pain if you use that method.
Anyways, try the right crane. And if you have been using it, well, you might be able to use Dark's way of using the grav lift to get on board.

And Tyrant, did you get my submission for the storm?

Screw the crane and use the Gravity Lift instead. Much easier, just need to know the timing.

Do you have a video of the grav lift? Don't know where to use it.

You know that cylinder thing in the middle of the lake bed? You climb the ladders on that and then use the lift in the middle of it as the Scarab drops down, then you just need to time your elevation so that you go up as the Scarab comes down.
Best bit is that even if you fail you shouldn't die from the height and should be able to make it back to the missile pods.
