Way to to Thug. I didn't know you were so far along. Good luck on Crow's Nest, I think you may need it. I hope to hear good news very soon.

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

I'm having some trouble with Tsavo Highway unfortunetely :( I swear sometimes Tyrant's guide is brilliant, and other times it seems to lead me straight into a nightmare. I've tried following them pretty much to the letter and so far has served me well, but the section of enemies where you encounter the first Wraith is really becoming a headache. I can't clear out the area fast enough to avoid the jump-pack brutes, and either get trapped up on the bridge, killed trying to rush through, or just stupid mistakes on my part.

Any advice for this area? So far I haven't made it through here.

Try this method it works pretty well up to the Wraiths.

Im sorry I do not understand. Do you have to play the certain level on mythic difficulty only if that level challenge is going on? or can you just beat any or all the levels on mythic anytime before halo odst comes out?

I will accomplish this if I want to do it. I need leverage though...

I guess you didn't know that Recon is up for grabs. That's leverage enough for a lot of people.


It could be leverage but Recon is not my thing. I would care for an opportunity to be a campaign and level tester online some of the time for bungie. Now that would be an opportunity. Getting a certain specail armor that makes you feel higher than everyone else just seems selfish to be playing the campaign just for that...
I love the campaign so I guess i will just do it any way. Not for the armor but for an "opportunity".

You have one week per mission, that's it. I know I've answered this probably 3-4 times now. It's clearly stated in the rules.

This week was Tsavo Highway. Tyrant will ONLY accept submissions this week for TSAVO alone. Next week will be The Covanent and so on and so forth. If you could submit any mission at any time, why would there be a week with a mission title? I hope this helps.

P.S. Next time post questions about the SMRC in the thread specifically for the contest. This thread if more for the challenge of Mythic in general.

WOW I wish I had gone over that before finishing. I just took a good hour and 17 minutes beating the mission. Towards the end I started contemplating quitting because I ran out of PP ammo and had 2 Wraiths and 1 with a gunner to deal with. I did eventually get it done but damn that makes it look like a delicious piece of cake.

Yep, and if he can do Sierra 117 and The Ark, Crow's nest should be a walk in the park. Good luck Thug. :-)
Oh, and nice work on Sierra Jimmatt. You've certainly been trying long enough, it just goes to show that a little patience goes a long way. Congrats.

I'm currently trying to do the level the covenant on mythic, I've just done a practice run and most of it seems very easy, apart from messing about taking the first tower slow and steady and a couple of random sticks everything went well.
The thing I'm needing advice on is getting the warthog to drive up to the first tower itself. I went down, took out the turret and all enemies there, then went back up the slope and took out the wraith with two laser shots. I waited there for about five minutes, but reinforcments never came, and I had to walk back down to the beach. What exactly triggers the hog to follow you up? Is there something in the 2.0 film that I've missed? Thanks for answering.

Before you laser the wraith, you should come up the hill to find a grunt about to get in his ghost. Kill him, then destroy the wraith, and then take the empty ghost to where you killed the last shade, the mongoose and warthog should be coming up the hill.

I have been doing some practice runs myself the last couple days. I usually do them without Iron and Blind. I found that when I got to the top of the hill and took out the wraith, I had to get into the Ghost to activate the next checkpoint. This made the Warthog move up the hill. I don't know if they will come all the way up because I always met them half way, but once you have the ghost, your travel time is quick.

Can we start the covenant?

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

Blargh. The Elites never really changed sides, they're just as bad as the marines.
Word of warning to folks attemptng The Covenant this week: Never, and I mean NEVER try to lead you allies into battle as to them you may as well have active camo and they'll try to shoot through you. -.-
On the other hand I had it coming, I wouldn't have had to get close to the battle (needed to get shields back via melee) if I'd been a tad more observant when fighting off the Banshees and hadn't taken that fuel rod to the face. :-P

Also, just though I'd mention that if the Weapon Chieftain atop Tower 1 misbehaves by absolutely refusing to use his attack which allows a backsmack you can lure him behind the glass then stand on the lift and he can't attack you for some reason. Of course I've just gone and remembered that it's actually better to fool him into walking into the glass so as to stick his Hammer or use a Beam Rifle on him, but it's always another opion if you can't get back in front of the glass.

Well, I really wouldn't call it a loop hole. lol. Range-shooting, pop-shooting, clip-shooting, among other tactics, are also technically glitching the game. Heck, take a look at Covie Kamikaze. There's some mad glitching in Tower Three.

Hey tyrant, is it true you and shadowstrike1 are going to do something in multiplayer..........you don't have to answer this if you don't want to.
p.s. i know this doesn't have to do with mythic walkthrough...........

  • 07.10.2009 10:52 AM PDT

Well I did a trial run of The Covenant earlier without iron - 22 deaths lol.

I think the parts I'm going to struggle with are the war chieftain in tower 3, the 2 scarabs, and the jetpack brutes + chieftain inside the citadel.

Everything else however is very simple.

Incidentally, I don't suppose anyone else has had the pelican glitch inside the cliff at the scarab battle? I couldn't see it anywhere, until I saw it's nose and wing sticking out of the rear cliff lol. =/
