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

Sierra 117 is actually one of the harder ones...

But yes, complete the level the week it is eligible, place it in your Fileshare, send it to Tyrant via PM in hyperlinked format. All in the rules.

It's how you play the game that counts most.

If you want in on the final raflle, you would have had to eaither have completed ALL campaign missions a while ago, or have submitted each one in line with the corresponding week. Otherwise, yeah, you can kinda just pick and choose, just make sure you submit it during the right time. You're too late for Floodgate, Halo, The Storm and Tsavo Highway though.


Wow! 16 going in - and only 60 completed Tsavo?

Tyrant - how many of us have done all four levels on time so far?

In Tower 3, do he flood ALWAYS have weapons? It appears even though I juggled all the guns to myself, far away from any bodies, they still had an AR. Needless to say, I died pretty fast. Oh well, I guess practice makes perfect. The stalkers were much easier the second time around, hopefully I'll complete it my next run, which is like an hour each. I had no time to practice for this so I guess I'm doing it okay,

Halo 3 (31st), ODST (14th) and Reach (4th) Mythic Conqueror. (Mythic is Solo, Legendary, All skulls on + scoring on and no deaths/saves).

Staff Writer and speedrun record holder at highspeedhalo.net

Ignorance is the true enemy of all things.

Rocking Bungie.net for over 8 years!

The main challenge with The Covenant seems to be its length more than anything. All the individual sections are relatively straight forward and fairly safe, at least by Tyrant's 2.0 guide. The only challenge is putting it all together. IMO.

I got all the way to the hunters a couple of times but go distracted by one and then got smashed by the other. Or just beamed. Should be completable in a week though.

BTW, Something I've always found fun: Use a power drainer on the stalkers and the Brute cheiftan as soon as you come up the lift in Tower 3. Then laser the cheiftan and simply headshot the stalkers. You won't always get all the stalkers' armour off (I only got 3 of them when I tried today) but it saves you having to search for their shimmering forms as much.

59 or less. I missed The Storm week :(

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

As a speedrunner, and as one of the people that did some of the original route planning upon which that run is based, I wouldn't recommend it at all for people just looking to complete Mythic. Perhaps other people are different, but the continual, repeated deaths which attempting a run like that will entail aren't worth it just for completion. I personally went with following Tyrant's guide for my run of it. FYI Cheeseliker put together that final route. Pahis just executed it better :P

y so mean i tried and died 50 times. i tired of trying to get recon tried bungie day played 13 hours straight noluck according to my friends i was one of the only ones 2 even tries this so ooohhhh well.


Don't feel bad Headshot, I played exactly23 hours and 8 minutes in Bungie day and got up to a lieutenant rank. I did not recieve any of their "special prizes" or had the chance to face them. It is what it is I guess....
I tried the covenant about 9 times on mythic. I found a glitch that would make it last only about 30 minutes long. I just have to activate it...

Well I just tried The Covenant again without iron, and I only died once, at the war chieftain in tower 3. Couldn't get close enough to assassinate him, and he dodged all of my PP attempts so I couldn't use the laser.

So that was pretty encouraging, quite confident I'll nail this one.

Edit: Though again the scarabs wouldn't turn around, so I had to take them both down with a single hornet. From what I've gathered, they stand still when the music stops, just like musical statues. =]

You know how the PP overcharge used to remove a Chieftain's Shield stuns him for a second? Well the regular Magnum pistol can stun them like that with every shot, so if you forget the Laser you could use a Magnum afterkilling the Stalkers to get close to the Chieftain and assassinate him. BTW Vincent was the guy who figured this out, so all credit to him. And I'd still recommend the Laser if possible.

The Mythic Threads (Halo 3) (ODST) (Reach)

I uploaded my Mythic Covie run and I notice that it has three downloads when I'm sending it to Tyrant. That's pretty quick. =) But for those who are downloading, thanks, I hope they are helpful.


And as I said it, with The Covenant out of my way, I can now practice on...Cortana right?

Nice work. Cortana is correct. I hope to complete Covenant today, I always have a little trouble assasinating the hammer chieftain, so I have yet to complete it. The Flood also cause me some trouble as I had no shields when they spawned and started AR'ing me.

You can either overcharge his shields off then get to work with a lot of BR headshots (Carbine doesn't work for the record) or you can repeatedly use a Magnum to stun him so you can move forward and assassinate him.

Glitch with Tower 3?

I've had a problem picking up weapons on the elevator platform at tower three. I can see the BR or Carbine - but I can't pick them up.

I tend to overstock PP - could that be the problem?

Nope. The elevator platforms are just buggy for some reason. I tihnk they're hungry so when you give them weapons they eat 'em. :-P

I believe it's 10 shots in the head with BR after taking out his shields?
