Hmm. Just assuming your disc isn'tt he problem doesn't mean it isn't.
As for Cortana not being your type of mission, earlier in the thread I said that the mission was like Marmite; you either love it or hate it.

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,

Wha...? I think you're just looking at it wrong. Marmite's a spread that goes on toast, but it has a very unique taste which you either love or hate. :-S

HaloWheelmen & HaloCharts

Last night I made it to the final run back a couple time, but fell just shy. I should ahve this completed tonight. (I hope so because my in-laws are coming in for a visit on Wednesday through the weekend.)

I find that I like the 2.0 method with a couple small changes. I don't run back down the hill in Hell's Hallway; I take it slow in The Hive. So, on the way to the end of The Hive, I pick up a Camo on the way to use on the exit of the Hive. Other than that, I stick with the 2.0 method.

Thanks for the great walk-throughs Tyrant!

I was well on my way to beating Cortana in under 9 min... I got to the end of Hell's Hallway Part II in 7:27, where I got sliced by a Sword Elite as I dropped down to escape... imagine how frustrating that feels...

I will attempt to set the speed run record next week when I am home in FL.

Well done to all of you guys who have completed Cortana in record time! When I do it I will most probably take it slowly, and make sure that I am not leaving anything that could come back to haunt me later on.

Okay guys, time to help me again. So I have been trying Kamikaze on The Ark, only for the first area, but I have yet to pass to the third skirmish. i get by where the hunters would be, but by then I am shieldess, and the Brute and his grunts eat me up, what do I do?
Study other's work. Pahat and others hide behind a specific rock, download his film and give it a watch.

Practice that area too, it's in the beginning, but you still don't want to die over and over...

All I really watched was tyrants, but i didn't 'study' it. Thanks, but I'm just considering going fighting the first area.

And my other main problem is when fighting the ghost, just before the massive canyon where the frigate lands. I can never kill them both, I get one but the second always seems to finish me. Any advice or just the same old follow the guide? =P
Thanks again for all the help guys.


For that first rush I studied Pahat's video. As Gazas says there's a rock he uses which affords a reasonable amount of cover, but if you hang around for too long (between 5 and 10 second) the mob below will catch up to you and the Phantom dropping off the Hunters will also take shots at you. I also practiced sticking the Brute if possible, it removes his armour and can fling him off the cliff from time to time. Grunts should also be a top priority at that point as there are 7 of them with grenades and only one of you. Usually by the time you kill the Brute and 4 of the Grunts the last 3 will panic which allows you to run past them if you can hear the other enemies drawing close.

IMO this is the most time consuming part of the mission as it results in the most deaths and returns to sitting in the Pelican. Nail this and the rest of the mission is easy until the War Chieftain after activating the Cartographer.

Pahat's Video.
Tyrant's 2.0 Video.
My Video.

These will probably give you some examples of the rock I was talking about. Good Luck.

Also, on an off note: It seems the Mythic Rendering thing has stopped, apparently we're still waiting for Tyrant's Crow's Nest to render.

I'll check out pahats, the after that I'm gonna go 1.0 and load up a prowler with some rockets, seems a lot easier than taking a chopper and rocketing each ghost myself. Thanks for the help.

More information regarding Mythic difficulty can be found at this thread

Did a run through of Sierra 117, without iron. Died 5 times, not bad, since my first run I died 24. Made it through the dam without any problems. Couldn't believe that.

I like this mission, much more controlable than Cortana. Plus I get to work on assassinating hammer chieftans.

Name it cortana, because the level is cortana not the covenant :P. Also click on the tyrants profile and send a private message with the info the contest rules say in your message.

I had an annoying experience today, already frustrated from the fact I seem to be dying and reaching the top of the first tower much less than before and from running up that hill, I was added by a guy. Turned out to be some little kid who added me because I was on Tyrant's friends list and I was asked a million questions about recon and how to get in the 'mythic clan'. I don't know how some of you cope, one person was enough to annoy me badly, ignorant idiots.

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!

In risk of turning this thread into a pool of -CENSORED- *ahem* complaining: Ya know what I hate? Grunts. Grunts and their plasma grenades. Brutes too. And their damned Brute shots.

So, I took an hour or so of time this morning to try my hand at Sierra 117 again. In one of the, obviously failed, runs I only manage to get to the third area. Just before the river bank. Pathetic. I was dodging the Brute Captain's Brute shots for at least a minute, trying to get him with an overcharge plasma pistol and wishing the Arbiter would stop messing about and actually be useful and distract this bastard. The dodging of the Brute Shots felt easy and natural until; BAM! right in the face. ....... Hi johnson!

On a slightly better run I got all the way to the downed pelican. Was on the ledge, took out all the jackals with counter-sniping. All the grunts I could see, ammoed up, then dropped down. Going under the bridge, take out a few grunts by the Phantom. Wait for the Phantom to leave while hiding under the bridge.... BAM! killed by a plasma grenade. Never saw it coming...

The same thing that makes Halo great: the random moments, is the same thing that can make it truly frustrating at times. I know I can do this mission. There is no singular part that is beyond me, the whole is easily place together, but I just keep dying.

Nevermind eh? The competition for this level isn't until Friday anyway. So I might just do some more practice runs (sans Iron) tomorrow. Try a bit of Crows Nest, then see about actually completing it on Friday or the weekend.

1) Urk and Tyrant are two completely different people. Scary, right?
2) Since it's Tyrant's challenge, you send it to him.
3) Anymore questions about the challenge should be posted here.
Hope it helped.

I'd like to thank all the current conquerors, without your fileshares and support I'd still be stuck on Halo. I'd like to thank Tyrant for making the best guide a man could ask for, then making one even better. And I'd like to say this is the most fun I;ve had in Halo in a long time. So thanks, it has been a blast. Note I'm still going to do Mythic, but not nearly as much. Thanks, that is all. =)

Argh, my perfect Cortana run was shattered D: Everything had been perfect (well for me at any rate) and whilst making my way back through hell's highway, a brute shot flood decides he wants to be my pal. After getting through unscathed (or so I thought) and reentering the projector room, I began to take the left way around the room, where who should I meet? Yet another brute flood. Thinking 'woo shields :D' he 1 shots me with a spiker round...

If I hadn't of died, I would have either just matched or beaten gazas's run.
