I knew about the glass being able to absorb sniper rounds, but using the upper level of the building as your main base of operations is pretty unusual. Not to say it can't work, obviously it does. I'd assume the main threats would be Brute Shots am I correct?

Personally didn't encounter much trouble with Bruteshots. The Goldie Brutes with the Bruteshots seemed to stay at the other end of the dam wall while I just picked off the grunts. Plus, if you leave most of the window intact facing that direction, that'll take a hit for you should it come to it. After the grunts were gone I dropped down back to the original area near the cliff, picked up a couple of plasma pistols, and started on the brutes. Hammer Brute showed his face at that point, but after tackling The Covenant, he was no problem.

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

Well that is what i usually do on sierra but i always die. In my opinion it is too risky.

Just died at the dam battle. When the cutscene triggered, I saw that I had no shields so I was naturally screwed anyway. Oddly enough, I died from a carbine shot a second before the beam rifle jackal got me, despite having already taken out the carbine one on top of the building across from where you enter the area, and the one directly below. Carbine brute maybe?

Alright, I've just done Sierra 117. But tomorrow I'm going on holiday to France for a month and won't have any internet access. So I need to get my submission in now, but I'm not sure what to title it, Mythic Sierra sounds like it fits with the previous challenges so on a hunch I've gone with that.
And good luck to everyone who enters the last two challenges. :-)

Lol funny, I'm leaving for a french area too, just not the motherland. I did the same as you, since Tyrant has yet to say a word on the matter. SMRC: Sierra 117 was my message and Mythic Sierra my film title. I don't think Crow's Nest will be a problem, just The Ark, I got mildly lucky in my run. Good luck to all those still doing Sierra, I'll be back in a few days.

Finished Sierra 3rd try - 6/9 complete. =] Still cba to try Cortana again so I'll get ready for Crows Nest.

I've been on holiday for two weeks so I was unable to enter The Covenant & Cortana challenges but just before I left I found I had obtained recon armour via the Bungie vs World playlist hidden metrics!

So I obviously won't be submitting any more SMRC entries but I thought I'd post to let my fellow Mythic Conquerers know that they now have an increased chance in the bonus raffle as I will no longer be in it! Good luck!

all but one of the videos for crows nest seem to not be loading up (just a white area where the vids should be). is this just for me or is the site messed up? if the site is messed up, can anyone tell me where i can get the vids?

  • 07.26.2009 5:49 PM PDT

Finished Sierra today. Starting on Crows Nest tomorrow.

I still need to find a more full-proof way of getting past the first few rooms in The Storm . I normally get stuck by a random grenade when almost all of the enemies have been killed.

Everything is interesting if you go into it deeply enough.

There is no "Fool-proof" method for Mythic. You are never guaranteed to complete a level, no matter how many times you've done it. However, knowing how things generally happen can help.

The first few rooms of the Storm gave me a lot of trouble. I had my "own" way of doing it, borrowing for other people's techniques and mashing them all together into something I liked. First I threw a plasma grenade into the bunch sitting next to the holo-projector, turned left and headed down the stairs, where a Jackal is stand with his shield away from you for an easy headshot.

Usually, but not always, there is a grunt at the bottom of the stairs. He will occasionally stick himself, but usually you have to take him out. After that, I like to clean up most of the grunts on the ground, and then generally circle back up the stairs and set up for the 3 grunts heading through the door beside the gate. Once those are taken care of I head back for some BR ammo, open the gate, and set the warthog up.

Then I like to edge up the side walkway overlooking the corridor and take out a few unsuspecting grunts nearby. After that, I head back and open up the gate with my warthog positioned like in Tyrants guide. I BR all the grunts I see and leave the Jackals and Brutes to the Marines. If you can manage it, it's nice to board one of the ghosts for shields.

After that it's just a rush to the Wraith, and you've basically made it to the Scarab.

You are just going to have to practice it until you have it down. Guides help a lot, but if you are having trouble with a particular method, don't be afraid to experiment.

Well i have the opposite of luck i was attempting cortana and i got to the room where you usually find the 1 flood with either the shotgun, sword or hammer well. So i ran to the pillar and hid but they knew i was there i had to take on 3 elite forms 1 with a sword i mannaged to defeat them the there was a shotgun flood and hammer flood to top my luck off!

Tyrant, me and my friend did Sierra on the 25th, can we still submit them considering the SMRC VII: Sierra 117 was posted today?

It is from Thursday to the next Thursday every week isn't it?

Correct, and yes that is fine.

I read your thread Tyrant about "Multi Mythic" and got very exited! Are you and VincentKurayama the only one who have done Mythic Coop?

Edit: Just completed Halo on Mythic Coop.
