Hey Tyrant, because I submitted my Crow's Nest run Friday, and left the name as Crow's Nest because I didn't know what to call it, would I still be eligible?


Of course.


Good to know.
I'd better start practicing for The Ark.
Have you also only completed it once? Makes me feel like I won't be able to complete it a second time. That mission is long and hard....it's going to be painful, the deeper I get. Imagine if I failed right in the end.


So many setups.... must resist....

Anyway, Crow's Nest and The Ark were the only missions I had beaten just once before entering SMRC. Now its just The Ark as the only mission I've beaten once.
Same here, hopefully soon there won't be any left.

Tyrant, I made that previous post for you, I know we both enjoy those, lol.

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

After going through a rather lengthy Mythic dryspell, I cranked up The Ark. TBH it wasn't nearly as tough as I remembered it. It still tops the charts when it comes to being the most frustrating mission on Mythic, but I had gotten used to it by then. Heck, I went back the next day and did it again just to make it look nicer for 2.0.

EDIT: Gazas, you have a dirty mind.

lol!

I'm also guessing the S117 winner has been chosen?

Speaking of S117, I need to practice the dam kamikaze some time. Need to beat the 20 minute barrier.

I failed at the end of Crow's Nest the first time I ran it. And that was when I was scared of every enemy on mythic runs. Got stuck in the foot by a grunt hiding behind a truck as I ran to the elevator. Now I'm on like, my fourth run. Gets easier every time. I guess the same can't be said for the Ark. I've gotten good at using a kamikaze technique to get past the first two encounters in about a minute, but the real meat of the mission is in the ending parts, with the war chieftain and all of those brutes in that one room.

Right now, I just used the camo run to arm the bomb and ditch the final chieftain, and I have one camo left, but I'll save that for the final run through the hangar bay. I'm also going to take a looooong break right now.

I didn't win. =(
Lol but on the bright side, I'm ready for the Ark. I may even do some practice runs to be 100% prepared.

Lol I don't how you guys can do it. I keep getting screwed. I had trouble with even the Hangar. And some Grav Hammars can kill you when like 4 steps behind the swinger.

Yeah. I might practice, but not untill closer to the challenge.

I was playing The Covenant earlier. Third Tower clear, I get in the Warthog. Drive past the first area with the Prowler. Everything going good, get to the 2 Ghosts and flip my hog....
I'll try again later.

I beat one of Pahat Pojat's record Mythic times!! I did Cortana SLASO in 8:35....

Congrats! Any new trix? Or combination of existing ones? You're part of a very small group of Halo speedrun record holders now. But obviously its not official yet. Not until we some filmage.

Been practicing The Ark today. The first two sections are incredbly frustrating. Either fighting them or rushing them. The middle section is fine. I can deal with that. But the end part with the small rooms and lots of brutes has been messing me up quite a bit too. I think I may spend all this week practicing without iron and only do a proper run next week. Certainly not ready to do it all in one go just yet.

GT: The Depleted

Shocked myself and beat Crow's Nest on my 4th attempt. Died once getting to the hangar (oops) and twice in the hangar itself before I got it! 2.0 method for the jump pack Brutes really helped - that was the one battle that I consistently failed at while tackling it 1.0.

Likewise and I totally agree! But as you said previously, we can't give up now there's just 1 left, right? :D

I would say at highest 35-40 people. I'm guessing around 20 though. Also, Bungie takes all the names and pulls one randomly.

On my own note, when fighting a war chieftain, if you plasma stun them once is it possible to stun them again? Or do they just take it liek nothing?

  • 08.03.2009 7:37 PM PDT

Wow, crows nest is really starting to annoy me. The hangar battle is always the hardest for me. I am either getting fragged by my marines, or a plasma happy grunt gets me. Oh well, I hope to have it finished tomorrow. If I can get past the Hangar battle, all I have to do is worry about jumping and staying on the pelican. I am so ready for this level to be over with.

You can't stun them again, unless it uses its invincibility. The invincibility regenerates the chieftan's shields, so you would be able to plasma stun them again.

The hangar battle gives me the most trouble too. Generally, if you hang back in the room before the hangar and peek out of the two doors, you can survive the hangar battle safely for the first 3 waves.

When the dust settles, you will learn what true terror is.

Just beat Crow's Nest, just one more to go and I'll be on that list in the OP! Probably start practicing tomorrow sans-iron. Can't wait to be one of the Mythic Conquerers!

Dont worry about The Ark, man. If you beat Crow's Nest, you've got nothing to worry about. I did it on my first try after getting passed the ghosts, which is only like 3 minutes into the mission, which is easy to get passed.

The beginning of the level is half-luck, which is what is going to rack up your number of tries. Once you get passed the ghosts though, it's easy sailing for the rest of the level.

From the ghosts, you are in a tank. After the tank part, you're up against sleeping enemies. After that, you're just PP/BRing brutes in close quarters (sounds like a level you recently beat, huh?). After that, just some Pop n Shot brutes, and you're clear.

Give yourself about 3 hours, and you'll have the level down.

Thanks for the words of encouragement, and yeah I just read/watched through the 1.0 guide on HBO and I'm really not all that worried. The only really tough part seems to be the very beginning, which is good because I'd rather get it out of the way. Everything else is, as always, just taking it slow and checking my corners.

I'd like to say, though, that it's really very impressive that you Mythic Masters are so encouraging and helpful to others working on this goal. It's all too often that people who achieve something this awesome form an exclusive club, of sorts, and look down on everyone else not in it. So on behalf of myself and everyone else you've helped, thank you so very much for your patience, encouragement, and above all, respect you've given us. You've certainly earned it all back. =)

I agree, this mission seems like it's taking more out of me then others, especially after my little, *ahem* "incident" the other night that has no explination. I'm confident I'll get it done but I have yet to get past the barracks. LUCKIEST stick I've ever seen a brute get on me.
