Back when this was Dark's last mission before becoming a conqueror, he couldn't seem to figure out how to get the death barrier to despawn. As a result, he died 2-3 times trying to figure it out. Imagine making it to the end of the hardest mission of the game that many times only to be killed by a glitch...

Ouch. I was just thinking after I got killed; well, would have been worse if the death barrier killed me!

You have to get a checkpoint (eliminate all brutes and 2 jackals) while standing near the exit door (but not too close for the last brutes to spawn) on the lower level in the camo brute room for the death barrier to despawn. Am I right?

What someone did a pacifist way with no killing in Halo?!

For HSH at least, pacifist rules extend beyond just no killing. No weapon use of any kind. Even just hammer use or melees in the air. And for halo 3, no equipment use either. Its -blam!- hard, but floodgate is a joke of a mission in terms of difficulty anyway.

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

Third attempt (first two were fast deaths, lol) and I got to the Plasma Turret Chieftain right after the map. Took out ALL of the other brutes in the area, but he got lucky with his power drainer, then a glancing shot from his plasma turret as I ducked behind a wall and two hours went down the drain. Still, I feel pretty good about being able to beat this mission and claim my title as a conqueror soon.

Halo 3 Mythic Conqueror #11
ODST Mythic Conqueror #2
Reach Mythic Conqueror #2
Halo: CEA Mythic Conqueror #1
Halo 4 Mythic Conqueror #1

Whenever I try to kamikaze the first area I always end up dying at the top of the hill. I can never seem to stick the brute captain, so I get brute shot'd back to the start.

When you pass it though its a breeze afterward. Watch pahats video, he has a great spot to hide out in.

A Huge thanks to Tyrant for creating such an awesome walkthrough for each level, it has definitely been a treacherous road for many on this challenge, I am very proud to be one of the few to complete it. Good Luck to Everyone on their completion of The Ark ^^

Nice. I'm still trying to complete Halo. I am deter mend to complete it. I just keep getting killed by the sentials while I'm driving.

I might just go onto the Ark, seeing as it will probably be one of the last recon competitions before ODST is released. And I want recon so that if the vidmasters are too hard for me, I will still be able to wear it with pride. By completing the longest and hardest mission in the game. I am also hoping that the last vidmasters will have something to do with completing Halo 3 and Halo 3:ODST on MYTHIC!

Well after all this if I don't win this one then I'm out. I did terrible on Covenant, I managed to get Cortana barely, I failed my favorite level when I got the end twice, and even though I beat Crows Nest which I submitted around 11 o clock Bungie time (PST) I don't even think it will count in the end. I just don't know how you guys do it so well.

GT: The Depleted

Nailed The Ark! Got so fed up of watching that opening cutscene after my failed rushes I took the extra 10 minutes to clear those first 2 areas. After spending an hour of failing the rush (there's just always something that gets me) I beat it the first time after I killed everything! With that I've now beat the entire Mythic campaign too!

I'm sure I'm echoing previous comments here but it has to be said! A huge thanks to Tyrant for the time and effort that goes into his fantastic guides (and the SMRC which hooked me on Mythic difficulty.) Of course all the other conquerors and people in this thread who helped out through their advice and their file shares deserve a big thank you too! I guess I'll be working on my times now, really need to tackle The Storm again - being my first Covenant Mythic mission I struggled hugely on it.

Well, I do hope it counts just because your a good guy, hopefully it does! =)

From what ive noticed about Mythic, it takes practice. That, and when you
no longer fear the thought of death or failure, it seems to loosen a player up
ALOT when trying to tackle this endeavor.

I like Six's death, the way the scene was made makes it look like Six is in a nightmare, powerless and tired to stop the unending waves of elites before she can't carry on anymore. Like trying to wriggle free from a spiderweb you just can't do it and end up tiring yourself in panic.

It may seem painfully obvious, but anyone attempting this who hasn't got the Campaign Meta-Game achievements may want to turn Individual Scoring on, you'll easily smash the score with even CLASO.

Yea, my Ark run did not go over so swell, but I make progress..
so that is a confidence booster.. We will see how tonight goes!

I don't even wanna go on it, to me I think it's the longest mission. If anything I'd try to do it as a speed run almost Kamikaze.

I don't fear failing. But I HATE when I fail because of some stupid mistake on my part. Like... getting stuck with a plasma grenade while trying to headshot grunts that should have been asleep anyway.

Yep. Just happened. Right inside the Cartographer building. It arrogance that is sometimes letting me down "oh, i'll just get the headshot then duck behind cover" NO! -blam!- that, duck behind cover first, let the plasma grenade go off, THEN get the headshot. I really need to get this into my head.

Edit: Also, I hate that, in some situations, melees will trigger grenades.

Maybe not a 100% solution but the more you throw, the more you pick up, so the more you throw, the less grenades there are to be triggered.

Yea, I suppose arrogance and "over" confidence can be just as bad as apprehensive
and nervous gameplay.. After fail upon and fail, I just became numb to the pain of failure,
and that was the moment I found victory.. at least so far, Im just starting.. offline for the
majority of the contest.. though Ive ran the Ark twice offline a few months ago.

You should know though RC! Grunts dont care about skill or experience.
Those little punks find ways to stick that searing blue ball somewhere
unhappy no matter what! =P

The Ark is going down.. but, I must admit.. long level=nervous, especially @
the Plasma Turret, Hammer Chieftain/Pelican area, so close to victory is nerve
racking.

Confidence....bah! As soon as I get it up, I die.

Funnily enough I was messing around in Crow's Nest on Mythic and said that there's no way I'm going to die before every area. I acted like I was God. Completed the level.

Oh, that sucks. =(
I prepared for a good ten minutes for that battle. Like 10 PP and a few rifles, two carbines, regen, bubble and invincibilty. I did great. You'll get it soon enough Dark. =)

And congrats to all the new conquerors.

As for the Invincibility on SLASO Crows Nest, I have a unique way of conquering
that nasty part in under 45seconds. I was going to film/send it to Tyrant, but doing
it in a full complete run would greatly magnify the accomplishment.

That and being a complete stranger doesnt help much!


Sorry for the topic change, but since Crow's Nest is done, I figured I should ask now...

Tyrant, I don't want to just PM a film outright with no notice, but would be so kind to
approve beforehand? It is a 1min tutorial of something I found in the Motor Pool.
Id put it in my fileshare and link it but.. I wanted you to see it first.

If not, I know your a busy man!

and DEV, I belive in you. =D

Okay, so you MUST kill all enemies in the stalker room. Never go on the ground floor, period. Do not go to close to the door at the other end, just incase. Deal with the stalkers from the staircase and kill the jackals from the ledge above. Never touch the floor. EVER. Then go back, dont jump off but carefully slide on to the ledge below (the cartographer), then fall down to the chieftain. Assasinate, stock pile then go.
